Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
my very uneducated guess is, its detox. because they come and go so quickly. it happens on the skin, why not in the mouth. I use de or clay to get rid of sores in my mouth after we eat out sometimes.

I agree with the pp, the link i gave you describes the eggs and names tapeworm. I too wonder about the beneficial bugs and de. i think on the sites where they talk about using it in the garden they mention to be mindful of the good bugs. Just off memory cause I havent had a garden yet to use it in, or else i would have all sorts of bookmarks for that for you, lol |

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
i am totally freaked out by reading this thread! we use DE in the yard, but I'd never heard of eating it.......does anyone know anything about DE and IBD? DH (and possibly DD1) have ulcerative colitis......could this help them, too?

earthworks-"The presence of sufficient silica in the intestines will reduce inflammation of the intestinal tract. It can cause disinfection in the case of stomach and intestinal mucus and ulcers. Silica can prevent or clear up diarrhea and its opposite, constipation." shirleyswellnesscafe-"Naturally absorbent and extremely gentle on the system, bentonite clay can treat various skin and internal ailments and attracts and neutralizes poisons in the intestinal tract. It can eliminate food allergies, food poisoning, mucus colitis, spastic colitis, viral infections, stomach flu, and parasites (parasites are unable to reproduce in the presence of clay). There is virtually no digestive disease that clay will not treat. It enriches and balances blood. It adsorbs radiation (think cell phones, microwaves, x-rays, TVs and irradiated food, for starters). It has been used for alcoholism, arthritis, cataracts, diabetic neuropathy, pain treatment, open wounds, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, stomach ulcers, animal and poisonous insect bites, acne, anemia, in fact, the list of uses is too long for this article. It was used during the Balkan war of 1910 to reduce mortality from cholera among the soldiers from sixty to three percent" Hopefully, someone can give you a first hand testimony though. ---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ---------- I've been sort of mulling over what ive been reading and what people have been saying like on the childrens vitamin thread(calcium), baby led feeding(enzymes), this de thread, and the poo thread(estrogen). So i googled to find the best explanation to explain how they all tie in together. "calcium is absorbed in small intestines. Not all calcium we consume will be absorbed. The amount of calcium absorbed is dependent on a number of factors such as the acidic condition in our intestines, Vitamin D level, estrogen level and the type of calcium supplement."healthkastle Then I found this: http://www.evolutionhealth.com/miner...deception.html way to much for me to copy and paste but basically speaks of why its silica not mineral calcium that is of value. Hooray for de! I hope if you buy calcium supplements or buy vitamins with calcium in it or have problems with your hormones or have joint problems you will take the time to read through the above and do some digging yourself. I found it super interesting I can now also say without reservation that not only do i notice a difference in my periods but also i no longer have joint pains or need the rheumatoid arthritis referral because of de. I never felt comfortable saying it was because of de before now because i had nothing but my word that it took it away. But i guess I just had to plug in the right words in the old google machine since Im not an expert on digestion, hormones, or bone formation |

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
This runs through my mind whenever I see the thread title:
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis! (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicosis for what I mean. Longest real word in the English language, if I recall correctly, or was at one time.) But seriously, y'all be careful with this stuff. Don't breathe it, okay? There's a real risk of permanent lung damage, especially with the DE that isn't food-grade. And it's an abrasive -- that's part of how it works on insects. (It also absorbs oils, so it dries out their waxy coating and causes them to dehydrate.) If I was getting mouth sores or stomach aches from consuming the stuff, I'd stop in a heartbeat... yikes! I wonder how much dirt we're biologically "supposed" to eat for good health? And what kinds? Not a rhetorical question -- I'm really curious! |

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
I was wondering about that myself... how fine is the powder? As a metal artist, it's been drilled into my head to exercise extreme caution with all silica containing products. Silicosis scares me.
However, I'm super intrigued. I bought some clay a year or two ago based on the thread here. I, um, never tried it. I wonder if it goes bad? Hmm. My DH and I both have different but definite digestive annoyances we'd love to solve. I'm like child-sized tho - seriously... 80 lbs... so you think I could get away with trying a small dose? Things skeeve me out easily, and I have a sensitive tummy.

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
It's almost as fine as baby powder. You would take a child-size dose

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
And just like baby powder we dont want to breath that in either,lol
My daughter is 8, weighs less than you, but still needs a heaping tablespoon. It really just depends on the persons individual needs. Start small and work up to the amount that you know is your amount for you |

If I make a past of the DE, will it help with a boil?

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
oh wow, i am so excited after reading this thread. The thought of parasites makes me ill but nobody seems to know how to get rid of them. Both me and my husband have digestive issues and I have strong food sensitivities. I would also enjoy losing a bit of weight and feeling more energetic/less down all the time!
I see people recommending a clay cleanse first? have never tried that but the clay baths have always intrigued me (altho they have been described to me as being sheer quakery....) So I just ordered some Earth's Living Clay to try out. Do I just mix with water and chug? Should I start out small and build up? Any experienced advice welcome |

Send a PM to "me" - she knows everything about clay and will happily create a personalized healing regimen just for you
Also if you want to learn the science behind how and why high-quality clay works to heal your body, read the book by Perry A. I forget the title now but it's probably available from the store where you bought your clay.

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
Ok, I've read about 12 of the 17 pages and I'm completely out of time to read more. How do you give this to a baby? I can put it in a "milkshake" for my bigger two but I'm confused about the baby (almost 1, 26 lbs).

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
I was going to say no Because I can't imagine how it would mix in without shaking and I've found you REALLY need to shake hard to get it to mix in. . . but I suppose you could shake it somehow
