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

[dogmanan]

My fifty lb. bag came in a paper like feed bag in side of a thick plastic bag with a twist tie I have a quart and a half jar that I fill and set on the counter for taking it daily the rest I leave in the bags it came in sitting in the corner of the dinning room.

I don't think light matters when storing nor does heat/cold the olny thing that matters in not letting it get wet till you are ready to take.

Not bad prices and is from Merica dang it! I have no connection with them. I did get the second vid from him in 2 years and remembered this thread..

 

[nomifyle]

I'm glad this thread popped up again, I have been remiss for months and I've started back taking it, now if I can just remember to do so. The benefits are so great.

[Tckaija]

Ditto Judy!

I've been telling myself I needed to start taking it again.... and so I have after being reminded by the revival of this

I stopped almost a year ago after getting a medical problem and was 'out of commission' for a while.... now we will see if it works as good this time as it did then 'cause all the old problems have come back again....

I hope it works as quick this time!

I started taking it again 4 days ago and I already have more energy. Shame on me for falling of the wagon.

[Weft and Warp]

I'm still taking it, although I've only been taking it "hit or miss" this summer since things got so hectic around here. "On average, I probably took it 1 or 2 times a week this summer.)
Now that things seem to be settling into a regular schedule, I plan to take it daily once again.

 

[Lei]

Just be sure to drink lots of water , especially on the really hot days.

Very good advice, lots and lots of water.

Does any body believe it is an accumalation of parasites in the blood rather than cholesterol?

[Now-Later]

like to hear more about cholesterol and why

Interesting theory, Dot, and welcome to the forum.

Here is an interesting video on cholesterol and diet. It's not about parasites in the blood but since you mentioned cholesterol I thought you might be interested.

I wonder if LeViolinist is still taking DE? It's been a long time since we had an update from her in this thread.

 

[Now-Later]

I e been taking it for 17 mo along with black walnut hull extract, wormwoods and cloves
the walnut kills the adult parasites , the woodworm kills the growing ones and the cloves kills the eggs
we collect parasites daily
if you have pets you have parasites--- bar none--
cats are the worst
I will quit-- I ha e made enemies on this post but this info is crucial to your health
never let an animal lick you in the mouth-- he has just licked its ASS before you
that's caed parasite city
yes I love animals and can make them obedient

 

[Now-Later]

by the way-- walnut, wormwood and cloves is the only that will kill parasites the fastes
they kill fluke worms in the liver and heart worms in the heart
yes humans have heart worms
DE will do the job but it takes much, much longer
DE is very effective in the intestines

 

[Now-Later]

pregnant women should never, never. be ouround cat fecies

 

[Now-Later]

if you have a garden and use your hands in it-- and cats use it for a sand box-- the parasites can live to 6 hrs and infect you
the soil is loaded with parasite
I don't sell D E but I go recommend for health

For the first time in my adult life, my thyroid meds had to be reduced. I got thyroid disease in my thirties, and have had to increase about every five years. I will take this for the rest of my life. Period.

 

[Flippper]

resq'd are they going by blood test results or by your basal temperature? Blood tests really only tell you if your thyroid is working (or if you have Hashimoto's autoimmune disease). It can't tell you what is important, such as if the cells in your body are able to use the thyroid hormones it makes. If there is anything I've learned in my 20 years of thyroid research, it's that there is no "normal" with thyroid patients or blood test results. The thyroid is the body's metabolic gauge/furnace. If your body temperature is sub normal, your thyroid hormones are not being utilized whether you have a thyroid pumping out normal amounts or not. Most doctors know absolutely squat about thyroid issues, yet estimates are that 90% of Americans now suffer from hypothyroidism.

There are literally thousands of symptoms of hypothyroidism, most are treated as individual diseases and have chemical drugs tossed at them, here are a few: high/low blood pressure, depression, anxiety, anxiety attacks, migraines, fibro-chronic fatigue, hypertension, atherosclerosis, enlarged heart, allergies, chronic sinus problems and/or infection, dental decay, edema, dry heels, swollen upper and/or lower eyelids, diabetes, low vitamin d, dementia, muscle weakness, insomnia, the list is endless and big pharma always comes out the winner.

www.wilsonstemperaturesyndrome.com tells you how to take your basal temperature. www.stopthethyroidmadness.com is a great starting point for research. And I just learned tonight that many folks taking natural thyroid hormone (Armor/Westthroid/Naturethroid, etc.) have had good success by taking it at bed time and supplementing with selenium, iodine and NAC.

I've posted here before about my thoughts that silica may also be low in thyroid folks, as those with obvious thyroid symptoms seem to be getting the best results from the DE. I notice I get enough energy to get things done when I take it, and I'm only taking a half teaspoon with water. I really need to remember to take it daily, but one big symptom of hypothyroid is memory loss, often severe, mimicking early onset of dementia/alzheimer's. I think everyone with hypoT symptoms should be taking DE.

Received my 10lb bag yesterday. Took 1 tsp in a shot glass of water.

Prior: diverticulitis problems - loose squiggly bowl movements.

This morning: big healthy bowl movement...with worms in them! Regerdless, glad to get these critters out of me, and this just after taking DE once!

{{{HUGS}}}

So you too, had uninvited guests show up in your stool? I remember that EEEEKKKKKK moment very well when it happened to me!

I'm sooooooooo glad those things are gone! DE is a must for animals and their owners if only for THAT added benefit.

 

[ginnie6]

been taking it for about three weeks now. Big teaspoon in a glass of water every morning. No surprise visitors amazingly....with kids and chickens and pets I figured for sure...NOT complaining though! Positive effects...my hips hurt MUCH less. I'm bending and squatting down much easier than I have in quite a few years. Now if it would just make me loose weight....

I'm sooo glad to hear this!!!

I'm going to start up again, I've been traveling so much these last two years (never been on the road more than at home in my life!) that I've stopped taking it. Now that I'n home more, it's back onto the 'dirt'!

These best juice I've found in the past to mix it with so it won't settle on the bottom is the Simply brand cranberry juice! It keeps the dirt suspended nicley so it doesn't settle to the bottom of the glass.

Hope your doing well besides taking the DE! V

Just an odd thought here but I wonder if, being that you had such a quick and amazing evac of the unwanted visitors, that maybe Diverticulitis might be a parasite problem?

I'll have to try this on my brother-inlaw. He'll be game for it. He has Diverticulits so bad that he almost died from loss of blood out the chute.

Next time I'm down in Hood River, I'm going to mix him up a glass every morning and see what happens. He can be my guinea pig. V

Has anyone else experienced bad constipation when taking DE? I drink 8-10 glasses of water daily, but have have IBS also and if I do not take Metamucil or a lax I'm in bad shape with it.

 

[Lei]

Yes,ppbenn, I had to cut the dose in the hot weather. Drink more water !!!!!

 

[resq'd]

Thans, V- it's been crazier than hell, but I am healthier than I have been in a loooong time. I'm at Grand Ridge now- stop by some time.

take flax seed. put it I a coffee grinder to grind up. you will find your dosage . mix with milk, juce or what ever.
start out small till you find your tolerance. I do 3-4 tbl spoons.

 

[Flippper]

Interesting theory Vessie, wouldn't it be something if diverticulitis could be cured with DE? Maybe diverticulitis is a silica deficiency?

Buick, you might want to adjust your dose after you no longer see critters-I went from a quarter teaspoon to a heaping teaspoon over time, and never noticed a difference with the larger amount of DE so went back down to a rounded half teaspoon each morning. I've been lax in taking it lately and need to get in gear (I don't care for the taste or texture so put it all in a little bit of water and chug it down fast, then drink a chaser).

 

[LeViolinist]

I wonder if LeViolinist is still taking DE? It's been a long time since we had an update from her in this thread.

Still reading... and yes, still taking DE.

NowLater, give it to your cats.

Buick Electra, ewww! glad you're getting rid of the critters!

Ginne, some visitors are too small to see, and some may not budge for another 6 months or so!

Vessie, I've wondered the same thing about Diverticuli. Real possible.

PPBenn, I had the same problem for several months, and I suggest to keep up your water and fiber. I took a Cascara Sagrada every night and now the DE gives me no problem. And I grind a spoon of flax seed just about every day.

My recent thoughts are that DE is what is missing from our water nowadays that it is so ultra treated. Until a hundred years ago we drank from wells, springs, creeks... and it contained the natural minerals. DE is a good dose of silica, but it also contains the spectrum of trace minerals.

My fingernails and toenails are looking like pearls... practically flawless, and grow like crazy. Before the DE, they were chipping and breaking easily, and the one was defunct from that lump, which has also permanently disappeared.

I don't think DE is a cure-all, but helps with a great many things. Knocking parasites out of the digestive tract will improve overall health. For those who didn't have time to read the many pages, one friend on DE...., after a YEAR of two tablespoons a day, kicked out some nasty tapeworms! After hearing this, I decided to just keep taking it every morning.

Interesting theory, but I don't think so. We drink from an artesian well- no treatment of any kind, and while it's not extremely "hard" water, it has enough minerals to be considered moderately "hard". I drink a LOT of water, but DE has given me amazing benefits.

How is everyone's re-growth of hair? I have a friend that has alopecia areata and I was thinking of telling her about DE. Does anyone think it would help her? I don't want to give her false hope--alopecia is so tough on people's self image and confidence.

I started to have alopecia, or so I thought. I also thought DE would help stop the hair loss.

It didn't.

It turned out that I was allergic to the Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS) in most all shampoos.
Eliminating that is what stopped my hair loss. But some areas are not re-growing in despite taking DE.

Others mileage may vary.

[Carlyblue]

Thanks Milk-maid! I will have to ask her if her shampoo has SLS in it.

re Diverticulitis, my Son In Law has it bad, bleeding etc if he eats certain foods, when I told him about DE he said why not, gave him a large amount nearly 12 months ago, not sure, time flies when we are having fun with out wee beasties, anyway, he hasn't had bleeding or the agonising pain Div****** causes since taking it, he has now shared the testimony and DE news with Co-workers and they themselves are looking into it
He is very happy since taking DE and like he says, on it for life
Also showed him Liposomal Vit C and H2O2 for colds flus etc, we both take it now as preventatives for our health, we also got into Bee Keeping and take a teaspoon of "pure" Honey every day
We are in our Cold flu season and every yr I get pneumonia and end up in Hospital (lung damage) so far so good, lol, lots of prayer as well (the most important preventative and ingredient)

Our city is on untreated well water.

Chipping, cracking, peeling, weak fingernails is a very common symptom of hypothyroidism. I'm still of the opinion that the silica is boosting either thyroid hormone production and/or thyroid hormone uptake at the cellular level, and/or it's feeding the adrenals so they allow the thyroid to do it's job. Almost every symptom listed here that has been helped I know for a fact are thyroid related.

Ginny, the reason I decided to dig up this thread was to specifically address your family history of migraines. Migraines are a known symptom of hypothyroidism. Blood tests are not a good indicator of hypothyroid-I've posted a lot about how to determine if you are, just do a search on my name and thyroid, you should get many hits.

Try putting your daughter on DE first. I would even try it at the first sign of migraine and see if it works quickly enough to prevent a full blown attack.

Second, PLEASE watch Dr. Brownstein's video about iodine supplementation on youtube-it's about 2 hours long, but once you view it, you will want your entire family on Lugol's Iodine.

 

[Flippper]

Waz, I hear that Manuka honey from New Zealand has amazing properties, have you tried it?

 

[Buick Electra]

Diverticulitis literally means “inflammation of the diverticula.” Diverticula are normally small sac-
like protrusions or pouches along the colon wall or lining. I say “normally small” because
sometimes they can become quite expansive and large to the point where they contain one or
and other micro-organisms that live inside our colons. When one or more of these diverticula fill
up with either bad bacteria, unexpelled fecal matter, or both; the resulting condition is called
“Diverticulosis” which is the pre-condition for all instances of Diverticulitis.

More http://www.healingdigestiveillness.com/diverticulitis.html

So those "other micro-organisms"....parasites?

Aside from the Diverticulitis spasms ceasing, I now get to and stay asleep with no sleeping aids. I feel good!! No grogginess or feeling run down at 1:00 pm. I just feel good.

LeViolinist, thanks for starting this thread and Summerthyme, thanks for directing me here. TB2K should see more traffic, especially on this thread since I've been telling everyone I know THIS is the place to not only read about DE but read people's commentaries on what its doing for them.
