Zeolite Activation – What’s All The Fuss?

By John Gaydon

Readers of this article will be well aware of the buzz about liquid zeolite. Since it appeared on the scene in 2005, there has been a wave of amazing cellular zeolite stories published on the net and even in a book driven by people with great results. As http://www.zeolitereview.org evolves, you are going to see many personal stories posted. These are from real people with real results, and we are very careful who we allow to post.

The Activation Process

I have been very concerned at some of the misleading copy contained in websites promoting Zeolite products. On the surface, there are some real bargains out there. One product sells on Ebay for as little as $5 a 30 ml bottle, and another costs $54.95 for a quart ( that’s 946 mls or less than $2 for a 30 ml bottle). Even a brand with Zeolite in it costs around $20US for a 50 m bottle. With these crazy prices, many assert that the original Zeolite is an overpriced ripoff! Nothing could be further from the truth.

Activation Is Important

There are two types of liquid zeolite, those which are activated and those which aren’t! There, I’ve said it. Zeolite is a mineral formed after volcanic lava cools. Clinoptilollite is the only form of Zeolite credited with being harmless to humans, providing it is reduced to a small particle size. You can purchase fine powdered zeolite for less than $5.50 per 30 ml, so why buy a liquid? This article will answer that question. With the powder you get 100% Zeolite, thousands of times the amount in a bottle of liquid Zeolite.

As can be seen from the diagram, Zeolite forms a honeycomb shape and has a hollow inside where toxins and other particles can be safely stored. The volume of toxins absorbed by the Zeolite molecules is totally dependent on what is in the cage when you ingest it! If there is no room in the garbage (trash) bin, you can’t stuff any more into it no matter how hard you try, although even with a full bin, you can usually get some more rubbish in it. The same applies to raw Zeolite. This is what is in most Zeolite products, although some show no detectable Zeolite level at all!

So what is in the Zeolite when it is mined – Heavy Metals and other toxins! A sample of Zeolite tested by independent laboratory, Eno Laboratories demonstrated powdered zeolite as having over 6.5 times the amount of material in the Zeolite “cage” as the activated form. This included Arsenic, Barium, Cadmium, Copper, Mercury, Nickel, Lead and tin. The levels in the Activated Liquid Zeolite sample of these toxins was negligible. That means that Activated Liquid Zeolite will absorb many times as many toxins in transit. This is the breakthrough that Liquid Zeolite promises!

How Is Zeolite Activated?

Activation simply is removing excess toxins from the Zeolite cage. This is a complicated, proprietary process done at low temperatures and takes several days to achieve. It is the subject of a US patent owned by Lifelink Pharmaceuticals and exclusively licensed to NDA Consulting. There is a mild acid akin to lemon juice used in the process, not the harsh substance many claim in their fancy sales copy. The process is complicated and therefore expensive. You have to understand that we are talking about tiny particles a small as 0.41 microns here and that Zeolites have a very strong attraction to toxins and don’t release them easily!

Naturally, life evolves and there have been enhancements to this process. More recently, Calcium and Magnesium (two essential nutrients most people don’t have enough of) are added in the activation process, and these exchange with toxins in the body.

If you can understand the magnitude of this, we are talking about a supersopper used to soak up water from a football field compared with a wet sponge with water dripping off it. Which do you think will absorb more?

Are Other Products Activated?

So far, we have found none! It is simply too hard and too expensive, so they don’t bother. They are not going to go through years of research testing to find the keys to removing toxins. This is especially so when you can take some powder, grind it up to a small particle size, suspend it in some form of liquid, and sell it as the “best Zeolite Available”, the claim most of these products make. You might as well purchase a bottle of distilled water. You can purchase a gallon for $4, that’s around 4c for 30 mls, much cheaper and just as effective! Purchasing a cheap Zeolite product just may be the most expensive purchase you ever make! Most sites claim their Zeolite comes from a “pristine” source. Some claim that masking it in humic acid somehow activates it. These days there are dozens of products on the market. All but the original activated liquid zeolite are simply ground up powder suspended in liquid, except for those that contain no zeolite at all, or a synthetic version.

Conclusion

Activated Liquid Zeolite has proven Science, thousands of success stories, and is light years ahead of other Zeolite products in its ability to remove toxins from the body. The proprietary, exclusive activation process is a major reason for this. The popularity of this product has led many other companies to make look alike products. If you carefully read their dazzling sales messages you will see they are not activated and simply take cheap shots at the original liquid zeolite. We stand by this product as the only Liquid Zeolite you should use.
