Antiseptics != Antibiotics.
By similar application we mean completely injested so that it goes into your digestive system and/or bloodstream and selectively kills "bad" stuff only, even in low concentrations. That's what antibiotics do and that's what's so great about them.
Nobody uses bleach for that. Bleach and alcohol kill everything they touches at high enough concentrations and barely anything if it's too low.

I'm not claiming it is any kind of substitute for antibiotics. It's worth noting this in this context, because the mechanism the clay kills by is unknown. It maybe more similar to bleach and harmful to everything, or it maybe more targeted.
