Bentonite clay and black walnut are two of nature’s most potent cleansing agents, each with a long history of use in traditional medicine and modern detox protocols. In Flush GBI, they are paired for their complementary actions: bentonite works like a molecular sponge, while black walnut acts as a natural antimicrobial and antiparasitic—together helping to clear, cleanse, and restore balance to the digestive tract.

Bentonite Clay – The Mineral Sponge
Bentonite clay is formed from aged volcanic ash and is rich in minerals such as calcium, magnesium, silica, sodium, and iron. Its cleansing power comes from its unique cation exchange capacity—meaning it carries a strong negative electrical charge that attracts and binds positively charged particles such as heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium), environmental toxins, pathogenic bacteria, and even certain radioactive isotopes.

Once hydrated, bentonite clay swells and forms a soft gel-like consistency that moves gently through the gut, adhering to unwanted substances and carrying them out of the body via normal elimination. This process reduces the toxic load on the liver, kidneys, and immune system, allowing the body’s own detox pathways to operate more efficiently.

Studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that bentonite clay can:

• Support removal of environmental pollutants, pesticides, and heavy metals.

• Help neutralise pathogenic bacteria and their toxins.

• Bind mycotoxins (toxins from mould) and reduce their impact on the body.

• Aid in balancing gut flora by reducing harmful organisms.

Its mineral content also supports tissue repair and promotes an alkaline internal environment—beneficial for overall wellness and disease prevention.

The Synergy – Binding + Purging
When combined with black walnut, the two work in sequence:

1. Black walnut helps dislodge and weaken harmful organisms and biofilms, disrupting their hold on the intestinal lining.

2. Bentonite clay binds to these unwanted materials, trapping them within its structure.

3. The body then removes them naturally through bowel movements, reducing the chance of reabsorption (a common problem in incomplete cleanses).

This dual action not only promotes a cleaner, healthier digestive tract but also supports a stronger immune system, improved nutrient absorption, and reduced inflammation. By eliminating toxins and parasites while simultaneously protecting and toning gut tissue, this combination plays a pivotal role in the effectiveness of the Flush GBI protocol.
