Hi, Amarie,
I just read at Eyton's Earth that clay baths, etc., help draw the metals out. Which is all fine and good, until you realize that a person MUST chelate very carefully...slowly.
That stuff is so poisonous that it is possible to overwhelm the body's ability to cope with it.
That website says that the individual who tries clay chelation must take responsibility for themselves, and any reactions they have.
That is the same for all 'natural' treatments, of course.
Eyton's Earth also goes on to say that all the 'science' isn't yet in, on their clays.
I prefer to take 1% solution baths in whole, unpolluted, crystal mineral salts (from
http://www.heartfeltliving.com ), first.
I have only taken one, so far, but the peacefulness I felt was so reassuring that I know I will have one, say, every three weeks, just as soon as I figure out how to get out of the bathtub afterwards.
(My core muscles are getting stronger from working out of doors several times per week.)
Humaworm is so gentle that one wonders if it is working, I know.
Perhaps if you wait six or seven months you will know all the good Humaworm is doing for you. That seems like a long time to you at this point, but time will fly, and I'd love to hear you post then!
You'll see.
Do whatever 'natural' thing you need to do to keep your bowels regularly moving, in the meantime.
Also, your skin is the largest organ of elimination of the four we have...skin, bowels, kidneys, and lungs.
The skin eliminates more than the other three combined, and keeps us in 'balance' all the while.
Every drop of water on skin, dishwater included, removes excesses, and adds to our stores of mineral salts, exactly the best way our bodies can manage.
Wash dishes with gloves on. And bless and thank every drop of water that touches you...even the vapor in the air, and rainwater, and snow, just in case that helps.
Masaru Emoto is proving that words affect water.
I eat a LITTLE more of foods that chelate, and a little less of foods that don't.
See what 7 months of all this does to you.
I think you'll be happily surprised.
My best,
Fledgling
