FAQ’S & Other Zeo1 Zeolite Questions

If I take Zeo 1 to restore or maintain health, do I need to do anything else?

Zeo One is NOT a silver bullet by itself. It has no beneficial Antioxidant or Mineral claims to make as an ingredient. Used by itself it will work as an effective chelating agent only, therefore helping to restore pH balance to assist the natural immune system. Taken in conjunction with medications, vitamins and mineral supplements it will have a much more beneficial effect in delivering these antioxidant or mineral boosters that your system may be requiring. So, YES! If your daily dietary intake of food essentials is lacking, do take a supplement. If by prescription seek your Medical Practitioner’s advice on what sort of supplement you should be taking

If Zeolite is as effective as a Chelating Agent, why has it not been discovered before now?

Actually zeolite has been used for centuries in various forms; a specific instance was in China where 800 years ago it was regularly used by women wanting to ‘cleanse; before falling pregnant. There is lots of anecdotal evidence like this but it was not till last century that zeolite took on real acclaim in industrial usages to more effectively assist us with a cleaner environment. Zeolite has been used in animal husbandry, agriculture, water purification and even Nuclear Waste Reprocessing with remarkable success. It has only been in the last few years however, that zeolite has been considered for medicinal, health and well-being purposes.

If Zeolite can remove harmful toxins from the body, can it carry away valuable vitamins and minerals also?

As yet there is no recognized scientific evidence to prove this. However taken in low to moderate dosage levels and complemented by a balanced diet with dietary vitamin and mineral supplements risks are thought to be negligible. Zeolite as a chelating agent has the ability to carry in beneficial ingredients whilst carrying away harmful others.

It is an important point to note however, that zeolite is actually a crystalline mineral itself, so it does not capture other minerals with the same negative charge, only the opposite positive (+) charge. Also, most minerals like calcium, magnesium etc, are way too large to fit inside the angstrom sized honeycomb cages of zeolite and therefore are not taken up by the zeolite.

Without actual recognised clinical and medical proof just yet, we believe that zeolite may extract harmful toxins from the body that impair the natural immune system

If I take Zeo1 what should I notice?

You should experience a better balance in pH levels throughout the body which will then allow your natural immune system to work harder and better for you. In the case where Zeo One is prescribed or recommended by your Medical Practitioner as an adjunct or aid to treat a specific health care issue the chelating effects of ZeoOne combined with its ability to speed medications to designated parts of the body may have a noticeable effect in efficacy and symptom relief.

Given that we have all had relatively different exposures to varying levels of toxins from food and the environment, there is a wide variety of responses from people who take Zeo One for reasons ranging from specific ailments to general beneficial health and well-being concerns.

You said that you micronized zeolite? Is Zeo One made up of nano particles and if so, what benefits do they offer?

Yes we do micronise zeolite as we have observed that a smaller particle size has a greater absorption potential and a higher cation exchange potential. The zeolite becomes more efficacious in purpose and delivery of claims and promises.

Zeo One is processed to have micron particles which allows us to expose vastly more of the angstrom sized, honeycomb shaped structures that zeolites are made up of. These particles are many times more effective, and pass out of the body in natural processes efficiently.

ZeoOne is not made up of nano particles. After undergoing rigorous experimentation we feel that nano sized zeolite particles are too dangerous since there are too many unanswered long term questions. Search on Google for the increasing dangers of nano particles entering the body through cosmetics and medicine.

We are having excellent results with our micronised particles and this is now the major focuses of our research team. 

Tell Me More About Other Uses For Zeolite

Zeolites in industry have wide and varied uses, perhaps the largest consumer of zeolites is the petrochemical industry as zeolite is used as a catalytic cracker. Zeolite catalysts save the petrochemical industry billions of dollars per year as well as dramatically reducing carbon dioxide emission etc. (A catalyst, is something that speeds up a reaction, usually without causing any apparent harm to the host substance).

Swimming pools are a huge consumer of zeolite filters to capture toxins such as ammonia within the pump’s return cycle.

Agriculture use zeolite to increase food harvests by adding to the soil. The zeolite holds mineral nutrients and much of its own weight in water. This slow releases to botanical root systems when it is most needed as well as providing the cation exchange in release of fertilisers for the electrical stimulation of the roots.

Animal feeders use zeolite for numerous reasons including strengthening the skeletal system of racehorses.

NASA use zeolites for Hydroponically growing foods in space. This method named is Zeoponics and it massively out-performs soils in the confines of space. NASA also uses zeolites to protect delicate components from possible corrosive gasses that could cause a malfunction in space etc. A simple flow on from this technology is the unscented zeolite absorption bags (see our products) for refrigerators, pet & mouldy areas etc.

EPA of America use zeolite to absorb emissions from the end of road tunnels to capture toxic carbon monoxides and benzenes etc. This acts as a catalyst to converting gasses back to oxygen more rapidly.

Nuclear waste industries use zeolites to contain spills and contaminated waste.

On a domestic level, zeolite is used as kitty litter as it is a super moisture and odour absorber hence the scented zeolite bags (see our products) for smelly shoes and gym bags, pet and mouldy areas, or just to have a scented area up for up to six months.

Can I Use It To Help Clean My Drinking Water?
Yes. In many parts of Asia we they use our zeolite to filter their drinking water.
The recent article in the Sydney Morning Herald highlights the dangers of lead in our water tanks.
http://www.smh.com.au/environment/rainwater-users-warned-of-lead-risk-20100409-ryu0.html
Rainwater users warned of lead risk
NICKY PHILLIPS
April 10, 2010
PEOPLE who drink from their rainwater tanks may be consuming unacceptable levels of lead, a study says.
Scientists from the University of Technology, Sydney, assessed the quality of water stored in household tanks around the city and found that five of the 11 tanks contained lead levels exceeding 0.01 milligrams a litre – the amount considered safe in drinking water by the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines.

Was Zeolite Used In The Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor Disaster As A De-Contaminating Agent?

Yes! It was dumped via helicopter over the immediate area to absorb radiated pollutants then scooped up and transferred elsewhere for disposal.

Several hundred million tons of zeolite is used each year to allow detergents to wash our clothes more efficiently. Zeolite breaks down the surface tension of the water, to the effect that it makes the water wetter. Zeolite replaces the need to use tripolyphosphates in detergents.

Does ZeoOne reduce the cravings for tobacco intake?

There has been no recognised clinical trials conducted on these claims, yet some comments and questions from customers have been received concerning reduction of their cravings for tobacco. We wish them well on reduced cravings but cannot assist with actual clinical data. We can only comment on the chelating benefits Zeo 1 may offer smokers in reducing possible toxin levels, especially when taken with recognised antioxidants and mineral supplements.

“I am a Naturopath, and I have been very interested in heavy metal detoxification for many years now and have observed a mammoth increase in the amount of mercury and lead in the urine tests of patients over the last few years”.

Naturopaths from around the world are very interested and concerned about this question.

How can I prove the effectiveness of ZeoOne to my patients?

According to recent tests, before and after stool sample are best indicators after a day or so of taking ZeoOne. Check for heavy metals including lead and mercury. Urine samples may not reveal to you real toxic levels within the body. A hair sample before and after taken at shaft level may help you with evidence.

Possible signs that ZeoOne maybe  working:

• Stool colour may change, also consistency
• Also urinations will increase with recommended increase in water intake
• Clearer thinking
• Better sleep
• More energy
• Body stiffness decreasing
• Better hair and nail growth
• Depression levels decreasing
• Balances pH levels

What would happen to me if I took too much Zeo1 at one time?

For most people there are no side effects. This is a safe chelation product. If you have discomfort, firstly you may notice that you could become quite thirsty. Drink more water, more than you normally would and up to 3-5 or more litres per day, pending on your daily dosage of Zeo One. We suggest starting slowly on Zeo 1, trying only a few drops at first and increasing the serving gradually depending on how you feel, or in accordance with professional medical advice.

Please note, chelation processes have a large and varying affect on different individuals, if you have any concerns we recommend that you consult your Doctor or Health Care Professional. If other health concerns arise due to chelation processes please discontinue use immediately of ZeoOne and also consult you medical advisor.

How much ZeoOne should I take when starting?

Because ZeoOne has very powerful heavy metal and toxin absorption capabilities we strongly suggest when beginning a cleansing program to start very slowly.

Adults: Drops Per Day	Children: Drops Per Day
1-3 drops per day for 7 days	1-2 drops per day for 7 days
4-7 drops per day for 7 days	2-4 drops per day for 7 days
8-10 drops per day for 7 days	4 drops per day for 7 days
11-20 drops per day for 7 days	5 drops per day for 7 days

Only progressing to next 7 days stage if no adverse effects. Remember it has taken you years to accumulate these toxins in your body so eliminate them slowly!

If Clinoptilolite Zeolite is such a super absorbent, even to air-borne toxins, would Zeolite from the source not also contain contaminants?

 Australian Zeolite used in ZeoOne, however, is from a very special source, and therefore free from most contaminants although it will have some natural impurities found in all natural zeolite. It is from a very rare and pure site, away from power stations, manufacturing companies, crop growing areas that may use herbicides. There is also no nuclear testing in the area which eliminates radioactive contamination.

Does your company ensure that ZeoOne is a pure product?

Yes the clinoptilolite zeolite comes from a pure source in Australia, and it also goes through a slow extensive and elaborate series of washing, cleansing, purifying and sterilizing to ensure that you receive the purest form with the highest heavy metal and toxin absorption ability. ZeoOne is produced to full GMP standards in Government approved premises using the highest quality equipment. It is approve in Australia as ‘non hazardous’ and listed in the USA on the GRAS list (generally regarded as safe).

What is the difference between Clinoptilolite Zeolite and other Zeolites? How many zeolites are there?

There are 48 naturally forming zeolites. There are also many forms of synthetic zeolites manufactured for different specific purposes in industry. Naturally formed Clinoptilolite however is now being researched as one of the best facilitators in the newer fields of medical advancements. Negatively charged, it has the ability to carry good ingredients into the body, and at the same time carry away harmful, other negatively charged, ingredients. It seems now that clinoptilolite has the highest cation exchange and therefore it has the highest functional ability for newly interested medical purposes and concerns.

Can I buy a Better Zeolite Formulation?

We have investigated what is on the market and firmly believe ZeoOne is No1.
ZeoOne control measures to ensure purity of substance and formulation in all formats from source to final manufacture in quality controlled laboratories. ZeoOne uniqueness in its long cleansing and activation procedures of each batch.

Are there any drawbacks or side effects?

Not usually. There may be thirst. But if you do have underlying infections that have not been professionally addressed this may worsen as the chelating effect goes into action. An example might be tooth and gum conditions. Consult your Medical Practitioner if symptoms arise and cease your course of ZeoOne in the interim period.

Some positive side effects maybe increased head hair and nail growth. When the drop dosages are increased 30-60 per day over a 3 month period many have reported substantial head hair growth and the strongest nails they have ever had. Note, to sustain this dosage extra supplements and a very good diet needs to be maintained along with 3-4 litres per day of water. Some are taking it specifically for hair loss and achieving significant results if they do it in conjunction with other steps. (Note: You must still have hair roots usually these take 12 months to die, nothing grows after this so don’t waste your money)

Can children take ZeoOne?

Our children live in the same toxic world that we do. ZeoOne is safe for children. If in doubt consult your Medical Practitioner.

Can ZeoOne safely be taken by pregnant or nursing women?

We believe yes as it is non toxic, non harmful.

How long does ZeoOne remain in the body?

Only as long as the normal intake of food and digestion process takes. Then passes out naturally with waste products.

Can I take too much ZeoOne?

ZeoOne is non-toxic and has no side effects for most people documented. It is wise to keep dosage levels low unless advised for higher dosages from your Medical Practitioner. In some cases where a ‘detox’ program has been undertaken, people with underlying dental or gum problems may experience discomfort and so should cease ZeoOne and seek professional dental advice before recommencing their Zeo 1 programme.

Should ZeoOne be taken with food or on an empty stomach?

We recommend that you take Zeolite on an empty stomach, 1-2 hours away from food, minerals, or prescription agents. However, it is best taken in an eight-ounce glass of water to help insure adequate hydration throughout the day. Remember to increase water intake during the day – up to 8 standard glasses. It is best not to take in coffee, as coffee will dehydrate the body.

Can it help with Lyme Disease?

We notice in these Lyme areas repeat orders just keep increasing. However, it would be illegal as well as irresponsible to make any claims do so on the basis of the results that have come in to date. This issue relates back to the immune systems. Again it comes back to the strength, purity and  micronisation of this product.

Why is detoxification of my body important?

The average person is exposed to a high toxin load through water and air pollution, household cleaning supplies, pesticides, disinfectants, and food additives. According to the EPA, 70,000 chemicals are used commercially in the U.S.A., 65,000 of which are potentially hazardous to our health. The Environmental Defense Council reports that more than four billion pounds of toxic chemicals are released into the environment each year, including 72 million pounds of known carcinogens. These toxins are strongly correlated with the occurrence of a wide range of diseases, including cancers, birth defects, and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s, autism, and dementia. In today’s world, detoxification is essential to prevent disease and create optimal health.

What kinds of toxins are in your body?

PCBs, dioxins, phthalates, DDT, and furans are just some of the chemicals that are commonly found in human tissue and blood. A 2003 study by Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, Commonweal, and the Environmental Working Group identified a total of 167 hazardous compounds in the blood and urine of American adults (with an average of 91 per person tested), including 76 known to cause cancer, 94 that are toxic to the nervous system, 82 that damage the lungs, 86 that affect hormone function, and 79 that cause birth defects. Included among these compounds were highly toxic heavy metals such as lead, aluminium, and mercury, and numerous herbicides and pesticides. A similar study the following year by the Environmental Working Group found 287 industrial chemicals in babies’ umbilical-cord blood – with an average of 200 chemicals in each newborn tested – including 180 known to cause cancer and 217 that are toxic to the brain and nervous system. These tests are part of a new field of scientific study known as body burden analysis, and the findings are truly frightening. The October 2006 issue of National Geographic magazine has full details of toxins in our homes.

How does ZeoOne differ from classic chelators that may pull heavy metals and toxins out of the body?

Some Classic chelating agents are non-specific in terms of what they attract. For example, one commonly used chelator attracts anything that has a +2 charge. Thus, it takes lead out of the body but also eliminates calcium and magnesium, necessitating supplementation. The negatively charged zeolite cage attracts minerals and toxins that have a positive charge, but its attraction is also based on molecular structure and size as well as other factors. Therefore, it attracts and eliminates lead but not calcium or magnesium. Zeolite's effect on the body is milder than that of classic chelators. Zeolite removes toxins by placing the ions in the zeolite’s molecular cage. It effectively inactivates the toxins’ ions, preventing them from further reacting with the body as they are being expelled. (That reactivity is common with other chelators and is popularly called a detox syndrome or healing crisis.) The heavy metals and other toxins bound up by zeolite are unable to do any damage to the kidneys or bladder in the process of being eliminated. The only consequential reaction that zeolite is documented to cause is slight dehydration, which is easily prevented or remedied by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.

Finally, ‘detoxifying’ or cleansing with zeolite is much less expensive than using classic chelating agents. Traditional chelation is done in a series of intravenous treatments.

I do yoga specifically Bikram Yoga or “Hot Yoga” where they say we sweat out all the toxins; do I still need to take Zeolite?

Bikram Yoga is great for sweating out some of the toxins and heavy metals, especially the recently acquired ones. Toxins and heavy metals over the years moved to sit deep in your fatty tissues and need some assistance to be chelated from these difficult fatty tissue areas. Sweating alone will be a long process to chelate just some of these difficult to remove toxins and heavy metals. Secondly as you sweat some toxins and heavy metals do move around the body and just relocate. Zeolite may capture these in the natural honeycomb chambers as they move to relocate. Reports from our yoga and especially Bikram devotees is that if you have consumed ZeoOne in water that you have left standing for 10-15 minutes well before class the effect is remarkable. Be aware to start very slowly if you are going to take this accelerated approach to cleansing. The effect of cleansing with Zeo 1 & sweating at the same time may result in rapid physical benefits for your skin, body and a heightened sense of clarity in the mind.

How can Zeolite remove toxic metals such as lead and mercury but not healthy ones such as calcium and magnesium?

Zeolite’s ability to attract and bind different substances is based on the size, shape, and electrical configuration of its molecular cages. Zeolite’s greatest affinity is thought to be with heavy metals, especially mercury, cadmium, lead, and arsenic. Lighter metals such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous have smaller ions, and so their affinity to zeolite’s negative charge in order of magnitude is much less. Zeolite will leave minerals such as Calcium, Magnesium and phosphorous at their very best performance levels within the body.

Does it remove toxins that are not positively charged?

No. Most heavy metals are positively charged, as are a number of other dangerous toxins. Further tests are being conducted, but world-wide concern is focused on heavy metals and other toxins that may have a positive charge in relation the negative charge of zeolite.

Since Zeolite removes foreign metal ions from the body, can it attack dental fillings, hip replacements, or breast implants?

The mechanism by which zeolite removes unwelcome pollutants from the body is entirely passive. There is no evidence (or reported cases that we know about) that causes zeolite to be a risk element in any medical procedure.

Can Zeolite cure cancer?

No one can make that claim!

ZeoOne is not approved as a drug or substance, and so no claim can be made that it cures, treats, or prevents cancer or any other disease. It would be illegal to do so as well as irresponsible on the basis of the small studies that have been done to date. More trials are being conducted and we hope to be able to make some accredited claims available to you in the future. These may not be on cancer specifically, but somewhat related issues to help immune systems.

Can it help with infertility?

We do supply doctors that prefer to have their patients on zeolite for 6-12months before they want to conceive. This gives them a greater chance for nature to take its course if many of the toxins are expelled from the body and of course they increase the babies chances of been born healthy.

Does Zeolite kill viruses?

No. It will, however, promote a healthy immune system and act as a more direct delivery system for optimum absorption of antibiotics for a speedy recovery.

Why is it important to maintain proper pH balance?

Because bacteria, fungi, yeast, and viruses—as well as diseases such as cancer – thrive in an acidic environment. Acidic pH levels of 6.9 and below are conducive to disease. The optimum pH of your body should be slightly alkaline – between 7.35 and 7.45 – which is the level that ZeoOne tends to establish.

Zeolite contains Alumina. Could this potentially be harmful?

No. The aluminium content as we see it is very strongly bonded into the cage-like structure of the zeolite, and so is unavailable biologically. The aluminium content is believed to be bonded and non exchangeable . We are doing clinical trials on this very issue now.

Is it really necessary to take this?

We feel that every adult should be on some form of ongoing, low-level cleansing therapy.  This is because most adults are loaded with toxic substances.  You should prefer to get this garbage out of you before you become ill but you don’t want to do this, either because you do not understand the importance of cleaning the body out or because of the cost and time commitment associated with the IV chelation techniques.  Well, nobody is too busy to take a few drops in water or juice every day, and most of us can handle a few $$$ a month over one to two years of taking this natural product.

Does ZeoOne affect liver function?

Any reduction in pollutants would be helpful to liver functions. It is what chelation is all about.

What About Patients?

Auto-immune disease. Those on Dialysis treatments. Safe, by Doctor Prescriptions.

Does ZeoOne need refrigeration after the bottle is opened?

In keeping the product as natural as possible it is best to keep in a refrigerator after opening, or at least to keep in a cool dry place preferably below 18 degrees Celsius or 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Shelf life is 2 years from date of manufacture.

Is ZeoOne sold via MLM (Multi Level Marketing)?

No.

Why is it sold only in glass?

Accelerated testing was done with the highest food grade hospital plastic containers. We were not surprised by the results. Zeolite is known for its amazing extraction and absorption qualities this is why NASA uses it. We found that it took less than 3 months for our Australian Zeolite to breakdown the lining on the inside of the best food grade plastic container. The last thing that you would want is to be filling up the honeycomb cages with toxins and then consuming these toxins all from your very own zeolite container. Again this testing was with pure Australian zeolite, micronised, this is why the manufacturer Zeo1 Australia will only use glass. It is a powerful  micronised zeolite.
