Health Benefits of Zeolite

Norma Chew
Introduction

Zeolite means "burning stone." Alex Fredrick Cronstedt coined the word in 1756 when he saw the material stilbite producing steam when rapidly heated due to the water it had absorbed. This microporous, aluminosilicate mineral is used in water purification; in nuclear reprocessing; as a catalyst; in producing laundry detergent products; in agriculture; and in medicine. Zeolite has a variety of health benefits. It should be taken with the advice and supervision of your health-care practitioner.

Removes Harmful Substances From the Body

Zeolite selectively draws out harmful substances from your body. According to Content4Reprint.com, zeolite removes heavy metals such as, lead, aluminum, excess iron, tin and mercury from the body; it also targets and removes radioactivesubstances suchas cesium and Strontium-90. Zeolite decreases toxic load to the liver and increases liver induced glucuronidation; a detoxification pathway occurring in the liver. The removal process starts immediately and takes about four to six weeks to complete. Removing these substances promotes proper body functions.

Improves The Immune System

A healthy immune system will function at its maximum; protect you from the ravages of free radicals, and wards off cold, flu and other illnesses. Zeolite enhances the function of the immune system by removing bacteria, viruses, fungi, toxins and other harmful substances. This helps to increase energy, improve proper body functions and promote a feeling of well-being. Zeolite helps to regulate a slightly alkaline pH level in the body, of 7.35 to 7.45; this optimizes the function of the immune system

Stabilizes Blood Sugar Level

Diabetes is a disease that comes with serious complications, such as high blood pressure, kidney and heart disease and peripheral vascular problems. Keeping blood sugar levels within normal limits is a key factor in preventing these complications. Zeolite stabilizes blood sugar levels. It buffers and eliminates the excess glucose from the blood with its negative charge helping to reduce hyperglycemia or increased blood sugar levels. Zeolite also reduces nitrates usually found in processed meats. Nitrates are linked to Type 2 diabetes.

Prevents Premature Aging

Zeolite helps to combat premature aging by removing toxins, heavy metals, free radicals and other harmful substances from the body. The body is then able to function at its optimum level. The elimination systems of the body, including the skin, lungs, urinary system and colon can then work

together in eliminating the natural waste products of the body; delaying the aging process, according to Content4Reprint.com.
