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

[LeViolinist]

I will start taking DE again - but are you saying that a tsp once a day is enough? I felt it was but wasn't sure.
Thanks for a response to my question.

The DE really works, and detox from a lifetime accumulation can be daunting, even painful.
Start with a teaspoon for a few days, work up to a Tablespoon, and if you're doing okay, stay on that.
I wanted the process to speed up, so I began taking 2 Tb a day, but backed off with the detox symptoms.

A- and R- and T- are all three 6'3"-6'4" big guys, and they would naturally do well on a 1 Tablespoon dose, maybe 2xs a day.

For myself, now that I'm well into 4 months, a teaspoon is enough for a daily dose, continuing a slow detoxification of a lifetime of accumulation of lead, mercury, cadmium, aluminum, and swamp gasses.

Even though I'm breathing really well without medication now, I'm still coughing up stuff, and cleaning out. I still have floaters in my eyes, and won't quit that teaspoon until they're gone.

LeV....can you or someone describe this exodus of parasites. I know its gross, but this is my hangup. Is is expelled via fecal matter? You mentioned friends having a worm in thier belly button and nose. I could stomach the feces portion but the idea of parasites exiting other area of my body....i would go mental.

So my question is could you detail this for me, via pm if needed if you feel its too graphic. Thanks in advance

What happened to D.

Two weeks BEFORE she discovered DE, a naturapath put her on a HERBAL Parasite combination that causes parasites to evacuate the nearest exit, ... a RADICAL cleanse... then her cousin suggested the DE and slowed down the stampede to a tolerable level.

She called me every day, and the emotional trauma is probably much worse than the physical detox.
She has identified 4 different types of parasite, and there was probably more, but too small to see.

They came out of her skin, via surface sores near the rectum, the colon, gobs seen in urine... she described the nose ones as smallish and white.
The bellybutton one, she won't describe, ... just cries. The amount has significantly lessened, but she is still seeing them, and has bought two 50 pound bags of PermaGuard and doesn't ever want to be without it again.

From what I've read and experienced, DE won't cause a mass exodus,.. it cuts and irritates the beasties, then dehydrates them.. I have read that eating lots of fresh pinapple and papaya, and enzymes will help further digest them in the colon, so you may not even see them.

Another way to help yourself, would be to eat mostly fresh wholesome food during the months of cleansing. Parasites thrive on sugar and heavy meat eaters.

HOw does one know if they have parasites?

It's probable that most people do. Many things we perhaps don't think of as a parasite, is... like malaria. Malaria is a bloodborne parasite. Yeast is a type of parasite. HPhylori that causes ulcers is a parasite. Bacteria is a form of parasite... so is cancer... all these things need a host.

Here's an interesting article. Sorry, I don't have the link, and not the full article either.

Eliminating The Parasites That You Almost Certainly Have, and Curing Lupus Written by Thomas Corriher
Tuesday, 24 November 2009

Parasites have far surpassed epidemic levels in the United States, with most sources estimating that a massive 85% of Americans have parasitic infections.

Because of this, we recommend a parasite cleanse every six months, care in choosing restaurants, and cleaning up after exposure to animals.

Unfortunately, most conventional doctors are not trained in the treatment of parasites. It is only when parasites are visually seen that American doctors will suspect them, which requires a horrific case.

There are many symptoms of parasites that people express in daily life, believing that these are completely normal. While sickness has become normal in the modern lifestyle, it does not have to be.

The amount of damage that can be caused by parasites is virtually limitless, because many are small enough to travel anywhere in the body through the bloodstream. They exist by robbing the body of nutrients.

Parasites are the root cause of Lupus, with all other symptoms being secondary to the parasitic infection. Therefore, Lupus cannot be cured without a parasite cleanse.

Of course, Lupus is said to be just another "incurable disease" and an "autoimmune disorder", according to the conventional doctors.

Identifying The Different Parasites


Roundworms - Living in the stomach and intestines, these worms enter through undercooked and contaminated food. Remember that the manure which is used in farming may be contaminated with worms. Always wash your hands after dealing with pets, or their feces.

Heartworms - It is extremely rare for these to occur in humans. In the few cases which have been seen, they usually occur as a single worm in the lungs, rather than the heart. They cannot be spread through from one animal (or human) to another, but must be spread through mosquitoes.
Tapeworms - Enter the body through undercooked beef, fish or pork. They live in the lower intestinal tract. Use gloves and wash thoroughly after preparing meat for consumption.

Pinworms - Living in the intestinal tracts and lungs, these small white worms come out at night to lay eggs around the anus. The eggs hatch and the worms reenter through the anus. If the human scratches during this time, the eggs lay under the fingernails, spreading to wherever the person touches. It is believed that they are small and lightweight enough to become airborne, leading people to inhale them. This is how they can live inside the lungs. Perhaps smoking does have a benefit, after all.

Hookworms and Threadworms - These can be found in contaminated drinking water, or they can enter directly through the feet. They are tiny in size, and can enter through the soles of the feet, even without any open wounds. Always wear shoes when walking outside. These worms are unique because they have a lifespan of several years, and the eggs can incubate for up to 10 years.
Symptoms of Parasite Infection

Repeated diarrhea or constipation
Chronic, unexplained nausea, often accompanied by vomiting
Fatigue and weakness
Intestinal cramping
Unexplained dizziness
Foul-smelling gas
Indigestion
Bloating
Multiple food allergies
Loss of appetite
Itching around the anus, especially at night
Difficulty sleeping
Difficulty maintaining a healthy weight (over or underweight)
Itching on the soles of the feet, often accompanied by a rash
Coughing blood (severe cases)
Palpitations (Hookworms)
Anemia
Facial swelling around the eyes (roundworms)
Wheezing and coughing, followed by vomiting, stomach pain and bloating (suggesting roundworms or threadworms)
Treatment Options


If a conventional doctor believes that you have parasites, he will prescribe you an anti-parasitic pharmaceutical. These pharmaceuticals are always toxic, for it is their toxicity that kills parasites.

Thus, swelling of the lymph nodes, hands and feet are common, whilst vision problems, lack of coordination, and convulsions can also occur. Diarrhea is typical with these drugs.

Diatomaceous earth is the best natural anti-parasitic medication. It is actually an all-natural pesticide which does not harm humans or pets. It is believed to kill insects, worms and parasites by dehydrating them.

When used on ants, it usually takes around 20 minutes before they are all dead.((((from LEV,, I don't agree at all with the 7 day statement, because it isn't true for myself or any of the people I've been writing about. ONE tapeworm lays a million eggs a day...they hatch over and over...this is a L O N G process)))) One tablespoon of diatomaceaous earth taken by an adult once a day for seven days is believed to be extremely effective at killing all parasites.

Excellent Article about DE and Toxic Metals


http://www.diatomitecanada.com/fossil-shell-flour-diatomaceous-earth.htm
BENEFITS OF FOOD GRADE FOSSIL SHELL FLOUR DIATOMACEOUS EARTH

Diatomaceous earth (DE) Fossil Shell Flour has been reported in scientific literature to absorb methyl mercury, E. coli, endotoxins, viruses (including poliovirus), organophosphate pesticide residues, drug residues, and protein, perhaps even the proteinaceous toxins produced by some intestinal infections.

Pyrethroid insecticide residues probably also bind to diatomaceous earth, since pyrethrins from Chrysanthemum flowers bind to and are stabilized by this material. The only brand of pure DE currently recommended is from Perma Guard. Perma Guard’s Fossil Shell Flour has been approved by the FDA (as a 2% by dry weight food additive, as an anti-caking agent, or as a grain storage additive).

Perma Guard™ Fossil Shell Flour is amorphous (non-crystalline) and is Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS), but as an extra safety precaution the dust should not be inhaled.

Since it appears to pass inertly through the digestive tract, releasing only a few trace minerals, decide for yourself what dose works well, bearing in mind that taking large amounts my have some very uncomfortable effects.

“Detox”-ing one’s system too quickly might not allow enough time for one’s metabolism to re-balance, creating discomfort known as “healing crisis”.

This discomfort may be nothing more than inflammation caused by a REAWAKENING immune system as it detoxifies and begins to attack previously unaddressed chronic infections.

Working up the amount slowly from about a teaspoon to a rounded tablespoon over a few days or weeks may help to avoid this situation. A heaping tablespoonful, as much as we recommend, in water before bed or first thing in the morning, if one doesn’t normally eat an early breakfast, will allow the Fossil Shell Flour DE time to move through and absorb toxins from one’s digestive tract without interference and without absorbing nutrients from foods or liquids.

Microscopic live cell analysis of blood taken from individuals who have detoxed for many months produced no evidence that this particular diatomaceous earth ever makes its way intact into the blood. Also, hair analysis of these individuals displayed normal or even slightly low amounts of silica.

This evidence, combined with a very low trace and toxic mineral content (usually ppm), supports the concept that DE Fossil Shell Flour removes toxins that poison the immune and regulatory functions, instead of adding trace minerals that support these processes in the body, as was once thought.

TOXIC METAL exposure is a serious problem in the ecosystem worldwide, and elements such as mercury, uranium, plutonium, cadmium, bismuth, nickel, silver, and even gold, platinum, and palladium are all suspected of being problematic for the immune system and of causing a wide spectrum of disease symptoms also the use of so-called “depleted uranium” weapons in armed conflicts is suspected of contributing an array of health problems.

Nickel is present in all sorts of personal items, from eye-glass frames, the backs of watches, and jewelry to the change we carry around in our pockets. Nickel-containing under wires and the hooks and fasteners in bras my contribute to the 125-fold greater risk of breast cancer in women wearing bras 24 hours a day, compared to those who do not wear bras.

Iron supplements much higher than the 10 mg/day recommended for men and post-menopausal women (18 mg/day for pre-menopausal women) can cause serious health problems, including colon cancer.

Mercury toxicity? - is one of the most difficult to answer, because mercury attacks the body in so many ways.
Mercury kills cells by interfering with their ability to exchange oxygen, nutrients, and waste products through the cell membrane. Inside the cell, mercury destroys our genetic code, DNA, leaving us without the ability to reproduce that cell ever again. Chronic fatigue syndrome also has a mercury component.

Amalgam is the generic term for the most commonly used dental filling in the world, silver-mercury amalgam. Amalgam is a mixture of mercury, silver, copper, tin, and zinc. Mercury comprises the largest portion (around 50 percent).

What happens to mercury when it comes out of a filling? Mercury is highly reactive chemically. In the mouth, mercury has the ability to combine with a carbon-hydrogen compound called a methyl group. Methyl mercury is 100 times more toxic than plain, elemental mercury. It is especially toxic to the brain and nerve tissue, which may explain amalgam's relationship to MS, epilepsy, and emotional disturbances.

Mercury does come out of fillings; it does produce a toxic compound that is given off as the fillings corrode; and enough of this substance does form to cause disease. This by itself should make us pretty sure it can cause a health problem. If 100,000 of the 140,000 dentists in the United States place nine fillings per day each - about three hours' worth of work - that is 900,000 mercury fillings per day.

90.2 percent of us are reactive to mercury. What sort of reaction should we expect? The ways in which mercury attacks the body can be identified in five categories. The categories are: neurological, cardiovascular, collagen, immunological, and miscellaneous.

Neurological problems encompass two divisions, motor and sensory. An example of motor problems would be tremors, while sensory might be brainfog (spaciness), short-term memory problems, or depression.

The percentages of patients exhibiting these mercury-caused problems are: depression, 73.3 percent; numb fingers or toes, 67.3 percent; memory problems, 58.0 percent; and jitteriness or nervousness, 38.1 percent.

As with many aspects of mercury toxicity, the term "unexplained" precedes the names of specific mercury-induced cardiovascular symptoms. Heart attacks have a specific cause. Mercury-caused problems are elusive. The percentages I have found are: unexplained chest pains, 35.6 percent, and unexplained tachycardia, 32.4 percent.

The most common problem in the collagen category is arthritis. Constant or frequent pain in the joints constitutes 35.5 percent of the symptoms in this category.

Immunological disorders are probably the most significant category, as shown by studies done in laboratory on over 3,500 people. Over 90 percent of these people demonstrated immune reactivity. This is most often seen in what are called autoimmune diseases, or diseases in which the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. Examples of autoimmune diseases include MS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease), lupus erythematosus, diabetes, certain types of arthritis, and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).

The miscellaneous category gets crowded.

Some of the symptoms include:

frequent urination, 64.5 percent;

chronic fatigue, 63.1 percent;

bloated feeling after eating, 60.6 percent;

recurring constipation, 54.6

percent; ringing in the ears, 47.8 percent;

metallic taste in the mouth, 38.7 percent;

suicidal thoughts, 37.3 percent;

and headaches after eating, 20.1 percent.


The miscellaneous category also includes allergies. Many of today's food and airborne allergies seem to show a correlation between placement of fillings and the onset of these allergies. With allergies, just removing the offending fillings, unfortunately, does not bring about an alleviation of symptoms.

What if mercury is present? The bloodstream is the primary avenue for mercury to enter and exit the body. Recent dental journal articles show that there is a relationship between blood levels of mercury and the number of silver-mercury fillings present in the mouth. Researched and published articles show that at autopsy, people's brain levels of mercury corresponded with the number of silver fillings in their mouths."

Calcium. Bone density is controlled by the minerals, magnesium and manganese. Because both calcium and magnesium activate the process that begins the production of energy, and because calcium is necessary for the absorption of magnesium, it is easy to understand that the proper amount of biologically active calcium at the cellular level is necessary for you to have a good energy level.


Manganese:
Helps to control the glucose level
Aids in the calcification of teeth
Works with magnesium to prevent muscle cramping
Aids in the development of the inner and outer ear
Works with magnesium in the control of hyperkinetic and autistic behavior in children
Aids in nerve impulse transmission
Helps prevent tingling and numbness in the limbs
Works with zinc in the prevention of birth defects

The action of manganese is blocked by mercury
Mercury. Although amalgams are the biggest source of exposure to mercury, they are not the only source. Probably the greatest dietary source of mercury is tuna. This is followed closely by shellfish like lobster and shrimp. As a rule, the larger the fish, the greater the amount of mercury it contains. As you have probably realized by now, any amount of mercury in the diet can be considered too much.

Zinc. Zinc is essential in the activation of over 80 percent of the body's enzyme systems. Perhaps one of its most important functions is in helping to control glucose levels. It is also important I the growth of bone, and, along with magnesium, is vital in the healing process. Zinc is very important in the development of children. Keep this in mind during pregnancy if your dentist wants to place an amalgam. Mercury, by deactivating zinc, can contribute to birth defects. You should avoid sugar, alcohol, and caffeine if your zinc level is deficient, as is seen in so many mercury-toxic patients.

Magnesium. Where there is a lack of magnesium, there is also a higher potential for tooth decay, so as a means of controlling dental problems, magnesium is essential. Alcohol lowers magnesium levels.

Chromium. Low levels of chromium are found in patients who habitually eat large amounts of carbohydrates. A high intake of carbohydrates will lower chromium levels because chromium is necessary in the activation of insulin and is part of what is known as the glucose tolerance factor. Most people do not get sufficient amounts of chromium from the foods they eat It is necessary to be very strict about dietary control and taking supplementation.

Potassium. Nearly all medications and drugs will upset potassium metabolism. Potassium deficiency and / or contamination is characteristic of MS patients, and is the number-two deficiency in the periodontal patient."

"Some of the most common exposures to mercury come through foods, cosmetics, medications, household chemicals, gardening chemicals, and other items that contain high levels of mercury, as well as professions and industries in which people are exposed to mercury. You can see how many places mercury is used in our modern environment. It is impossible to avoid all sources."

Avoid exposure to toxic metal and other forms of toxins as much as possible, and consider using DE Fossil Shell Flour to detoxify, thereby helping to protect ourselves from the many harmful effects of unavoidable exposures.

Another avenue of toxic exposure comes from cooking and serving ware, such as when acidic foods, like tomatoes, come in contact with stainless steel.

Brightly colored, low-temperature-fired pottery and stainless steel alloys can contain toxic metal components that are capable of poisoning us when acidic foods leach toxins from the pots, pans, and flatware. Aluminum and other metal toxins are potential hazards in this regard, with possible connections to Alzheimer’s syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, and other associated problems.

Pottery (also GLASSWARE) that has been properly glazed and fired (such as crock pots, stoneware and porcelain), and untreated wooden and ceramic utensils provide safer alternatives than items containing toxic metals. TITANIUM also appears to be a safer alternative than other metals for cookware, eyeglass frames, jewelry, and other materials that contact our bodies, food, or water, but only when it is NOT alloyed with other toxins or carcinogens.

 

[RagingRay]

Thanks for this thread, I think it might be what I need. Going to a local heath food shop and see if they sell DE.

 

[Laurane]

My naturopath warned my DH who has lung problems, not to inhale the DE........it should only be taken orally and with food or water. Keep it away from children who might think it is something to eat........

But it will help just about anyone with health problems - he gave us some for parasites many years ago (we didn't know all the advantages then) and has some clients who have used it for years. I sent him this thread as he wanted to read the testimonials and maybe learn a bit more about its usage to help others.

Just an FYI

For anyone heading to the health food store to purchase DE. At our local health stores, they have it in the pet section. This is the food grade pure permaGuard brand. It is sold for pets but it is the clean stuff humans can use.

Thank you for posting the FYI. It answers my question about the DE I have for pets. I started taking mine this morning, and it dissolved easily in some water and I drank it with a straw. It was not bad at all. Now I count down the days and wait for improvement. I am so thankful for the information and work done by LeV!

 

[WisconsinGardener]

I just ordered some, too. I have heard that most people with Lyme disease also have parasites (yuck). I am better than I was a year ago!!! But am hopeful this will help, too.

will all the animals we go through a lot.

 

[nomifyle]

I ordered the four gallons, plus I already have some. Gonna start today. I hope it only comes out in my poop, because exiting from any other orifice is going to be disgusting. But I'm game because I believe when ocare goes into effect we are all going to be on our own. Thanks for all the information.

[Kook]

I can't wait to start taking this! I have traveled all over the world and God only knows what might come out of me! Hahahaha... Little clown cars of tapeworms and flukes?

Vess, that is an image that makes me laugh!

As for me, after reading this thread, I'm going to try some DE for myself. Kookette also has a hair loss problem, so she's chomping at the bit. Thanks to the OP and all contributors to the thread.

I agree with you Judy. I am similar in age, and I need to make myself as healthy and aware as I can. When you are alone, you learn to depend upon yourself, and I see the handwriting on the wall. I believe the DE post has come at an opportune time for many of us.

 

[hunybee]

Interesting thread, have Asthma now for over 56 yrs, few episodes of Pnuemonia and residual scarring, wonder if I can get this stuff in Australia
On a side note, as a fisherman, we have herring here, cobbler that just love worms, so can take this stuff and go fishing, kill two birds with One worm so to speak lol

that is NASTY

but i did laugh

 

[blackjeep]

I took my first doses yesterday. I'm feeling a little out of it today, probably detoxing.

I'm hoping that DE will get rid of athsma!

Edited to add: A local co-op has "codex grade" DE for $2.95 for 5 pounds, 50 pounds for $19.95. From what I've been able to determine, codex grade is equivalent to food grade.

 

[rockcreek]

DE

I just bought some from Herbal Healer. It was $3.50 a pound. She also has alot of info about parasites.

 

[Firebird]

This is fascinating! I hope folks keep posting their results.

 

[coloradohermit]

I had some pet grade DE from a bug problem years ago and wasn't sure about taking that, so I got some at the health food store while I was out for a meeting today. Here we go folks.

 

[nomifyle]

I was gonna start today but since I'm still not feeling all that well (for two weeks) from my allergy attack, I don't want to feel worse again. I don't actually feel all that bad and my cough is less and less, but I have absolutely no energy.

Judy

 

[Laurane]

Just picked up a 50 lb bag of DE from the local farm supply (food grade) for $34.00.......now I have to decant it into buckets to manage it........going to spread it all around our house while I am at it and in the basement too. I expect to find dead little wigglies all over the place as our house is not particularly airtight.

I would suggest that you start the DE on a friday if you don't work on the weekend. That way when or if your hit with something, you'll have the weekend to adjust to taking the DE. V

How Diatomaceous Earth Works


When Diatomaceous Earth is taken into the body it does it’s work in 3 different ways:




1st:

As you can see from the picture of Diatomaceous Earth- (magnified 7000 times)- it looks like a cylinder full of holes--kind of like Rice Chex Cereal. This cylinder has a very strong negative charge. As these millions of cylinders move through the stomach and digestive tract, they attract and absorb bacteria, fungi, protozoa, viruses, endotoxins, pesticide and drug residues, E-Coli, and heavy metals. These are trapped inside the cylinder and passed out of the body. In addition, any larger parasites that happen to be in the stomach of digestive tract are “cut up” and killed by the sharp edges of the Diatomaceous Earth. All of these activities result in a much healthier body with less sickness. We often hear the phrase “ I just feel better” with our Diatomaceous Earth users. This better feeling comes from all the “junk” being removed from the body and giving our immune system the “jump start” it needs.







2nd:


Diatomaceous Earth is very hard. On the harness scale where diamonds are a 9, Diatomaceous Earth is a 7. This is very important, because as those millions of tiny hard and sharp Diatomaceous Earth cylinders pass through the small and large intestines, they “scrub” the walls. After only a few months of taking Diatomaceous Earth, the intestine wall is no longer coated with mucus, and molds but CLEAN!!. The advantages of this are several:

1. Regular bowel movements (This is the #1 comment everyone makes about DE)

2. Healthier Colon. This is especially important as we get older. A clean healthy colon keeps away polyps, cancers, and ulcers. Today, many are spending thousands of dollars to get colonics to do the same thing as Diatomaceous Earth does.

3. Many users report increased energy and needing less sleep. This is a result of all the food and nutrients that are taken in being better absorbed into the blood stream. With a coated colon--many nutrients never get absorbed.





3rd:


A small amount of Diatomaceous Earth gets absorbed into the blood stream. As these cylinders move through out the body they clean and breakup buildups in the blood vessels and also the destroy bad fats. Everyone that we know that is taking Diatomaceous Earth has lowered their cholesterol by 40-50 points. Everyone is also amazed at how their high blood pressure goes down. As the Diatomaceous Earth eventually dissolve in the blood, the many benefits of the silica content are realized. Go to the page on “Human Use” and review all of the benefits of silica to the body.
1. Sore joints and ligaments feel dramatically better

2. Skin clears up (acne-age spots-psoriasis)

3. Hair and nails are stronger and grow faster

4. Stronger teeth and gums

5. Healthier respiratory tract--less coughing

6. Menopause has less symptoms

7. Healthier urinary tract

The benefits of silica are many. In today’s grains, there is actually a silica shortage. Years ago, the silica in our foodstuffs was adequate, but with today’s hybrids and depleted soils, only about 1/3 of the silica needed is supplied in our food. Diatomaceous Earth is a simple and inexpensive way to get the silica your body needs.

DE(Diatomaceous Earth Powder)



The use and beneficial effect of DE(Diatomaceous Earth Powder) goes back more than 5,000 years to ancient China where it became part of the pantheon of traditional Chinese Medicine. In many countries, it is used as an additive to stored grain to keep it bug free and to make the flour go further. In Europe, it is used by health-conscious individuals seeking alternatives to chemicals commonly used to strengthen hair, skin, bones, and to promote their general well-being. In Austrialian studies, DE was found to lower blood cholesterol in humans. It is estimated that there are more than 1,500 ways DE is beneficial to humans, plants, and animals.

As a daily supplement, many believe that it's most beneficial uses is for internal cleansing by aiding in the elimination of intestinal parasites, which are not able to develop an immunity to the sharp edges of DE. It is also an excellent source of plant derived silica.

According to a top cancer researcher, it is also the best natural chelating product available - for pulling heavy metals from the bloodstream. Many believe that the increase in the number of cases of Heavy metal poisoning has occurred in part due to mercury in vaccines, fluoridated water, deodorants with aluminum, some seafood, foil wrap, cooking in aluminum cookware, and a number of other ways.

UPDATE 3-2013 .... a couple(newer) most awesome facts I've even recently been learning about DE, like for instance in this article by Jean (JB) Bardot: (herbalist and a classical homeopath,with post graduate degree in holistic nutrition.) which that to me makes Jean a pretty credible source.

#1 Diatomaceous Earth detoxes mercury, cadmium, lead and other heavy metals;removes poisons from chemtrails, radiation and may alleviate the effects of GMOs.

#2 Add diatomaceous earth to your diet to detox parasites that can contribute to food intolerance, nausea, bowel discomfort, pain, itching, asthma, sinus infections, Morgellon's disease, and a host of other allergic-type reactions.

#3 Initially, you may experience a Herxhemier reaction, which can cause abdominal discomfort and flu-like symptoms. This is a normal response to detoxing, as parasites and pathogens die, releasing their toxins into your system for elimination. The symptoms disappear after a few days.

and a while back I came across this great article by Melissa Sevigny here -->>
http://ibreatheimhungry.com/2013/02/foodless-friday-health-benefits-of-diatomaceous-earth.html

This is part of Melissa's testimonial -->>
I ordered the Diatomaceous Earth (Food Grade ONLY) online and started taking just a teaspoon a day (mixed into water) on an empty stomach, and worked up to a tablespoon a day within a week. I don't know how quickly it actually worked, but my last reaction was on a Sunday evening (it was a bad one) and I started taking the DE the next morning and haven't had a reaction since. I started testing foods in small amounts that Thursday, and nothing produced a reaction. By this past Sunday I was eating everything, and even drank a beer with no issues. I deliberately pushed the envelope with sugar, gluten, and high sulfite foods like canned tomatoes and aged cheese, just waiting for a reaction to come out of nowhere and it never did (though I felt bloated and awful from eating all that junk). I still can't believe it! Now that I can eat anything, I'm going back to my low carb/gluten free way of eating (with the occasional splurge) before I gain all the weight back that I lost since January! I'm also very excited to be back in the kitchen and cooking for the blog again. I have lots of recipes on my list to share with you guys soon, and I'm so looking forward to that!

While I can't be 100% sure that it was the DE that fixed my problem, in my gut I feel strongly that it was no coincidence that my issues went away when I started taking it. I don't know if it was parasites, or pathogens, or yeast, or built up toxins that were causing my intolarences - maybe it was a combination of things, but I can tell you that in the first week of taking it I saw some very disturbing things getting "flushed" out. That's all I'm going to say about it, and no I did not take pictures, but I feel a lot better knowing that stuff is gone - whether it was causing my food intolerances or not!

Diatomaceous Earth isn't just for parasites and all of the other stuff I mentioned, though that alone is more than enough reason for me to keep taking it! There are many, many other health benefits that come from taking DE - including lowering blood pressure and cholesterol! DE is also made up of mostly silica which is crucial for the production of collagen which improves skin tone and the health of your joints and tendons - not to mention gorgeous hair and nails! I read so many testimonials about DE improving people's arthritis and joint pain that I told my mother in law about it and she started taking it too. Mr. Hungry is also a believer and has been taking it for over a week, and I'll be starting our son on it in small doses soon. DE is also used for livestock and pets to control worms and parasites. All of our cats will be starting the DE as well, since that is likely ground zero for a lot of potential parasites that the rest of our family might come in contact with.

LeV....can you or someone describe this exodus of parasites. I know its gross, but this is my hangup. Is is expelled via fecal matter? You mentioned friends having a worm in thier belly button and nose. I could stomach the feces portion but the idea of parasites exiting other area of my body....i would go mental.

So my question is could you detail this for me, via pm if needed if you feel its too graphic. Thanks in advance

Diatomaceous Earth

Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth Facts and Information (Diatomite-Amorphous Silica)

Food grade diatomaceous earth has many uses and excellent health benefits for humans,plants, and animals. The diatomaceous earth information below will tell you:

*Some of the differences in grades of diatomaceous earth

*What food grade diatomaceous earth is and where it comes from.

*Why it is important to use ONLY food grade diatomaceous earth.

*Information on the many health benefits of food grade diatomaceous earth for people, pets, livestock, and plants.

*How to use food grade diatomaceous earth to increase the health of people, livestock and plants.

*How to use food grade diatomaceous earth for naturally effective parasite control.

Diatomaceous earth (DE) is the remains of microscopic one-celled plants (phytoplankton) called diatoms that lived in the oceans and lakes that once covered the western part of the US and other parts of the world. These deposits are mined from underwater beds or from ancient dried lake bottoms thousands of years old. This means that diatomaceous earth has an unlimited shelf life provided you keep it dry.

Diatomaceous earth is mined, milled, and processed into a variety of types for many uses. Filtering and filler are two main uses but diatomaceous earth also ends up in paints, cosmetics and drugs, chemical insecticides, etc.

Because the milling causes different size and shaped particles, it is important NOT TO USE the filtering type for agricultural purposes.

Pool filter diatomaceous earth has been heat and treated and will POISON an animal or human who would ingest it, so it is always VERY IMPORTANT to only use FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH to use in and around your household.

DIATOMS are the grasses of your oceans and lakes, and just as grasses are the staple of earth animals, DIATOMS (algae) are food of the ocean or fresh water grazers. Magnified 7000s, Diatomaceous Earth looks like spiney honeycombs.

Food grade diatomaceous earth is EPA approved to be mixed with grains to control mealworms and other pests and has been exempted from tolerance requirements as an inert, inactive ingredient in chemical pesticides. Diatomaceous earth is EPA approved to be used against inside and outside crawling insects. It is also USDA approved for an anticaking agent in animal feed. Diatomaceous earth is FDA approved for internal and external use and has a rating of food chemical codex grade. The best is usually white in color containing less than .5% silicon. There are food grade diatomaceous earth that are yellow or tan in color, which indicates highter iron content. Those that are grey contain more clay.

INTERNAL PARASITE CONTROL: Food grade diatomaceous earth makes a very effective natural insecticide.

The insecicidal qualities of diatomaceous earth is due to the razor sharp edges of the diatom remains. When diatomaceous earth comes into contact with insects, the sharp edges lacerate the bugs exoskeleton, and then the powdery diatomaceous earth absorbs the body fluids, causing death by dehydration. Food grade diatomaceous earth has been used for at least two decades as a natural wormer for livestock.

Some believe that diatomaceous earth scratches and dehydrates parasites. Some scientists believe that diatomaceous earth is a de-ionizer or de-energizer of worms and parasites. Regardless, people report definite contol.

Better yet, parasites don't seem to build a tolerance or immunity to it's chemical reaction, so rotation of wormers if unnecessary.

People wonder why Diatomaceous Earth has a food chemical codex grade. If it were only labeled food grade, people would think it was only useful as a food supplement, and since diatomaceous earth acts like a chemical by dehydrating insects, it was labeled "chemical grade" because it acts like a "chemical", but it is not a "true chemical" like a pesticide or insecticide.

It is perfectly safe for oral consumption.

Daily recommended dose of food grade diatomaceous earth feeding rates:

Kittens- 1/2 teaspoon

Cats- 1 teaspoon

Puppies- 1 teaspoon

Dogs under 35 lbs. - 1 teaspoon

Dogs over 35 lbs.- 1 tablespoon

Dogs over 100 lbs.- 2 tablespoons

Internal feeding of food grade diatomaceous earth helps eliminate most internal worms, including roundworms, hookworms, pinworms and tapeworms, etc.

It is also excellent when fed daily to keep down fly loads, since food grade diatomaceous earth is eliminated from the body, exactly the way it went in, it helps reduce the manure odor and kills flies that come in contact with it.

Feeding too small of a dose of diatomaceous earth will not give the desired results. Increasing the dose, even if above the recommended dose, will not harm anyone

The worms can kill your pet, but not the diatomaceous earth.

The DE must come into contact with the worms to dehydrate them. Diatomaceous earth can be fed to pregnant animals. It benefits the unborn by eliminating the worms and parasites, and helps absorb the nutients to help them grow stronger and healthier.

Food grade diatomaceous earth can be applied to baseboards,under appliances, inside drawers and cabinets, inside wall outlets,lightly on carpeting, and anywhere you are having an insect problem.

Test a small area inside your home, to be sure you or your family members will not have a reaction to it and then apply and reapply as needed. Since most insects have a laying cycle of 7 to 21 days, it is recommended to treat for 30 days for maximum effectiveness.

If the insect problem is coming from outside the home, treat both inside and outside for maxiumum effectiveness.

External application on dogs and cats

Lightly rub food grade diatomaceous earth on coat, fur and bedding to dehydrate fleas,lice,mites and ticks.

Dust lightly but thoroughly since the parasites must come into contact with the diatomaceous earth to dehydrate and kill them. External application may take up to 72 hours to dehydrate and kill the parasites.

Lightly sprinkle the carpet and leave on for two to three days, and then vacuum.

On external damp area, nematodes may be purchased to rid the area.

Nematodes kill the flea larvae. It is said that only 5 to 15% are the adults that you see. The other 85 to 95% are the larvae waiting to hatch. Apply to moist kennel areas to reduce odors, dry the area and prevent pest infestation.

Can be added to kitty litter to keep down odors and increase drying of litter.

Remember to reapply when the wind or rain takes it away. As with any dusty agent, be careful not to inhale it, to get it into your eyes, which is why we use only light dusting on carpet and bedding. It can be drying to your hands, skin, or feet.

[LeViolinist]

I took my first doses yesterday. I'm feeling a little out of it today, probably detoxing.

I'm hoping that DE will get rid of athsma!

Edited to add: A local co-op has "codex grade" DE for $2.95 for 5 pounds, 50 pounds for $19.95. From what I've been able to determine, codex grade is equivalent to food grade.

Ahh...the Gorge, I've traveled that hwy many times. So beautiful.

Regarding the possibility of lung larva causing asthma... What I've been instructed is to NOT miss a day for at least 90 days. I say 120, because I'm still coughing things up. Not as much,..but some.

IF you miss a day, you need to start all over again, because of the cycle. These larva travel from the intestine to the lungs,... where they stay for 10-14 days. This happens every day, all day. You don't want to miss a cycle.

I'm real excited to hear how you do. I've suffered so many years with asthma,... to me this is a miracle...I pray it is for all of you as well. And be sure to not breath the dust.. wear a mask if needed.

 

[LeViolinist]

NP, thank you for your helpful reply. I guess I wasn't taking enough. I'm glad I saved my DE cause I'll try again.

Vessie, thank you too!


Btw, LaViolinist posted about this back in January on the following thread. It's worth a look, imho: http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/show...ctive-than-Antibiotics&highlight=DIATOMACEOUS

What a trip down January's memory lane... uhhgg.
Yes, the first week, two of us had some bloody, nasty stools. Expect it. Expect a few times to feel nauseated in the powder room from toxins moving out, and ranky odors - some cramps. Just drink water-water-water.. and if I got constipated I'd take a colon cleanse, or milk of magnesium,.... anything to keep things moving.

 

[LeViolinist]

LeV....can you or someone describe this exodus of parasites. I know its gross, but this is my hangup. Is is expelled via fecal matter? You mentioned friends having a worm in thier belly button and nose. I could stomach the feces portion but the idea of parasites exiting other area of my body....i would go mental.

So my question is could you detail this for me, via pm if needed if you feel its too graphic. Thanks in advance

It makes me feel a more mental to think the slimy varmits are INside, eating me.. Decide you want them out. Re-read the first page in this thread. ''''they'''' know that parasites are causing cancer! Now ''we'' know. We can do something about it... at least for a while, until the sale of DE is banned.

Do you know how nightmarish it has been to discover that parasite larvae have been infesting my lungs? And GROSS to spit long rubbery mucous strings all night and day for weeks and weeks. If I had not learned about the DE and dared to take it, I am quite sure it wouldn't have taken another year and I'd probably would be on oxygen.

Then again, maybe you don't have parasites!:-) But a few months on DE would just be a nice refresh and toxic metal flush. Win-win!

 

[Reborn]

DH and I started taking DE again today. I hope folks will share how they do as they take it.

 

[rugmaker]

You can fill up an empty mustard container with DE and fill in cracks or dust an area.
It's handy to have around and not so messy.
