A paste of bentonite, Gold Bond foot powder, and witch hazel applied to an
ingrown toenail works wonders. Seems to make a barrier between the nail an=
d
the toe allowing the nail to grow out without damaging the toe.

I couldn't find any scientific studies to back those claims up. I am
always wary of claims made by "natural" remedy sources that do not have
true science behind them. Most rely on anecdotal sources or things such
as "the Chinese have been using this for centuries..." I doubt that
consuming reasonable amounts of bentonite will harm you.

Dear Tony Ferguson,

The author gives a clear warning.....

<under the supervision of a health practitioner if:
*The individual is taking any prescription medications; and/or
*High blood pressure is present.
People diagnosed with iron intolerance should not take bentonite clay
without blood sample monitoring.
It is also important to note that bentonite clay should not come in contact
with any metals.>>


Talk it over with your GP. Contact your Pharmaceutical Watch Dog. Ask about
double blind investigations that have been used to validate these claims.
Ask the author to explain the biochemistry that enables this rock achieve
these physiological changes.
Hope you attain perfect health
