my thread discussed using calcium bentonite clay to address the side effects of diarrhea and respiratory infections as a result of COVID-19. Kaopectate, named in part for its kaolin content when originally produced, has not contained any kaolin clay since 2004. Kaopectate’s main ingredient since then is the clay bismuth subsalicylate. It would be helpful to learn how and if bismuth subsalicylate performs against COVID-19 in comparison to bentonite clay but that is not something I intend to research.

For treatment of non-COVID-19 diarrhea and respiratory infections my therapy choice is slippery elm bark, not geophagia.
