Our bodies evolved to flourish within the conditions found in nature. Some scientists say that the human body is well-equipped to deal with any harmful or unneeded chemicals that get into our system. This was undoubtedly true in the conditions that existed before the Industrial Revolution. Some continue to say that we do not need to do anything to help the body deal with the toxins that have proliferated in modern society.
Zeolite has been used by humans (as well as in farming and industry) for many years. Until about 10 years ago, it was taken in powder form. The mineral is found naturally and is mined and then processed to a form suitable for use by humans. The mineral is ground into a powder and traditionally has been taken in this form as a mineral supplement.
Zeolites are naturally occurring crystalline minerals that were formed over millions of years by the process of volcanic ash being crystallized after submerging in the sea or in fresh water lakes. These mineral compounds, which are mined in numerous places around the world, have been commonly used in traditional Asian remedies for over a thousand years.
In modern times zeolites are used as food additives, to purify water, and by in various industrial processes including the pharmaceutical sector. Zeolites were used extensively to clean up radiation after the Chernobylnuclear power station disaster.
