- Since it makes some of us nervous to click a blind link, here's that web page:
1) Zeolite does have a good reputation but there are many other brands and sources.
It's best to see what brand or source the LLMDs who are expert in heavy metal detox recommend.
2) I would not buy THIS zeolite product because they do not have a list of ingredients. They just refer to "all of the ingredients . . . " in plural. I want to know WAY more about each ingredient in everything, including the source and methods of manufacture.
I looked all over their website and I see no way to find a list of ingredients.
3) Who can read the FAQ page? It's absolutely unreadable.
They've not thought about the customer base. Even if enlarged (which is easily done on any computer), the light lavender color washes out, the chosen font squiggles and the closeness of the italic type is horrible for anyone's eyes to decipher.
That does not speak well of their professionalism and communication skills - so where else are they dropping the ball, I am bound to ask.
4) A heavy metal detox plan for a lyme patient needs to be directed by a LLMD or LL ND who is also experienced in heavy metal detox. This is vital. -

- Oh . . . I see they do list ingredients but it's not titled correctly.
The link is "Supplemental Facts" which I thought were, well, supplemental facts, not supplement ingredients. Again, it may be petty but the words supplement and supplemental are not interchangeable. If I take something, I'd like those who manufacture it to know what words mean.
Other ingredients: Gelatin, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide.
I prefer a different form of B-12 that is more bio-available - -and I don't like to take calcium carbonate as it's not well absorbed form of calcium and can lead to kidney stones. I don't know if that's the form required for zeolite but it's worth some research as why take a form of calcium that is inferior?
If calcium carbonate is required for some reason, they should explain.
Magnesium stearate is also best avoided and I really hate to mention it but, as gelatin is usually from animal hooves and bones, I'd feel better knowing if they were organically raised on open range, otherwise there could be chemical by-products to consider.
Is gelatin really necessary? Is is just a cheap filler? Or for the capsule? If for the capsule, they could have used vegetarian based materials (veggie-caps) rather than animal gelatin.
I have these kinds of questions with every product I take. I'd also want to know the volcanic region where the zeolite was obtained and what happened to it along the way. It's important to me to know that. -

I have been looking into other sources of this MicroSilica. If anyone has any alternatives with full disclosure of ingredients, please share.
I found one Micro Silica (89% pure) being sold on ebay and I have asked the seller for a list of ingredients. Here is the link to the auction: http://bit.ly/dNjDPC
Micronized chlorella bit.ly/djVOme is what they use in Europe... it is outlawed by the FDA in the US and won't make it past customs.
Right now, I am using chlorella (pills), chlorella & cilantro (liquid) and a liquid bentonite clay.
Make sure to take binders away from mineral supplements. Mineral supplements in the morning, binders at night.
And Keebler's advice on finding a LLMD or LLND who is experienced in heavy metal detox -- LISTEN. My LLMD is on board... checking blood levels bi-weekly.
She does not have experience in HPU and in NY she can't do hair analysis or spectra-cell labs. We have appointments with 2 other docs in an attempt to find one to supervise & make sure we don't screw things up worse than they are.

WARNING: Any heavy metal program should be done under the close supervision of a medical professional. There is a risk of making things worse when one attempts to address the heavy metal issue. . . . .
. . . My Favorite Heavy Metal Detox Products . . . .
1) ACZ nano is a zeolite-based spray . . . .
8) NutraMedix has products, Zeolite and Zeolite HP . . . .
- Be sure to study the entire article. It is full of key details. Dr. K's protocol is also linked here. All this will help you best evaluate which LLMD or LL ND you find to work with you. -

That second microsilica product looks like diatomaceous earth. Not sure if that is the same thing Klinghardt is selling. You can also get it much cheaper elsewhere.

Thanks for the info EDS...
I found this on a forum about diatomaceous earth microsilica:
DE is 2.5% ALUMINIUM; NOT GOOD!
I knew it had to be too good to be true! Cheaper is not always better!

The jury is still out. That forum I found that on may have been right or wrong... I don't know.
I was chatting with someone on facebook that raves diatomaceous earth...

We have used Zeolite HP for years. And I liked it a lot. I used it whenever I tested energetically for it.
It takes more than one agent, however, to detox heavy metals. A lot depends on where the metals are stored and what method works best to mobilize them.
Don't attempt metal detox on your own. It is not a do-it-yourself treatment. And most of all, before you attempt it, make sure you do not fall into the KPU category and get tested to see if you are allergic to heavy metals -- the body cannot release them if you are -- the immun system has forgotten how to do it.
