Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
Howdies :)
Let's discuss. I am not the resident DE specialist, mama that goes by "me" is. But I'm starting a thread for edumacational purposes. So, I'll be back to post some general FAQ stuff, but I'd love for people to contribute on the following: --How do you take it? --What do you take it for and how's it working for you? --How do you give it to kids? --Where do you get it and how much of it, and how much it costs? :) |

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
This link has a video that's helpful: http://www.earthworkshealth.com/
more info:http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/defaq.html I've yet to use it internally, but I'm planning on doing it for the whole family. I *have* used it as an insecticide, and it works great. :) |

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
whoa... tell me about the use for leaky gut? I think dh has this.... or something similar.
|
Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
Well probably the best thing DE is good for is making beautiful poo. :shifty Whether you have leaky gut or need more regularity it helps. My mom had leaky gut so bad she had to wear Depends and this really helped her too.

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
So how are you taking it? how much? how many times a day?
dh really has issue's here. |
Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
For a big issue, I would probably take 2 TBSP working up to that dose. If you want to be more conservative, try 1 TBSP. IIUC silica that isn't used by the body is just excreted.

Also, getting rid of parasites can help with night terrors/nightmares, restlessness/tired when waking up, and joint pain. From the little I've read, I'm convinced it's a GREAT thing. I recently added a handful of it to all my stored foods to keep away mites. We are using it in the garden for fertilizer and pest control. I'm also giving it to the dog because I've read that if one person in the family cleanses, then everyone needs to, including pets. Quote:

go ahead with it, I'm planning on giving her a bunch (might use up the rest of our bag). Right now we're doing a 90 day DE cleanse as a whole family. And we are pooping like crazy!!! :shifty ---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ---------- Oh, and a question I have. Does anyone know if it settles in the gut and can block absorbtion of things in cattle? I know in humans, if one takes too much, the body will just eliminate it. But the lady with our steer is all worried that it will collect in the cow's gut, and that he won't get fattened up as well because of it. :think I need links too. She won't believe me if I say "my online friend said____". :giggle |
Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)

We've been taking it irregularly for three weeks and are already seeing improvement. (I can't believe how much easier diaper changes are when my daughter has a solid stool! :rockon) I plan to start a stricter regimen next month. I was really reluctant to try it given that I'd read that it "slices and dices" bacteria in the gut. After further investigation I reached the conclusion that "slicing and dicing" cannot be what makes the DE effective. Quote:
