Have you tried bentonite clay for other purposes as well? I am thinking about it in terms of gut detox/healing but found conflicting information about which clay to use. Apparently some have high level of arsenic or some other poison in them and it needs to be medicinal grade.
To be brutally honest, I have no idea what bentonite clay is.
I live in France, and what we use here is just called Green Clay. I don't know if that's the same thing. I've been trying to Google it by can't find anything helpful.
But, if we're talking Green Clay, I've used it for all sorts of things. The thing I find it most useful for is toothache - and I've had more than my fair share of that - thank you, Hashimoto! In the past, I used booze and aspirin, but Green Clay works much better, and you don't get a hangover!
I have also used it for... stomach cleansing... I don't know, really. It's just that my flat mate some years ago used it for everything, so if I said I had any sort of upset, pain, whatever, he got out the Green Clay. It was pretty good for bruises and swelling, but whether or not it did me any good when I swallowed it, I couldn't say. It was not the right time for experimenting, I was getting more and more hypo, after a hyper swing, and if anything, I think the clay excellorated the decline! But as I also became veggie at the same time, it's difficult to say what caused what. As friends have always told me, I really should take my excesses one at a time!
However, I do know it gave me diahrrea (spelling?) when my friend told me it would make me constipated. We used to drink it every morning, a sort of little ritual. Not an unpleasant taste...
As to the impurities, what we bought - and what I have in the cupboard now - is food grade stuff, so I imagine it's safe, but... You can get Bentonite at iherb :

Sorry I can't be of any more help than that.
