Right on Flipper- diotomaceous earth is the very most important supplement I have ever taken. Please folks, consider taking this. It will do you no harm, and I believe you will be more than surprised by the many benefits you will experience. I for one, will never be without it.

Copied from another duplicate thread.
I want to thank the people on this forum for getting me to try DE. After about three weeks of usage of approximately 1/2 tablespoon per day a small chronic patch of scalp dermatitis that always gets worse with colder weather is gradually clearing up. I can not yet definitively ascribe any other benefits to its usage though I do think that it has helped with various joint problems stemming from contact sports, etc. when I was a young man. I will know more in this regard as the weeks pass because sometimes these joint problems abate for awhile and then come back more strongly for awhile.
I was given a steroid creme for the dermatitis, but I don't like using that stuff. And the problem was not such that I felt compelled to try to eliminate it.
Anyway thanks again.

My results of taking this stuff for the past year+.
Was experiencing diverticulitis for the the past few years but have not had any problems since Feb 2014. But i have also changed my diet to include lots of vegies, oatmeal, and fruits. So i cant say for sure that the DE is the magic bullet... but it does help.
I also get the dermatitis around winter time. As temperatures get colderit kicks in... so i bought some cocnut oil yesterday and will see if this helps. Taking 2 tablespoons per day. Will update in a couple of weeks to see whats happened.

I am already taking one tablespoon of coconut oil per day and have been doing so for over a year. So maybe it is the conjunction of taking both DE and Coconut Oil that is able to beat the dermatitis. But again, to have this chronic problem abating when it has always gotten worse can not be an accident. I have had this spot of scalp dermatitis for years.
Also I have some spots of keratosis on my scalp from sun exposure that have to be flash frozen from time to time, and they have abated and almost gone away. (I forgot that part).

I don't have that, but have you tried taking it every couple of days or so? Maybe try a tiny amount at first? That way you'd still be getting benefits and maybe your bowels wouldn't react so much?

This too shall pass.
It has the opposite effect for us. My daughter has chronic constipation, and I have minor issues with the same, but as long as we are taking the DE, we don't have a problem with it.

When taking DE make sure you drink a lot of water (not fluorided)sp, if I don't drink a lot of water I get bunged up as well
Medical Maven that is great news, you will more than likely not notice some things, like seeing nasty's in your stools lol, many here do, and some reports are now in the making to become a horror movie lol, just kidding
Good stuff this DE, same as Coconut Oil, and I am now taking H2O2 to prevent getting flu and pneumonia, have been in Hospital 5 times over 7 yrs with pneumonia, now I may get a minor sore throat or sniffles and after taking H2O2 I am ok, weak lungs from chronic asthma, there are so many natural remedies out there, not many Drs would prescribe drinking a spoonful of sand, or drinking H2O2 or taking coconut oil
These threads about health have been a blessing, SIL is still doing great on DE, so all good

I posted this in the newest D.E. thread & wanted to share in this one, too, as it has helped me so much. I've shared with numerous folks and others are doing well with it, too.
================
I began taking the foodgrade DE shortly after LeViolinist first began the previous thread and have taken it since May 5, 2013 (thats 18.5 months). I take a heaping Tablespoon 3-4 times/week and absolutely love how much it has helped my overall system.
Within about 2-3 weeks I began releasing little exoskeletons from my system. Over time, I've had color come back to my hair, I have smoother & nicer skin with virtually no wrinkles around my eyes, I feel better overall, my joints don't ache so bad and I have more energy than EVER in my life. Additionally, I've noticed that some of the varicose veins that used to hurt no longer do, and they have diminished in color/intensity; the ropey ones don't protrude so much anymore.
Most days, I add that heaping Tablespoon of D.E. into a breakfast drink with double-chocolate protein powder, XPC Green, another Greens powder, almond milk and water, among other things, with ice. I LOVE the drink and will never stop taking it. I take it when I travel, everywhere I go.
Several months after I'd been taking D.E., I found out that a 70+ year old friend was taking it for a year longer than me for her aching varicose veins. She said it has helped and she would be taking it for the rest of her life.
I'm so grateful to LeViolinist for introducing it and others who contributed to that thread. It has truly made a HUGE difference in my life.

Hi Idum, I am a wimp lol, it tastes terrible to me, but the Wife can't taste it, weird hey
Anyway, I take 6 drops in Orange juice twice a day, I couldn't do the regime they recommend, building up to 25 drops than reducing it, as I said the taste stopped me from doing the whole regime, here is what is recommend from a poster
Make sure you do the research, and ONLY use food grade and 35%, YT has a few vids about it
Only 35% Food Grade hydrogen peroxide is recommended for internal use. At this concentration, however, hydrogen peroxide is a very strong oxidizer and if not diluted, it can be extremely dangerous or even fatal. Any concentrations over 10% can cause neurological reactions and damage to the upper gastrointestinal tract. There have been two known fatalities in children who ingested 27% and 40% concentrations of H202. Recently, a 26 month old female swallowed one mouthful of 35% H202. She immediately began vomiting, followed by fainting and respiratory arrest. Fortunately, she was under emergency room care and although she experienced erosion and bleeding of the stomach and esophagus, she survived the incident. When she was re-examined 12 days later, the areas involved had healed (J Toxicol Clin Toxicol 90;28(1):95-100).
35% Food Grade H202 must be
1) handled carefully (direct contact will burn the skin--immediate flushing with water is recommended).
2) diluted properly before use. 3) stored safely and properly (after making a dilution the remainder should be stored tightly sealed in the freezer).
One of the most convenient methods of dispensing 35% H202 is from a small glass eye dropper bottle. These can be purchased at your local drugstore. Fill this with the 35% H202 and store the larger container in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator until more is needed. Store the eye dropper bottle in the refrigerator. The generally recommended dosage is outlined in the chart below. The drops are mixed with either 6 to 8 ounces of distilled water, juice, milk or even aloe vera juice or gel. (Don't use chlorinated tap water to dilute the peroxide!)
Suggested Protocol
The program outlined is only a suggestion, but it is based on years of experience, and reports from thousands of users. Those who choose to go at a slower pace can expect to progress more slowly, but that certainly is an option. The program is not carved in stone and keep in mind that it can be adapted to fit individual needs. Individuals who have had transplants should not undertake an H202 program. H202 stimulates the immune system and could possibly cause a rejection of the organ.
Day # -Number of Drops/ Times Per Day
1 - 3 / 3
2 - 4 / 3
3 - 5 / 3
4 - 6 / 3
5 - 7 / 3
6 - 8 / 3
7 - 9 / 3
8 - 10 / 3
9 - 12 / 3
10 - 14 / 3
11 - 16 / 3
12 - 18 / 3
13 - 20 / 3
14 - 22 / 3
15 - 24 / 3
16 - 25 / 3
Maintenance Dosage
In most situations after the above 21 day program, the amount of H202 can be tapered off gradually as follows:
25 drops once every other day for 1 week
25 drops once every third day for 2 weeks
25 drops once every fourth day for 3 weeks
This can then be reduced to between 5 and 15 drops per week based on how one feels. Those with more serious problems will often benefit from staying on 25 drops three times a day for one to three weeks, then tapering down to 25 drops two times daily until the problem is resolved (possibly as long as six months). Those with chronic systemic Candidiasis may need to start with 1 drop three times a day, then 2 drops three times a day before starting the above schedule. It is important that H202 be taken on an empty stomach. This is best accomplished by taking it either one hour before meals or three hours after meals. If there is food in the stomach, the reaction of H202 on any bacteria present may cause excess foaming, indigestion, and possibly even vomiting. Additionally, some animal research indicates that when H202 given orally combines with iron and small amounts of vitamin C in the stomach, hydroxyl radicals are created (J Inorg Biochem 89;35(1):55-69). The bleach-like aftertaste of H202 can be lessened by chewing one of the sugar-free cinnamon gums. Some individuals taking H202 immediately before bedtime have a difficult time getting to sleep. This is probably due to a sense of alertness triggered by an increase of oxygen at the cellular level. The oral dosage schedule is basically the same for all conditions. There are several points to keep in mind, however.
Some individuals may experience upset stomach. If this occurs it is recommended that one not stop the program, but rather remain at the current dosage level or reduce it to the previous level until the problem stops. (Some patients have been able to solve the nausea problem by taking three or four lecithin capsules at the same time they take the H202.) During the program it's not uncommon to experience what is known as a healing crisis. As dead bacteria and toxins are released from your body it may temporarily exceed your capacity to eliminate them quickly enough. In some individuals this overload may cause fatigue, diarrhea, headaches, skin eruptions, cold or flu-like symptoms, and/or nausea. One should not discontinue using the peroxide to stop this cleansing. By continuing the program, toxins will clear the body sooner and this healing crisis will pass rather quickly.
If you are not already taking vitamin E and an acidophilus product, I recommend starting them before going on H202. Vitamin E can make more efficient use of any oxygen available and acidophilus will help re-establish the beneficial bacterial flora in the lower bowel and also help in the internal production of hydrogen peroxide.
Making and Using 3% Solutions of H202
A 3.5% solution can be made quite easily by first pouring 1 ounce of 35% H202 into a pint jar. To this add 11 ounces of distilled water. This will make 12 ounces of 3.5% H202. 3.5% H202 has a variety of medicinal uses.
1. Three tablespoons mixed with a quart of non-chlorinated water makes a good enema or douche formula.
2. It can be used full strength as a mouthwash or mixed with baking soda for toothpaste.
3. It can be used full strength as a foot bath for athlete's foot. (Diabetics have found relief from circulation problems by soaking their feet in 1 pint of 3% peroxide mixed with 1 gallon of warm, non-chlorinated water for 30 minutes nightly.)
4. A tablespoon added to 1 cup of non-chlorinated water can be used as a nasal spray. Depending on the degree of sinus involvement, one will have to adjust the amount of peroxide used. I have seen some who can use it at the full 3% strength and others who had difficulty with using a few drops and mixed with a cup of water.
5. 3.5% H202 can be added to pets drinking water at the rate of 1 ounce per quart of non-chlorinated water. Sick cattle reportedly benefit from 1 pint (of 3%) to each 5 gallons of water. (Chickens and cows have remained healthy by using 8 ounces of 35% H202 per 1,000 gallons of drinking water.)
I have heard that some folks have that effect. I usually take mine with some fiber supplement also, and have not had a problem.
Be Well
may all be well
I will soldier on and try again!

Aside from a much improved colon, I have also been using DE when I brush my teeth. I just wet my brush, dunk it in a shot glass full of DE, add toothpaste and brush. My teeth are much brighter and being a smoker, that is amazing, but to quote one of my coworkers, my teeth are "blinding white." LOL! Who knew that dirt would give one a movie star smile?

BE-- I would not recommend using it on your teeth. DE is abrasive, and I think it would likely damage the enamel over time.

Girls with Guns Member
When I went to the dentist I asked about this and all these types of abrasives do damage to the top layer of enamel.... you could end up with sensitive teeth too.
I think the need to have sparkling fake whiter than white teeth is not normal...it's one of those created things the media has done to us to make us feel a need.
The dentists now have so many people coming in with sensitivity problems in numbers they never had before.

I wasn't using it for whiter teeth...that's just a side benefit. I was using it because I'm a smoker and have gum issues and had read several posts where brushing their teeth with DE had improved their gums. Guess I'll find out when I go in for my dental exam on 12/18.

Swishing the mouth with hydrogen peroxide will help with gum problems. It also whitens teeth, but doesn't act as an abrasive.

It took a long while to convince one of my daughters to use DE. She has pre/Osteoporosis and after reading the pub-med studies, I knew this would help her. Well she finally started 6 months ago and LOVES it (in her coffee) Last week she said that it has healed a gum condition.
Elk Hollow, YOUR WELCOME! It makes me feel good reading success stories.
Be Well, I hate talking about ~~~~bowels~~~~~ but(t) will say that for the first few months I worried about the 'concrete effects' and felt it was constipating,... so for a few months I used Colon Cleanse at bedtime.. just get it out == whatever it takes!! And now all pipes are good ones :-)
Buick Electra, You go! and just dazzle them.
I think swishing with DE would be good too.
My longhaired 15 and 16 pound cats:
I have to brush them every day and a year ago there was lots of dander on their skin. Now there is NONE, and they seem to shed less.
Also I don't have bouts of brain fog anymore. I've had several healing crisis days, and I think its during heavy metal clean outs; so when it happens I up the water a little.
There's a parasite outbreak in the southern states and my thinking is that DE is a first line of defense. 77 infected in Texas right now. http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/...ed-into-intestinal-parasite-5641966.phpAUSTIN — State health officials have launched an investigation to find a common source of an intestinal parasite that can saddle victims with watery diarrhea for months.
Cyclosporiasis has infected 77 Texans this year, a Texas Department of State Health Services press release said, 69 of which occurred in the last month.
Cyclosporiasis is a disease caused by the Cyclospora parasite, which contaminates food and water.
The illness causes watery diarrhea that can last for several months, according to the department. It can also cause loss of appetite, fatigue, weight loss, abdominal cramps, bloating, increased gas, nausea, vomiting and a low fever.
Officials haven't identified a common source, but said previous cases have been tied to imported fresh produce including pre-packaged salad mix, raspberries, basil, snow peas and mesclun greens.
A 2013 outbreak in Texas was linked in part to fresh cilantro from Puebla, Mexico.

I thought this was the only thread about DE?
I've been on it and stopped, just forgetting to take it, a couple of times. I have one toenail that has/had fungus and now has 2 new nails growing across the it, pushing the old ones ahead of them, each better than the one that is in front of it. The toenail beside that one has one new one push forward.
Thanks for the reminder to get back to it!

I'm not surprised. It's like really fine sand, basically (silica). It's also inert.

Believe it or not, toe nail fungus is a symptom of hypothyroid! Brain fog is a classic symptom. DE really seems to assist thyroid function, I'm still thinking the silica is possibly missing in our diets and causing the cells to block thyroid hormones, there is definitely a connection between the DE and alleviating symptoms.
LeV, if your daughter has pre-osteoporosis, it's likely she's very low in progesterone. Bio-identical (NOT SOY) progesterone supplementation will help rebuild her bones. I picked up an excellent booklet on progesterone written by Dr. Norman Shealey, you may be able to find it on Amazon-it's short and has great info on how important progesterone is to both men and women.

Thanks for the ideas about cement. I really can't stand ground flax seeds for some reason, maybe whole and soaked?? I usually have psyllium husks on hand just in case but out of them now. I eat a high fiber diet already and drink about 3 quarts liquids a day, can't drink any more w/out adult diapers... ;-)
I don't drink that much out of duty, I'm just thirsty a lot.
I will try DE again and see what happens this time. I'm surprised more people don't have this reaction. Isn't DE also used as a dessicant?

I definitely had a cement issue with the DE. I took it for about 4 mo but quit. I think I'll start up again to give it another shot. But I am hypothyroid - Hashimotos. I have to take magnesium (400 mg liquid cap)daily or else have cement issues anyway. I drink gallons so doubt that's an issue. Just had horrid issue with the DE and only noticed some skin improvement - maybe.

Okay, well I had my 6-month dental cleaning last week, (I've been brushing with DE - wet toothbrush, dunk in DE, top with tooth paste - for the last 4 months) and the dental assistant who always cleans my teeth first commented and asked if I was doing whitening strips. I said no but wouldn't tell her what I was doing until after she had examined and cleaned my teeth. In the middle of cleaning she asked if I'd quit smoking. I asked her why? She said my gums were in super condition! No puffiness, no drawing back, and the perfect color. Then she looked at my tongue and accused me of lying to her because she said my tongue showed no, zero, zip signs of smoking. I told her I am still smoking. Well she wore me down at this point and made me tell her what I was doing, so I told her. She'd never heard of DE so I explained.
Then x-rays had to be taken, and I normally have a cavity, but this time none. Then the dentist came in and without knowing what I told the hygienist, asked how long ago I had quit smoking because my tongue and gums looked beautiful. When I told him about the DE, initially his head jerked in surprise, but he regained composure quite quickly. He knew all about DE but had no idea it would help a person's gums and mouth. He said as long as I'm still using toothpaste w/fluoride it was "okay" to use it. He wasn't jumping for joy like the hygienist because I could see that he could see prospective dollars flying out his window, but he didn't dis the DE either.
Oh and I asked if it was scraping away my enamel and both dentist and hygienist looked and said they couldn't see that I had any loss. So, just thought I'd post about the benefits, especially for us smokers, of brushing with DE.

Thanks for the update, BE! Think I'll have to try brushing my teeth with some. I'm still taking a teaspoon a day and feel great about it. In fact, I'm the only person in my family who has continued taking it and I'm also the only person who did not get the flu that the rest of them just had.
That's interesting about it helping with thyroid issues too, because my daughter-in-law just told me last night that she thinks she's been having thyroid issues for quite some time now. She is pregnant, but only a little over a month along. Does anyone know if DE is safe to take during pregnancy?

I am taking it and trying it out, been doing it for several weeks now.
I found out I automatically cut way back on drinking other stuff and added in way more water than normal.
I normally drink coffee at work, for some reason I just drank a bunch of water instead.
I tend to drink beer or something besides water at home, went to almost all water.
Have noticed some minor changes but to some extent I don't know if I should give the de the credit or the gallons of water the credit.
It is cheap and since it does not matter what is doing the good I will keep up on it.
One thing I am learning now that I finally have dogs and actually have to deal with worming them is that the old ways tend to work, just have to keep after it.
Vet worming pills might be nice once a month but dang can some of that cost a bit.

An interesting side effect of low thyroid function/absorption is, many sufferers do not want to drink water and rarely do. I think it is because the water washes out precious minerals that hypoT's have a difficult time replenishing, so they retain water in an effort to prevent mineral loss. When my thyroid levels are optimum, (my temps are 98.6F) I want to drink water, and do. I'm wondering if your wish to drink water is because your thyroid hormones are being used properly now?
That was an interesting dialogue with the dentist, I have no cavities but the dentist said my gums are receding, and I had plaque under the gumline. I'll have to start brushing with DE, as previously I've only taken it in water, and not nearly as often as I should.
