Wellness and bentonite clay

Episode 55: In this episode, host Angie Gust talks about bentonite clay. Bentonite is a natural clay composed mainly of montmorillonite and other minerals like feldspar, calcite and quartz.  It has many therapeutic uses for the body, but let’s just focus this time on its detoxification abilities; it can absorb negatively charged toxins. In addition, it is a reliable treatment for metal poisoning, like lead.  Now turning to the environment.  Did you hear about President Biden announcing in September the creation of the Climate Corps?  It is exciting! It will put thousands of young people to work serving their communities and fighting the climate crisis. The work carried out by Biden’s new Climate Corps will decrease carbon emissions, enable a transition to renewable energy, build healthier and more resilient communities, and more. In the government description of the plan it says, it is a workforce training and service initiative that will ensure more young people have access to the skills-based training necessary for good-paying careers in the clean energy and climate resilience economy.
