I started when I had been sick for 4 months with a weird cough/throat problem and found out it was due to the BP
refinery in Texas City Tx NOT fixing a major part.
This went on for 4 months and BP basically had no filter
on and major pollution was in the air.
This happened right about the same time of the gulf bp explosion...
Well I found out Diatomaceous Earth removes benzene and toxins so I gave it a try...
first yes it does get rid of worms and after about 7 months my throat stopped hurting...
there is silica in there so it really makes your hair and nails and bones stronger.....
after 1 year I had lost most of the pain I had and last month I fell from the truck flat on my back and thought I'm sure this will hurt,,,,,I never had any pain ...
for me it's a keeper
We have used DE for years to keep our horses wormed...works well. We give it to them free choice mixed with salt. We get it in 50 lb bags, @ $30/bag.
It is food grade and we also use it internally ourselves.
There is another grade, Red Lake Earth (organic), that is 65% DE and 35% Calcium Bentonite. This is really great for animals or people...it deals with parasites and the bentonite absorbs toxins. This is actually more cost effective than the pure DE, but the animals seem to prefer the pure DE over the Red Lake Earth.
If you have cats or dogs in the house, dust their sleeping area with DE...controls fleas.
