"I Thought My Legs Were Swollen Because Of My Age." What Was Packed Into Her Ankles And Calves, And What Slimmed Them In 8 Weeks
For three years Barb put her feet up every night like her doctor said. Elevating them never drained them. Her ankles were gone by dinner and the sock marks were still there at bedtime.
Barb is 63, a retired school librarian in Dayton, Ohio. Her ankles disappeared by dinner, her calves filled her capris, and her doctor said the same thing every visit: normal for your age, put your feet up, cut salt.
Her daughter Kim sent her this. Here are the six things that changed her legs, starting with the stair rail. The one that worked is ten drops of zeolite with humic and fulvic minerals in water, twice a day.
1. Both hands on the stair rail
Kim noticed it at Thanksgiving. Her mom came down the stairs sideways, both hands on the rail, one step at a time. Barb said her knees were stiff.
Kim looked at her ankles: puffy over the top of her shoes, no ankle bone, a deep ring from her socks. Barb had stopped wearing capris to church and bought shoes a size up, twice.
She had been putting her feet up every night for three years.
Check your own ankles2. The thumb test that told her it wasn't age
Press your thumb into your shin for five seconds and let go. Barb's dent stayed for half a minute. Kim read that a dent that sits there means the leg is holding more than water.
It's fluid packed around buildup the body never cleared. Try it now while you read, and write down how long it takes to fill in. You'll want that number in week three.
Try the thumb test3. Feet up, socks on, salt gone, and thick again by 2pm
Elevating worked until she stood up. Compression socks held the swelling in place and left a ring at bedtime. She cut salt until her food tasted like cardboard. A leg cream from the pharmacy felt nice and changed nothing.
Every one of them worked on the water sitting in her legs. None of them took out what the water was sitting around, so it was back every afternoon.
Stop chasing the swellingWhat she tried, and when it came back
4. What was packed into her legs
Years of sitting and slow digestion let buildup collect in the gut. Your body packs it into fat and holds fluid around it, and gravity sends it to the lowest point first: ankles, calves, knees.
Zeolite is a volcanic mineral with a cage-shaped structure.
In the gut it binds the buildup your body has been packing into fat and carries it out when you go, and the fat and fluid that were holding it go with it.
Humic and fulvic minerals keep your gut moving so it leaves. Kim ordered Trace that night. Ten drops in water when Barb got up, ten before bed.
See how it works5. Week 2 the sock marks. Week 4 ankle bones. Week 8 different legs
The first week Barb was up to the bathroom more and her legs felt lighter by evening. In week two the sock marks faded in minutes.
In week four she pointed at her own ankle bone and called Kim into the room.
By week eight her calves were slim enough that her capris hung loose, her knees had shape again, and the thumb dent filled in before she could count to three.
At Easter she came down the stairs with one hand on the rail.

Questions people ask
Will she pee more?
In the first week, yes. That's the buildup leaving. It settles after that.
Is it a diuretic?
No. A diuretic pulls water. Trace binds buildup in the gut and carries it out, and the fat and fluid that were holding it go with it.
Can she take it with her blood pressure pills?
Ask her doctor first and show them the label. Trace is zeolite with humic and fulvic minerals in a dropper.
How long before her shoes fit?
Barb's sock marks faded in week 2 and her ankle bones were back in week 4. Give it the full 60 days.
