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.."
.. Rhonda from Louisiana
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.
