Neal Bosshardt: Clay Does WHAT! - A Powerful Detoxifier, Painkiller, Microbe Muncher, Gut Healer, and Mineral Replenisher
Episode 60
What if a jar of clay could keep you out of the doctor's office by changing how you handle burns, bites, gut upsets, or stubborn wounds? I brought in Neal Bosshardt, who has spent 50 years teaching and using natural bentonite clay, to share a straight‑shooting playbook: when clay shines, when to be cautious, and the exact methods that make the difference.
We start with the fundamentals—why negatively charged, mineral‑rich clays can adsorb toxins, help control microbes, ease pain, and support a healthier pH. From there, we walk through external protocols that deliver outsized results: cooling fresh burns with a moist gel under plastic, drying infection with thick poultices wrapped in breathable fabric, and changing dressings to both draw out waste and keep wounds moist. You’ll hear vivid recoveries: a brown recluse bite turning the corner in days, a pinned ankle spared from amputation, and a deep gash closing cleanly without surgical closure. We also touch on menstrual pain relief, cracked ribs, and tooth flares that responded to targeted poultices.
Detox strategies come next. Clay baths and hot foot soaks help offload what the body wants gone—so effectively that used soak water can harm houseplants, a surprising sign that the process is real. Internal use is intentionally simple: one teaspoon in water, mixed the easy way by letting clay hydrate before stirring. You’ll learn when to drink the clear supernatant versus the full mix, how to approach food poisoning and nausea, and how to avoid self‑inflicted constipation. We also cover how clay may interact with medications like blood thinners and thyroid meds.
This conversation is about practical, affordable care that respects biology. Keep a ready‑to‑use jar of clay in the kitchen. Know the difference between moist and drying applications. Use foot soaks when energy and elimination lag. And if you’re on essential medication, time things wisely. Want Neal’s guide?
