Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
How big is this bag? I called a local feed store yesterday and they sell theirs for under $20, and she said it pretty much costs the same as the 5 or 10 pound container. I don't need 50# but I'm wondering how large a bag is this?

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
Funny you should ask, because I took a picture.
That section of my desk is 4ft long, so I'm guessing the bag is close to 3ft by approx. 18inches. |

It is like flour. Ashley, I've thought about cooking with it, but wondered if it would still work the same yk?

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
Hmmm, good question....Well, didn't "me" say she made brownies? Or was that with bentonite clay?
A google search helped me find this recipe for cookies with DE... http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Alm...Cookies-353862 This page says... Quote:

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
What would be some potential side effects? Does it effect medication or absorption of vitamins and minerals? How does it effect the good gut bacteria? Do you find you need to increase your probiotic intake ?

Also, my friend just told me she read that silica is great for hair, nails, and bones--better than taking calcium supplements. ---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ---------- She said people used to get silica in their diets, but since we've changed to a more modern diet, people get very little.

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
I have been diligent about taking it since this thread started so maybe 4-5 days. My bones feel SO much better, it's not even funny. Most of the winter i was good just taking cal/mag and Vit D every day so I couldn't figure out what was going on now that it's spring. I've lost a couple pounds too which is great because I've been stuck for a while irt weight loss. Why did I forget how great it is?

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
I think she said something about the soil, but since DE comes from plankton in the ocean, I'm not sure. Maybe there is silica in soil? . I'll do some research and get back to you.

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
silica is in things like millet, animal feet and bones... we just don't get that much of it anymore

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
right.. we don't eat stocks made from bones.. that is probably where they got the most of it. Millet also isn't as readily eaten.
