The Detox Super Powers Of Diatomaceous Earth

While looking for a pest control for my garden I ran across diatomaceous earth. After reading about all the health benefits of taking a tablespoon a day with lots of water, I decided to give it a try.  A DE detox. As the story would go, I immediately, within a few days, noticed my nails started growing like crazy.  Then after a few more days of using it 1-2 times a day with water, I watched as my skin became clear and youthful looking again. On the flip side, I was also becoming very sick! I started to feel nauseous all the time with a headache and pain, almost like the flu.  In fact, I thought for a moment I had the flu. But I never get the flu, so that threw me off. Then I looked up the side effects and realized what was happening. My body was detoxing the bad bacteria from my body and I was experiencing die-off.  Come to find out, die-off is a good sign!  That means the DE is doing it's job.  If you drink lot's of water and continue to use DE in smaller amounts, gradually you will not be effected by it and you will know, once the die-off dies off, that you have balanced your gut flora, for the time being. 

​Diatomaceous Earth is an off-white, fine powder that is the fossilized remains of marine phytoplankton. It is 99% pure Silica.  Silica helps the body use Calcium.  It also repairs vital collagen which, in turn, contributes to healthy bones, ligaments, joints, cartilage and skin. Food-grade DE also contains 15 trace minerals, including calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron, phosphorous, selenium, copper, zinc and potassium.  

​DE is safe to take on a daily basis.  Again, if you are taking meds, always check with your doctor first.  But for the average healthy person, taking DE daily has numerous benefits! I notice right away my skin looks more youthful.  I also get boosts of energy from taking DE.  Rule of thumb is to start out with 1-2 teaspoons a day for a week or two, then move up to 1 tablespoon/twice a day. There are no rules with DE, just be sure not to accidentally inhale it or get it in your eyes.  It's best to use a plastic spoon when mixing it in water or smoothie.  As far as how to take it and how often, that is a personal decision and whatever is comfortable for you.  

​DE works by traveling through the stomach and intestines, literally scraping the walls and then dehydrating and killing any parasites, bacterial and  fungal infections.  To get an idea of how hard the edges of the silica crystals are, on a hardness scale diamonds are ranked at a 9.  DE is ranked at a 7.  By scraping and ridding the body of these energy zombies from your gut, you will feel more awake and coherent.  Daily use contributes to the following.  

• Hair Growth
