Diatomaceous Earth – DE Dialogue

&#thirteen;

I ran throughout some references to DE (diatomaceous earth aka Fossel Shell Flour) in a few posts and my curiosity used to be piqued. DE is the fossilized continues to be of a specific kind of prehistoric plankton that has some wonderful houses when pulverized right into a high quality powder. So I did some research and found there is a whole raft of things DE can address in the body because of its paracidal and cleansing properties.

I have been thinking about doing a parasite cleanse for a while, and just hadn’t gotten there yet. I’m in mid P2 at the moment, which is a great time to do a cleanse, since you are basically on an elimination diet anyway. DE is an inert substance which has no food value, so I don’t see any issue with using it during P2.

I’ve gotten myself some food grade diatomaceous earth and want to see if it helps me in several others areas that I have had no success in. (BHRT didn’t even touch my hot flashes) These are things that have been reported benefits of DE. Mainly I’m looking for help in these areas:

Sleep quality

Hot Flashes

Digestive regularity

Better blood pressure control

I plan to update this topic with any results if and when I get them.

VERY IMPORTANT….you have to use the food grade from a freshwater source to do this safely—there is a industrial grade of DE that has been heat treated and is mainly crystalline silica which is hazardous. This is the type used in swimming pool filters. You do not want to ingest that type of DE. The food grade DE is mainly amorphous silica which is harmless to the body, but deadly to parasites and has been reported to benefit our systems in a lot of ways.

I’m starting at 1 tsp. per day mixed into water and will build up quickly to 1 T per day (the recommended dose) if I don’t get any negative reaction. I understand that if you have parasites and don’t start off gradually, you can get some bad flu-like symptoms from dying parasites and whatever they release into to your system on their way out. From what I’ve read, it doesn’t seem to matter when you take it, but I’m going to dose at night because of my sleep issues. It additionally appears logical to let it do its work without needing to care for digestive approaches on the related time.

Some of the stated unwanted side effects of DE supplementation appears to be more advantageous hair increase, more advantageous nails, and higher pores and skin high quality. That is now not my major intention, however sounds excellent if it comes together with the opposite stuff.
