A letter to a legal firm: looking for help resolving the issue of misinformation with (and mislabeling of) Bentonite Clay based products.
Just like Primal Life Organics, and Earthpaste, VanMan’s Miracle Toothpowder also tests positive for unsafe levels of toxic metals. This is not illegal.
Certificate of Analysis (undated) for Lone Star Botanicals Bentonite Clay – provided by Primal Life Organics to customers confirms Lead levels found by Lead Safe Mama, LLC.
June 20, 2022 email from Trina (owner, Primal Life Organics) indicating she doesn’t understand the math behind the Lead found in her product (& her public response to me sharing this.)
Trina (owner of Primal Life Organics) says her (Lead-contaminated) Dirty Mouth Toothpowder is “Safe To Swallow” (& that swallowing may even be beneficial!), but (6/24) advises customers against swallowing it. Which is it?
False and misleading statements written up by Primal Life Organics. Trina from Primal Life Organics created a “hit-piece” on me, which includes a full list of all the legal actions in which I have prevailed. Please read it for a laugh!
Primal Life Organics tells some customers that the clay used in their Dirty Mouth Toothpowder has Lead and tells others it is certified Lead-free.
Dutch Oral Use Clay Research Study: Lead, Mercury, Arsenic & Cadmium in traditional healing clays (July of 2013, NIH: National Library of Medicine)
Bentonite Clay Research Study: Lead from topically applied Bentonite clay concentrates in livers and kidneys of mice studied (March 2020, NIH: National Library of Medicine)
As anticipated, Primal Life Organic’s legal team sent me a “cease and desist” letter. Here’s their letter and my response.
The Nurse who owns PrimalLife sent me an email threatening legal action, in which she demonstrated a clear misunderstanding of math and science.
Primal Life Dirty Mouth Toothpowder: Positive for 7,000 ppb Lead and 18,000 ppb Cadmium (Cadmium causes cancer and is considered toxic when ingested) at levels in the 100 ppb range & up
The Dirt Natural Toothpaste: No Fluoride, No Glycerin, No Xylitol, Paleo Friendly, Gluten Free, Vegan & “just” 19,000 ppb Cadmium (which causes cancer.)
Bentonite clay (a primary Earthpaste toothpaste ingredient) has unsafe levels of Lead. Earthpaste’s marketing downplays this fact.
