Bentonite Clay and its spiritual properties: Intestinal cleanse of the colon is strongly recommended by Kalki and The Golden Age Foundation in order to be fully receptive for pranic energy. It is so vital that it should be the mandatory preparation before all deeper spiritual processes and as a continous maintenance of the body as an antenna of cosmic energies. Bentonite (also available at many pharmacies under alternative substance names to bentonite: bentonitum, montmorillonite) is believed to have exceptionally properties. This article from www.alternativemedicine.com desribes the genereal properties and use of bentonite.

These cause the intestines to concentrate more water within, softening the stool. There are two principal types, saline and hyperosmotic. Examples: Milk of Magnesia, Epsom salt. Laxative - Saline. Site of Action: Small and large intestine Onset of Action: 0.5 - 3 hours Saline laxatives attract and retain water in the intestinal lumen increasing intraluminal pressure, thus softening the stool. They will also cause the release of cholecystokinin, which stimulates the digestion of ...

A laxative is a preparation used for encouraging defecation, or the elimination of feces. Laxatives are most often taken to treat constipation. Certain stimulant, lubricant, and saline laxatives are used to evacuate the colon for rectal and bowel examinations. They are sometimes supplemented by enemas. Laxatives are often abused by bulimics or anorexics. Laxative abuse is a problem that is potentially very serious since it can lead to problems such as intestinal paralysis, Irritable Bowel ...

Weathering is the process of decomposition and/or disintegration of rocks, soils and their minerals through natural, chemical, and biological processes that is, in place. It is not to be confused with erosion, which is the movement of rocks and/or weathering products by water, wind, ice or gravity. The breakdown products, after chemical weathering of rock and sediment minerals and the leaching out of the more soluble parts, when combined with decaying organic material, is called soil. The mineral content of the soil is determin ...

The Bermuda Triangle (sometimes known as Devil's Triangle) is a 1.5-million-square-mile (4,000,000 km²) area of ocean roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the southern tip of Florida. Some believe it is a paranormal site in which the laws of physics are violated or altered. It is said that within this area a number of ships and airplanes have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances. The United States Coast Guard and others disagree with the assessment of paranormal activity, arguing that the number of incidents involving lost ships and airplanes is no larger than ...

Water of crystallization is water that is tightly associated with crystalline metal salts, and remains after drying in a fixed proportion to the salt. Water of crystallization can frequently be removed (dehydration of the salt) by heating the salt far above room temperature, for example by heating in a crucible over a bunsen burner. A salt with associated water of crystallization is known as a hydrated salt; salts without water of crystallization are called anhydrous salts. The structure of these hydrates can be quite elaborate ...

A clathrate or clathrate compound or cage compound is a chemical substance consisting of a lattice of one type of molecule trapping and containing a second type of molecule. (The word comes from the Greek klethra, meaning "bars" (in the sense of a lattice).) For example, a clathrate hydrate involves a special type of gas hydrate that consists of water molecules enclosing a trapped gas. Prospectors believe that compounds on the sea bed have trapped large amounts of methane in similar configurations. Researchers have begun to investigate silicon clathrates fo ...

FeCl2 forms complexes with many ligands. Its most fundamental derivative is the hydrate, FeCl2(H2O)4 (CAS#13478-10-9). Hydrated forms of ferrous chloride are generated by treatment of wastes from steel production with hydrochloric acid. Such solutions are designated spent acid, especially when the hydrochloric acid is not completely consumed. The spent acid requires treatment before its disposal. ...

Zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) is a clear, crystalline, water soluble chemical compound. The hydrated form, ZnSO4·7H2O, the mineral goslarite, was historically known as "white vitriol" and can be prepared by reacting zinc with sulfuric acid. It is used to supply zinc in animal feeds, fertilizers, and agricultural sprays; in making lithopone; in coagulation baths for rayon; in electrolytes for zinc plating; as a mordant in dyeing; as a preservative for skins and leather; and in medicine as an astringent and emet

Chrysocolla (hydrated copper silicate) is a mineral, CuSiO3·nH2O. It is of secondary origin and forms in the oxidation zones of copper ore bodies. Associated minerals are quartz, limonite, azurite, malachite, cuprite, and other secondary copper minerals. Chrysocolla is an attractive blue-green colour and is minor ore of copper, having a hardness of 2.5 to 3.5. It is also used as an ornamental stone. It is typically found as glassy botryoid ...

A carbene dye is a reactive dye based on carbene chemistry. A benzophenone is functionalised with a chromophore or group that can be easily converted to a chromophore at a later stage. The functionalised benzophenone is reacted with hydrazine hydrate and subsequently treatment with mercury oxide. The resulting Diazo compound is stable at room temperature. On heating, Nitrogen gas is released and the Carbene generated. The thus generated carbene reacts rapidly with substra ...

Cobaltite is a mineral composed of cobalt, iron, arsenic sulfide, (Co,Fe)AsS. Structuraly it resembles pyrite (FeS2) with one of the sulfur atoms replaced by an arsenic atom. Although rare it is mined as a significant source of the strategically important metal cobalt. Secondary weathering incrustations of erythrite, hydrated cobalt arsenate, are common. It is found c ...
