Default Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)

Our bodies require a certain amount of silica daily (i think its a tablespon? i once sited the amount here on gcm somewhere but its been awhile, maybe someone else knows, and can confirm that) . normally we would get it through our foods and water. but things have changed in this day and age that we often have to supplement what we can no longer naturally get. so depending on how much silica you are getting in your daily diet will depend on how much and if you should continously take it. Personally, we only take it as needed. Like when someone starts having growing or joint pains, or jaw pain, or teeth grinding.

I use to have asthma and I can say that DE bothered the heck out of it. If i was having some tenderness and drank my usual tablespoon, ouch!!. Same with when i would have colds that bothered my lungs, ouch! I guess its different for different people.

And clay does not clog up your pipes, so to speak It drives me batty to hear that but read it a lot on peoples sites. There are a lot of reasons that someone can get stopped up and not pass the clay, and whatever else in their intestines, but the clay is not the reason. Taking it with psyllium, in my opinion isnt good for you. If you need a supplement to take clay then you arent using it right. Also, the type of clay a person takes will effect how it passes through the intestines. Which is why we need to read and learn about the different silicas we take. They react differently.
Oh! and sometimes, DE can make things feel scratchy as a stool is being passed. That's not a good sign and shouldnt be ignored. If all these different clays and dirts are used properly and patiently, no one should be having discomfort. Thats why i am such a huge believer in "dirt" a little goes a long way.
