Zeolites & Pets
by Dave Johnson · Published · Updated
What are zeolites?
Zeolites are capable of selectively attracting and binding toxic particles, whether they are heavy metals, radioactive particles, viruses, or other carcinogens that may be contributing factors to chronic illness, and safely removing them before they negatively affect overall health. Not only do zeolites eliminate toxic buildup, they can also help control blood sugar levels, balance the body’s pH, improve digestion and nutrient absorption, support healthy immune function, help those who suffer from chronic allergies, and improve the body’s resistance to diseases like cancer.
Ultimately, if we can reduce the amount of pollutants and toxins our pets are exposed to, and use products such as liquid zeolite to eliminate toxic buildup in their bodies, we lower their risk of developing numerous diseases, which results in more energy, improved overall health, and longevity.
How do toxins affect pet health?
The danger of toxins lies in the fact that they are invisible, so they are not easily avoided; likewise, their effects do not surface immediately, so the damage done does not necessarily deter repeat exposure. But just because a toxin won’t cause immediate death or sever organ shutdown doesn’t mean it is less dangerous or that the body is any better equipped to deal with it. Scientists are discovering that continued exposure to common “non-Lethal” toxins can negatively affect major body systems. The constant exposure to everyday chemicals can result in a toxic body burden, when the body can no longer effectively rid itself of toxins, resulting in disease.
Fortunately, there are ways to counteract the long-term buildup of toxins in the body and reduce the negative effects on the health of our pets. Although one can try to reduce exposure to toxins in the environment, one can never eliminate them entirely. Detoxification protocols are the best way to eliminate dangerous toxic buildup. Natural compounds do exist that can safely bind and remove harmful toxins from the body. One such compound is zeolite, one of the safest and most effective naturally detoxifying minerals. It has the capability to bind and eliminate several kinds of toxins, viral sub-particles, allergens, and heavy metal from the body. Zeolite is now available in a purified liquid form, which is tasteless, making it easy to add to a pet’s diet.
Symptoms of Toxic Overload
The most common early symptoms of toxic exposure are likely to be fatigue, confusion, decreased energy levels, mild intestinal discomfort , and muscle weakness. Zeolites can help with the following animal health issues, which are often linked to toxic overload:
- Allergies
- Ear, Eye, and Hoof Problems
- Aggression and Behavioral Disorders
- Anemia
- Arteriosclerosis
- Bone and Joint Disorders
- Bladder Infections and Stones
- Bloating
- Cancer
- Colic
- Dental Problems
- Diabetes
- Infertility
- Inflammation
- Kidney Stones
- Muscular-Skeletal Problems
- Obesity
- Pancreatic Dysfunction
- Respiratory Illnesses
- Sinusitis
- Skin Problems
- Thyroid Problems
- Ulcers
- Urinary Problems
- Bacterial and Viral Infections
- Wound Healing
The Detoxification and Protective Benefits of Zeolite for Our Animal Friends
Environmental toxins are everywhere
Those pets living outdoors are exposed to air filled with lead particles from exhaust fumes and herbicides and pesticides blown from nearby farms and yards. Horses are exposed to aluminum in the galvanized water tanks, toxins in shampoos and conditioners and fly spray. Water is another source of chemicals and heavy metals, especially mercury. Many pets live indoors. However, these pets are not necessarily in a healthier environment. They are bombarded daily with toxins in their environment: from the fumes of cleaners and detergents, the synthetic fibers in carpet, the colored ink in newsprint, the perfumes and lotions we use on ourselves, the flea collars and sprays and shampoos we use on them, and the pollutants we track into the house on our shoes. Even the tap water and food we offer can be full of heavy metals, hormones, and antibiotics. If we take our pets out for a walk, they lick their paws after trotting through the chemical-saturated run off from yards and golf courses and through oil and gasoline residue.
