Clay shows up as a traditional remedy across cultures that never had contact with one another, used both internally and externally in ways that vary more than most readers would expect. This book separates the practical differences between bentonite, kaolin and green illite before it gets anywhere near the question of whether any of it works.
Preparation methods are treated as safety questions as much as efficacy ones, and the evidence base is stated without embellishment in either direction. A firm, unglamorous section on sourcing and contamination risk closes the book, including a direct answer to when clay should not be used at all.
