Podcast 409: Detox with Zeolite

MARTIN: Hello, everybody! This is Martin Pytela for the Life Enthusiast Podcast, and with me today is Micah Portney, the CEO of Zeo Health. Micah and I have been together for decades, working in the health industry. Micah is the grandfather of the US Zeolite industry, but I’ll let him tell you the story in his words. Micah Portney, welcome!

MICAH: Thank you for having me, Martin. I’m not quite happy about the grandfather comment, but we will go from there. I am the pioneer of Zeolite supplementation, you say in the US, but for the most part, it was in most of the world, from a commercial perspective, I am the first person to create the supplement industry using Zeolite. The difference between our company and other zeolite sellers is that most are supplement companies that decide to add a zeolite product to their line. They are not really experts in zeolite. Zeolite manufacturing is all we do. We are experts on zeolite and as you know, there are companies that have tried to copy us over the past 22 years. I can tell you a little bit more about that as we go.

MARTIN: Sure! First, I would like you to address the point of why should a person know about Zeolite. Some people listening to us maybe don’t know what it is. So why should I care about zeolite? What’s the big deal?

MICAH: That’s a great question. Zeolite is a natural mineral, it is actually a sodium aluminosilicate, which sounds scary, but it’s not. It always maintains its compound form. It’s formed  when lava or volcanic ash meets the sodium in seawater, and it goes through  a chemical reaction, which creates this cage structure, and a negative charge, which is natural. Not a lot of minerals have a natural negative charge, but zeolite is one of them. And it uses what’s called cation exchange. Which, if you actually take a look at those numbers for different products or minerals, it shows the magnetic charge, the strength of the magnetic charge to pull in the toxins and heavy metals from your body.

MARTIN: Yeah, so it’s more like magneto-physical, as opposed to electrochemical. The reaction is more like a magnet as opposed to chelation in a sense, right?

MICAH: Absolutely. Zeolite has this cage structure, and this magnetic charge pulls toxins and heavy metals into the structure and then pulls them out of your body. Other detoxifiers will pull the heavy metals out of the cell, but your body doesn’t know what to do with them. Your liver has to refilter it, and your body has these reactions as if it was poisoned with heavy metals because they’re all floating around your body, and can be redeposited somewhere else. Zeolite actually traps them, and they are out of your body within six to eight hours, so your body is never exposed to them, or has reactions to them.

MARTIN: Right. Actually, I went through that process when I was toxic with mercury, back in my early days, I used some homeopathic, and it stirred up whatever my body managed to sequester. And all of a sudden, I was just toxic as heck. It felt like I was walking under a glass dome, my sensory perception was distorted,
