"My teenage students often smeared liquid local clay from our workshop on their faces as a cure for acne. The treatment worked. A. We've never seen a scientifically solid study of clay for treating acne. But clearly, clay masks have been used as a complexion aid for centuries. We don't know if American teenagers would be willing to embrace such a treatment, but stranger things have become popular. • • • Clay is not the only traditional "poultice" that has been applied to blemishes." - Joe Graedon, M.S. and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., Best Choices From the People's Pharmacy (Get the book.)

"Often clay is used because it absorbs toxins in the intestine and "helps remove them from the body."359 Clay works like a magnet. Dr. Weston Price pointed out that primitive people in Central Africa and in Australia used clay as cleansing. Water has been used and was used in cleansing for centuries but only healthy spring water, since our tap water itself usually contains many toxins. A breakthrough detoxification program was put together by L. Ron Hubbard360 who developed the so-called Purification Rundown. ?Literally tens of thousands of success stories can be provided." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"After he had moulded the clay in human shape, he said to the clay, 'You must be people,' and then he covered it up and left it, and went away. The next morning he went to the place and took the covering off, and saw that the clay shapes had changed a little. The second morning there was still more change, and the third still more. The fourth morning he went to the place, took the covering off, looked at the images, and told them to rise and walk; and they did so. They walked to the river with their Maker, and then he told them that his name was Na'pi, Old Man." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"To increase the efficiency of these blends, betonite clay is sometimes added. The clay is not itself a laxative, but it has the unusual property of attracting and holding toxins, acids, and pathogens like the microforms that stagnate in the intestines. Laden with acids and microforms, the clay then leaves the intestines mixed into the stools. As betonite clay can sometimes have a dehydrating effect on the stools, it is good to drink a lot of liquids when using it." - Christopher Vasey, The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health: Restore Your Health by Creating pH Balance in Your Diet (Get the book.)

"GOOD TO TAKE: BENTONITE AND PSYLLIUM Bentonite is a natural clay that comes from volcanic ash. Taken internally, it supports the intestinal system in eliminating toxins. The clay releases ions (sodium, potassium, and magnesium) in exchange for the substances they absorb. Bentonite clay comes in liquid form or in a powder. Psyllium is a seed used for medicinal purposes. It is taken from the common fleawort plant, whose seeds and husks are harvested. Psyllium seeds are coated with mucilage that "bulks up" when exposed to water and stimulates the movement of material through the bowel." - Tom Woloshyn, The Complete Master Cleanse: A Step-by-Step Guide to Maximizing the Benefits of The Lemonade Diet (Get the book.)

"On the grounds of the Bright Spot for Health, a nutritionally oriented medical clinic in Wichita, Kansas, stressed staff members and patients can walk over to a specified area to throw and break"clay pigeons."These are the same hardened clay disks used in sport target shooting. Of course, shooting isn't allowed here, so people can take a few clay disks, throw them against a wall, and enjoy seeing them shatter. It works wonders." - Jack Challem, The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again (Get the book.)

"I don't buy wet clay; it can contain molds that may infect the skin. I mix a handful of clay powder with enough water to make a paste as thick as mayonnaise which I apply thinly but generously. As the clay slowly dries, it falls off, or it can be brushed off. Some women add a few drops of essential oil (see next page) or infused herbal oil (e.g., poke, calendula) to the clay. Here's a dramatic experience I had using clay poultices: One of my goats was due to give birth in a week when she came into her milk with a very swollen and lumpy udder." - Susun S. Weed, Breast Cancer? Breast Health! The Wise Woman Way (Get the book.)

"Plants and fruits, he said, are like "clay in the hands of the potter or color on the artist's canvas and can readily be molded into more beautiful forms and colors than any painter or sculptor can ever hope to bring forth." The condition of nature, he seemed to be saying, is absolutely unfinished. Fruits are continually evolving. Burbank anticipated Zaiger's efforts by breeding the Prunus salicina, a plum intended to be shipped cross-country. Zaiger got his start working with a former Burbank apprentice named Fred Anderson." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"The view from their kitchen window looked out across a jumbled plateau of red clay shingles to the sea. Francalacci popped a disk of Barbagia folk music in his player and the apartment filled with the nomadic, faraway sounds of Sardinia's highlands—shepherds' voices harmonizing to the multi-pipe instrument called launeddas. The musician plays it by producing a constant airflow by inhaling through his nose and exhaling out his mouth. Francalacci opened a bottle of Sardinian Cannonau red wine, and his animated conversation resumed." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"These include toluene and ethyl acetate. • clay, to suspend the ingredients and facilitate application. • Plasticizer, particularly dibutyl phthalate (DBP), to prevent chips and cracks. • UV stabilizer, to prevent fading from light, particularly sunlight. Artificial fingernails, also known as sculpted or acrylic nails, have also become increasingly popular. Before an artificial nail is applied, any old color on the natural nail is removed, and the natural nail is filed or sanded to create a rough surface." - Samuel S.

"Volcanic dust contains high levels of iridium and produces similar layers of clay. And there is geological evidence of an intense period of volcanic activity at about that time, which could well have thrown huge plumes of fiery ash and gases into the upper atmosphere. It is very possible that both these hypotheses are correct. The impact of a very large meteor could have smashed a hole through the earth's crust, triggering a series of massive volcanic eruptions. Or perhaps some other series of events was to blame." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "Combine this beautiful evolutionary development with an ability to reason and make choices, and you have a creature that can mold the clay of Mother Earth into a variety of tools. Tools themselves are not new in the natural world: apes, for example, will use stones as hammers, and so will some birds. Human beings, however, endowed both with remarkable hands and with flourishing minds, became the most proficient and prolific tool users on the planet. We moved from pots and hammers to boats, plows, wheels, mills, drills, engines, planes, computers, and robots." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "Our hands, which are among the most versatile organs Nature has evolved, have given us the ability to take the clay of Mother Earth and reshape it to our own ends. Combining these two evolutionary breakthroughs has made us the most creative species this planet has ever known. And the more we apply that creativity, the faster things change. The second part, "The Crisis," focuses on the less welcome consequences of humanity's rapid development, and the devastation we are bringing to the rest of the planet." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"These literal "blessings," or eulogia, were frequently no more than dust or red clay that had been touched by a holy ascetic.26 Others included magical amulets and rings (frequently carrying the image of the biblical King Solomon). Cold water, saint's relics, and magic amulets offered only the relief found in placebos, but—like placebos—they were also generally harmless. The same cannot be said of drugs that were known to the physicians of late antiquity, who spent much of their training in their use, though the training was not without its magical components." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.) "The great domes of Rome, including Nero's Golden House and the Pantheon of Hadrian are built of this remarkable substance, which is more elastic than clay when wet, and stronger than granite once it dries. The concrete domes of Rome would not be surpassed in size until the age of steel. By early 534, the piers were in place, the brick arches under construction, and the columns and cornices—huge slabs of marble, two feet by eighteen feet—which had been ordered from virtually every working marble and porphyry quarry in the empire, statted to arrive." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"His constant barrage of rhyming couplets and quatrains, seemingly so innocuous, were highly specific intentions in disguise: Archie Moore Is sure To hug the floor By the end of four Now clay swings with a right What a beautiful swing And the punch knocks the Bear Clear out of the ring. Before a fight, Ali repeated these little rhymes like a mantra—to the press, to his opponent, and even in the ring—until he himself accepted them as fact. When they met in Kinshasa, Foreman was seven years younger than Ali and among the most savage fighters in the ring." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Inscriptions found on clay tablets spoke of walnut groves in Mesopotamia as far back as 2000 B.C. The English walnut originated in India in areas that surrounded the Caspian Sea. In the fourth century a.d., the Romans introduced the walnut to Europe. The walnut made its Walnuts (Juglans) NIGHTY NIGHT! way to the United States by English merchant ships. The white and black walnuts are native to North America, mainly in the Appalachian and the Central Mississippi Valley area. Where Are Walnuts Grown?" - David W.

"Put very simply, it is this: In the past, clay litter was the accepted norm, but now the popular trend is a mixture of clay and sodium bentonite. This makes a more absorbent clay litter that causes the free-flowing mixture to form solid clumps when exposed to moisture. This absorbent property certainly makes the box easier to keep clean. The older plain clay litters were not as finely textured as this newer granular mixtures is, which left detectable urine odors and was harder to deal with. Consumers have really taken to the improved litter material, thereby greatly increasing its popularity." - Dr. John Heinerman, Natural Pet Cures: Dog & Cat Care the Natural Way (Get the book.)
