Uses for Diatomaceous Earth

What is Diatomaceous Earth?

• Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a soft powder formed from the fossilized remains of diatoms (a type of hard shelled algae).

• It is commonly used in things like toothpaste, as an anti-caking aid, for clarifying beer or wine, or to eliminate pests naturally.

• DE has a very high silica content (which is used to build hair, skin and nails).

• It is very hard and looks like a tiny tube with holes in it when viewed through a microscope.

• It has a very strong negative charge.

What Does Diatomaceous Earth Do?

• DE is a great natural way to kill insects and pests (including intestinal parasites), gently cleanse the digestive system, and improve hair, skin, nails, and teeth.

• The strong negative charge of diatomaceous earth means that it naturally attaches to and removes from the body things like: chemicals, viruses, bacteria, heavy metals and even radiation.

We used DE when our son was on the GAPS diet and

struggling with food intolerance issues. DE

made a noticeable difference in his attitude

and digestion.

I occasionally sprinkle some DE on our pets’ food to keep them from getting worms.

Notes and Cautions

• It is VERY IMPORTANT to only use Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth for consumption. Other forms of DE are not considered safe and can be harmful to the lungs if inhaled. 

• Since DE can cause a detox reaction, it is important to work up slowly.
