About Zeolith Wissen

Why zeolith-wissen.de? My name is Andreas, I am a web designer and have been working primarily in the medical field for many years. My wife is a medical and science journalist who is well versed in both conventional medicine and naturopathy. I myself suffered from intestinal problems for many years (in my case, irritable bowel syndrome) and, like many other people, I went through a long odyssey of trial and error as a patient.

We came across zeolite relatively late, partly because the possibilities of intestinal cleansing with natural volcanic rock were still the subject of heated debate until recently and were hardly ever mentioned in conventional medicine.

However, this is currently changing dramatically: science is also increasingly discovering the options offered by so-called naturopathic substances and, in accordance with its strict scientific criteria, is becoming increasingly clear about the central importance of the intestine for our health – and indeed for disease.

In view of the massive increase in the number of patients with irritable bowel syndrome, leaky gut syndrome or fatty liver (currently around 30 percent of the German population suffers from so-called ‘non-alcoholic fatty liver’), but also the ever-increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and, finally, depression and anxiety disorders, it is important to know that the – disturbed intestine is often the (co-)cause of these diseases.

As a result, the microbiome is currently the focus of research interest, and the volcanic mineral zeolite has also been the subject of increasingly comprehensive clinical research over the last 20 years. It is becoming apparent that much more attention needs to be paid to the microbiome and intestinal health, especially to an intact intestinal wall/intestinal barrier, than was thought 10 years ago. However, all this is communicated far too little.

In view of our professions, it was therefore only logical to contribute to communicating this knowledge more comprehensively and, above all, more factually. Furthermore, we believe it is necessary to provide explanations and corrections for numerous misunderstandings and prejudices arising from ignorance.

Zeolith-wissen.de is a dynamically developing website that is strongly oriented towards the latest scientific findings. From now on, we will therefore be reporting primarily from the world of research, but the topic of ‘prevention’ – which is more important than ever – will not be neglected.

Please note: zeolith-wissen.de is an information portal and is not suitable for diagnostic purposes or treatment strategies.
