ETA: Why is it so much more expensive? Mine cost about $6.00 for one pound!
I talked with the lady on the phone and she was soooo nice, sweet, and well informed. I wish I could meet her I would soak in everything she knew about clay
It costs more because it is a much purer, cleaner, regulated source. It is safe for internal cleansing.
The less expensive ones are good for external but should never be put on open wounds or taken internally. Since they might contain certain things like metals or tetnus (it is from the ground which can naturally have that).

There isnt much clay cant help! I was going to post here about all the ways I have personally used it, the results, and how but i guess im putting it off because it would be quite lengthy And it could go in all kinds of areas, health, beauty, recipes, allergies, autism, etc....
So in short my family has used it for:
burns-awesome!
Flu
husbands jungle rot and weird undiagnosable skin stuff on his feet from the military
cellulitis (drastic improvement overnight, dried by second/thirdish day!)
blisters from shoes
ive removed small moles/skin tags on myself
food poisoning
heartburn
eczema
cleansing/detoxing/antiparasite (externally and internally)
curl booster
asthma
bug bites
rashes
cellulite
contact dermatitis
dandruff
regulating bowel movements gently
deoderant
swelling
bruises
clogged pore that looks like a pimple
facial/skin firmer/black head remover (my beauty routine for years)
allergies and red/puffy eyes from allergies
liver detox
earaches(paste behind the ears to speed things up)
in my toothpaste
remove white coat on my tongue
stye/pink eye

I use it during pregnancy for:
cleansing/detoxing/antiparasite (externally and internally)
asthma got worse with last pregnancy (I was able to stop using inhaler)
hemeroids
dandruff
swelling in the ankles (foot soaks)
heartburn
weight gain
edema
blood sugar
keeps me regular better than any fiber or overcounter out there
the dark spots I randomly get on my skin
strange cravings
sleep better

Children:
-mouth sores
-urinary tract infections(uti's)
-bee stings
-metal detox
-pavement knee scrape (my 2 year old fell and scraped her knee pretty bad in an area i really wish she hadnt fallen and the next morning i realized she had a small pebble still under her skin and some black stuff that wouldnt come out of another part of the scrape. I wasnt sure how i was gonna get it out. but to be sure it didnt get infected and to put down the swelling,I put a glob of clay paste on the spot and covered it with a band aid for 30 minutes. When i took the clay off the pebble came off with the clay, it had softened her skin up and the pebble actually came out on its own! the black stuff came out too. all before i even rinsed it. wow)
-eyes (my daughter has strabismus that is worsened with allergies. ive been putting clay on her eye lids(but not near the eyelashes) before bed for 4 days now (6/22/10) and we were walking by some men pulling and cutting weeds and whatnot off the fencing and she didnt even break a tear or rub her eyes. she also says that her peripheral vision is better and can use her eye muscles to keep from crossing right after i take the clay off. not magic, just did what it was suppose to, decreases swelling and started healing the skin )


For babies:
thrush
redness/odor in skin folds
diaper rash
eczema
colic
gentle bath/cleanser
over active letdown if nursing
sleep longer stretches in the night
teething (my fourth child and only one to have the luxury of clay doesnt know what it is like to cry from teething. all my others had a terrible time)
House:
removed hair dye from the grout inbetween bathroom tiles
fruit/veggie wash

These are just things that I have used it for with success but there are tons of other ways I havent tried yet.
thats all I can think of right now, its kind of late
