SUNSHINE ZEOLITE

Sunshine Zeolite is known as the purest form of Zeolite on Earth and is harvested from the site of an Ancient Australian Volcano, which was active over 305 million years ago. The ash was carried in the wind, dropping the heavier particles in its transit, leaving only the silicates to fall into a shallow inland lake. Over millions of years, the lake solidified with compacted zeolite and hardened into rock. Approximately 5 million years ago, a violent earthquake caused the now solidified zeolite rock to keel over and slide into an enormous cavity in the earth, leaving an edge exposed. This is the source of our precious Australian Sunshine Zeolite, which is crushed from rock into superfine powder. It is then sieved, with air separation as the final stage of the process to obtain a superfine powder, with an average particle size of 19 microns. The name zeolite originates from the Greek words ‘zeo’(to boil) and ‘litos’ (a stone). 

Sunshine Zeolite has a microporous open boxwork crystal structure that is occupied by cations and water molecules in the internal cavities. The ions and water molecules can move within these cavities allowing ionic exchange. Its three-dimensional microcrystalline structure is filled with channels and pores like honeycomb. This internal structure gives a large surface area for ionic bonding, making it more functionally superior than therapeutic clays

All the inorganic minerals, heavy metals, pathogens and other garbage that isn't supposed to be in the human body carry a positive charge. Zeolite has a negative electrostatic charge, and this allows it to attract and draw these positively charged dangerous and toxic substances into its honeycomb cagelike structure, where they can be safely carried from the body. 

Detoxification is usually one of the most expensive processes for the human body because all inorganic substances must be paired with an organic partner to be safely escorted from the system. If the body does not have an abundant supply of surplus vitamins and minerals, then it will steal from its reserves to do the 'pairing and escorting' process of detoxification. . This is the reason why people usually feel drained, tired and flu-ish during detox. The body considers hair and teeth as non-essential to survival, and so these are the things the body tends to let go of first when in a state of mineral deficiency. Because zeolite traps and binds these heavy metals, toxins, and inorganic minerals in its cage-like structure, it can bypass this expensive pairing and escorting process and remove them in an almost painless way, provided the protocol is followed properly. Once the toxins and especially the metals are removed, the body can properly uptake the nutrition you supply it from food and supplements

There is a lot of misinformation and disinformation about Zeolite, even amongst seasoned practitioners and doctors. The process of 'Chelation', from 'Chelos' the Greek word for claw, involves the incorporation of a mineral ion or cation into a complex ring structure by an organic molecule, the chelating agent. Chelation with Zeolite is a controversial subject with many schools of thought. After extensive research, personal experience and observation I have confidence that the protocol outlined here is the most effective and painless method of utilizing the Zeolite for the purposes of detoxification. The Zeolite structure cannot be broken down in the human body so it is not a nutritional supplement. Hair, skin and nails improve because the body can be properly nourished without these obstacles to its cellular processes

Heavy Metals- Heavy metals are toxic metals that accumulate in our bodies over time and put an enormous burden on our immune and nervous systems. These metals knock out the body's ability to uptake essential minerals, from food and supplements and cause enormous strain on the body with symptoms such as chronic fatigue, brain fog, irritability, and a host of other symptoms and serious conditions that can manifest e.g. Cancer, Alzheimer's, Diabetes. Once the heavy metal burden is lifted your body can start functionally at its peak potential again.

Environmental Toxins- In the 21st century we face an unprecedented number of toxic stressors in our daily lives. From the air you breathe to the food you eat - toxins are everywhere. Over time these toxins accumulate in the body wreaking havoc on the health.  Fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, a weakened immune system, and countless health issues are common effects of toxicity.

Mould/Mycotoxins- Mould toxicity is becoming increasingly recognized as a serious problem and a contributing factor in a number of serious chronic conditions. Even if you are not currently exposed to mould in your home or workplace, it is possible that mould from a previous exposure is multiplying in your body. Mould spores can linger and continue replicating in your body for years even in the absence of external mould exposure. Zeolite is a powerful detoxifier of mould and is essential in any mould detox protocol. With the recent floods in Australia, we highly recommend the use of Sunshine zeolite by those affected. Zeolite can be used to absorb mould from the environment and this will be explored further in our future blog posts 

Microbial Pathogens- Zeolite can bind to a number of pathogenic microbes including Candida and a host of viruses. Zeolite has antiviral properties due to its potential ability to absorb viral particles. A study conducted to evaluate the antiviral properties of clinoptilolite zeolite showed promise that zeolite can be used to inhibit viral replication. The study stated that the antiviral effect of the zeolite seems to be non-specific and is theorised this is more likely based on the incorporation of viral particles into pores of zeolite aggregates than ion-exchange properties of clinoptilolite. This means that zeolite may be effective against a whole host of viruses, not just the viruses used in the study. It is interesting to note that the low dose of zeolite in the study "induced a very low antiviral effect or the antiviral was not observed at all" but the high dose "induced a significant inhibitory effect upon viral proliferation." This supports my own experience and observation regarding dosage.

Zeolite is attracted to toxins, like a magnet, sucking them up into its structure. Zeolite does not cross the blood-brain barrier, that is a myth, but it can pull things through the membranes and into its cage. The key point here is that Zeolite is more attracted to certain toxic elements than others. For example, Zeolite has a higher affinity for lead than mercury. The Zeolite enters the body and binds to mercury. Then it continues through the system and finds something like lead. Zeolite is fickle and will just drop the mercury and bind to the lead because it is more attracted to the lead. If a high dose of zeolite was consumed then there is probably enough extra zeolite in the blood to pick up the dropped mercury. If a low dose was taken the mercury may be redistributed and result in a detox reaction. Note- this is one reason that staying on zeolite for an extended period of time may be important. It may take months before the zeolite really starts effectively detoxing mercury depending on how many other toxins are in your body that the Zeolite considers a priority.

DOSAGE

One level teaspoon of Sunshine Zeolite equals 2,500mg and a heaped teaspoon is approximately 5,000mg. The maximum and most recommended initial daily dose is 10,000mg per day, which is two heaped teaspoons. After several months of cleaning the body with zeolite, the dosage may be lowered.

Children have accumulated less garbage in their bodies, so they can take a half teaspoon twice a day, but the dosage requirement may differ in those children who have severe and chronic health conditions, especially those who are suffering from adverse vaccination effects

Some practitioners will advise putting the Zeolite powder into drinking water, but this seems to further exacerbate dehydration. Zeolite in water is great as a mouthwash, especially after smoking commercial cigarettes. 

The most effective method for delivering Sunshine Zeolite into the body is combining it with food. There are endless ways of achieving this, like mixing into soups, smoothies, juices and also food. Smashed avocado, egg dishes, e.g. omelette and scrambled egg, are easy ways to incorporate your Zealite dose. You can be as creative as you like when incorporating Sunshine Zeolite into your food. For convenience, Sunshine Zeolite may be taken in a small shot glass of almond mylk . We are currently putting Sunshine Zeolite into capsules to facilitate ease of dosing, as this is Lisa's preferred method of dosage

PRECAUTIONS

* As Zeolite is a binder, it can cause constipation if there is not high enough water consumption. People who drink Pure Distilled Water do not usually ever experience constipation, especially if they follow our guidance and drink at least three to five litres a day. Reverse Osmosis works along similar principles and is an acceptable substitute. It is MOST IMPORTANT  that you drink a high and consistent volume of pure water whilst using Sunshine Zeolite.

* Do not take iodine within 30 minutes, each side, of taking Zeolite

* Do not take Zeolite at the same time as any oil-based supplements like black seed oil, evening primrose oil, fish oil etc, as Zeolite absorbs oil

* Do not take Zeolite with probiotics as Zeolite is anti-microbial

* Do not take Zeolite if you are taking any medication containing heavy metals, such as lithium or platinum. After stopping treatment the Zeolite may be taken to clean up the heavy metals

* Do not take Zeolite whilst undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatments, but it can be taken before and after treatments

* Whilst detoxing, do not take lecithin or anything with large amounts of phosphorous as this may interfere with the mobilisation of metals. Wait a few hours before taking your Zeolite dose.
