Natural zeolite clinoptilolite: new adjuvant in anticancer therapy.

Natural silicate materials, including zeolite clinoptilolite, have been shown to exhibit diverse biological activities and have been used successfully as a vaccine adjuvant and for the treatment of diarrhea. We report a novel use of finely ground clinoptilolite as a potential adjuvant in anticancer therapy. Clinoptilolite treatment of mice and dogs suffering from a variety of tumor types led to improvement in the overall health status, prolongation of life-span, and decrease in tumors size. Local application of clinoptilolite to skin cancers of dogs effectively reduced tumor formation and growth. In addition, toxicology studies on mice and rats demonstrated that the treatment does not have negative effects. In vitro tissue culture studies showed that finely ground clinoptilolite inhibits protein kinase B (c-Akt), induces expression of p21WAF1/CIP1 and p27KIP1 tumor suppressor proteins, and blocks cell growth in several cancer cell lines. These data indicate that clinoptilolite treatment might affect cancer growth by attenuating survival signals and inducing tumor suppressor genes in treated cells.

Zeolite the Healing Power of the Earth

As published in Funky Raw - Winter 2006

"Zeolite is simple, elegant, and extraordinary: and vital for healthy living in today's toxic world. I believe this most unique, natural substance is an alchemical gift from God to help us face our present-day health challenges due to ecological ignorance, or as they are called in Ayurveda, prajna prathara or crimes against nature" Dr Gabriel Cousens

There are about 70,000 commercially used chemicals of which 65,000 are hazardous to our health according to the US Environmental Protection Agency. Four billion pounds of toxic chemicals are released into the atmosphere every year of which seventy two million are known carcinogens.

This is having an effect on us. A study in 2004 by the Environmental Working Group tested babies umbilical – cord blood and found 287 industrial chemicals including 180 known to cause cancer and 217 that are toxic to the brain and nervous system.

Clearly, if toxic waste continues being released into the atmosphere uncontrolled there will be a catastrophe. But until it is brought under control we can for now at least eat all the right healthy food but have little or no control over what we breathe in from the atmosphere. Or so I thought until I found out about Zeolite.

Jane who has been into raw food and nutrition for over quarter of a century and has encyclopaedic knowledge in the area drew my attention to Zeolite and I have developed a fascination with this amazing mineral.

I  have known always that the planet could take care of the needs of all the creatures and plants that occupy her. And spreading the word about Zeolite helps that task.

Now as never before in human history we need to tap into that earth energy if we are to save ourselves and the planet.

Zeolites form as the molten lava from volcanoes and ocean water fuse at great heat. It is the classic combination of the elements air, water, earth and fire. I knew about the kind of effect this can have from what I knew about  moldavite which was formed as meteorites entered the earth’s atmosphere at great temperature and carry an energy force to many who touch it.

So it is not altogether a surprise that Zeolite is one of only two negatively charged minerals. It has a strong cage like structure that acts as a “magnet” that attracts toxins. A tetrahedra with silica at the centre and oxygen atoms at the corners it  can link at the corners. It absorbs and retains and safely expels toxins from the body. (The structure only breaks down at temperatures above 900 degrees centigrade and so it does not leach).

Zeolite has been taken as a general health aid by people in Asia for over 800 years. It is approved as safe by the US FDA.

The potential uses for zeolite are still unfolding as a natural earth supplement but some are

• A chelation-like effect removes heavy metals (particularly lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic), herbicides, pesticides, PCBs and other toxins from the body.
• It improves liver function so improving natural detoxification
• It creates an optimal Ph level between 7.35 and 7.45
• It absorbs free radicals.
• It stops diarrhoea.
• It also removes cesium and strontium-90 and was used to clean the contaminated water supply at Chernobyl.
• Many anecdotal reports claim full or partial remission from cancer

      and research continues in that area.

• It appears to block viral relication

• It even prevents hangovers by removing toxins from the alcoholic drink!

As a result people taking Zeolite say they are able to think more clearly, feel more healthy and have more energy.

I was initially sceptical about Zeolite until I became convinced by the effect of Zeolite on my friend Marian’s dog Keke, a twelve year old, her vet gave her a couple of weeks to live with Cancer of the Lymph Nodes so I gave Marian  some Zeolite  to see what happened and the results were indeed miraculous

“She has steadily improved since she started on Zeolite. She has been less tired and has her old sparkle back.  She went for her annual jab and check up today and the vet says that her lymph nodes have receded and in his words ‘it is looking hopeful for her ’.  I am delighted that she is in remission and I have no doubt, because I saw it from the very first day of taking it, that Zeolite has been responsible. “

And she is still going strong 6 months later!

I think Zeolite should be a part of every family’s armoury to meet the challenges of everyday living in the 21^st Century
