Diatomaceous Earth (Food Grade only)

Diatomaceous Earth (DE) has many applications.  Some of the things that people are using DE for are as follows:

Human Use:

DE is source of available silica.  Silica is a major mineral we all need that is lacking in our foodstuffs today.  Most are taking 1 tablespoon on DE per day in juice, water, pop, applesauce, yogurt, protein shake, or liquid of their choice.

1.  Sore joints feeling better

2.  Lower cholesterol (usually 50-75 points lower)

3.  Lowering high blood pressure

4.  Keeping blood sure levels stable

5.  More energy

6.  Healthier skin softer, less inching, faster healing, psoriasis gone

7.  Stronger and healthier nails and hair

8.  Calming nerves and better sleep

9.  Aid in weight loss (believe me it works!)

10. Cleansing digestive tract of parasites

 

Pets:

DE takes care of fleas, ticks, mites, on the outside and worms and parasites on the inside.  DE is non-drug and non-chemical.

DE kills bugs by scratching them- no chemical are involved.

 1.  Dusting DE on the coats of dogs and cats for flea, tick and lice control

2.  Adding DE to food each day for worm and parasite control

3.  Adding DE to food for joint, skin, and hair coat health

4.  Using on birds for lice and mite control

5.  Applying to moist kennel areas for pest and order control

 

Organic Insect Control:

DE is totally drug and chemical free.  Not only is DE safe to use, bugs cannot become immune to its effects like they do with chemicals.  DE kills all insects by scratching off their waxy protective coating causing them to dehydrate.  Most insects die in an hour or so.

1.  Dusting on gardens, flowers, plants, bushes and frees

2.  Applying a 2 inch border around foundation of their house

3.  Sprinkling in and around animal and pet housing

4.  Pouring on and down ant hills (including fire ants)

5.  Spreading over large areas with a fertilizer spreader or duster

6.  Sprinkling in carpet, furniture, etc to kill infestations

7.  Mixing with water and spraying or whitewashing infested areas

8.  Adding to store grain or foodstuffs.

9.  Dusting in studding during construction to create a permanent bug guard
