2 weeks in, can't really blame anything on DE. Working 11 hrs a day, working a little less on the weekends. That probably overwhelms anything salutary. Come home exhausted. Am eating more, very hungry, gaining weight.

Still feeling energetic. I've cut back from two heaping ice tea spoons to one, because apparently more is not necessarily better and I'm still having a bit of a problem with constipation. For the most part I'm drinking more than enough fluids.

Day 4 up to measured teaspoon, have been clearing the sinuses, feeling more energy.
Feels like it elevates my temperature when its working.
Surprised how fast it appears to start working after taking, then levels off as the day continues.

Just wanted to chime in here.... I ordered the DE a week or 10 days ago. I haven't consumed any yet by mouth because I had some extensive dental surgery about two weeks ago and wanted to get over that before adding anything new. I'm fine now and about ready to begin with a small dose. Now here's the weird part. I have severe and chronic sinus infections caused by allergies (not uncommon here in Central Texas!). I was on antibiotics for three months last winter--three different antibiotics-- and the infection never cleared up. I do the sinus rinse thingy twice a day because I think it helps a lot. So while I was waiting to start the DE by mouth, I decided to put the DE in the sinus rinse water and see whether it would do anything by local application. And guess what I got--- more energy and less sinus infection!! I am amazed! I've been waking up in the morning NOT feeling like I've been run over by a truck. I can't even remember when I've felt like this in the morning.

Thank you, LeV and many others, for the contributions to this topic.

I'm usually freezing because of hypothyroid but I noticed the temperature difference early on. It's wonderful. :)

REGARDING CONSTIPATION

Do whatever seems best to you to stay unclogged.
Colon cleanse, milk of magnesia... Keep things moving. :p

I'm almost two weeks into this. The bloat thing wasn't fun, but a half gallon of prune juice & a package of prunes took care of that in a few days, & now that department is fine. Several little pains are gone & energy level is about the same as before the DE. No sign of parasites, but I had just finished a month on Old Amish Dewormer a few weeks before starting the DE, & they were already cleaned out.

There was an unusual pain in my right foot about a week ago, almost like a cramp, so I added a couple more magnesium capsules for a few days & it seems to be gone. I don't know if it was related to the DE or not.

I'm up to a rounded half tablespoon once a day.

I am curious.

when people say 1 teaspoon, is that a level teaspoon.

I ask because D/E can be heaped fairly high on the spoon, making it a tablespoon.

Also, I am now taking it by mixing in a glass spice bottle with water. Then down the hatch. Easy. I like easy.

I was taking two heaping iced tea spoons, but this morning I cut back to 1 heaping ice teaspoon, I may have been taking more than two tablespoons full.

We bought some cheap measuring spoons & we keep the teaspoon one in a Rubbermaid container of DE we keep in the pantry. We eyeball it but it's a level tspn - not heaping.

Look I am taking a tablespoon once a day. If you are trying to get rid of parasites and worms then you need more than a little flat teaspoon. You could be looking at two or three tablespoons spread over the day for say a month.

Once you are cleaned out which takes about three months then you can do as you want.

The thing that mainly interests me with DE is that it cleans the colon sidewalls. Two little intake is going to take forever. So the ammount you need to take is going to depend on your condition and what you are trying to achieve.

Make sure you get enough exercise and water while taking it to move it through your colon. A rebounder is the best way to go. Bounce, bounce your troubles away. I also take two mineral supplements as well as the DE. DE is hardly going to give you any minerals besides silica. Salts need to dissolve to get taken up. This means that they need to be in a salt form.

I am taking 2 tspns daily & will get up to a tablespoon eventually. I agree it must be cleaning colon walls like crazy...if it's doing this on 2 tspns, I'm scared to see what will happen with a tablespoon! LOL Feeling good so far & if there are any chopped up critters, I can't see them. I am definitely drinking more water than I think I ever have. Starting walking on treadmill Monday so adding in exercise.

What has to be remembered is that this DE is mechanical in action not chemical. However there is the fact that it attracts by electrical charge.

No two people are alike, some can take more, some can't.

If I take much more than a level teaspoon, the detox symptoms are too much to handle. For me, anyway, it's best to build up the dose as my system allows.

The goal will be reached, it just won't be reached as quickly with small to moderate doses. But, if it means not feeling terrible, I can wait for the results.

I'm having trouble following this detox stuff. Anyway taking a little clay powder should prevent detox problems. The only problem I can see is not drinking enough water and a lack of exercise to keep things moving through the colon.

DE is supposed to have a negative charge so it should bind toxins. Clay has a negative charge too and is very effective in binding toxins. Constipation is the thing to be avoided however. When I first started to take DE I noticed I needed to make sure I got enough water.

The other thing that might help during the first few months on DE is to go vegetarian. Get your protein from broccoli and nuts etc.

I cut back on the amount of DE I was taking and my constipation problem seems to have resolved itself, and I added more magnesieum. Not going to go completely vegetarian, because from trial and error through the years, my body needs a little animal protein. But that's just me.

Okay, I'm still only on page 12 of reading on this thread, but thought I would jump on board the DE wagon and just see what happens. Ordered it a three days ago and received it today from Amazon. Very surprised it came that quickly. Hubby and I just took our first dose. I made it only about 1/3 of a teaspoon. I'm hoping that it will help hubby's many health problems due to Lyme. I've also forwarded the info to my mom who has diabetes. I'm going to give her some of our DE so she can try it also.

I cut back on the amount I was taking and I have no energy, just dragging around. I'm going back to my two heaping ice tea spoons full instead of the one I cut back to this morning.

We haven't started on ours yet....will wait for all school sub jobs to cease.......can't afford to be dependent on bathrooms and keep a classroom in order!

DH has low blood pressure most of the time.......hope DE doesn't take it too low........I have low BP too....so we'll be careful and do it slowly as well....I'm really really hoping DE will help lessen DH tinnitus.......it's been such an aggravation and burdern........

fyi

psyllium can also be used to help move the DE through the gut.

for those who don't know what psyllium is, it comes from a plant whose seeds are used as a bulking agent in the intestines. It is not a food and is inert, not reacting with anything. The husk of the seed is normally what is used, but the whole seed (crushed or whole) is also used by some. Metamucils' (drug store otc) primary ingredent is psyllium. You can also buy psyllium in health food stores.

Product Details

The secret is its ionic!

There are plenty of cleansing products out there. But the secret behind pHion Ionic Colon Cleanse’s efficacy is its ionic nature.

“Ionic” simply means having an electrical charge. In the case of pHion Ionic Colon Cleanse, which features ionic bentonite (also called montmorillonite), we’re talking about a negative electrical charge. That’s exactly the kind of charge you want, because acids, toxins, and heavy metals have a positive charge. (And as you know, opposites attract!) So when you take pHion Ionic Colon Cleanse, the negatively charged bentonite pulls the positively charged impurities out of your colon…and removes them from your body.

Psyllium fiber, magnesium oxide, and laxative herbs remove waste material

Of course, being thorough types, we didn’t just include ionic bentonite in pHion Ionic Colon Cleanse. We also wanted to make sure that your elimination is regular, which helps prevent waste from impacting in the colon. Therefore, each serving of pHion Ionic Colon Cleanse provides a healthy dose of psyllium fiber, which creates the bulk in the intestines needed to support normal elimination. If you’re already taking a fiber supplement, just swap it out with pHion Ionic Colon Cleanse. With 3 grams of fiber per serving, it will help fulfill your daily fiber requirements.

Magnesium aids in cleansing by increasing hydration within your colon.10 This increased hydration helps soften and remove compacted, hardened fecal matter and waste.11

pH-ion Cleanze utilizes magnesium oxide, a special form of magnesium that is comprised of one atom of magnesium and one atom of oxygen, held together by an ionic bond. Magnesium oxide is well-documented to adsorb, or attract, hydrogen.12, 13, 14 Perhaps the reason magnesium oxide is such a good hydrator is that the oxygen contained within it combines with hydrogen in your intestinal tract to form water.

pHion Ionic Colon Cleanse also includes the laxative herbs senna and buckthorn bark, which stimulate peristalsis (the contractions of the intestine that move waste out of the body).

A special blend of herbs further rids the body of microforms

In order to achieve the most thorough Ionic Colon Cleanse, you need to do more than remove the years of accumulated acid products and waste material. If you really want to be thorough, you also have to get rid of the microforms that decided to make your colon their home.

The negatively charged bentonite contained within pHion Ionic Colon Cleanse attracts and binds through it's positive charge. Plus, the formula also includes a special blend of herbs, making it effective by design.

Voila! Optimal pH balance of the intestines is restored!

By cleansing your colon of acid, waste, and microforms, pHion Ionic Colon Cleanse stops the acid-producing cycle. It gives you a fresh start, restoring optimal pH balance to your gastro-intestinal tract.

Product Ingredients

Magnesium Oxide aids in cleansing by increasing hydration within your colon. This increased hydration helps soften and remove compacted, hardened fecal matter and waste.

Psyllium Fiber is a natural fiber that creates the needed bulk in the intestines to support normal elimination. Psyllium fiber works both ways to restore normal bowel function: If you suffer from constipation, it will make your stool softer; but if you have diarrhea, it will do the opposite.15

Ionic Bentonite contains a negative electrical charge that attracts positively charged acidic particles.

Cleansing Herbs

Senna Leaf and Buckthorn Bark are both laxative herbs that stimulate peristalsis (the contractions of the intestine that move waste out of the body).16

Goldenseal Root: Prized by Native American herbalists, goldenseal is used for the respiratory, vaginal, and gastro-intestinal tracts.17

Gentian Root: A classic "bitter" herb, gentian stimulates the secretion of gastric juices - promoting better digestion — and supports overall GI health.18

Fennel Seed: Fennel is a mild digestive herb with a sweet, licorice-like taste. It tonifies the stomach and helps relieve flatulence.19

Rose Hips: Not only are rose hips a concentrated source of vitamin C, they also help the body — including the GI tract — respond appropriately to inflammation.20

Barberry Root: Barberry is a blood purifying herb very similar in action to Oregon Grape root. It stimulates the flow of bile, which improves liver function. When the function of the liver is enhanced, it is better able to rid the blood of toxins.21

Cleansing your colon with pHion Ionic Colon Cleanse is like giving yourself an “internal shower,” purifying it from years of buildup.

I'm up to 1.5 teaspoons today; hoping to get to 1 TBsp by next weekend. Hubby and I continue to see good results. :)

DH and I have started taking 1/2 tbsp a day. The first evening I noticed a metallic taste for awhile, but it's gone. DH is coughing up some, but no more than usual, however the cough doesn't sound as tight. No increase in energy. No bathroom problems. We both take blood pressure meds, but haven't seen any problem with low bp. I think we'll continue this amount for a another week and then increase it to 1 tbsp daily and see what happens.

Earthworks can't ship the food grade DE to Texas due to the claim it kills bugs. They can ship their product with an EPA label, but that product shows 85% Silicon Dioxide whereas the food grade shows 89% Silicon Dioxide. Anyone know why this is different? I've emailed them, but haven't received a response yet. I did find another site, http://www.bulkherbstore.com/DEP?did_cmt=1#cmt. Anyone familiar with this site and their DE? Thanks.

There is a decent price for 10#s on ebay, although not in the nice gallon jugs. Not familiar with the bulk herb site.

An example of where some viruses hang out:


Clean up your toxic colon

A surprising little fact in research has shown that nearly 80% of the HIV virus is located in the digestive system, mainly in the small and large intestines.
For anyone who's a bit familiar with the workings of our bodies, that shouldn't come as a surprise. After all, the digestive tract from end to end is the main entry point of invasive microbes, and the intestines is where blood exchanges nutrients and waste products. Our immune defenses are mostly concentrated along the digestive tract and hence, HIV, which attacks the immune system, will be "hanging out" there too.

Another fact is that HIV, like other anaerobic viruses and bacteria, cannot live or reproduce in an extreme alkaline or acidic environment, or for that matter, in an oxygenated environment. By alkalizing your diet, you will be killing off HIV (and other microbes).

Detoxing the colon and small intestines will free up your immune defense resources to fight HIV. Here's a daily "beginners" routine for natural support for HIV/AIDS:


Vinegar Apple Cider Vinegar - or any vinegar 3 tablespoons a day. Or try vinegar enemas: 3 tablespoons in a liter of sterilized (boiled) water. Do the enema as often as once a day, but 3 times a week is also sufficient.

Garlic is a natural antibiotic, and taking 3 cloves a day, preferably raw, will do wonders for intestinal health.

Probiotics Support your immune system by regularly taking live yogurt, especially after you've been on a round of antibiotics.

Cultured Cabbage Juice Prepare a sterilized 1 or 2 liter glass jar or mason jar. Shred some cabbage and stuff as much as you can into the jar. Fill the jar with water and shut the lid on tight. Leave it outside the fridge. Wait 3 days. The cabbage should have a sour taste (not a rotten one - if prepared wrongly!). Drink 1/2 or 1 cup of the juice daily. Like yogurt, you can use 1/4 cup of the old batch as a starter for the next batch.

Coconut oil Research in the Philippines by Dr Conrato S Dayrit says "coconut oil does have an anti-viral effect and can beneficially reduce the viral load of HIV patients." Use it in daily cooking and take 6-12 tablespoons a day.

Psyllium husk fiber is an excellent bowel cleanser. Psyllium husk normalizes bowel movement and absorbs toxins as it passes through the intestines.

Water Drink plenty of water daily, 2-4 liters, in order to keep your digestive system working well.

Good nutrition plays a big part in fighting HIV. Eat well and eat fresh fruits and veggies to maximize micronutrient intake.

This is good information, I already do some of these things, gonna try some more.

On taking the garlic, does it have to be chewed or can it be sliced and swollowed whole? I put it in my food, but I know thats not the same.
