Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
to be honest, i am not sure just how much silica can be absorbed from DE. most of it is not soluble kind... just kinda like sand, only different in consistency and shape...
but then i don't know how much silica we'd need so, i'm just thinking here... if you read around long enough, you'll see some very hateful articles talking about relation of silica to lupus, and many other diseases, and how DE should be banned, etc. which is just nonsense, b/c there is a world of difference b/w industrially used, processed DE, and silica from other sources, and pure food grade DE. those folks truly don't know there 's a difference. it's like banning corn, b/c of corn syrup. for me, DE just makes my intestines feel better. settles my stomach... i 'd love to see what it does long term. i take 2 tbsp once a day as long after dinner as i can... both clay and de make me and ds constipated, but not dh all i have to do is take some mag citrate (which i have to add to my cal mag to change the ratio when the spirit moves me so) and i'm back to normal. i would say that de and clay should be followed with a full glass of fluid, which i don't do, so that's probably why the constipation. lessee, what else oh, i ain't gonna lie, it's gross but goes best in chocolate, chai, coffee, coke. i only mix it in a small amount, like 2 oz or so, then this is *important* i drink it while having water ready. and *before taking a breath or exhaling* put the water to your lips and drink a few sips. then you can't take you ever took it at all! no flavor, no nuffin

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
My eczema took a turn for the worse last night and today. If this can help, I'm trying it. Unfortunately, the feed store isn't answering their phone now. probably closed for Good Friday. I'll try calling on Monday.

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
I personally want to throw up taking clay, but I just mix my DE and chlorella in some apple juice and drink it all in one try before it settles. I use about 8 oz of juice though. It's not bad to me at all. And I am a wuss like that.

Re: Diatomacious Earth ( DE ) thread :)
did you get this at a local feed store - as in livestock feed, or pet store feed?
