How to Use Healing Clay for Breast Cancer

By Sue K

It is estimated that breast cancer will cause 40,170 deaths in 2009 in the United States alone. Because of these high rates, women often use various allopathic and alternative therapies both to prevent and help cure breast cancer. One of the alternative methods is clay healing. Clay has been long been used to mitigate and cure disease, as it removes toxins from the skin. Calcium bentonite clay---or volcanic ash---is particularly useful because it can be both ingested and applied externally. It contains negatively charged ions, and neutralizes the positively charged ions of toxins, bacteria, radiation and other harmful chemicals. Calcium bentonite clay is almost always sold in powder form.

Ask for your doctor's advice if you are planning to drink or ingest clay, and check with your dermatologist before getting a facial or body mask or a clay bath. Also, if you have breast cancer, ask your oncologist if he recommends clay therapy for you.

Step 1
First, apply a facial mixture. Using a glass, wooden or clay bowl, mix equal parts of the bentonite clay and distilled or plain water until the mixture turns into a smooth paste. Let it stand for a few minutes and apply a thick layer to your face, then wait five to 20 minutes until the mask dries. Wash the clay off your face with warm water.

Avoid putting the clay on sensitive areas of your head and face, including the eyes, mouth, nostrils and inner ears.

Step 2
Apply a full body mask, dabbing the clay about 1 inch thick all over your body, with the exception of the genital area, as well as any areas with open wounds. After the clay dries, scrub the clay from your body in the shower or bathtub.

Step 3
Take clay baths once or twice each week. To prepare your clay bath, scatter at least 2 cups of bentonite clay powder evenly into running water, filling the bathtub. Soak in the tub for 15 to 20 minutes in very hot water. Make sure all parts of your body---except your face and the sensitive areas discussed above---are exposed to the bath water.

The more clay you use, the more potent it is. After taking a total of five to six baths within five to 10 weeks, take a clay bath only twice a year.

Step 4
Drink a bentonite clay solution. Take it on an empty stomach at least one hour before or after your meal or right before you sleep at night. Start with a daily dose of 1 tbsp. of the powder mixed with 8 tbsp. of juice. If there are noticeable positive results, such as an increase in vitality, gradually increase the dosage up to a maximum of 4 tbsp. of clay daily, sipped in separate doses.

Step 5
Eat bentonite clay mixed with water. Clay that is optimal for ingesting should appear very smooth and creamy and is tasteless. The recommended dosage is 1 to 2 tbsp. daily, taken before a meal. Wait one to three hours before eating clay if you have just taken medication or vitamins.
