<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I noticed the following lines in the bentonite summary: >". . . kills insects and some parasites because its particles are so >small and SHARP. This is the reason some take it as a supplement: >to get rid of parasites. . . " I personally have never heard this about bentonite clay. This sounds more like a description of Diatomaceous Earth, which is the remains of diatoms, one-celled creatures that live in the ocean. DE is used in farming (mixed with grain in silos, it's a non-toxic insecticide), and is also used to worm animals (when given to cows their milk can still be used during the treatment, unlike chemical wormers). Similarly, it can be used for flea control in one's carpets. Maybe that's what the writer was thinking of? Just wanted to mention this in case anyone was about to try and treat their parasites with bentonite. :-) Jenn [log in to unmask] Seattle, WA USA
