Does Zeolite Help Detox Radiation?

Category Zeolite and Radiation

Zeolites and Radiation

The larger and long-term concerns relate to the other radioactive elements including Cesium (Cs), Strontium (Sr), Uranium (U) and Plutonium (Pu). Unlike radioactive iodine-131, which breaks down quickly, these heavy metals linger in the body, damaging DNA for decades.

What natural mineral have nuclear scientists turned to during past nuclear disasters, including Three Mile Island and Chernobyl? A natural mineral zeolite called Clinoptilolite.

Clinoptilolite was used to clean up water surrounding Three Mile Island.

At the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl:

Over 500,000 tons of zeolite was dropped into the reactor to absorb radioactive metals

Cattle were fed zeolite to help keep radioactive ions out of milk

Zeolite “cookies” were baked for children to help reduce radioactive absorption

When soil contaminated with Cesium and Strontium was treated with zeolite, plants growing in that soil resulted in NO uptake of Cesium or Strontium 

These facts and more were presented in a paper at the 1998 National Academy of Sciences titled “La Roca Magica: Uses of Natural Zeolites in Agriculture and Industry.” Click here to see the full paper, and go to the section titled Nuclear Waste and Fallout.

The Clinoptilolite zeolite referenced in the paper is raw zeolite, which means it was not “cleaned” of toxins present in its cage-like structures, reducing absorption capacity.

The Clinoptilolite zeolite in  has undergone a proprietary process, micronized (reduced in size) to get into the bloodstream, and activated so that its cages are “cleaned” for maximum absorption of heavy metals and toxins.

Zeolite was used after the Chernobyl disaster – a huge amount (500,000 tons) of powdered zeolite was used in and around the Chernobyl reactors. It was used to decontaminate the reactors, people and the soil; reducing radiation as much as 95%. The majority of the zeolite was used for the construction of protective barriers and for agricultural applications in polluted areas. Children were fed cookies and biscuits laden with zeolite to help remove radiation from their bodies while dairy cows were also fed zeolite to remove radiation from their milk.

Zeolite is also used to detoxify contaminated lobster beds along the Atlantic seaboard and in cattle, swine, chicken and egg production where it significantly improves the health of the animals and eggs. It is also used in agriculture to prevent arsenic uptake by plants and sustained release of nitrogen and trace elements. Government studies show from 40% to 200% increase in farming yields when zeolite is used in fertilizer.
