Zeolite find of the year:::I personally now use the Zeo Gold:::AWESOME product..

[Guest guest]

Everyone this is truly the FIND OF THE YEAR. This moves ZEO GOLD to the

front pages of any interested person looking for reasons to add Zeolite to

whatever treatments they are doing!

 

This fantastically well written review of Zeolite from Sloan Kettering has

all of the references fully linked so all you have to do is click on them.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

 

Zeolites have ion-exchanging and adsorption properties. Zeolite granules,

when used externally on wounds, can stop bleeding and promote clotting

through the absorption of water (2) (3). Zeolites are thought to adsorb

pathogenic microbials, glucose, and alcohol in the stomach and intestine and

have

been proposed for use in diarrhea (4), diabetes (5), and hangover (8) . Due

to their alkaline nature, zeolites have pH buffering effects. They can

adsorb nitrosamines in acidic solution (12) leading to claims that they can

also be used as anticancer treatment by removing carcinogenic substances in

the stomach. However, such effects have not been substantiated in humans. A

few in vitro studies indicate that micronized zeolite inhibited protein

kinase B; and induced expression of tumor suppressor proteins (9). In animal

studies, micronized zeolite product was shown to reduce metastasis and

increase the effect of doxorubicin due to its antioxidant property (13). It

also

increased peritoneal macrophages after intraperitoneal application and

stimulate graft-versus-host reaction (14). Precise mechanisms of action remain

largely unknown. Micronized zeolite can affect brain serotonergic receptors

activities of mammary carcinoma bearing mice (15). However, the clinical

implication of this effect in humans is unclear. Zeolite supplementation did

not prolong survival in tumor-bearing animals (16). Zeolites may have both

immunosuppressing and immunostimulating effects. In animal studies, they

caused decline of GM-CFU in the bone marrow (16) but increase

graft-versus-host (GvH) reaction (14). Zeolite products have other benefits

when used in

animal feed: they increase mineral utilization (17), reduce heavy metals

induced anemia (18) and reduce aflatoxin toxicity (19). None of these

benefits are applicable to humans.

 

PURPORTED USES

 

• Treatment of diarrhea

A drug containing zeolite was developed for diarrhea in Cuba

• Anticancer therapy

In vitro and animal studies suggest anticancer properties, but there is no

clinical data to validate use of Zeolites for cancer.

• Antioxidant

Animal studies showed that Zeolites may have antioxidant properties

• Immunoenhancer

Data from animal studies demonstrated that zeolites can both stimulate and

suppress the immune system
