Research:
I investigate antimicrobial properties of clay minerals.
From our lab website: Documented use of two clay minerals as a therapeutic treatment of the necrotizing skin disease, Buruli ulcer, suggests that certain natural nanominerals have significant beneficial effects on wound healing. In 2001, a French humanitarian working in the Ivory Coast of Africa began treating children with Buruli ulcer with natural clay minerals. Within days of initiating treatment with clay poultices, the therapeutic properties of the clay minerals were demonstrated, with the initiation of rapid, non-surgical debridement of the destroyed tissue. Extended treatment with the clay minerals resulted in continued debridement of the ulcer, tissue regeneration, and wound healing. After several months of daily clay applications, the Buruli ulcer wounds healed with soft, supple scarring and return of normal motor function.
