Well written article by Shelley Penney of Canada on her experiences with zeolite.
Radiation Protection and Zeolite
Can a little known porous crystal help you in a nuclear crisis?
A unique crystalline substance, pretty much unknown outside of scientific circles, and niche interest
groups, could see a gain in popularity as nuclear fall out or radiation sickness becomes a concern. This
substance, known as zeolite, has some unique properties that make it a viable aid in ridding the body of
radiation once exposed.
Zeolites are naturally formed volcanic minerals with some very unique characteristics. They have a
honeycomb-like framework of cavities and channels (often referred to as cages). The zeolite is one of
the few negatively charged minerals in nature. These molecules behave like magnets, drawing heavy
metals and radioactive particles to them, capturing them inside a molecular cage.
There are around 45 naturally occurring zeolites and over 100 man-made zeolites. There are three
different classes of zeolites with varying molecular chemical structures:
• Chain‐like structures whose minerals form acicular, or needle‐like, prismatic crystals ‐ as found
in asbestos.
• Framework structures where the crystals are more equal in dimensions ‐ as found in chabazite.
• Sheet‐like structures where the crystals are flattened ‐ as found in clinoptilolite.
Zeolites have been used in practice in many industrial applications in the past, and more recently as a
dietary supplement to to it’s extraordinary ability for trapping, heavy metals and toxins.
The actual Clinoptilolite Zeolite molecule is shaped like a honey-comb and carries a natural negative
(-) charge. When this type of Zeolite is ingested into the body all of the positively charged (+) heavy
metals, toxins, and harmful chemicals bond with the zeolite and are flushed out through the urine
within 6-8 hours.
How does this translate into something practicle when faced with a potential nuclear fallout?
The zeolite molecules, acting like a magnet with a negative charge, grab on to the radioactive particles
which have a positive charge. This means that if you have ingested or absorbed radioactive particles,
the zeolite can be ingested and potentially find and grab on to those particles and remove them safely
through excretion.
Has zeolite been used effectively? Absolutely, zeolite has been scattered on radioactive spills to aid in
clean up, and zeolite has been given to people orally to help internally. In fact, during the aftermath of
the most famous nuclear disaster of all time at Chernobyl, zeolite was given to children and adults who
had been exposed to radioactive particulate.
There are a number of zeolite products for ingestion available on the market in powder, capsule and
suspension form. Although I have my preference, and have the knowledge and resources to have
planned ahead, that may not be the case in crisis.
If you are reading this and you have time to plan, then do your research on liquid zeolite to make sure
you are getting the best product available. If you do not have any time, then scour natural food or
health stores, or head online to order any and as much zeolite dietary supplement as you can. Using
zeolite along with iodine could very well mean the difference between sickness and relative health, for
people who survive a nuclear accident.
