- In this excerpt from the November 2019 episode of Ask the Vet, Dr. Gray and SmartPaker Dan discuss the trend of using diatomaceous earth as a dewormer in horses. Dr. Gray talks about what diatomaceous earth actually is, why it’s important to the environment (you’ll never guess why), what it is used for, and what you should not use it for. Plus, if you’ve ever wondered how to make “teeny, tiny bug jerky,” (and who hasn’t?) this is the video for you.

No vet is going to recommend a natural treatment.
this one will: th-cam.com/video/6JmWPw3wzWg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=VeterinarySecrets
@@relevant.c5411 thanks! He is good except for using toxic paint.
True
they will lose a lot of money if they do
@r laze I follow the Dogs Naturally Magazine website (I don't even buy anything from them) and if you took their advice while checking whether the food they recommend is toxic for cats, it could work. I have a dog and don't know a holistic cat website, unfortunately.
I don’t know, it has always worked for me for pigs and chickens which has worked like a charm. I could see one problem though, it not a chemical and it is cheap so hard to make a profit off compared to something like fenbendazole. This video is liking asking a Chevron employee if you should you buy an electric car.
Exactly!!
Bingo
Absolutely agree!
I agree fully with your response. The breeder of my standard poodles lives by it and she made me aware as i have 10 pooches (standards of course). A dewormer pill at the vet for each dog would nail me $100 per pet for two pills. Understandably this doctor with all the letters as states would dispel DE because the DE use would takes from their pockets. As for use, i place on/in their dry kibble and occasionally will make meatballs laced with DE to ensure each is getting their proper doseage. No works here. I also use outside and have inside.it kills on contact if sprinkled on the bug including wasps and earwigs but better just have to keep a fine layer at the basement door and any bug that crawls over dies as their belly gets cup up. Food grade means i can mix it up in a shake and it does work. BUT do no expect a vet to condone as part of their profits lie with pharma and drugs. My vet has never told me about DE. DE does intestinal parasites and worms but does not get rid or heartworm as this critter travels in the blood to the heart and lungs. No heartworm where i at. A bitch mosquito needs two weeks with overnight temps at 13F if one of the nights is 12 or under, her cycle has to start over and she likely dies before releasing any microfilia. I live in northern ontario - use to give my pets revolution until i found out it does one worm in addition to the heartworm that lilkely can never manifest. CONCLUSION - i live my DE for my pets and sometimes me - i get on amazon.ca and it is available at food grade and 50lb bag (2 x 25) - i could go on …. ….
You nailed it. I swear by DE for worms and fleas. It's a safe treatment so anyone not recommending it has an agenda. I'll never trust anyone who disses it.
I’ve been rescuing kittens the past few week and the most recent kitten is about 4 weeks old, severely underweight, definitely shows signs of upper respiratory infection, had flea, mite, & tying tick infestation. Before her flea bath I coated her with Diatomaceous earth. The carrier she came in had 2 ticks & fleas on it from her coat. I coated the cushion in her carrier with D.E. I let the D.E sit on her for an hour before doing her hot oil treatment & flea bath. When I went to wash her cost all of the fleas were dead, none were jumping towards her face. Unfortunately, there were still some walking dandruff which will require vet care & a lime sulfur dip. However, when I went to wash the covering of the cushion from her carrier that I had covered in, ALL OF THE BUGS WERE FLAT AND LOOKED LIKE MELTED SPECKS! I’ve taken D.E before myself and could go on about the awesome benefits. The stuff works! Dr’s are paid to encourage the use of drugs.
How do u keep from inhaling it?? Tell us your stories! =) =)
I'm really intreseted in the benefits of taking D.E internally, could you please tell me some of the benefits you personally expierenced, thank you!!
Always take in to consideration that if DE is inhaled it's not safe for your pet or for you so be careful how much you spread it around your house or pet
@@chadmuskaa2806 add it to a spray bottle or doesnt work when its wet but works after it dries and use a vacuum to clean not a broom.
No one should breathe the dust. Put bedding and cage in big plastic bag wrapped in sheet for a day. Then wash in hot water.
Internally, make a paste with water first. I don't have dosage now but years ago I took it, no harm
Many people think that it can be used for deworming. One article says "For the past two decades’ fossil shell flour (FSF) has been used to naturally deworm animals......In addition, the use of FSF recorded savings of $1.50 per head for both ewes and cattle as a dewormer over the use of conventional medicines." Another article says "However, BB hens treated with dietary DE had significantly lower Capillaria FEC, slightly lower Eimeria FEC, fewer birds infected with Heterakis, and significantly lower Heterakis worm burden than control BB hens" There are a few other articles that say there is not a difference with DE for deworming. Another study with sheep says " DE by itself was not shown to be an effective parasite control agent, but could be used as part of a parasite control program."
The lack of number of studies and study details lead me to believe there is a real lack of interest in confirming or disproving. Big research companies aren't going to support researchers and universities doing research that could lose them $$$$. That's why people don't always trust professionals and doctors, government, politicians, dentists, teachers, or many other people that are considered professionals in their line of work/study. Not saying that they don't have good intentions, but people have to have a healthy amount of skepticism, and know the motivations for why somebody might be telling you something. Additionally, I didn't find ONE professional study on a CAT OR DOG, and you know how many of those they got locked up in Universities doing drug and chemical research???? They could easily have done a study on it (or rather more research), but they would rather bring in profits with harmful chemicals. Yet, a whole bunch of people with actual pets have articles saying that it is working OR helping, and are recommending how much to give for different animals. Personally, I am not saying these people are incorrect in the video, I'm wondering what are their motivations and the motivations of the highly reputable person they are quoting... Is it just to remain status quo with their answers Martin K. Nielsen Equine Parasitology "we're not aware of any studies that have shown effectiveness of diatomaceous earth and therefore do not recommend it's use as a dewormer", how many studies have they looked into and what are the details of those studies (any studies on cats or dogs?), or have they done any personal research and observation using their own pets? What do they have to say to people that are using it, and are convinced it is working? Seems like you would really want to stop people from using it if it is not actually helping, and therefore would want firm confirmation in the vet community that it does not work. I would like to see a study on cats or dogs over the long term and the details on how much was given, and that there were no differences. I realize this has to do with horses which are quite larger. I looked up some of this guys videos on youtube Martin Nielsen... he had 41 second video saying there is a lot of research on DE and that all he could say is that it is not an effective dewormer. He didn't go through any of the research in the video or care to elaborate.
Funny, just finished reading that article on PubMed! It's so frustrating having information overload with this kind of thing. You've got homesteading blogs claiming it'll literally cure cancer, while you have videos like this being totally dishonest about the positive evidence towards DE effectively killing parasites. Ridiculous. I wish health was in everyone's best interest, but apparently not.
totally agree, thank you.
Two words sum it up,
Big Pharma
I absolutely agree! You don't know what the motivation of these vets are. They do get kick backs from drug companies, just like human doctors do. So, I say do your due diligence and see if it works for YOUR situation. As devoted pet owners, that's all we can do.
It sounds like your so-called equine expert is also tied in with the pharmaceutical industry for financial gain just like most board-certified Physicians are with humans
When they start using language like "scientific studies",or "Data driven", you know exactly who they are tied in with and what kind of advise you can expect from them.
As a livestock farmer I have given DE to my animals and it has had positive results. I do not know what your science is waiting for.
What would be your recommended rate per ton of feed for worm control in hogs?
FYI: DE does work as a dewormer. I've used it for years, works every time for all animals. Just put some in their feed, worms will be gone in a day or two. Also works for fleas and mites, just coat their fur/feathers.
How days do we have to feed kitten/cat foods with DE? 30 days?
How much do you give to a cow?
God bless you sir wherever you might be. I have been looking for a "how long?" and you have provided an answer.
Yes agreed but we all know Vets and Doctors need to keep the Pharmaceutical companies in business or they lose their jobs.
how often do you have to give DE as a dewormer, and over how many days thanks
BS! My 2 cats had really bad round worms to the point of becoming lethargic and losing significant weight. I started putting 1 teaspoon in their water bowl each day and within 2-3 days, there symptoms disappeared and no more vomiting round worms till this day! This was the only thing I added to their diet, so it had to be the DE!
My cats wont drink from thier water bowl with the D.E. can i syringe it in thier mouth? And if yes can u please tell me how much of d.e. in water should I mix roughly?
No vet will ever admit or even if they know that it works. It just isn't in their best interest $$. It works on my horses too. I know this for a fact because I actually do my own egg counts having a clinical background.
You can also use it for yourself for bacterial viral infections hair loss dry skin if people would actually do the research on it they would know a lot about it
Farah Soliman yes you can And it can also be sprinkled on their food
@@farooh20 If you put some dried cat food in a separate bag and sprinkle De in it, followed by shaking the bag, it will become more easier to just feed it to the cats vs putting it in water. When the DE absorbs into the dried cat foods oil, it disappears and become tasteless.
I’ve always used this as a dewormer for my Yorkies. When they need to go in to see the vet for a random checkup (we don’t do the yearly with healthy dogs) the stool samples have always come back negative for worms and parasites. I also have used ground raw pumpkin seeds with great success.
These 2 people do not exude any confidence at all, they seem as unsure of what is coming from their mouths as most random people off the street...
To their credit, they admit they don't know, due to lack of scientific studies. There is little incentive to do them though, because DE is cheap and studies are expensive.
I know it kills external parasites very well. Haven't tried it on internal ones.
@@TheFirstManticore
You’re correct, but you should add that there have been studies on DE enough to confirm that it causes lung cancer.
@@totallyfrozen lol,,,by ingesting it?
for real...... lol
doctors will not give you a natural remedies, 🙄🙄🙄
no money in it since you can buy it anywhere. they always recommend prescription products
Not true.
I’ve known several doctors who will. They don’t like to offer remedies with confirmed health hazards. DE is known to cause lung cancer.
@@totallyfrozen lol your comment sounds crazy with the million side effects of prescription meds. Get out of here🤣🤣
I had a Parvo litter that was not responding like they should have.. I de-wormed them with DE and they got well. They had tapeworms.
Did you see the tapeworm come out?
Anecdotal evidence is not scientific proof. Correlation does not equal causation.
How did you use it for puppies?
How much do you use in their food?
It absolutely works
I’ve been using it for years on my hens, mixing in with feed, and occasionally I’ll sprinkle on my dog’s food
Yes it does and it also helps with viral infections bacterial infections fungal infections worms mange you name it I've used it for anything and everything and I've also used it for myself and it's done a lot make sure you don't inhale it though and also make sure you buy the food grade con
HOW do you take it??? THANK YOU!
@@chadmuskaa2806 I put 1 tbs into a shot glass with water and down it. Make sure you get FOOD GRADE ONLY AND DRINK TONS OF WATER because it can make you dehydrated.
@@chadmuskaa2806 using it on or for animals take animals outside and rub it into their skin. We have a container we put our animal food in and add 1 cup into it and mix it all up into the food.
Food grade is just a selling point
I can testify that a dog that vet recommended to be put down due osteoarthritis lived happily and moved around like a young dog after a week on food grade De ,oh and it was a pressa cannario so a big dog also a jack russell the same
Can you explain how ingesting DE could improve osteoarthritis?
Have been using DE on my pets for the past 5 years and they are in great health, energetic and shiny coats. I also take it and have great results. Everyone must do their research on anything we put on and in our bodies.
@MsPerfectly Imperfekt I use on my cats too.
I add to their wet food, sardines and mash it in, may need to add a little water.
How do u take it? can you please say it in details,i am also planning to take it but im nt sure about it
@@joanna6183 Would it prevent lung work etc? Or do you still buy dewormer?
@@phulen7681 Sorry, didnt see this on phone. Food grade DE, start with a small amount maybe 1/8th tsp and work way up to a tbs per day, do not take along with supplements. There are a few DE fb groups that you may want to join to learn more.
At first I thought she would say that it helps, but then she had the crazy answer that it isn't backed by science. I have heard plenty of people say that it helps deworm their pets, so therefore, the veterinarian isn’t telling the truth.
Maybe it does work but it's not backed by science. It's like with alternative treatments, for example, COVID treatments using amantadine and chloroquine. They work but they're not backed by science because the big pharma wouldn't be able to sell vaccines if other treatments were widely used.
Lol, they only fund the studies conducted with poisons.
Of course they're not telling the truth because if they do then they would lose millions of dollars in Revenue on the poisons that they push at the veterinarian's office!!!!
Because when they do that, nobody will go to Veterinarian clinic for deworming of their pets. 🤭 I used DE to my cats, my one cat vomit white worms. I suspected her with fleas and worms, because of her coat, increasing appetite but not gaining weight and enlarged belly! I'm so glad she vomit all of those nasty worms by using DE.
If a dog has worms, how long should you give the DE for? 10 days, 30 days? Considering the worm life-cycle etc.
I’ve used it personally.. ingested it.. and it helped me tremendously.. some are just out
for the money.. don’t be fooled.. always use food grade and make sure it’s white.. I started with 1 tsp in glass of water every day.. then up to 2 tbsp every day.. used 10 days on and 10 days off x 90 days.. but some use it every day and have for years.. hope this info helps.
i agree 100
I'm interested in using this for my dog as a wormer but apparently DE only works when it's dry, so I don't understand how it works in a wet gut.
Since DE consists of skeletons of diatoms, they will not necessarily lose their abrasive qualities when wet. I cannot vouch for DE's effectiveness on internal parasites as I have not tried it, but I would not be too surprised. Diatoms are microscopic in size, so they are not going to harm those of us with bone skeletons. Only organisms with exoskeletons.
It doesn't work when wet...they are talking about use outside. After a heavy rain it washes away into the ground. It's no longer a barrier around plants and needs reapplied. It's not that it quits working it just gets washed away from where you need it.
@@ql2ku your right, it doesnt work when wet but when the yard dries up, you can see the DE, its white and powdery and it's just as effective. Whats even better is that it goes into the soil, killing larvae and eggs. I put DE in a jug with attachable sprayer, some water, stir, stir, stir, and spray my entire yard and my plants and vegetables. You wont see the DE when wet but after the water evaporates, its a beautiful white powder killing all those nasty critters.
It doesn't dissolve in water... think of it as tiny knives or shards.... it remains sharp and does the job.
I am caring for some stray kittens..... No local vet will allow me to have medicine for their eyes or dewormer without first doing a complete exam of each kitten..... This is about money, your vet has to make money and has to stay in business and that is in everyone's best interest, but I cannot stand dishonesty!!!
They can't treat a patient they have not seen. Just like any other doctor.
Having said that; I know some vets work with the folks who are caring for feral colony cats. (Trapped once only for many. No do overs. Difficult to transport)
But they can lose license treating a patient they have not seen.
@@axollot doctors are treating patients without seeing them during the pandemic! Some people are just money hungry!!!
Use multi function contact solution with boric acid for the eye infections. Trust me it works perfect. Squeeze it in each eye 3 times a day. Every 8 hours for about 5 days or so. Use 1 tsp DE in the food 1 time a day to deworm and put a couple TBS of raw organic apple cider vinegar in their water bowl.
I have used DE on feral cats that had many round worms crawling in their vomit and feces. After a about a week of treatment the cats stopped coughing up worms, but there were still a few wigglers in their droppings. Another week or two and there were no longer any visible parasites in their stool. They were taken to a vet for a checkup and a few worms were found in their stool sample but the numbers were greatly reduced. I believe the worms are probably irritated by the sharp diatom skeletons and loosen their hold on the intestine and are flushed out while smaller and weaker worms maybe outright killed. Also had a severe problem with cabbage root maggots so applied DE to the root zone while planting and watered the DE into the soil. Have never had any plants attacked by maggots since using DE. The soil remains wet thorough out the growing season and the DE seems to be effective.
How many days do we have to feed kitten/cats foods with DE? 30 days?
Could it potentially cause upset stomach problems like vomiting or diarrhea in cats?
Did I miss something? It sounds like the short answer contradicts the long answer. The short answer intro said at 2:41 “we’re not aware of any studies” and the long answer said at 3:00 “there have been lots of studies”. Is that what she said?
There was a study that showed a reduction in parasite egg count in goat and sheep feces but not in cattle. If your pet has worms take them to a vet, I use 1/4 teaspoon food grade DE mixed in with the wet food when my cat eats a chipmunk for the last year and a half. So far so good.
Links to studies?
Has anyone used it for treating fur mites in rabbits successfully? There is so much conflicting information about it and I'm rather confused!
Does the food grade kill ear mites in dogs?
I’m no expert on the subject but DE is recommended to be used in worm composting to decrease arthropod insects. Not worms, I have a feeling it’s effective on only waxy exoskeletons and not worms which are annelids. Sure you can dehydrate a worm with dry DE but that doesn’t make it a wormer any more than salt.
have you used it? It works.
@@jyang0431 I have used it in my vermicompost bins. Never killed off any red worms. Haven’t had the opportunity to try it as a dewormer. Unless it does something to the internal parasite variety that it doesn’t do to normal worms. I doubt it’s efficacy.
Not sure I'm buying that diatomaceous earth doesn't deworm. On 2nd day of giving to a rescue dog, worms started coming out in his poop. I'm following dosage instructions and doing for 90 days. May combine with another therapy. Experts are often funded by the big companies so their knowledge isn't always objective or true, but rather bought by big ag business.
Scout yep you hit the nail on the head with that comment .. what a load of shit these fools say here .. the stuff works too well and that’s why the experts don’t want you getting that well or they won’t see you again ..
100% CORRECT! Anything that is of the earth and can promote great health benefits for us or our animals, they won't fund the research for because they WANT to keep us sick. There no money in healthy people and animals. Sad world we live in.
Absolutely, they have to pay back those student loans after all.
Honky Monkey, any veterinarian who won’t share such a wonderful, natural (non-toxic, just don’t breathe it in in vast quantities ) remedy as DE, is NOT A HEALER & from them you should RUN. Fast! (For the sake of your companion animals. Food Grade DE is just that... food grade... we can make our own capsules of it & help to worm our human selves, too!
@@douglaslyell1 agreed `100
Thanks so much!
Can diatomaceous earth be taken with vitamins???
I am waiting right now for a reply from my vet regarding DE, but until now he has insisted that I have a stool sample analysed and a full exam before he recommends treatment for my doggy's poop problems. He will not sell me any de-wormer until I do that, and I can not afford it as I am now on disability and can barely keep a roof over my head.
The smirking was enough to blow me off
Worked for our cat
lol who is going to tell a doctor to suggest natural CHEAP remedies when I can get ONE dose of "safe for humans" dewormer for 500 dollars?? haha I buy dog and horse dewormer for the cheap, and now I think im gonna try diatomaceous earth
I took de for 6 months. I had parasites really bad. Taking de killed the parasites but i had to take oregano essential oil afterwards as a cleanse.
If it kills internal parasites by cutting ,wouldnt it injure the lining of the bowel
Does it work on lungworms
The only flea, and any control I use in/around my home. It works. Also, table salt sprinkled and swept into corners and edges of walls where it meets floor/carpet is a great desiccant
As an anti-parasitic, I picked up a bug on my second mission trip to Africa. I had “Africa Days” upon my return to the States and knew I couldn’t return to Africa and do construction work far from facilities unless I rid myself of the bugs in my gut. I ordered food grade diatomaceous earth and mixed it with water (1 tsp per 12 oz glass) to chug a few times per day for three weeks. (Till symptoms weee gone). Success! Was able to return to Africa and lead a construction team.
Today I post this comment as someone who has experience in both Diatomaceous Earth and have studied parasitology, epidemiology and veterinary studies on top of this.
I have always been led towards a more holistic approach as it has personally worked better for me (and all my pets! They have always been healthy.), than the Western pharmaceutical approach.
From my studies, the pharmaceutical reps would always push their products and bad mouth the holistic methods.
I know from experience the amount of vets who follow their narrative as they genuinely believe the reps hold all the answers.
It is not so! Hey, I could get into animal nutrition at this time, but it's for another topic as I'd be here all day.
Anyway, DE works. It really does.
I would maybe start researching studies done independently and by individual people, as well as their honest results.
You say there was a chairman who knows all his stuff, he doesn't recommend it..
But he'll likely push the chemical based ingredients because they are so brutal, they work.
But both work really well and there is plenty of information online from pet owners and holistic vets and veterinary staff who do not dismiss nature's ability just because a man who has "credentials" said so.
He likely hasn't done any personal studies on the topic and dismissed it because he is being paid to do that, in order to keep his buddies, ie, the pharmaceutical and pest control companies happy.
It's a monopoly once you open your eyes.
So many vets are clueless.
Exactly!!
I raise about 600 head of hogs/year, and pasture farrow. I would like to use DE, as opposed to Noromectin, Dectomax, and SafeGard. What would be your recommended rate per ton of feed to control worms?
How do you recommend I use it for puppies to deworm?
I used DE to deworm my 3 stray cats, the other one vomit white worms. I mixed it with their wet and dry food. So I guess, it really works.
I love whenever I hear people speak against “salesmen” who only have their eye on the bottom line. Whatever happened to good old fashioned integrity? Has it gone out of style, or been canceled?
Please comment on it as health supplement
I think they use diatomaceous earth in Vermax a natural dewormer for cats and dogs
All I know is the D worming serum that I get from the vets does not work at all I’ve been fighting hookworms and parasites for the longest since I’ve had my boys but this diatomaceous earth has to work and ima try it tried of spending point less money 💯💯
It worked for me, I had a horrible parasite infection. Was itchy all over to the point where I couldn't sleep, intestinal pain etc. I took very high doses though & it got rid of the symptoms but it wrecked my healthy gut flora despite claims that it doesn't (the reason I chose it over antibiotics in the first place). However it might have been my fault for drinking it fanatically. Gut flora is very important for your health & all sorts of painful problems start to pop up when you do them in. Took me three years to restore it with probiotics, organic apple cider vinegar mainly.
Which people also like to popo despite having no experience and only going off dodgy studies paid for by corporations who sell competitor products! It would be really nice if folks were just honest, anywho, there's probably better probiotics out there I'm not sure why it took three times the average duration to restore with apple cider.
Maybe it was the product (which I used because it far cheaper than the competition when bought in bulk from Costco) or it could be my excessive screen time which is very bad for your gut biome apparently. Everything good just has to be bad. :/ Best of luck & take care!
That's why I'm taking it. I get a rash on my joints and have skin itching mostly at night I hope it works I'm afraid that they sell ordainairy flour or something to rip you off because I have two different brands and the textures and color are different.
How many tablespoons a day did you take??
DM has sharp microscopic crystal like edges that break the exoskeleton and dehydrate the critters. I hesitate to use it around my cats as it may puncture internal organs. Have also read this when researching. I would want to know for certain who supported that Dr’s research as the interests of the dewormer pill industry sure doesn’t want an easy fix and to lose all that money.
And are the worms exoskeleton able to be penetrated. Possibly
Can we still eat the eggs from our chickens while their eating diatomaceous earth
DE is good for humans too. so YES
Sounds like it here www.diatomaceousearthonline.com.au/blog/our-blog/using-diatomaceous-earth-with-poultry/#:~:text=Hens%20who%20eat%20a%20diet,by%20hens%20who%20do%20not.
Please stick closely to topic. Also the guy said he doesn't know of studies, he didn't say there were no studies that said that there was no positive effect. There simply hasn't been any real studies doesn't mean that it doesn't work this isn't responsible.
😅 yep knew exactly what the doctor was going to say!!
I started giving it to my cat and she use to be constipated a lot. Now, her poo come out long as they look probably sitting in her intestines, also, the worms I didn't see b4, I see them coming out, out I'm definitely buying vet dewomer now that I see the worms.
I'm giving that to my cat until the vet can see us. Kitty is not only energetic, but eating (he wasn't eating) and you are probably missing the worms being expelled, and/or it's a different type, and/or you're right. It's doing something good though. Whatever it is, however small. I'll update you if you reply & remind me 👍
Btw good luck to you and your poor cat. 🤗❤️🐈

LOL
"[The vets don't recommend using natural remedies, go to them and pay for their chemicals instead.]"
I clicked this video knowing that vets wouldn't promote diatomaceous Earth because it loses them money, but I was curious of the type of double-speak they would use to say it.
"We aren't aware of any studies" could also be explained by them not performing any unbiased experiments ;]
*edit*: After seeing tapeworm segments in my kitten's stool several days in a row, I decided to give her a tablespoon of Diatomaceous Earth in her wet food. I did this 3 times (once per day for 3 days, first dose of DE was 1/4 tablespoon to see how she would react). On the 5th day she released a disgusting pile of soft, muddy feces that I assume contained the remains of the deceased tapeworm. It's been over a week and I haven't seen any tapeworm segments in any of her droppings, and I check them very thoroughly.
I will return in 2 weeks, likely confirming that there are no more segments of tapeworm in her poop, and therefore none in her digestive tract as well.
**edit: The diatomaceous Earth is absolutely effective at removing tapeworm from cats. Both of my cats were affected this year, and I saw a video about putting DE in their dry food. They were both cured within days
If the lying, money-hungry fucks in the vet offices across Earth want a study that proves Diatomaceous Earth is SUCCESSFUL at treating certain internal parasites, there you go.
Don't trust snakeoil salesmen, or the cute little life you're responsible for may suffer.
My powder I got is greyish brown color ..... It has not got rid of my cats hookworms... I've been using it for a week everyday... I'm seeing it being the color white in videos but mines is light brown color......
Hi Danielle. I purchased my DE from Earth's Answers on You Tube It worked for my kittens.
Danielle Laing thats what mine looks like to lol I love mine
@@brainmaze3634 It is mined, crushed, sifted, bagged and pure white in color. It contains less than .5% silicon. There are food grade diatomaceous earth products that are yellow or tan in color which indicates a higher iron content. Those which are gray in color contain more clay. It is very important to only obtain food grade diatomaceous earth to use in and around your household.
It has worked wonders for both myself and my pets. It's unbelievable that no research has been done to confirm this.
I agree. I use it with my dogs and cats and chickens. I have even taken it myself. And I have used it to kill ants that got into my tortoise enclosure.
I like how u guys didn't respond to any of the comments, because you no you're wrong.

Everyone and every pet should be consuming DE every day!!
really
As if they would support a natural treatment. 🙄 It works great as a parasite/worm cleanse in both humans and animals.
I used it for myself and it works. Pharmaceuticals are liars.
Wow....
We run a small cat rescue. We use this as a dewormer, and it absolutely works! Make sure to get "food grade" DE and do the math, so each kitty gets the correct amount for their weight. We do this by the bag, because it saves time and we have bags dedicated to each weight class. It has numerous benefits for your feline babies!🐈 We also use it to get rid of fleas and ticks! Since we started using DE 3 years ago, we haven't had any of our cats get worms or fleas. Our vet told us that just because there isn't an "official scientific study", doesn't mean that it doesn't work and if you paid someone enough money, they'd say the sun is blue. Doesn't mean that it is.
Where do you order it and what is the amount that you use for the babies ?
I am running a rescue right now and the chemical dewormers on the market are causing spontaneous deaths in cats right now, so that is absolutely NOT an option!!!
@lindseys8039 Hi Lindsey's! You can buy DE in most hardware stores. Just make sure that you purchase "Food Grade" DE. For a 15lb to 22lb bag of cat food, this is what we do.
1. Empty half of the bag into a clean bucket.
2. With the half left in the bag, use 1 cup of DE. Put into the bag. Shake vigorously. The DE will adhere to the feed. Make sure to shake it up until the feed is well-coated.
3. Put the second half of the feed back in the bag.
4. Add 3/4 of a cup of DE to the feed bag.
5. Shake until well coated.
6. Let the feed rest for 3 hours. It helps the DE adhere to the fatty acids in the feed.
7. Feed your kitties! Still feed them the regular amount you usually do. The DE doesn't change the flavor of the feed. At least, our fur babies cain't tell the difference.
In addition, we do the DE feeding 3 months on and 3 months off. I've never seen another worm since we started this 4 years ago. We have about 25 cats at any given time, so we go through a 15-lb to 22-lb bag of feed in a couple of days. So, we do 3 bags of this every month. So, for about a week. I dunno how big your herd is, lol, but we feed ours twice a day. It makes them feel better in the evenings. When we first started, we only fed them once a day, but they'd get upset with each other in the evenings. After we split the feeding for them to twice a day, they seem much happier. We already feed our Mama's twice a day. We haven't given the pregnant Mom's DE feed. Also, we wait to give it to the babies until they're 4 months old. I didn't read that anywhere, but my husband and I thought it was a good idea because the babies' systems are sensitive when they're younger.
I hope this helps you and your fur babies have happier days.
It works. It's even used for humans. Smh.
I wish I could see the amount of dislikes on this video, but im going to assume it’s ratioed.
And "he's really smart" like we're all dummies
No! Give me your money instead!
pretty much
Of course the big smart man is going to say it doesn't work, because there wouldn't be any money to be made selling all the chemicals. It works. I just tried it and in about a week I had multiple cats throwing up the round worms. If I never tried it, I would not have known the cats had the worms. It works and it cheap so everyone can afford it!!!!!
Big pharma telling us no. Hah!
No money in nature.
Apparently all you have to do is throw PhD behind your name and throw out a couple of continents and that means you're perfect and everything you say and do in your field of work. Well that is not real, that's pretentious. These two should have done their own research instead of asking one person
Thank you. You answered my question of the day. Guess I will stick to using it to kill bugs!
So who pays for the studies?
Similar deal with the climate change lie, whoever pays for the research gets the result they want
