I've copied and pasted an article below about zeolite. Supposedly, it reduces heavy metals in the body and helps to alkalinize the cells, which can…

Didn't notice the "XX" in front of the "L":
Since my surgery I've had to buy all new clothes as I can no longer dress as I did. I now wear draw-string pants or elastic banded pants, no more zippers, belts,snaps, buttons,or back pockets for me. Likewise with T shirts: no more tight-fitting Ts to accentuate traps, pecs ,lats and arms, just very loose and very lengthy…
