HEALTH RESULTS OF 4 MONTHS TAKING DIATOMACEOUS EARTH (From April 2013)

stormie said:

I stopped taking DE for a few years. Started taking it again a couple of months ago for detox. My nails grew faster and got thicker. Hoping that's an outward sign of inward strengthing of bones.

Years ago my 2 year old Lab was cured of degenerative joint disease after 3 months when I gave him DE in his food. Definitely good stuff!

I've started taking it again in hopes it will help my lack of energy. I'm rereading the thread, its going to take awhile.

How often do you take it? I'm also taking it with ACV.

God is good all the time

I take it every night dpart of my vitamin routine. about 2 teaspoon of DE and 2 teaspoon of metamucil in about 40z of water... nice little dream-cycle flavor before I go to bed

I take it every day for 30 days 1 1/2 to 2 tsp in yogurt for detox. Then most every day as I remember to.

I have a friend with Lupus that took DE daily and her symptoms abated as long as she used it.

Started again on July 1st. after finally determining what was causing an itchy rash on my right lower leg. I thought it might be Candidia, reaction to peanuts, chocolate, poison ivy etc. By the process of elimination (DE being the last option); I finally realized it was the DE causing it. So I assume this is a "healing crisis" as listed in this long, long thread... So i"m going to stay on it for 90 days.

The first time I took it (way back when I read about it here), I got to see critters coming out of both ends! I coughed up a white spherical something and lost it in the grass before I could really study it. I was on the lawnmower at the time. So it definitely gets out the undesirables....

wow I still take DE dailly in my "drinkable" vits.. all the B complexes and the Multi liquids vits including eye support. but I only take 1/2 tsp.. seems to be more then enough, as y hair is thick and natually colored, (no more hair dye) and I just have a few silver glitters on the edge above my ears.

I take 40,000 IU of D3 with K2 (and totally stopped ALL vertigo!

I take beet juice either liquid or pill blood pressure
1000unit Cinnomon- blood sugar
100- Aswager (sp)-anti anxiety to help sleep and Insulin resistance
some indian herb-for BP
potassium
mag Taurate ..stops migraines and leg cramps
milk thistle for liver

then I have a night time protocal helping me sleep deeply and get my insuline and blood sugar in control

What made you go so high on D3, I take 10,000 daily but am willing to go higher. What do you take for eye support, I've been taking Bilberry for a couple of weeks and my vision seems to be sharper.

I take all of my supplements at night, which may be wrong. And I take a boat load, they do not keep me from sleeping.

Judy. I was having extremely high BP like close to 200 over 97 consistintly... and also having verigo I never had before. so don;t know if the BP caused the vertigo or just anxiety...

any way was bound and determined to find a natural way to lower BP and in the corse of studying and researching BP.. I hit a video and the guy with the dr said it was so bad if he laid down the ceiling would spin. when I paid attention and the dr said he put the guy on maga doses of d3 with vitk2 and it caunt hurt unless you stay on it for yrs.... (I'll find the video and post here.) anyway from the 1st dose .. the vertigo never came back!!! and after 3 months on natural BP protocols, I am consistently 120's over 70's or low 80's.!!!!!

Thanks I ordered the eye vitamins/multi vitamin. I need a good multi vitamin. Multis usually repeat on my badly so I end up not taking them.

I do take K2, it seems to be a wonder drug.

I'll watch the video and let you know what I think about it. My blood pressure has always been 110/70 but as of late, especially when I go to the doctor, it creeps up. so I'd really like to have it low when I go there.

I get on vitamin kicks and that is generic term for me and includes this stuffs, still hate trying to spell it, and apple cider vinegar and other stuff some people might not consider "vitamin".

Over time I get to where I feel like stuff is not working and/or I forget more than normal one day every couple weeks or so when schedule is all wonky.

So stopping for a bit clears things out and it is about like not having a real soda pop for a month or 30 and then having a can of real mountain dew. In one sitting.

Lately I stopped the soda pop but like my black coffee. Tend to not have it on weekends this go round so that has helped during the weeks more.

I need to actually go through this thread again I guess, glad it is here and while I have posted the above before it has been a year or three probably.

I love Dr. Berg! I started taking the vitamin d and k2 for other reasons but getting rid of vertigo was the best thing! Dr. Berg and Dr. Mandel on YouTube are wonderful!

I also go off all vits and suppliments for weeks to months once I feel stabilized... I think we need to rest from all things like this every once in a while.

Around the middle of page 1 its talking about viruses, I'm wondering if DE might help protect you from the rona. Just saying.

I do that too.

I've taken DE for three days, sometimes twice a day and sometimes only once. I take it with ACV and a little water, its quite a feet to get that down, but I soldier on with it.

One thing I've noticed is that the largest liver spot on my face is deminishing, not that the whole spot is fading, but there are a couple of parts of it that have completely disappeared. This same thing happened when I was taking DE several years ago, but when I stopped taking it the whole thing came back, but not as dark in spots as before.

so my thinking is the DE must have a good effect on the liver.

Has anyone taken DE for covid? Had covid and taken DE to get rid of it successfully?

Are you thinking that because DE and ivermectin both kill parasites?

I can’t imagine anyone taking only DE to get rid of Covid. I’m sure you’d throw everything you had at it.

it’s a mouth full but it works!!

Soooo... stepdaughter gets covid (delta variant ) and is housebound for 10 days. She caught it from a guy who was vaccinated. Pretty sick. She is not vaccinated, none of us are. Spouse and myself catch it from her. Symptons started last wednesday. Its a bad flu imo.

Tired, fever, cough, fuzzy head, sore throat.... we are taking vit d3, C, etc... dawned on me today to restart taking DE. Which i did a couple hours ago. Im still not feeling great but will provide feedback on any improvements. Maybe it will help someone. Be Blessed.

Sorry forgot to add DE apparently kills viruses, parasites, etc... lets see what happens. At the least my antibodies will be supercharged.

I was wondering about this and glad you brought it up. Interesting.

Its almost two weeks since I started taking it again. I take it with vinegar and water, the vinegar makes it hard to get down, but I do it. I've only been taking it once a day. My energy level does seem to be better, I'm not just overwhelmed with being tired. Still tired, but not as bad. I'll keep it up.

I would not use DE for C19. It doesn't go through the bloodstream, just the digestive system.
Ivermecton or Doxycycline, imho, will.

My brother flew to Africa last December (82 years old) Flew into 3 continents, visited 4 major cities in Kenya, .. rode a few matatus, and came home well after a little over a month.
Before the trip his doctor put him on Doxycycline.

Very interesting article below, particularly the last paragraph.

Doctors Kill Parasitic Worms By Poisoning the Bacteria in Their Innards

In some African villages, nearly everyone is infected with Mansonella perstans, a parasitic worm that's remarkably hard to kill. It's resistant to standard anti-worm medications, but researchers have learned that an old antibiotic can vanquish the tiny beasts — in a roundabout way.

The parasites are stuffed with a type of bacteria called wolbachia, and apparently they depend upon those microbes for their own survival. By killing the bacteria inside of the worms, doctors can destroy the worms themselves.

To test that concept, an international team recruited volunteers with M. perstans infections from four villages in Mali, and gave 69 of them a dose of doxycycline each day. After one year, all but two of the patients who took the antibiotic were free from worms in their blood.

"Doxycycline is the first drug that has been shown to be effective in clearing Mansonella perstans parasites from the blood of infected people," said Amy Klion, a doctor at the National Institutes of Health who led the study. "The fact that the parasites were not detectable in the blood 3 years after the 6 week treatment suggests that doxycycline also had an

effect on the adult worms, which live in the tissues surrounding the lungs, heart and abdomen."

Roughly 120 million people worldwide are infected with filarial parasites. Many of those worms will fall after a single dose of albendazole and ivermectin, but M. Perstans is too tough for both drugs. Thankfully, it's far less destructive than other types of nematodes. It usually results in itching, fatigue, and dermatitis.

Wolbachia have proven to be the Achilles' heel of nastier parasites too. Before Klion and her team showed that doxycycline can be used to treat the annoying worm infections, other doctors learned that it is an effective way to eliminate their nasty cousins, the parasites that cause elephantiasis and river blindness. Doctors Kill Parasitic Worms By Poisoning the Bacteria in Their Innards

Weekly Dose: doxycycline treats a host of human plagues, but it won't work forever Doxycycline continues to exert its effects for some time after being taken. This means it can be used not only as treatment, but also for prevention or “prophylaxis”.

Its most widespread use as prophylaxis is for tourists and other travellers (such as military personnel) going to tropical countries where it is used to protect primarily against malaria. It may also provide additional protection from common bacterial causes of diarrhoea.

To be effective in preventing infection, it needs to be taken once a day during the time the person is at risk. Doxycycline is also active against a number of bacteria that could possibly be used as agents of “germ” warfare. This included, most notably, anthrax. So it could be used as prophylaxis in military or other populations thought to be at risk of bio-warfare or following release of anthrax into the environment by terrorists.

Spent many months on Doxy on my mil trips to such places. It was primarily for anti-malaria since they had restrictions on what us aircrew could take.

100mg a day continuous as long as we were gone and another two weeks after we got home.

Aside from using DE when brushing my teeth, which has repaired my receding gums due to smoking, (I keep a shot glass full of DE on my bathroom sink - wet the toothbrush, squeeze on the paste, dunk the brush in the DE and brush), it's also good for HAIR LOSS. We were in a discussion over on the Q thread about some people who have taken the jab and are now experiencing hair loss. Several members recommended Biotin. I suggested DE.

When I was drinking it, (1 Tablespoon mixed with a shot glass of water - yea....I like to get it down in one gulp), not only were my hair and nails growing but I had an amazing amount of energy for the day. Mind you, I would do the 'gulp' before 8 am.

I also used it on my dog's coats as flea and tic killer and it really worked! Nary a flea or a tic on them in the 5 years I was using it. Mind you, every time they'd plop down to sleep...POOF! a big white cloud of DE would rise off them when they'd hit the floor, but I didn't mind. Strange thing is though, as we've read, DE enhances hair growth, (as well as nails), but by the end of that first year using the DE on them, I noticed their coats were much fuller, shinier, and it reduced all the shedding by 80%.

DE has great mineral content—I would guess silica?? I haven’t used it for years but I’m thinking it’s about time to put it back in my supplement routine. Thanks for the reminder BE

I really need to get back on this, since covid my hair has broken off and fallen out, I just had to get about 8 inches cut off. And my gums could use some help too.

DE is dehydrating.
The c19 is an assault on the blood.

I've stopped taking it since the covid started, and decided it's best to build the blood volume by
putting coconut water in drinking water (potassium), and sprinkling a glass or two of water with salt.

Also hydrate with fruits and vegetables. Fresh pineapple and a stalk of celery in a blender of water.

Brushing teeth with it is okay. My opinion.

Bookmark.

I've been taking collegan for my hair, and brushing my teeth with DE, working well for that. I may start taking it internally again now that I'm past covid and drinking plenty of water.

I need something to give me energy.

Have been taking DE internally daily for a month now. Noticing differences.
I haven't been sweating, and my skin is less greasy feeling. Gas has been reduced dramatically. Finger and toenails look healthy again, they went downhill the last few years.
Tried using it as a mouth wash and brushing with it, big difference almost immediately, I think my gums are growing back, and my teeth hurt much less. Ordered some more today.

Click to expand...

how much and when are you taking it. I second on the teeth brushing.

About a tablespoon mixed in with psyllium husk powder, activated charcoal, and a tiny pinch of borax. Usually after breakfast or lunch, whichever is the larger meal.
Have additionally taken the same as above but in the evening on an empty stomach, as I try to increase my dose.
Last few nights I've used a mouth wash of a small amount with water and swished it around in my mouth for several minutes.

I started taking DE again about a month ago as well. Reason being, I'm struggling from sciatica and a bit of degenerative bone disease in my back. I can tell the pain is less since taking it, and flair ups are less frequent. When the topic of DE first came up here years ago I used it to clear out parasites since I had traveled out of country a few times prior. Pretty sure it did the job at time.

But what made me start taking it again recently is because back then I had a male Labrador retriever that had hip and elbow dysplasia with degenerative bone disease in his back. He was only 2 yrs old at the time. I gave him DE every day in his food and after a month or so he was up and running again and never had a problem with hip or elbow pain again. He and my other dogs got DE in there food the rest of their lives because of how well it healed him. He lived a long happy healthy life as strong as ever. So I figured since it helped my Lab then maybe it would help me in the same way.

DE, has been a staple for me and mine(dogs, chickens, and goats included) since 2012.

We keep the food grade in a container near the coffee pot. And still put a teaspoon in our coffee now and then. Animals get it in their feed most months.

I never thought about putting it in my coffee, I already put collegan in it.

Diatomaceous Earth routine. After trying HCQ for an autoimmune condition and ivermectin to treat brief flu symptoms and experiencing improved health, I decided to try treating for parasites with IVM. I forgot exactly how long with the IVM, but it was 3-4 ml. of liquid per day, over 2 months or so. I felt great. But stopped with the IVM because it felt long enough.

I’ve been curious about DE for parasites and adding silica to my diet. So I began a more serious effort of drinking some everyday, than my last foray into DE.

Had a couple false starts with it. Didn’t hydrate enough, waste elimination was slow. Began mixing a teaspoon in psyllium husk and water. One of the Fb groups for DE said to take activated charcoal along with milk thistle to help with waste removal. That made a big difference for me.

Maybe a week or ten days into it, I worked up to a heaping teaspoon first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, have breakfast, supplements and medication, then after lunch have another teaspoon combined with a teaspoon of activated charcoal.

The DE and AC combine felt great in the hour or two after, it was like refreshing. It also helped with waste and toxin elimination, in my opinion.

As the days went on I increased my DE to a tablespoon or more but kept the AC teaspoon the same.

During this time, I drank at least half my body weight in ounces of water every day.

Maybe a month ago, boron/Borax was added with DE/AC mixture. I made a small jar of DE/AC and added a couple teaspoons of Borax to that. Experience tells me the DE/AC/Bor mix only needs to be taken two or three days a week. Can definitely feel the detox of inflammation and who knows what else with the Bor.

But I still do the DE/AC every afternoon if possible.

Right now I’m up to 1 heaping tablespoons of DE 4 times a day, and I try to do it after eating, but not always. They say there’s better uptake of silica during digestion, and it’s catching any parasites trying to feed.

If you are on Fb, look for the two big Diatomaceous Earth groups. There’s a ton of good info (or maybe not) and experience there.

What have I noticed improving? Feet and hands hurt less, less often, and for less time. General aches and pains are less or gone. It’s easy to get up and move without a lot of effort or thought. Gastrointestinal issues continue to be reduced or in remission. Have lost weight, noticeably.

Inflammation or puffiness has been reduced or gone. Finger nails and hair are growing faster. Nails look really healthy, same with toes, softer and easier to trim. Coughing less, seem to breathe a little easier, waking up after a night sleep. It seems like I’m able to build and retain muscle again. I sweat less, my body temperature seems better regulated. Craving food and coffee less. Bags under eyes look way better. People say I look like I’m feeling well. Feels like there is more blood flow to fingers and toes.

You have to find your own regimen and tolerances. I’m sure there’s plenty of info on this thread and the Fb groups that can help you get started and keep going. And a big thing to keeping going is staying hydrated and keep the waste elimination pathways flowing.

If you go to some of these groups, a lot of people are checking their stool for parasites. I did some at first and noticed something one time. As I understand it, a lot of the parasites are microscopic.

Low and slow, it’s a long process, it’s not a weekend or week long cleanse. It can be.

I’ve sprinkled it in my soup, on the inside of my omelet, and put it in my coffee with cream and sugar. But I find I enjoy chugging down a spoon-full in a big glass of water.

Most nights I use it as a mouth wash and rinse, then take a small amount with water and brush my teeth with toothpaste like normal. My tongue is pink and clean now.

At this point, I’m planning to double what I’m taking now over the next few weeks, up to 7 or 8 tablespoons per day. Even bought a five pound bag of the stuff.

That’s it for the most part. Low and slow, find your tolerances, read other’s experiences and routines. Stick with it if you can.

greysage, you have some really good suggestions. I was taking a heaping tsp in the morning in my coffee. I stopped about a week ago and am ready to get back on it. I like your suggestions on waste elemination, that's kind of an issue with me. Plus I haven't taken any of my supplements in a couple of months and I need to get back to them. My PCP said I probably don't need them, I mostly disagree with her when it comes to something alternative. I've never said anything to here about taking DE.

thanks again for your input.

So I guess I've been taking it regularly since October. I recently increased the amount to about twice as much as I had been taking. I'm noticing curious things in my poop. I must be filled with them.

There is a fb page on DE, and most people on there take it several times a day. I haven't read back far enough to see why.

I'm doing better on what I am taking, some more energy, which is why I started taking it again.

This is fascinating stuff!! I would like to try it but I am afraid of what I would do it I saw parasites exiting my body in places described in the first post!!! I know I would faint and have a heart attack!!! Wow that is scary! I do sometimes wonder if I have parasites just because of problems I have though. Do I dare try??

Ok...
the first thing most of us experienced was feeling like a slight fever for about 24 hours, and thirsty.
WATER is essential, lots of it. You will be detoxing years of stored heavy metals... from aluminum, mercury, lead, cadmium, et al.. and after a few days you may cough up some of it. You'll know by a strong metal taste.

Anything you cough up, be sure to spit it out. I coughed up metallic tasting stuff for about 7 weeks or so. Terrible experience, but definitely not the worst.

Tomorrow (because its almost 1am here) I'll tell what happened to myself and a couple of the others.

I hate loading this thread with so much all at once, but want the people here to know about this. It may be important to the future.
