Remarkable Diatomaceous
Earth health benefits through Silica
As previously noted, like most wonderful natural products,
this product requires an FDA Disclaimer: "This information
is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Discussion of Diatomaceous Earth health benefits is based
solely on personal experience and testimony shared by individual
DE users and this company cannot market or label DE as a human
health supplement with specific medical claims." Having
said that, we look at what consumers say about DE
and at evidence of DE's important cleansing properties and
value as a rich source of Silica.
Diatomaceous Earth (DE) has been
reported to absorb methyl mercury, E. coli, endotoxins, viruses
(including poliovirus), organophosphate pesticide residues,
and drug residues. DE is a natural organic colon cleanser
and detoxifier. This cleansing and detoxification alone has
a myriad of positive effects in the human body. Mechanisms
are cited on "How DE Works" page. Adding to this is the widespread
deficiency in human dietary sources of what is called "the
most important trace element in human health" - Silica, and
how rich DE is in this substance, we begin to understand the
basis of the health benefits that so many have attested to.
Only a trace amount of the DE silica is absorbed into the
blood stream, and just that amount is a substantial gain for
the user.
A growing number of people count
beneficial human side effects of Diatomaceous Earth and SILICA
as being nothing short of vital to their well being and exhibit
genuine devotion toward its use. The only cautionary side
effect that we have found relating to Food Grade DE has to
do with direct inhalation and is essentially the same caution
that is advised when handling baby powder. DE is a very fine
powder.
Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is 89% Silica.
It was established in the 1940s that life
can't exist without Silica. More recently, in her book "Water
& Salt" Dr. Barbara Hendel states: "Silica is
the most important trace element in human health."
Silica plays an important role in many bodily functions and
has a direct relationship to mineral absorption.
The average human body holds approximately
seven grams of silica, needing significantly more silica than
even important minerals such as iron. Most people are, in
fact, silica deficient. Among other things, enough silica
in the body is vital enough for calcium absorbtion to allow
calcium supplements to work. If Silica deficient, as is the
case in the vast majority of us, calcium supplementation can
even be a negative. Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is an excellent
natural and organic source of silica.
Other Reported Health Benefits of Silica / DE Include
Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Osteoperosis, Weight Loss, Cosmetics,
Hair, Nails, Teeth & Gums, Energy, Bacteria, Mucus, Anti-Aging,
Urinary Infections, Headache.

Here's what consumers have to say about Diatomaceous Earth:
Lower High Blood Pressure
Of the thousands of people that are using Diatomaceous Earth,
most that have high blood pressure have reported that it has
gone down. It has been so thrilling to talk to people all
over the United States and have them tell their stories. We
are not just talking a few points - we are talking about LIFE-CHANGING
numbers. Doctors are amazed--customers are amazed. You will
be, too.
Lower
High Cholesterol
According to consumers, just as Diatomaceous Earth
health benefits include lowering blood pressure, it has also
been lowering cholesterol! I have not talked with one person
that has high cholesterol that has not had lower numbers after
taking Diatomaceous Earth. Most are reporting 40-60 points
lower after only 2 weeks on DE. I know it sounds too good
to be true, but it works!
Just received
this feedback from a user..
"I have been on DE for 6 months now and I just had my lab
work done. My triglycerides have been reduced from 495 down
to 203. I have so much more energy and my hair and nails are
growing so much better. My husband has had high blood pressure
and since being on the dirt, his BP is now in the normal range.
It has also helped with my varicose veins and I no longer
have any pain from them.."

Osteoporosis, Joints
& Calcium
Osteoporosis is a symptom of the aging process. As
calcium in our body system depletes, our bones become brittle
and weak. Taking only a calcium supplement cannot correct
or stop this threatening and crippling disease because the
body cannot assimilate and make use of the calcium without
the presence of silica. Evidence suggests that, instead of
affecting healing, supplemental mineral calcium, on the contrary,
accelerates the leaching away of bone calcium and thus hastens
the degenerative process of osteoporosis and similar diseases
that affect the supportive and connective tissues in the human
body. The Silica found in Diatomaceous Earth enhances calcium
absorbtion.
For
Osteoporosis
Silica can stop the pain and even restore the body's self
repair process. Osteoporosis symptoms attack women primarily
after menopause but the degenerative process starts much earlier
in their younger days. More women are dying of fractures caused
by osteoporosis than of cancer of the breast, cervix, and
uterus combined. Silica is responsible for
the depositing of minerals into the bones, especially calcium.
It speeds up the healing of fractures and also reduces scarring
at the site of a fracture. More and more research evidence
shows that through a transmutation process, silica is turned
into calcium when it is needed. That is why some scientists
refer to silica as a precursor of calcium. Even when calcium
is insufficient, the body can turn silica into calcium that
the bones need.
Natural
Weight Loss
We have been getting hundreds of reports from all
over the United States that DE is helping people lose weight.
Everyone is saying that DE taken in the morning helps curb
their appetite throughout the day. Just one more reason to
take it everyday!
Detox Your Body
Diatomaceous Earth health benefits reported to inlude
detox! According to Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, CCN and Galen D.
Knight, PhD in their article "Mad as a Hatter" there is no
better product to detox HEAVY METALS and
RADIATION from your body than with Food Grade
Diatomaceous Earth!
Nature's Internal Cosmetic
In Europe and Asia, Diatomaceous Earth health benefits
are widely recognized to include use as a health and beauty
product for hair, skin, nails, bones, and joints. They have
no FDA.
Tissue
Degeneration
Accelerates due to aging when connective tissue develops an
increasing inability to retain moisture when left unassisted.
Silica can help slow the degenerative process of connective
tissue. With silica, vitality and life, which are often lost
as the years accumulate, can be naturally maintained or even
restored to your skin. Collagen, largely made up of silica,
is the glue that holds us together. If our body has enough
silica glucosaminoglycane, the collagen will make us look
younger. Silica helps with skin problems and injuries including
itching, rashes, abscesses, boils, acne, callouses, warts,
eczemas, burns, frostbite, benign skin sores, insect bites
and bed sores. If you regularly follow a silica regimen,
your skin will keep its youthful look. A good silica
supplementation program works far better than other products
for maintaining healthier and longer lasting collagen.
Hair That Grows
Hair is nature's greatest beauty enhancer. Hair deserves
to be pampered. Hair at 90 micrograms per gram is almost as
rich in silica as are healthy bones, which contain 100 micrograms
per gram. Silica is a major component of hair. Using a good
silica supplement should be part of your ongoing hair care
program for revitalizing hair. Silica helps to prevent baldness,
stimulates healthier hair growth and assures beautiful shine,
luster and strength.
Teeth and Gums
By hardening the enamel, silica prevents cavities and preserves
teeth. Silica also prevents bleeding gums, gum atrophy, and
recession that causes the loosening of teeth, which could
ultimately lead to tooth loss. Silica effectively fights ulceration
and the decay of bones and teeth and also lessens inflammation.
Tough
As Nails
Your nail plates are complex protein structures that
grow four to five millimeters per month on average. With silica
supplementation, fragile nails become normal within a short
period of time. Silica will beautify the appearance of your
nails and improve their hardness, making them shinier and
less prone to breaking.
Restorative
Effects Of Silica
This will be most noticeable on your hair, skin, nails and
teeth. Our skin and hair require silica essentially for the
same purpose as do other tissues. As we know, the supporting
collagen underneath the skin enhances elasticity and beauty.
Collagen owes that quality to silica, which provides a beautiful
complexion that is more than skin deep.
Pubic Lice (Crabs) and Hair Lice
Dust Diatomaceous Earth on all areas of the body
that are infested with the Lice (Crabs). Also dust your bedding
and rooms you have been in.
More Reported Benefits Of
Diatomaceous Earth:
- Silica lowers bad cholesterol
and raises good
- Silica fades age spots
- Silica stimulates metabolism
for higher energy levels
- Diatomaceous Earth has a
negative charge and bacteria has a positive charge. It is
believed that Diatomaceous Earth sweeps bacteria out of
the body by trapping it in its honeycomb shaped skeletal
form.
- Silica supplementation helps
repair and maintain vital lung tissue and protects them
from pollution. By maintaining or restoring the elasticity
of lung tissue, silica reduces inflammation in bronchitis.
- It acts as a cough decreasing
agent. Silica tones the upper respiratory tract (nose, pharynx,
larynx) and reduces swelling because of its positive action
on the lymphatic system.
- Silica supplementation keeps
menopause free of stress and helps to prevent many unwanted
side effects of menopause
- Silica works with other antioxidants
to prevent premature aging and to preserve youthfulness.
- Silica can help prevent kidney
stones and heal infections of the urinary tract. It is a
natural diuretic which can increase excretion of urine by
30 percent, thus flushing the water-excreting system and
restoring normal function to these vital organs.
- The presence of sufficient
silica in the intestines will reduce inflammation of the
intestinal tract. It can cause disinfection in the case
of stomach and intestinal mucus and ulcers. Silica can prevent
or clear up diarrhea and its opposite, constipation.
- Silica will help normalize
hemorrhoidal tissues.
- In regulating and normalizing
the bowels, silica has a pleasant side effect; it can alleviate
lower back pain, which often troubles the elderly.
- Silica proves effective with
female discharge, abscesses and ulcers in the genital area
and cervix, as well as mastitis (especially for breast feeding
mothers).
- The intake of silica acts
as a supportive treatment for inflammation of the middle
ear. Because of the beneficial effectiveness on the lymphatic
system, silica can be used for swelling of the lymph nodes
in the throat.
- Has anti-inflammatory disinfecting,
absorbing and odor binding effects.
- Silica can normalize circulation
and regulate high blood pressure (hypertension).
- Silica can decrease vertigo,
headache, tinnitus (buzzing of the ears) and insomnia.
- Silica can help diabetes
by promoting synthesis of elastase inhibitor by the pancreas.
- Silica can help arterial
disease by strengthening the blood vessels. Studies confirm
that with age, silica disappears from the aorta, the heart's
key blood vessel, thus weakening its critical connective
tissue and resulting in a greater cardiac risk.
- Silica can help prevent Tuberculosis.
- By improving the elasticity
of the joints, silica helps rheumatism.
- Silica has inhibitory effects
on coronary diseases.
- Silica can help avoiding
or alleviating Alzheimer's disease by preventing the body
from absorbing aluminum and may flush out aluminum from
the tissues. Silica can stimulate the immune system.
USAGE:
Most who use Diatomaceous Earth mixed with a juice
or liquid say that they use one to two tablespoons daily.
