I have been to Dr after Dr telling them I know I have a parasitic infection! Had many stool sample test that where negative. A friend recommended diatomaceous earth and low and behold they started dying and just pouring out of me like you would not believe!!! I have been praying for something like this since 2015!!! 🙏
I started a DE parasitic cleanse today for the very same reasons. I suspect I am infected. I don’t mean to sound weird but would you mind sharing exactly when they started pouring out? This is my first time cleanse and I’m a little freaked out about what I might see in a day or two. Thanks.
I have been experimenting with parasite detox as well so I used different solutions recently I alternated between food grade de and water in a bottle later I would drink a bottle of water with lemon juice then I would try a bottle of water with apple cider vinegar and honey in less than a week I started passing the parasites. I'm also using some Ivermectin paste orally which also destroys these creatures
I take 50 grams everyday, been doing it for 4 years. Amazing results, hair, skin, nails and I'm off all medications. I am 73 years old. Just a heads up, it doesn't cut or scratch inside your body, it also doesn't cut the escoskeletons of insects, it measly drys them out due to the silica in it, so it splits and they die. ❤
Dr Chris Exley {Mr Aluminum has studied AL for 40 years} drinks 1 liter of silica water every day to purge unavoidable aluminum. Figi water is expensive, so I use 1/4 teaspoon of DE. Exley says the two have high mutual affinity. He PROVED the aluminum link to Alzheimer’s and autism.
My oldest daughter had heavy metal poisoning 12 years ago from working in a dental office and a naturopathic doctor had her use the DE to detox from it, along with an herbal combination. It worked wonderfully!
I have been using it for 3-4 years. My routine is: before ingesting anything first thing in the morning i have 1 small tea spoon in half pint of water, mixed thoroughly, slowly drink whilst sitting down to ensure slow ingestion (ensuring not to inhale anything), then drink another half pint of water to rinse through- 7-10 days once a month - effectively as a detox (within 48 hours my poop is black - clensing walls of intenstines).
@@derickmccoy7895 black stools can also mean bleeding from higher up in your digestive tract. Activated charcoal can also make your stools black, but in absence of iron or activated charcoal, it could definitely be bleeding.
I ran out of Cortaid cream for an allergic (hives)skin rash. I mixed DE with some water & smeared it on all the tormenting itching areas. I was surprised to find it almost immediately stopped the itching & it felt good on my skin. The redness began to fade almost immediately too. It actually worked faster on the itching than the Cortaid.
Thanks just now used it for ..maybe hives, mosquito, flee ants bites or heavy sweating doing yard work, do know I itch like crazy with rash So I used it like paste and it seems to work! Thank you for posting recipe. Reminds me of that pink calamine lotion.
Naomi, I have very dry skin on my back, when mixed thinly? Can you leave it on the area, or does it need To be wiped off after a certain time? Thankyou.
@@kathytaylor2008 Im older, & even without allergic rashes, I have very dry skin. Dry skin can cause terrible itching by itself. I always use cocoabutter soap (Black Soap at Walmart...in the products for black skin & hair) to bathe, & also apply cocoabutter cream (Nivea) all over after every bath. I use one of those long back scrubber things with handles on each end, & I apply the cream along the length of the scrubber, & apply the cream that way to my back. That has taken care of the dry skin itch for me. The DE I used for the allergic rash didn't seem to add to my dry skin condition at all, & I left it on my skin until my next bath. My dermatologist told me once (I have alot of skin allergies) that if you experience any discomfort after applying anything on a rash or broken area of skin, it's not the right treatment. (The DE felt very soothing on my skin & rash. I only used a thin, watery application.)
@@soniamarshall9293 Noticed you mentioned yard work...I broke out in the rash after working in my garden, after getting soil on my hands, & that's where the rash started, then started popping up on other areas of my body a few hours later. Guess I'll use gloves from now on. Glad it worked for you!
Just came across your video. Nice! I used to sell D.E. years ago and D.E. products such as Diatech II with PBO8 and Pyrethrins. We had it reground to 2 micron particle size. Great for snails and slugs. The main reason for regrinding it was so it could be used in mechanical dusters and liquid spray equipment (agitated). We even trialed it on cotton crops near Uvalde, Texas for eliminating cotton boll weevil. Unfortunately the government didn't like that as they mandate that only marathon (an organophosphate) be used. Their in bed with the manufacturers. Cronyism at work. All research was seized and destroyed. It worked though I was there. Wish I knew the process for regrinding it. A friend of mine, John Brannon owned the company that did it but he's not here anymore. Any questions feel free to ask. I have a background in both chemical and organic fertilizer, potting mixes, soil remediation and plant propagation.
Have been brushing for as long as I can remember-No issues. Same for my dad, died at 90 with all his teeth never went to the dentist. I haven’t been for 18 years. I get compliments on my teeth/smile.
Well if your guy doesn't surprise me because I have 3 brothers none of them have problems with their teeth but all the women do and my dentist told me it's because women give birth to babies and women have periods which take away nutrition
I used this on all three of our dogs and drank this myself and it was very good. I loved the taste it's like the same of the rain scent. I had gotten lots of pain in my head and I have to say i spit up a very big clot that came out and the pain left. So not sure if it was a clot. But I have been doing great since.Praise Adonai He is good!! All praise to Him first and foremost for everything he gives us to help us.
I randomly heard the word diatomaceous earth in my spirit one morning. I just went out and bought it not knowing what it was for. I have hormone issues and we just got laying chickens. I am assuming those were the reasons as God knows what we need before we need it :)
I think DE helps bind to heavy metals, which allows the metals to be expelled, instead of free-floating around our blood and organs. That can certainly help neurological dis-orders and dis-eases.
I literally just watched a man explain that DE binds to the aluminium in the body and flushes it out so it definitely can be helpful to fight dementia and Alzheimer’s. I always see what you have to say about the new things that I am learning about. You are always have a lot of wisdom to offer. Thank you 🙏 and God Bless!
Found a stray outside cat 🐈 thats been feeding off rats n mice /after finding an alive tape worm 🐛 by her behind i started her on DE - 1 tsp daily n2 her wet food & or dissolved N2 some organic half n half cream. On the 3rd day I saw 3 dead tape worms by her butt...I'ts clearly effective & I'm keeping her on it for 10days! 🎉
My son's family had a bed bug infestation from a rental many years ago. We found that (after thorough sanitize washing) putting items in a big plastic bag sprinkled with DE inside, it killed any residual bug/larvae. They are very hard to irradicate and this was finally the solution that worked. They ended up getting rid of most furniture unfortunately. It was aweful.
We moved my mom in when her health had gone down hill. She brought bed bugs from the place she had lived in. It was awful! We paid exterminators, we had to burn our couch and a couple mattresses. The exterminators had to come back 2x's. Finally bought this stuff. It was successful.
@Cat Dee thank you for sharing that. A retired vet that lives here in the RV park got bed bugs from a store selling Amazon returns and he has tried everything. I'm definitely telling him about this stuff. 😁
Yes, it can be awful. My son had a job where his crew traveled to do jobs. At first, they stayed in motels. The second time he stated in a motel, he unwittingly brought home her bugs. I have learned so much about what to do to minimize them, but for 3 years could not figure out how to completely get rid of them. I tried all sorts of expensive, natural remedies to spray on furniture and beds....but that only deterred them temporarily. Because alcohol causes terrible, painful, unsightly rashes on my hands, I began making a homemade hand sanitizer that is a vinegar tincture with eucalyptus herb and chopped orange peel. I soon found that it repels mosquitos like nothing I've seen. I tried it on my JRT & Doxy-Russell dogs, and fleas hate it too. I began spraying it on the beds, every layer, beginning with the bare mattresses & bowstring, and the bedbugs HATE it too! WAHOO! I have seen only one bug, in the past two years. Success!
As for dementia... DE removes metals from your body including aluminium which accumulates in the brain. DE passes through the blood brain barrier and binds to aluminum. Its the silica that actually does this. Another source of silica is the plant horsetail which is plentiful in the northwest.🌿💖🌿
Diatomaceous earth does not cross the blood brain barrier. DE does not enter the blood. It only kills the parasite in the intestines. Zeolite does inter the blood and therefore crosses the blood brain barrier pulling metals and parasite from the brain.
I take horsetail extract every day. I have just started taking DE. Another product that removes heavy metals incredibly well is Alpha Lipoic Acid, clears the lungs too.
I have been using Dirt (my name for it) since 2015 for all the above, (no teeth) I started w/ 1/8 tsp everyday, noticed a difference in my energy level, so take in morning! I! I use in Garden, dogs etc. Love it, I get mine Food Grade @ feed store 2 lbs for 3.50! It helps w/pain, energy, keeping you healthy, I also do Doterra Essential oils,! and I go to acupuncture once a month! What a difference in my Life, all Combined w/my spiritual belief in my Higher Power!
I use Diatomaceous-earth to get rid of toenail fungus, hated those big thick toenails. After several months, I also added Vicks vapo rub on the nails every night, the nails finally fell off. When they grew back, no more fungus. My hair and nails were much more healthy too.
My hubby and I took it 1wk on/1wk off, this wk back on. Hubby noticed joints (his trouble spots) were more achy on the off wk. I've noticed less stomach trouble and less constipation. My back pain from bend in the garden also recovered very quickly (.5-1hr), where as I would normally be in pain the rest of the day (and maybe a restless night).
When my house was being built I put a stream of this on the framing prior to window & door installation and all along the seal plates prior to sheetrocking. No bugs!!
@@madusonkeeper I've learned to put an "owner's acesss to site" clause onto all my contracts, after having this experience with my roofers. They said "no, you can't come up, I said yes I will, but no problem, after you go to lunch is ok. They weren't happy as I kicked back in a lawn chair & waited. Next day I took a lunch backpack, climbed the adjacent tree & watched. Did that for 4 days, spotted 3 attempted short cuts, 1 that would have leaked for sure. They weren't happy, but fixed the job & my roof was done to SFL hurricane code & doesn't leak.
I have had success in increasing kidney function, and reducing ascites caused by liver disease using diatomaceous earth. I started with 1 tsp the first time I tried it, then worked up to 3 tsp by day 7, fasted for 1 week, then began the same cycle again. In my experience I've not had any harmful signs or harmful side-effects. I would recommend starting with 1/4 tsp for most people who have never tried it, but I read quite a few studies before I began my regimen to make sure I felt safe starting with the dose I did.
I have used diatomaceous earth on a goat I purchased that had 50 or more ticks… I dusted him and in 2 days all of the ticks were gone! I use it on all of my animals externally and internally. I’m glad to hear of the health benefits for myself too.. thank you 🌻
Tinataylor2698- We have used DIATEMACEOUS earth in our alpaca and goats feed all their lives since they were little guys. Being that we do not use the chemical dewormers our vet was curious if they might have parasites. He asked if he could do a fecal exam, I said sure. He later tells me,” I just couldn’t believe it!” They do not have parasites! ( I told ya doc!”). 😊
Such great info. I recently started a protocol, 10 days on - 10 off.. 1t in the morning w a capful of apple cider vinegar, is supposed to help w the absorption of silica.
I got up to 2 tsp a day and after the 5th or 7th day I passed a 4 inch worm! Then around day 9 I stopped because I was starting to feel sick. But I've learned that is just the die off of parasites. So now I'm back at it and when I start feeling like crap I'm going to take activated charcoal with it.
My barn cats developed tapeworms (killing/eating mice) so for 1 week, I sprinkled DE on their wet food and no more tapeworms. Now, I will just add a little DE to their dry food about 1x/month and same for the dog to make sure no more parasitic infections. Love DE. I also do use it in my garden, but I put it on the ground around the veggies that get eaten by cabbage moths, grasshoppers, etc. I avoid sprinkling it near any of the flowering plants that the pollinators visit. If it's dampened, on the ground - it seems safe enough to use in the garden; i.e., all my pollinators are still going in full force. Blessings to you.
@@oksanan.6466 My old vet told me that Tapeworms come from an animal eating a pregnant flea. One of my two cats when I was in college had tapeworm quite often even though she got a weekly bath and it looks like rice on her bedding (actually my bed since that is where she slept most of the time). That is the dried tapeworm. If you look underneath the tail, you will eventually see them coming out at random.
We use it for our chickens in their dust bath tub, but we originally bought it for fleas. We haven’t had a flea problem in years now. We just didn’t want to spray pesticides on our yard. Now that we garden, we do use it around our small plants to keep cut worms from eating them. A tip that works great for fleas is to place several nightlights in plugs close to the floor. Place tins with water and a drop or 2 of dish soap under the lights. At night, the fleas jump towards the lights and fall into the pans and drown. Sounds odd, but works great. We also occasionally put DE in the goats feed. Many Blessings!
My poor, beautiful, healthy cat! He has the "classic" allergy pattern of loss of hair from belly, back legs, & front legs from licking (itching) & tearing out tufts of fur. We've tried all the vet recommended, & have been applying hydrocortisone to the areas with little relief. Will try applying the DE.
I have great success with the tin pans. I use nite lites from the dollar store. I put them in center of pie pan. Great if you don’t have electric outlet’s.
Excellent video. Thank you for this information on diatomaceous earth. I learned the hard way that one of the most important things to do when using powders or supplements for detox is to ensure you’re sweating it out. While bowel movements and urination help, sweating is unmatched. Some doctors have treated severely ill patients who took too many supplements by placing them in a hot sauna for a week. The patients recovered as they sweated out the circulating toxins. Not everyone is efficient at eliminating the toxins released from tissues and bones when taking these kinds of supplements.
I use it for everything you mentioned, and have for years! I've found that when using around the house and garden too, the easiest and least messy way to apply/direct it is with a condiment bottle! Cut the tip to the size you want and squeeze out a nice controlled line! Great in the back of cabinets and appliances! So glad you made this video! People usually don't believe me when I tout the many benefits of DE! Oh putting it in rice, pasta, pet food any dry goods that could get bugs! Put it in the container!
I told my friend that you said that was the easiest and less messy way to use it around your home. And to be careful not to exhale any kind of dust from it when applying. He went right to dollar tree and picked up a few and said it works great. Thank you
I bought Diatamaceous Earth specifically to keep all types of bugs out of this house. I sprinkled a wide path of it inside and outside the sill of the kitchen door. There's no screen door but my friend had bought a temporary hanging screen for the door. These don't attach to the floor nor the sill or threshold. So a few determined bugs still come thru. I had ,previously laid a wide swath of Borax powder there and it helped a lil. I had also threw down about 12 big bay leaves along the bottom. Now some Diatamaceous Earth. Tomorrow I have a bug inspector coming out to assess the situation. Wish me luck. I'm in very strange and bizarre bug territory, central Virginia.
I made capsules with the Diatomaceous eart . I took 4 in the am and 4 in the pm for one week . I was shocked at the amount of poo that came out of me even the 2 nd day. I have had constapation issues since I was a kid . Not anymore since I took this . Now I take a couple capsules every month just to keep things cleaned out well . I had part of my bowel die yrs ago and had to have a section removed. Now I wonder if stuck poop caused this to happen . We use it in our chicken beds and in their feed sometimes to debug and deworm them . They lay cleaner eggs when they are cleaned out also .
I’ve taken it internally on and off for about 10years without issue. A good heaped teaspoon in a big glass of water and drink lots of water afterwards.👍
I found this video very informative! I’ve been using DE for over 7 years and it helps greatly with pain. It helped to heal keloids on the back of my husband’s head and it also helps with period pains. I tell everyone I know about DE, and I just realized it also helps with your blood sugar and cholesterol, BONUS!
What application did you use for keloids? Did you apply it in a paste or take it internally? Both my husband and daughter have issues with keloids. @hyacinthburnettbogle3708
This is so fascinating. Thank you for sharing your experiences. My daughter, for certain will be eager to try this. Ditto the question: how much do you (your husband) take?
Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom in this matter, I bought it last year and was afraid to use it when I came across your channel, it gave me the confidence, yesterday I took 0ne teaspoon , my feet were swollen, in the space of 30 minutes, my feet went down, also my chest was as an orange, now its smooth as an apple . Thank you so much for helping us to better our health. Blessings to you from my heart
I took diatomaceous earth several years ago. It brought my cholesterol from 215 to 155 and triglycerides down from 285 to 148 after taking it for a few months. The doctor was shocked when he saw my blood test results. I just started back taking it as my numbers are high and when I see doctor in 5 months I hope I have good results. I take it in 6-8 oz of water with fresh lemon juice then wait about one hour before consuming food. My daughter also takes it but with apple cider vinegar. l
Heidi, I hope that people take to heart your warning that too much of anything, even healthy foods, can have a detrimental impact on our health. I was eating a nutrient dense vegan diet, consuming large amounts of spinach, turmeric, ginger, cacao powder and other foods that I was not aware are high in oxalic acid. Over consuming oxalates can cause kidney stones and I developed and passed one. It was more painful than anything I experienced after a serious bicycle accident that required multiple titanium implants for all my broken and crushed bones. So, anyone reading this, please know that foods that we consider healthy when consumed in high quantities are as bad for your health as drinking in excess or taking too many meds.
For kidney stones take 10 to 12 watermelon seeds crush them boil them to make a tea drink four or five times a day. It sounds crazy but it works dissolving the stones.
Yeah, just because something is "natural", doesn't mean it's necessarily good for you, eg. ricin, poison ivy, deadly nightshade, etc all are natural too.
@@susanfowler9488 my son in-law had these not too long ago. I think he gets the every 2 years or so, I'll have to tell him about this. We don't do pain meds in this family so this would be great if it truly works. Tfs😁
I agree, regarding the oxalic acid. I was eating spinach like crazy a few years ago, and making smoothies with it. I developed back problems which I attributed to carrying heavy grocery bags. My chiropractor asked me about my diet and did muscle testing. I found out that my excessive spinach eating as well as almonds, trigger back pain for me. I passed a kidney stone as well. Castor oil packs helped and drinking lemon water or vinegar water.
I use this to keep the ants away, and it works great. It's very soft and fine like flour. I bought ketchup and mustard bottles from the dollar store, cut off the tip of the squeeze bottle so it's a bit easier to use, and that's how I apply it to surfaces. I haven't tried ingesting though. interesting information! 👍👍
Make sure you get food grade diatomaceous earth for consuming. The other one is for pesticide like you’re using. The powder can also hurt your lungs so wear mask when using outside
I take DE daily, have done for almost a year, I am unto 2tbsp a day, after my breakfast. My dogs are also on it.. I also powder puff them if fleas come apparent. What Ive noticed is that my urine smelt for a small time, but I believe this is because it was removing impurities. If you consider that I take it and give it to my dogs for paresite control then the smell in your urine oil likely an indicator of parasites in your kidneys or urinary tract. Since taking it my overall vitality, sleep quality, toilet routine, hair, nails ansskin have all improved, I even believe it's reversing my grey hair. So, while I agree everything in moderation, Im working my way unto 3tbsp a day as I genuinely feel it's the best thing I have ever added to my daily routine. In your video I was so grateful you mentioned the pollinators, its important to note such things and I only ever use DE in my garden if I see an ants nest and once the ants are gone I hose the DE down into the soil. Thank you for your content. x
While yes, there can be truth to that, I am not one to assume every negative reaction is a sign of cleansing or detox. It is a dangerous assumption to make. I took a break from it then went back to taking it without issue but still take a break from time to time. I do this with any and all natural remedies from herbs and spices to other natural things.
Thank you. You get right to the point. Others have to Give so much fore explanation I usually just give up. I watched you and got all the info in just the few minutes of the video! I’m praying it works. My Gastro doctor and allergist haven’t been able to help with my G. I pain.
Dr r disappointing when you describe symptoms of biting & crawling they are quick to say its your nerves BS. We know our bodies . I took things into my hands . Using everything natural , neem, Pau D Arco, Milk Thistle, Blackwalnut, Wormwood, ClovesTeas. 1 tsp DE for 3 weeks. Its driving them out not pleasant.
Remember that diatomaceous earth and bentonite clay draw detrimental minerals and metals like lead out of your system BUT it also takes the beneficial minerals and metals like iron and copper out, so if you're taking these two things regularly, make sure to either supplement or eat a lot of food with those beneficial minerals.
Thank you finally some one said what I worry about detoxing .. I did a one week detox and got a sinus infection went to lungs j was sick k am never sick It’s stripped my good minerals and vitemanis also so my immune system was Weak . I’ll double up next time on good stuff and more frequent . Thanks again for the advice 😂
I sprinkled a little bit on the tops of my hummingbird feeders, where the ants would accumulate down into the nectar .... stopped the problem immediately
I’ve been taking 1tsp per day of DE in a smoothie for at least 10 yrs. I’ve never noticed anything adverse. I’ll watch my urine more closely now. Thanks.
When my dogs have loose stools or diarrhea, I add 1 teaspoon to meals or have even mixed it with a little water in a spoon or medication syringe and given it to them. It has worked better than any anti diarrheal medication. Usually only 1 dose is needed. I just make sure that they have ample water to drink.
Good video!! Ive used DE for years. On myself and around the farm. It sure strengthened my skin, nails and hair. Critters get it inside and out and it helps with thin egg shells from the chickens. If you get the odd smelling urine again, dissolve half teaspoon of good salt in water and drink it. Half hour or so itll be gone. I sure enjoy your character so you earned a sub for that alone but your Azure Standard ad clinched it. Break free or die trying.
We took it daily for a year we actually felt the best we had felt in along time. We quit taking it when we we felt the best but just were talking about taking it again. My friend added it to her cooking.
I add and mix in a handful to every bag (50 pound) of dog food and animal feed. Every animal gets a trace daily. One thing I didn't hear you mention: some is cast off in the excrement and it completely eliminates the fly problem! Our beekeepers recommend it and use it at the base of their hives. Just keep it off any blooms.
In Alberta Canada you can't buy dewormer without a prescription from a vet. Too expensive. DE it is. Thanks for the info on how to use it sparingly. Great video.
I’ve used it for 2 months for a parasitic infection with success. I also gave it to my dog. Glad I watched this video because I think I need to take a break. I may have been taking too much! I was doing 2T twice a day. No harmful side effects so far but I will reel it back for sure. Thank you for sharing this information.
Thank you so very much for your channel, & especially this post! I live in the South, where termites are prevalent. I've funneled some DE into the walls from the top, in the attic. Making a barrier around your foundation also deters subterranean termites. Did all this after having to tent Dad's house for active termites after he bought it in 09. Basic tenting uses chemical gas (ugh!) that kills the current bugs, but leaves no residual to protect the place. This has worked well for 13years now.
Hi everyone! Yes I’m taking DE in the mornings just about 1/2 of the tsp with water and I take it for 15 days and rest one week, I feel pretty good but like you said with precaution I see that my nails are stronger, I know that if you are taking to much you can have constipation so you have to slow down.
Been using DE (food grade) for years. According to weight I put a TBLSP in a pudding cup, because you don't chew pudding. My big dogs get a tsp. in their wet food every other day. I take it just once a week.
Once a week for dogs too could be better, consider that if that is “ cleaning” the body from inside out, that might be taking too much from the dog or even living them without minerals and vitamins by interfering with digestion and assimilation. Too much cleaning could be leaving dog without some of its digestive system lining and that could become a serious health problem. I think I ‘ve read about that before and I checked to see if I could find the info but I can not found it, very probably I filed it under another name or word.
@@adyarym LOL, it doesn't work that way. DE doesn't "scrape" away the intestinal lining, it forms a suppressive coating in the intestines, thereby drying out whatever critters that reside there, the beneficial bacteria are not susceptible to the drying.
@@adyarymif you use DE as a dewormer for pets it has to be done every day for about 10 -14 days. Dogs especially are susceptible to worms as they go outside.
I tell you this stuff is amazing. It also helps me with my energy level. Makes me feel so good :) still want to try it in my face wash or maybe as a mask with my clay.
I first heard about at a TNR workshop for those who take care of colony cats. I bought my first bag today 😊 And yes it does make sense what your saying. As my dad always says everything in excessive is bad. Dietitians will tell you the same you have to rotate your meals and switch it up so you dont develop an allergy to the same certain foods. Ying Yang ☯️ its all about balance ⚖️ Dont tip the scale
Thank you, everyone else won’t suggest a usage and how often or there experience lacks detail. I’ve taken DE before but haven’t lately and want to get back to it.
I hv drank 1 tablespoon DE in warm distilled water for a yr or so to flush and clean my urinary track , restoring my health and cleared up my skin condition 😅 Love it only mother earth can heal mind body and soul
I use DE to dust my dogs and for chickens dust bath, also in their food. We put it in the water tanks as a natural filter, it helps to keep algea growth down. Also I take it internally once in a while. Add it to grains and foods for long term storage. I put it around it the garage or house to keep pests at bay as needed.
I use DE for my chickens and goats, and garden, but never thought about my dogs or myself. I did not know that it kills the beneficial pollinators! I used it in the soil and didn't realize it will kill my pollinators - nope, not using it for that anymore. I actually put DE in my goats food once a month and use it in their bedding: same with the chickens. Thanks for all you teach and show us! Blessings 🥰
Thanks for the caution given. Less is often more! Homeopathy is based on very precise measurements. Just because something is good for you and natural, one can overdose on many things. Great vid. Thank you
When we moved into our house we found lots of silverfish about. I sprinkle diatomaceous earth in all the cupboards and around the skirting boards. We've been here for two years now and I haven't seen a silverfish in 18 months.
Awesome video! Here’s my story regarding DE. I’ve taken DE on/off for 6+ years. I started it with a friend as we thought why not just in case we had any intestinal parasites. I never saw any signs of parasites - HOWEVER, a very welcome surprise happened within days of me starting the DE: all the excruciating herniated disk pain I had been experiencing for over a year disappeared! I started with a small daily amount of 1 tsp in a glass of water/broth/tea and slowly worked my way up to 1 TBSP over approx. 3 weeks. I used to take it daily, but now only take it if/when any joint pains resurface. My tummy did have quite a bit of grumbling (clearing me out) in the beginning. I’ve been told for best absorption, take it in liquid on an empty stomach (when the stomach is most acidic) and if you need help in getting your gut more acidic, add some apple cider vinegar to the water. My approach is to take it 1 hr before or 2 hrs after any meds/food. Be sure to increase your daily water intake when taking DE. I also found the DE had a tendency to “energize” me so I only take it in the AM so it doesn’t affect my sleep. I’m very happy with its effect on me and it has helped several other family members/friends, as well, with skin and joint issues. I usually buy a 2lb bag (or the 5lb bag if I’m sharing with others). I keep some DE on my kitchen counter in a large airtight glass jar and store the rest in a large airtight plastic storage container in my pantry. 😄I don’t think the DE can go “bad”.
I agree with everything you said. I bought DE a couple years ago and used it inconsistently but just started a detox plan for me and my parents. I appreciate your tips and warnings in this video and will apply them so we don’t overdo it. Thank you!
I use it on my dog's bedding and her lounging areas. Just the other day I found ants coming into the house from under the baseboards which has never happened before. Sprinkled all along the baseboards and used an old paintbrush to sweep DE underneath. Worked.
I keep a large jar of honey in a bowl of DE, leaving enough space between the jar and bowl so that a large insect would have to walk across to, rather than climb on, the honey jar. It's worked for years.
I use equal parts bentonite and de, add water to make a soft paste, add a couple pinches of stevia and use that for my base toothpaste. My Husband likes peppermint, I like cinnamon, the kiddo gets orange or strawberry. No sting, not harsh at all. I imagine it helps mineralize teeth too.
Again, you've got good timing. I just bought some diatomaceous earth about a week ago. I have used it in the past but not for a long time and I hadn't even opened the new bag yet so I'm anxious to watch the video and see what you have to say about its uses compared to what I knew in the past.
Thank you Heidi! 🙂 Yes, my first introduction to DE was when I lived in NH. The apartment building had a bedbug problem. I sprinkled DE around all the baseboards and used a little puffer thing to get it into the electrical outlets or where the plumbing came through the walls. Now, I use it as you do where the chickens take their dust baths. Blessings! 💜
I use DE for deworming the pets as well as us! I also use it for pest control in the garden and around the portals of my house. I want to try it in my toothpaste. Thanks for that tip! 💗
I am so happy to hear this about D.E. I have used it in the past for cats I was told to sprinkle it into the cat litter every once in a while for fleas. I was always very scared of it and would carefully use it. I felt like it was a bad poison that should only be used on rare occasions as needed. Now, to find out that you can eat it? That is so wild. Love it.
Learned this the hard way. Make sure you and your cat are hydrated BEFORE you start taking DE because it will dehydrate you and you will be constipated and miserable if you up the dose too fast!
Diatomaceous is amazing . My doctor wanted to remove my Thyroid gland because for a while they were not able to detect at all the TSH (value

@@Mavie-Villa Hello,, thanks on the Harris brand,, how long ago did you first start taking it,, thanks again
How much did you take a day?
I have been to Dr after Dr telling them I know I have a parasitic infection! Had many stool sample test that where negative. A friend recommended diatomaceous earth and low and behold they started dying and just pouring out of me like you would not believe!!! I have been praying for something like this since 2015!!! 🙏
I started a DE parasitic cleanse today for the very same reasons. I suspect I am infected. I don’t mean to sound weird but would you mind sharing exactly when they started pouring out? This is my first time cleanse and I’m a little freaked out about what I might see in a day or two. Thanks.
Can you give me more information about how your cleanse went?
Hello, whats the name of the brand (food grade de) that you’ve been using for your parasite cleanse? Thanks
@@Readysetgo2Harris Walmart sales it n has to be food grade 😊
I have been experimenting with parasite detox as well so I used different solutions recently I alternated between food grade de and water in a bottle later I would drink a bottle of water with lemon juice then I would try a bottle of water with apple cider vinegar and honey in less than a week I started passing the parasites. I'm also using some Ivermectin paste orally which also destroys these creatures
I take 50 grams everyday, been doing it for 4 years. Amazing results, hair, skin, nails and I'm off all medications. I am 73 years old. Just a heads up, it doesn't cut or scratch inside your body, it also doesn't cut the escoskeletons of insects, it measly drys them out due to the silica in it, so it splits and they die. ❤
Interesting, I knew it dehydrated them but I had read in many places it was because it cut them up
So you have been taking roughly 5 tablespoonfuls daily?
@@lindagail7780 approx 3 tablespoons
@@sylviaholtzhausen6439 Thank you 🤗
It does cause razor sharp cuts I’ve seen several studies showing it
The dementia part is likely because it helps remove metals such as aluminum!
That and reduced parasitic activity if what my mother and I have found.
Was about to say this. Glad it was already said 🙌🙌🙌
I was thinking the same thing!
Dr Chris Exley {Mr Aluminum has studied AL for 40 years} drinks 1 liter of silica water every day to purge unavoidable aluminum. Figi water is expensive, so I use 1/4 teaspoon of DE. Exley says the two have high mutual affinity. He PROVED the aluminum link to Alzheimer’s and autism.
Which they spray us everyday plus a lot more
My oldest daughter had heavy metal poisoning 12 years ago from working in a dental office and a naturopathic doctor had her use the DE to detox from it, along with an herbal combination. It worked wonderfully!

I have been using it for 3-4 years. My routine is: before ingesting anything first thing in the morning i have 1 small tea spoon in half pint of water, mixed thoroughly, slowly drink whilst sitting down to ensure slow ingestion (ensuring not to inhale anything), then drink another half pint of water to rinse through- 7-10 days once a month - effectively as a detox (within 48 hours my poop is black - clensing walls of intenstines).

I ran out of Cortaid cream for an allergic (hives)skin rash. I mixed DE with some water & smeared it on all the tormenting itching areas. I was surprised to find it almost immediately stopped the itching & it felt good on my skin. The redness began to fade almost immediately too. It actually worked faster on the itching than the Cortaid.
Thanks just now used it for ..maybe hives, mosquito, flee ants bites or heavy sweating doing yard work, do know I itch like crazy with rash So I used it like paste and it seems to work! Thank you for posting recipe. Reminds me of that pink calamine lotion.
Naomi, I have very dry skin on my back, when mixed thinly? Can you leave it on the area, or does it need To be wiped off after a certain time? Thankyou.
@@kathytaylor2008 Im older, & even without allergic rashes, I have very dry skin. Dry skin can cause terrible itching by itself. I always use cocoabutter soap (Black Soap at Walmart...in the products for black skin & hair) to bathe, & also apply cocoabutter cream (Nivea) all over after every bath. I use one of those long back scrubber things with handles on each end, & I apply the cream along the length of the scrubber, & apply the cream that way to my back. That has taken care of the dry skin itch for me.
The DE I used for the allergic rash didn't seem to add to my dry skin condition at all, & I left it on my skin until my next bath.
My dermatologist told me once (I have alot of skin allergies) that if you experience any discomfort after applying anything on a rash or broken area of skin, it's not the right treatment. (The DE felt very soothing on my skin & rash. I only used a thin, watery application.)
@@soniamarshall9293 Noticed you mentioned yard work...I broke out in the rash after working in my garden, after getting soil on my hands, & that's where the rash started, then started popping up on other areas of my body a few hours later. Guess I'll use gloves from now on.
Glad it worked for you!
Rubbing alcohol also works on mosquito bites, this will stop the moment you put it on your skin.
Just came across your video. Nice! I used to sell D.E. years ago and D.E. products such as Diatech II with PBO8 and Pyrethrins. We had it reground to 2 micron particle size. Great for snails and slugs. The main reason for regrinding it was so it could be used in mechanical dusters and liquid spray equipment (agitated). We even trialed it on cotton crops near Uvalde, Texas for eliminating cotton boll weevil. Unfortunately the government didn't like that as they mandate that only marathon (an organophosphate) be used. Their in bed with the manufacturers. Cronyism at work. All research was seized and destroyed. It worked though
I was there. Wish I knew the process for regrinding it. A friend of mine, John Brannon owned the company that did it but he's not here anymore. Any questions feel free to ask. I have a background in both chemical and organic fertilizer, potting mixes, soil remediation and plant propagation.

Well if your guy doesn't surprise me because I have 3 brothers none of them have problems with their teeth but all the women do and my dentist told me it's because women give birth to babies and women have periods which take away nutrition

I think DE helps bind to heavy metals, which allows the metals to be expelled, instead of free-floating around our blood and organs. That can certainly help neurological dis-orders and dis-eases.
That is actually what bentonite clay does: th-cam.com/video/OGJOqy7KSBg/w-d-xo.html
@@RainCountryHomestead Yes, bentonite clay does similar things, but the silica in the DE acts as a chelate for heavy metals.
@@earthzeroapothecary Yes, they work in different ways.
What are the neurological diseases please? Schizophrenia , autism, bipolar, anxiety, ocd too?
@@RainCountryHomestead where/how are the heavy metals release/expelled through in the body using this?
I literally just watched a man explain that DE binds to the aluminium in the body and flushes it out so it definitely can be helpful to fight dementia and Alzheimer’s.
I always see what you have to say about the new things that I am learning about. You are always have a lot of wisdom to offer. Thank you 🙏 and God Bless!
Oh wow. I will give it to my mom in law with Alzheimer's.
Found a stray outside cat 🐈 thats been feeding off rats n mice /after finding an alive tape worm 🐛 by her behind i started her on DE - 1 tsp daily n2 her wet food & or dissolved N2 some organic half n half cream. On the 3rd day I saw 3 dead tape worms by her butt...I'ts clearly effective & I'm keeping her on it for 10days! 🎉
My son's family had a bed bug infestation from a rental many years ago. We found that (after thorough sanitize washing) putting items in a big plastic bag sprinkled with DE inside, it killed any residual bug/larvae. They are very hard to irradicate and this was finally the solution that worked. They ended up getting rid of most furniture unfortunately. It was aweful.
My son went through the same thing!
We moved my mom in when her health had gone down hill. She brought bed bugs from the place she had lived in. It was awful! We paid exterminators, we had to burn our couch and a couple mattresses. The exterminators had to come back 2x's. Finally bought this stuff. It was successful.
I remember people were paying $3000 to exterminators to heat their houses up to kill bedbugs. And all they needed was a $10 bag of DE.
@Cat Dee thank you for sharing that. A retired vet that lives here in the RV park got bed bugs from a store selling Amazon returns and he has tried everything. I'm definitely telling him about this stuff. 😁
Yes, it can be awful. My son had a job where his crew traveled to do jobs. At first, they stayed in motels. The second time he stated in a motel, he unwittingly brought home her bugs. I have learned so much about what to do to minimize them, but for 3 years could not figure out how to completely get rid of them. I tried all sorts of expensive, natural remedies to spray on furniture and beds....but that only deterred them temporarily.
Because alcohol causes terrible, painful, unsightly rashes on my hands, I began making a homemade hand sanitizer that is a vinegar tincture with eucalyptus herb and chopped orange peel. I soon found that it repels mosquitos like nothing I've seen. I tried it on my JRT & Doxy-Russell dogs, and fleas hate it too. I began spraying it on the beds, every layer, beginning with the bare mattresses & bowstring, and the bedbugs HATE it too! WAHOO! I have seen only one bug, in the past two years. Success!
As for dementia... DE removes metals from your body including aluminium which accumulates in the brain. DE passes through the blood brain barrier and binds to aluminum. Its the silica that actually does this. Another source of silica is the plant horsetail which is plentiful in the northwest.🌿💖🌿
Yes, I have a video coming out soon on horsetail, I collected 3 gallons of it next to our other piece of property
I can't wait to see your video because I just got a plant for my pond!
Diatomaceous earth does not cross the blood brain barrier. DE does not enter the blood. It only kills the parasite in the intestines. Zeolite does inter the blood and therefore crosses the blood brain barrier pulling metals and parasite from the brain.
I take horsetail extract every day. I have just started taking DE. Another product that removes heavy metals incredibly well is Alpha Lipoic Acid, clears the lungs too.
DE helps me sleep well. When I take it before bed. I have the best nights sleep.
Interesting. I have post menopausal sleep issues. I'm gonna have to try it at night.
I will definitely try this

I have had success in increasing kidney function, and reducing ascites caused by liver disease using diatomaceous earth. I started with 1 tsp the first time I tried it, then worked up to 3 tsp by day 7, fasted for 1 week, then began the same cycle again.
In my experience I've not had any harmful signs or harmful side-effects.
I would recommend starting with 1/4 tsp for most people who have never tried it, but I read quite a few studies before I began my regimen to make sure I felt safe starting with the dose I did.

My barn cats developed tapeworms (killing/eating mice) so for 1 week, I sprinkled DE on their wet food and no more tapeworms. Now, I will just add a little DE to their dry food about 1x/month and same for the dog to make sure no more parasitic infections. Love DE. I also do use it in my garden, but I put it on the ground around the veggies that get eaten by cabbage moths, grasshoppers, etc. I avoid sprinkling it near any of the flowering plants that the pollinators visit. If it's dampened, on the ground - it seems safe enough to use in the garden; i.e., all my pollinators are still going in full force. Blessings to you.
Nice

@@oksanan.6466 they passed the segments in their stools.
@@oksanan.6466 My old vet told me that Tapeworms come from an animal eating a pregnant flea. One of my two cats when I was in college had tapeworm quite often even though she got a weekly bath and it looks like rice on her bedding (actually my bed since that is where she slept most of the time). That is the dried tapeworm. If you look underneath the tail, you will eventually see them coming out at random.
it is effective dry when killing bugs
We use it for our chickens in their dust bath tub, but we originally bought it for fleas. We haven’t had a flea problem in years now. We just didn’t want to spray pesticides on our yard. Now that we garden, we do use it around our small plants to keep cut worms from eating them. A tip that works great for fleas is to place several nightlights in plugs close to the floor. Place tins with water and a drop or 2 of dish soap under the lights. At night, the fleas jump towards the lights and fall into the pans and drown. Sounds odd, but works great. We also occasionally put DE in the goats feed. Many Blessings!
Are you adding the DE to the soap water for your nightie trick?
@@jammygardeninghair6594 no, just water and dish soap. The thin film of the dish soap prevents the fleas from jumping out of the water.
My poor, beautiful, healthy cat! He has the "classic" allergy pattern of loss of hair from belly, back legs, & front legs from licking (itching) & tearing out tufts of fur. We've tried all the vet recommended, & have been applying hydrocortisone to the areas with little relief. Will try applying the DE.
I have great success with the tin pans. I use nite lites from the dollar store. I put them in center of pie pan. Great if you don’t have electric outlet’s.
-please tell how this taste when mixed with water? How about if i mix some in with my green smoothies?
Excellent video. Thank you for this information on diatomaceous earth. I learned the hard way that one of the most important things to do when using powders or supplements for detox is to ensure you’re sweating it out. While bowel movements and urination help, sweating is unmatched. Some doctors have treated severely ill patients who took too many supplements by placing them in a hot sauna for a week. The patients recovered as they sweated out the circulating toxins. Not everyone is efficient at eliminating the toxins released from tissues and bones when taking these kinds of supplements.
Yes I spread this on my lawn every year. Gets rid of tics and fleas.
I use it for everything you mentioned, and have for years! I've found that when using around the house and garden too, the easiest and least messy way to apply/direct it is with a condiment bottle! Cut the tip to the size you want and squeeze out a nice controlled line! Great in the back of cabinets and appliances! So glad you made this video! People usually don't believe me when I tout the many benefits of DE! Oh putting it in rice, pasta, pet food any dry goods that could get bugs! Put it in the container!
Agree I used dollar tree condiment bottles to dust with!
I told my friend that you said that was the easiest and less messy way to use it around your home. And to be careful not to exhale any kind of dust from it when applying. He went right to dollar tree and picked up a few and said it works great. Thank you

I bought Diatamaceous Earth specifically to keep all types of bugs out of this house. I sprinkled a wide path of it inside and outside the sill of the kitchen door. There's no screen door but my friend had bought a temporary hanging screen for the door. These don't attach to the floor nor the sill or threshold. So a few determined bugs still come thru. I had ,previously laid a wide swath of Borax powder there and it helped a lil. I had also threw down about 12 big bay leaves along the bottom. Now some Diatamaceous Earth. Tomorrow I have a bug inspector coming out to assess the situation. Wish me luck. I'm in very strange and bizarre bug territory, central Virginia.
Bugs are bad this year, in Maryland same
They are bad here in Vermont also!!! Ticks are extremely bad. I give my Alpacas and chicken De

I made capsules with the Diatomaceous eart . I took 4 in the am and 4 in the pm for one week . I was shocked at the amount of poo that came out of me even the 2 nd day.
I have had constapation issues since I was a kid . Not anymore since I took this . Now I take a couple capsules every month just to keep things cleaned out well .
I had part of my bowel die yrs ago and had to have a section removed. Now I wonder if stuck poop caused this to happen .
We use it in our chicken beds and in their feed sometimes to debug and deworm them . They lay cleaner eggs when they are cleaned out also .

I just bought this for my chickens, but after reading all the comments, I think I will try it myself :o)
Heidi, I hope that people take to heart your warning that too much of anything, even healthy foods, can have a detrimental impact on our health. I was eating a nutrient dense vegan diet, consuming large amounts of spinach, turmeric, ginger, cacao powder and other foods that I was not aware are high in oxalic acid. Over consuming oxalates can cause kidney stones and I developed and passed one. It was more painful than anything I experienced after a serious bicycle accident that required multiple titanium implants for all my broken and crushed bones.
So, anyone reading this, please know that foods that we consider healthy when consumed in high quantities are as bad for your health as drinking in excess or taking too many meds.
For kidney stones take 10 to 12 watermelon seeds crush them boil them to make a tea drink four or five times a day. It sounds crazy but it works dissolving the stones.
Yeah, just because something is "natural", doesn't mean it's necessarily good for you, eg. ricin, poison ivy, deadly nightshade, etc all are natural too.
@@susanfowler9488 my son in-law had these not too long ago. I think he gets the every 2 years or so, I'll have to tell him about this. We don't do pain meds in this family so this would be great if it truly works. Tfs😁
@@susanfowler9488 Also Lemon water
I agree, regarding the oxalic acid. I was eating spinach like crazy a few years ago, and making smoothies with it. I developed back problems which I attributed to carrying heavy grocery bags. My chiropractor asked me about my diet and did muscle testing. I found out that my excessive spinach eating as well as almonds, trigger back pain for me. I passed a kidney stone as well. Castor oil packs helped and drinking lemon water or vinegar water.
And Thank GOD For Having You teach Us About Them
I just started using diatomaceous earth and your advices are precious! Thank you! ❤
I use this to keep the ants away, and it works great. It's very soft and fine like flour. I bought ketchup and mustard bottles from the dollar store, cut off the tip of the squeeze bottle so it's a bit easier to use, and that's how I apply it to surfaces. I haven't tried ingesting though. interesting information! 👍👍
Make sure you get food grade diatomaceous earth for consuming. The other one is for pesticide like you’re using. The powder can also hurt your lungs so wear mask when using outside
I take DE daily, have done for almost a year, I am unto 2tbsp a day, after my breakfast. My dogs are also on it.. I also powder puff them if fleas come apparent. What Ive noticed is that my urine smelt for a small time, but I believe this is because it was removing impurities. If you consider that I take it and give it to my dogs for paresite control then the smell in your urine oil likely an indicator of parasites in your kidneys or urinary tract. Since taking it my overall vitality, sleep quality, toilet routine, hair, nails ansskin have all improved, I even believe it's reversing my grey hair. So, while I agree everything in moderation, Im working my way unto 3tbsp a day as I genuinely feel it's the best thing I have ever added to my daily routine. In your video I was so grateful you mentioned the pollinators, its important to note such things and I only ever use DE in my garden if I see an ants nest and once the ants are gone I hose the DE down into the soil. Thank you for your content. x
While yes, there can be truth to that, I am not one to assume every negative reaction is a sign of cleansing or detox. It is a dangerous assumption to make. I took a break from it then went back to taking it without issue but still take a break from time to time. I do this with any and all natural remedies from herbs and spices to other natural things.

Using everything natural , neem, Pau D Arco, Milk Thistle, Blackwalnut, Wormwood, ClovesTeas. 1 tsp DE for 3 weeks. Its driving them out not pleasant.
Remember that diatomaceous earth and bentonite clay draw detrimental minerals and metals like lead out of your system BUT it also takes the beneficial minerals and metals like iron and copper out, so if you're taking these two things regularly, make sure to either supplement or eat a lot of food with those beneficial minerals.
Yep
I take 2 hours away from any food or supplements.
Thank you finally some one said what I worry about detoxing ..
I did a one week detox and got a sinus infection went to lungs j was sick k am never sick
It’s stripped my good minerals and vitemanis also so my immune system was Weak . I’ll double up next time on good stuff and more
frequent . Thanks again for the advice 😂
Omg, this is why I looked so pale (iron) when I took bentonite clay 😅
@@garylaughinghouse5116did you accidentally inhale the DE?
I sprinkled a little bit on the tops of my hummingbird feeders, where the ants would accumulate down into the nectar ....
stopped the problem immediately
I’ve been taking 1tsp per day of DE in a smoothie for at least 10 yrs. I’ve never noticed anything adverse. I’ll watch my urine more closely now. Thanks.
Thanks Nick..was never too sure. God Bless !
Thank you!! Just started using for gut health. I am making a calendar diary and improving my diet. Wish me luck. New Subscriber. Great Channel!!
Yes food grade is great 👍 thanks for clarifying that for people , a lot of people don't know there's a difference
When my dogs have loose stools or diarrhea, I add 1 teaspoon to meals or have even mixed it with a little water in a spoon or medication syringe and given it to them. It has worked better than any anti diarrheal medication. Usually only 1 dose is needed. I just make sure that they have ample water to drink.
I use it as a face mask, mix with aloe vera.
Good video!! Ive used DE for years. On myself and around the farm. It sure strengthened my skin, nails and hair. Critters get it inside and out and it helps with thin egg shells from the chickens.
If you get the odd smelling urine again, dissolve half teaspoon of good salt in water and drink it. Half hour or so itll be gone.
I sure enjoy your character so you earned a sub for that alone but your Azure Standard ad clinched it.
Break free or die trying.
We took it daily for a year we actually felt the best we had felt in along time. We quit taking it when we we felt the best but just were talking about taking it again. My friend added it to her cooking.
Can you please share how much you started off taking, or how much you took
We took 1 tea in warm water twice a day.
Supposed to take on an empty stomach
True. It's possible to have an empty stomach during the day. It just requires more work than at the start of the day.
I use it daily sprinkled on top of my toothpaste before I brush daily. Thanks so much for this great information. So glad I found your channel!
I used it too and it started to take the enamel off.
@@railway-share3820 Thanks for that hot tip! I did read that it's good for gum health though. I'll slow down the usage!
I add and mix in a handful to every bag (50 pound) of dog food and animal feed. Every animal gets a trace daily. One thing I didn't hear you mention: some is cast off in the excrement and it completely eliminates the fly problem!
Our beekeepers recommend it and use it at the base of their hives. Just keep it off any blooms.
wow, this is new to me. Thanks for the mention.
Oh my gosh. Now that I’m definitely going to do with my miniature horses
In Alberta Canada you can't buy dewormer without a prescription from a vet. Too expensive. DE it is. Thanks for the info on how to use it sparingly. Great video.
I’ve used it for 2 months for a parasitic infection with success. I also gave it to my dog. Glad I watched this video because I think I need to take a break. I may have been taking too much! I was doing 2T twice a day. No harmful side effects so far but I will reel it back for sure. Thank you for sharing this information.
It doesn’t damage you. The “cutting “ is not in using the food grade DE, just the commercial grade.
Can this prevent heart worms in dogs ?
@@christine9467I’d like to know that too
How did you know you had a parasitic infection? What were the symptoms?
What brand did you use thanks
Thanks for the advice. I will now only take it every other week :-)
I've been taking this for a few days & it's giving me headaches which I think is due to its dehydrating factor. So drink plenty of water with this.
I have used this for many years with myself internally and externally, on my pets , around the house for ant problems, so many uses.
Thank you so very much for your channel, & especially this post! I live in the South, where termites are prevalent. I've funneled some DE into the walls from the top, in the attic. Making a barrier around your foundation also deters subterranean termites. Did all this after having to tent Dad's house for active termites after he bought it in 09. Basic tenting uses chemical gas (ugh!) that kills the current bugs, but leaves no residual to protect the place. This has worked well for 13years now.
Hi everyone! Yes I’m taking DE in the mornings just about 1/2 of the tsp with water and I take it for 15 days and rest one week, I feel pretty good but like you said with precaution I see that my nails are stronger, I know that if you are taking to much you can have constipation so you have to slow down.
Been using DE (food grade) for years. According to weight I put a TBLSP in a pudding cup, because you don't chew pudding. My big dogs get a tsp. in their wet food every other day. I take it just once a week.
Once a week for dogs too could be better, consider that if that is “ cleaning” the body from inside out, that might be taking too much from the dog or even living them without minerals and vitamins by interfering with digestion and assimilation. Too much cleaning could be leaving dog without some of its digestive system lining and that could become a serious health problem. I think I ‘ve read about that before and I checked to see if I could find the info but I can not found it, very probably I filed it under another name or word.
@@adyarym LOL, it doesn't work that way. DE doesn't "scrape" away the intestinal lining, it forms a suppressive coating in the intestines, thereby drying out whatever critters that reside there, the beneficial bacteria are not susceptible to the drying.
@@adyarymif you use DE as a dewormer for pets it has to be done every day for about 10 -14 days. Dogs especially are susceptible to worms as they go outside.
I have been taking a teaspoon of it everyday....most days...mixed with a drink I make up for last few years...I will do week on and week off now
I tell you this stuff is amazing. It also helps me with my energy level. Makes me feel so good :) still want to try it in my face wash or maybe as a mask with my clay.
I first heard about at a TNR workshop for those who take care of colony cats. I bought my first bag today 😊 And yes it does make sense what your saying. As my dad always says everything in excessive is bad. Dietitians will tell you the same you have to rotate your meals and switch it up so you dont develop an allergy to the same certain foods. Ying Yang ☯️ its all about balance ⚖️ Dont tip the scale
Oh this is very important and greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you, everyone else won’t suggest a usage and how often or there experience lacks detail. I’ve taken DE before but haven’t lately and want to get back to it.
I hv drank 1 tablespoon DE in warm distilled water for a yr or so to flush and clean my urinary track , restoring my health and cleared up my skin condition 😅
Love it only mother earth can heal mind body and soul
I use DE to dust my dogs and for chickens dust bath, also in their food. We put it in the water tanks as a natural filter, it helps to keep algea growth down. Also I take it internally once in a while. Add it to grains and foods for long term storage. I put it around it the garage or house to keep pests at bay as needed.
I think you’re amazing. Thank you for sharing.
I use DE for my chickens and goats, and garden, but never thought about my dogs or myself. I did not know that it kills the beneficial pollinators! I used it in the soil and didn't realize it will kill my pollinators - nope, not using it for that anymore. I actually put DE in my goats food once a month and use it in their bedding: same with the chickens. Thanks for all you teach and show us! Blessings 🥰
Thanks for the caution given. Less is often more! Homeopathy is based on very precise measurements. Just because something is good for you and natural, one can overdose on many things. Great vid. Thank you
When we moved into our house we found lots of silverfish about. I sprinkle diatomaceous earth in all the cupboards and around the skirting boards. We've been here for two years now and I haven't seen a silverfish in 18 months.
Awesome video!
Here’s my story regarding DE.
I’ve taken DE on/off for 6+ years. I started it with a friend as we thought why not just in case we had any intestinal parasites. I never saw any signs of parasites - HOWEVER, a very welcome surprise happened within days of me starting the DE: all the excruciating herniated disk pain I had been experiencing for over a year disappeared!
I started with a small daily amount of 1 tsp in a glass of water/broth/tea and slowly worked my way up to 1 TBSP over approx. 3 weeks. I used to take it daily, but now only take it if/when any joint pains resurface. My tummy did have quite a bit of grumbling (clearing me out) in the beginning.
I’ve been told for best absorption, take it in liquid on an empty stomach (when the stomach is most acidic) and if you need help in getting your gut more acidic, add some apple cider vinegar to the water. My approach is to take it 1 hr before or 2 hrs after any meds/food.
Be sure to increase your daily water intake when taking DE.
I also found the DE had a tendency to “energize” me so I only take it in the AM so it doesn’t affect my sleep.
I’m very happy with its effect on me and it has helped several other family members/friends, as well, with skin and joint issues.
I usually buy a 2lb bag (or the 5lb bag if I’m sharing with others). I keep some DE on my kitchen counter in a large airtight glass jar and store the rest in a large airtight plastic storage container in my pantry.
😄I don’t think the DE can go “bad”.
Thank you for providing some great information, I will be sharing with others!
Bought some yesterday. Will be starting with your reasonable regimen of 1 week on - 1 week off. Thank you.
Just shared your video 🥰 I appreciate every single one of your videos 🙏🇨🇦
I agree with everything you said. I bought DE a couple years ago and used it inconsistently but just started a detox plan for me and my parents. I appreciate your tips and warnings in this video and will apply them so we don’t overdo it. Thank you!
I use it on my dog's bedding and her lounging areas. Just the other day I found ants coming into the house from under the baseboards which has never happened before. Sprinkled all along the baseboards and used an old paintbrush to sweep DE underneath. Worked.
Moderation in all things is the best advice. Thanks and love, from South Afrika
I keep a large jar of honey in a bowl of DE, leaving enough space between the jar and bowl so that a large insect would have to walk across to, rather than climb on, the honey jar. It's worked for years.
I use equal parts bentonite and de, add water to make a soft paste, add a couple pinches of stevia and use that for my base toothpaste. My Husband likes peppermint, I like cinnamon, the kiddo gets orange or strawberry. No sting, not harsh at all. I imagine it helps mineralize teeth too.
I will give it a try.
I appreciate your disclaimers and clarity with how careful people should be, when implementing these things.
Have been wondering for quite while what DE was and finally took a moment to listen here. Thank you for clarifying the difference between DE and BC.
Good DE reminders. ☺️
Again, you've got good timing. I just bought some diatomaceous earth about a week ago. I have used it in the past but not for a long time and I hadn't even opened the new bag yet so I'm anxious to watch the video and see what you have to say about its uses compared to what I knew in the past.
We use it for our chickens. Didn't know about ALL the other uses! We are going to use this everywhere now! Thanks
I’ve just started using it for my colitis, friends use it and say it works well, 3 days in, bingo! 🙏🏼😁👍
Thank you Heidi! 🙂
Yes, my first introduction to DE was when I lived in NH. The apartment building had a bedbug problem. I sprinkled DE around all the baseboards and used a little puffer thing to get it into the electrical outlets or where the plumbing came through the walls. Now, I use it as you do where the chickens take their dust baths.
Blessings! 💜
So you got rid of em after
@@Gabby._tv I'm sorry. Can you delineate? I'm not sure if that's a statement or a question. Got rid of which?
@@trishthehomesteader9873 it’s a question did you ever get rid of the bed bugs?
@@Gabby._tv Not completely but they were much better. 70% rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle helped a lot too.
I use DE for deworming the pets as well as us! I also use it for pest control in the garden and around the portals of my house. I want to try it in my toothpaste. Thanks for that tip! 💗
I am so happy to hear this about D.E. I have used it in the past for cats I was told to sprinkle it into the cat litter every once in a while for fleas. I was always very scared of it and would carefully use it. I felt like it was a bad poison that should only be used on rare occasions as needed. Now, to find out that you can eat it? That is so wild. Love it.
If you eat it it must be food grade...
Learned this the hard way. Make sure you and your cat are hydrated BEFORE you start taking DE because it will dehydrate you and you will be constipated and miserable if you up the dose too fast!
@@MK-ih6wp Where do you get the idea that it will dehydrate you?
@@MK-ih6wp😊
@@MrCharlesEldredge
It will dehydrate you if you don’t drink enough water with it.
