Guest guest Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hi Skye, I think...but this is mostly opinion.....that hematite tumbles...as you mentioned....should not be a big issue. But I am sure there are no studies done on how long you can keep it in your mouth and even vibrationally what is the saturation point....all places crystal healing will venture in the future. But we cook with iron castware.....and so in that regard we do absorb iron from non-food sources.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Aloha Dawn, Vicky and All. . . Vicky has said that a Hematitie 'crystal' was used and I was responding based on that. Perhaps holding a piece of tumbles Hematite near affected area outside of mouth would be helpful, but abcess issue would still need to be addressed. Hematite, pyrite and most minerals that include those two aid in drawing toxins out of body and because of their strength cause a reaction and sense of relief that can be easily felt. When I sent the post I didn't delete part where someone stated that Quartz should not be used unless timbled. That is NOT true and a discussion followed that was posted a few months ago. All stones should be used with discretion. Stones listed as toxic will probably not cause harm when used topically a few times, but long term use may cause harm. Ingestion as an elixir or otherwise and respect for what guidance has already been given is always advised. Re Charlene's ??? although not on the list, I would include Turquoise in the 'green' copper family and use with same advisements. As to iron cookwear, it is usually 'seasoned' by coating it with oil and baking it before first use and kept that way for it's lifetime of use. Over consumption or absorptiion through skin of iron can actually cause anemia. Many stll use aluminum cookware and although it is considered less dangerous than the form of aluminum used in anti-perspirants it is advised by health care experts to not be used. Formulas for elixirs always recommend using glass or ceramic bowl AND utensils as interaction of metal and minerals effects quality of elixir. Elixirs when prepared in safe manner are wonderful in that they share the energetic properties of stones without requiring ingestion of actual minerals. Minerals and metals are seen by body as inorganic and are not absorbed by body but stored in bones and fatty tissue. Everyones favorite baby oil is mostly petrolatum and not absorbed by body and considered a major cause of allergies. Talc is a mineral and found in baby powder and after bath dusting powder and considered a major cause of asthma and possibly breast cancer. The body has a system that 'rubber stamps' incoming allergins, things not recognized by body a useable. Once it passes the max that it can handle everything recognized as inorganc causes an allergic reaction, which is why removing those toxins or allergins allows body to more easily return to better health. Some great sites with up to date research backed health date are: www.mercola.com Up to date info on vitamins, vaccines, offers non-toxic cookware www.therealfoodchannel.com Great videos on sugar, dairy, schools lunches and other health concerns. Go to list of videos to see all selections. www.foodandwaterwatch.org Great safe/notsafe fish guide and printout.
