I was back in the Detroit area a few weeks ago and it was surreal. Tiny white flakes were observable in the air (I thought I was nuts but my level-headed son confirmed it).

No idea. Growing up in the Detroit suburbs, it wasn't unusual to have air quality issues stemming from the factories downriver. However, I don't recall seeing flakes in the air.
Gotcha....it could be that since there is so much air pollution already, the particulates are combining. Who knows. Why I'm detoxing as much as possible with diatomaceous earth, fulvic acid, and staying hydrated more than ever.
Food grade bentonite clay is something to consider. Fill your glass with water, have a mini whisk at hand, put a teaspoon of clay into the water and whisk like the dickens for about 30 seconds, then drink it right down.
If you put the clay in first and pour water on top of it, you’ll get Play-Doh. Multiple external and internal uses. Stops mosquito bite itch almost instantaneously.
Goes into the intestines to detox and plug leaky gut holes.
I’m using that and MSM (organic sulfur) to cure my long, long running acid reflux and it’s working!
All apple cider vinegar (which obviously works wonders for some) did for me was make the hurting worse.
Makes sense as our ancestors would also drink water with clay, back when the water wasn't totally polluted. I've taken bentonite and don't mind the taste. Didn't know about the mosquito bite thing though! Wow. Apparently there's also green clay from France that works very well, haven't tried that yet. Where did you get the MSM?
Where I get everything, Amazon. But I tracked down the supplier online and got a subscription going there as well. I don’t want supply chain issues interrupting my treatment. I’m sure any good natural supplements store would have it. But I’ve lived 72 years, have bought tons of supplements and am just now learning about this one.
Bentonite Clay, hydrated, is with me at all times. Fantastic for cuts or any skin issue. My dog accidentally got her tooth down my cuticle when playing with a ball and it started to get infected. Paste of hydrated Bentonite Clay held in place with plastic wrap pulled the infection right out. Husband cut his hand on glass and thought he might need stitches. Kept it wrapped in bentonite clay for a few days and healed beautifully with minimal scarring.
I’m a believer! I haven’t, thank God, had any wounds to deal with, but I will confidently apply when needed. I think I read someone’s report that they used it to draw out spider venom.
Yes, I have a tiny little scoop and dump a bit into my palm and add a few drops of water. Makes fabulous face mask and can be put into the bath to detox externally as well. Good for hair, good for skin, so many uses that I haven’t even explored yet.
Yes. Recommended is take immediately upon rising and wait 30 minutes before taking in food or other supplements. I do that and after 30 minutes I do the Bentonite and let that work for an hour before taking other supplements. The Bentonite is only once daily. The ORGANIC sulfur (I use powder or crystals) is three times daily.
I seldom eat before noon. So about midafternoon I do the second dose. Then when I get the first thoughts about eating again, I do dose #3 and by the time I get my dinner prepared, the 30 minutes of waiting time are over.
Here’s some information I’ve used.
From Dr. Axe
Improves Digestive Problems
MSM can help rebuild the lining of the digestive tract and lower inflammatory responses in response to allergic reactions to certain foods.
It’s also useful for helping treat leaky gut syndrome since it can help stop particles from leaching out the gut through small junction openings, where they can enter the bloodstream and ignite an inflammatory response. This is due in part to the sulfur in an MSM supplement, which is important for digestion.
Additionally, MSM supplements seem to help treat hemorrhoids, according to studies. Applying a gel containing MSM along with tea tree oil can reduce pain and swelling caused by hemorrhoids (swollen blood vessels of the rectum that make it hard to go to the bathroom without pain or bleeding).
Bentonite Clay
Gut Detox 1 tsp. of clay 2-4 oz. of water.
Directions Take internally for a full gut detox. Mix 1 tsp. of clay with 2-4 oz. of water. Shake well. Drink mixture once daily.
*For best results use for 8 weeks as a daily detox regime
Thanks! I've had leaky gut for years and stick to a pretty strict diet, but I've never tried this so I'll definitely give it a try. I'd also read about using L-glutamine to heal the gut and I'm currently trying that. I've heard of bentonite clay for years and actually have some but never gave it a good try. Do you mind saying what brand of MSM supplement you use? It caused stomach upset in the past so I gave up on it. Although MSM alone is highly recommended for joint pain. Thanks again for all the info. And Dr. Axe is good.
i prefer bentonite clay- I got DE pretty cheap at the tractor supply co (food grade). bentonite clay has more applications I believe. I know that DE has silica, which helps with EMF/aluminum detox. Bentonite clay should have it too.
Yes. Empty stomach. So for an hour and a half in the morning, I give the ORGANIC sulfur 30 minutes to process, then the Bentonite clay gets an hour before ingesting anything else.
I should say, the sulfur is bitter, but after a few weeks, I hardly even notice it. In the beginning I would have a glass of plain water to drink right after the sulfur. Now I still drink the water, but not in a panic.
And you should drink plenty of water with these products, but I’ve always drank plenty of water and haven’t had to change my habits.
Ever seen a forest fire up close??? They produce WHITE FLAKES of ash...
I'm not saying ALL flakes are ash... But in the case of forest fires, they can produce white ash flakes. (Grew up in Florida where there are control burns regularly).
I was back in the Detroit area a few weeks ago and it was surreal. Tiny white flakes were observable in the air (I thought I was nuts but my level-headed son confirmed it).
Having had regular forest fire air quality issues in Wa state since 2015, white flakes in the air are a regular occurrence
Same in Cali …white flakes all over cars .
Crazy. What do you think it is?
No idea. Growing up in the Detroit suburbs, it wasn't unusual to have air quality issues stemming from the factories downriver. However, I don't recall seeing flakes in the air.

diatomaceous earth. Can that be food grade. Certainly not to be inhaled.
Food grade bentonite clay is something to consider. Fill your glass with water, have a mini whisk at hand, put a teaspoon of clay into the water and whisk like the dickens for about 30 seconds, then drink it right down.

Does it have to be in the paste form to work for a mosquito bite?
Yes, I have a tiny little scoop and dump a bit into my palm and add a few drops of water. Makes fabulous face mask and can be put into the bath to detox externally as well. Good for hair, good for skin, so many uses that I haven’t even explored yet.
I keep a quart jar of hydrated clay on hand at all times. It keeps forever, so why not have it made and ready to go? :)
Absolutely no good reason other than I didn’t do it yet!
Do you drink the bentonite clay on an empty stomach, or does it matter?
Yes. Recommended is take immediately upon rising and wait 30 minutes before taking in food or other supplements. I do that and after 30 minutes I do the Bentonite and let that work for an hour before taking other supplements. The Bentonite is only once daily. The ORGANIC sulfur (I use powder or crystals) is three times daily.

Sorry, if it’s a little graphic 🫤
And it has pretty much eliminated all my joint pain and I’ve had rheumatoid arthritis for many years! It really has worked so well for me.
Thanks! I've had leaky gut for years and stick to a pretty strict diet, but I've never tried this so I'll definitely give it a try. I'd also read about using L-glutamine to heal the gut and I'm currently trying that. I've heard of bentonite clay for years and actually have some but never gave it a good try.

Thanks again for all the info. And Dr. Axe is good.
I drink it first thing or last thing at night. You want to take it away from food so that it can work on your gut.
Right.
Thanks! Do you prefer DE or bentonite clay? and what's the difference?
i prefer bentonite clay- I got DE pretty cheap at the tractor supply co (food grade). bentonite clay has more applications I believe. I know that DE has silica, which helps with EMF/aluminum detox. Bentonite clay should have it too.

Really doesn’t taste like anything but murky water.
Yes for certain. I take food grade, 1 tsp per day. Here's a decent site with sources: https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/2014/01/diatomaceous-earth-homestead.html

Could there have been a local fire in addition to the wildfires??
