This is from my book, Judas Dentistry, available for free download here: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/5ercuvl94y, where you can find the references for the citations below. It is also for purchase on Amazon. The backgrounds of the people below are clarified in the book.
Zeolites are synthetic microporous structures that are available on Amazon. Terri Franklin, her co-author, some IAOMT dentists, and many other sources recommend these. Kerri Rivera, a world expert on the detoxification of autistic children, says that zeolite works if you use the right brand (Chapter 15).
However, Becky Dutton, who has observed hundreds of patients in mercury detox over many years, says that zeolite is not a good chelator and cites this REFERENCE. I could only find it on the Wayback Machine, so it was suppressed. It quotes recognized expert Boyd Haley, professor of chemistry at the University of Kentucky. He writes that zeolite redistributes rather than removes mercury:
[Zeolite] does not significantly remove mercury from an aqueous solution. … it seems very unlikely that [this] water-insoluble material would have any direct effect on removing mercury from cells, mitochondria, or the brain… How exactly will a non-water soluble material like zeolite cause urinary mercury excretion, as shown in previous studies? If the negative charges on the insoluble zeolite really did bind mercury, it should take it out via the fecal route. … this looks very much like many previous “miracle mercury cures” that just takes a lot of money from the unsuspecting parents looking for any help for their child… but this data was never published in a decent journal…
Zeolites contain high levels of aluminum. Although the zeolite salespeople talk about how the aluminum in their product is “caged”, hair tests done by parents found that aluminum levels spiked.
Zeolites at the stomach pH release aluminum into your body. HERE is an evidence based writeup by Dennis Crouse.
Dutton also privately surveyed six experts in preparation for this book. All had doubts about zeolite. Chris Exley, the “Aluminum Man,” wrote to her: “I would never take [a zeolite]; they have neither been shown to be effective for aluminium in a clinical trial nor indeed to be safe for human consumption. My advice is to avoid.”
The sales pitch is that you can buy this product and do it yourself. Since there are pitfalls, an experienced expert should help with any detox process. Many of them recommend safer and more effective methods than zeolite.
Theodore Sturgeon famously said, “Ninety percent of everything is crap.” This was from the 1950s, and things are far worse today. Controversy is a sign that something stinks, so I am skeptical of commercial products like these.
Thanks for mentioning Jeff Hoyt. I use his ZeoCharge with my patients. I respectfully disagree with Becky that zeolights are contaminated, and so on. Do the homework, as not all are.
Dr. Chris Exley, the “Aluminum Man" has a substack. Do a search for zeolite or clinoptilolite there and nothing, nada, zilch comes up. You would think the “Aluminum Man" would perhaps advise his 10,000 subscribers to avoid it, like he supposedly did with Dutton. Don't you think?
Utter garbage post. Zeolite is a natural mineral abundantly found in nature. They do produce a synthetic version in a lab, not considered suitable for ingestion. Mainly for industrial use.
Until Andy Kaufmann concedes that he just might be wrong about pathogenic microbes and contagion, his credibility is low for me. However, I didn't notice that the video was his and on the strength of the first several paragraphs of this article I obtained some zeolite powder from Heiltropfen and took my first dose just now. So I'm going against Robert Yoho on this one but I'm probably going to go with him on vitamin D* (and against “Unbekoming”, whose article on it struck me as unbecoming—sensationalist and repetitive, like a hit piece).
I agree with Yoho on D3. It's just his post here that sucks. Using unverified 3rd person claims as substantiated evidence. It's garbage as I have shown.
If you do take generous amounts of D3, heed Yoho's warning... "Without adequate K2, high-dose Vitamin D3 can cause hypercalcemia, a significant hazard."
I had blood levels above 100 ng/ml taking 25,000 IU's daily. But I saw no noticeable benefits for my comorbidities. Results vary from person to person, so I dropped my blood levels back down to the 50 to 60 range. Just FYI... https://ohbaby.substack.com/p/what-you-thought-you-knew-of-d3-hardly
This is the only article I’ve seen on Unbekoming that is promoting something being sold (with the information appearing to come from the seller), which I find concerning.
I have nothing but trust and respect for Kaufman. If he makes a buck from selling Zeolite and this post to keep his head above water, more power to him.
This could have been an excellent article. Unfortunately, there are absolutely no references. Why?
Most of what you covered, I agree with and is backed by studies. But where are they? If we have learned anything the past 5 years, is that we need to see the evidence for ourselves. You can't take anyone's word... https://ohbaby.substack.com/i/149045789/detoxing
That is why you should read more research, both pros and cons, and decide for yourself whether or not to try something. Never base your views or opinions on article, one research, or someone's else's beliefs. Critical thinking is necessary to make an informed choice, no.matter what that choice is.
Consider the source... Medicine Girl thanks Agent131711 for his help with the article in her opening sentence. And if your not familiar with his work this will shed some light.... https://substack.com/@ohbaby/note/c-86289677
I couldn't be more confused as a baby truther. I just read medicine girls substack post on zeolite declaring it to be an evil catch all /kill all substance leaching essential minerals from our bodies. What am I to believe!? Arghhhh
Look, I don't know MG, but it is obvious Agent131711 has influenced her article. This is the guy painting D3 as rat poison, and Ivermectin as a fertility toxin.
Are you not aware that in the ph of the human stomach, zeolites release aluminium into the body. Dude, you really should study something fully before recommending it, otherwise you could damage people’s health. Especially if they have an mthfr variant. They are the most susceptible. Zeolite is a very poor choice for detoxification and there is a subgroup of the population where detoxification can be very harmful. In sensitive patients, Detoxification without removing every foreign object from the body(dental fillings, root canals, orthopaedic implants, surgical clips etc) rips more and more toxic ions from the foreign object, distributing them around the body. So it exposes them to more and more toxins in a never ending detox. A detox impossible to finish. One with no end, and one that makes the body more toxic. There are many who have been permanently harmed by not removing foreign objects prior to detoxification protocols. Even brushing teeth with organic aluminium free baking soda can cause permanent harm to sensitive individuals who still have permanent sources of toxins in them, like amalgam fillings or bone cement or fragments of titanium alloy. Encouraging people to detox without tailoring it to the individual is a very harmful thing to do indeed. Suggesting products that release aluminium into the body once in the ph of the human stomach is also not very good advice. Detoxification is not something harmless which is ok for everyone. In someone with a mthfr variant who still has foreign objects in the body, it can be a very dangerous thing indeed.
No it’s not actually and for some it’s dangerous. I had anaphylactic shock after I tried it. It was a biochemist who discovered that in the ph of the human stomach, it releases aluminium.
I tried zeolite for 6 months but didn't see any benefit. For mercury detox (I had LOTS of mercury fillings), I tried selenomethionine/selenium (Brazil nuts) and NAC and had noticeable improvement i.e. less brain fog after several months. If you try this, you should take the selenium all at one time and the NAC can be taken throughout the day. It's also likely the NAC isn't strictly necessary.
Very interesting and enlightening. The ‘stack’ will join my many other saved articles with the other Doctors & researchers . The invaluable research and journalism is now getting to the point where I am now searching for some solid information on how to balance & consume all these minerals and re purposed drugs. DMSO, Hydrogen Peroxide, Chlorine Dioxide, Baking Soda and Magnesium etc. etc being but a few of the most common.
Zeolite is also beneficial for removing Morgellon's from inside the body. Use it in a bath and watch the Morgellons flee out of the body. Morgellons are in geo-engineering otherwise known as chemtrails. eBay sells Zeolite.
I used to think synthetically produced clinoptilite (TRS) seemed a helpful detox tool. Scott Marsland, NP who works with Dr. Pierre Kory, seems to draw a connection with it causing microclotting. I also read it can contribute to aluminum in the body.
Before going online and ordering the cheapest, biggest bag of zeolite from Amazon or Temu, I messaged my primary care physician and she replied:
'...t9he dosage the article recommends has never been studied (the studies have never studied more than 3g, 3 times a day, versus the 5 g up to every hour that the article recommends). There is also a high risk the zeolite could cause excessive aluminum in the body which is deadly. This can even happen with the more expensive products...'
So I am holding off, right now. Also concerned about my acid reflux and potential interactions with the many supplements I am already taking, like magnesium, boron, and manganese (which blasted calcium plaque from arteries in a mouse study.)
I think you're right and I should have questioned the safety claims. No one's right 100 % of the time. Unbekoming has a pretty good track record but maybe not on this one.
Unbecoming mentioned the 5 grams every hour only for acute conditions, not general detoxing, so I wouldn't hold that against him.
I'm much more upset with him for not providing references. While I can confirm most of what's written, can be found in the scientific literature, it is inexcusable he did not back up anything he said. If we have learned anything the last few years, it's that no one's word can be trusted. And that we need to see the evidence for ourselves. This could have been a great article, had he supplied the references.

Agreed. If this were true, you would see links to the studies proving this crap.

No I don’t need to provide links. You need to ensure that a product is safe before you take it.
Yeah well, I think my reply to you clearly proved ZC is completely safe, and that you are spreading disinformation.
No it’s not actually and for some it’s dangerous. I had anaphylactic shock after I tried it. It was a biochemist who discovered that in the ph of the human stomach, it releases aluminium.
All crap that can't be verified as harmful,
You do what you like. I just thought you should be warned.
I looked into zeolite a year ago. (To mitigate a mRNA vax injury.)
Cilantro as well. 👍👍👍
Wondering whether anyone has looked into this Canadian zeolite which is sold to farmers.
https://albertazeolite.ca/collections/livestock
https://albertazeolite.ca/products/clinoptilolite-zeolite
Would this product would be OK for human use?
This type of "wellness" product is unaffordable, at least for me:
https://well.ca/products/ecoideas-pma-zeolite_319268.html
https://www.amazon.ca/Capsules-Clinoptilolite-Activated-Less-Than-Heiltropfen%C2%AE/dp/B0F4PRM8JB
Great question! Unaffordable for most of us. BTW, I love cilantro. For now I just use Fiji water from Hawaii. (they say, who knows huh)
How can Fiji water be from Hawaii…? Two different places in the world. 🤔
I know this. I just stated it says it is from volcanos in Hawaii. Duh....
Well, both places are at least in the Pacific region:).
I heard it's good as well but a litre costs 4x as much as a litre of gas, in Canada. And that's in Walmart.
https://www.walmart.ca/en/c/brand/fiji-water
In other supermarkets: Fuhhgeddaboudid.
So, looking for a safe source of zeolite. That Alberta Canada company SEEMS to be a possibility. (I'm next door in BC.)
Yeah, read Dr Yoho comment.
Will do thanks.
