Diatomaceous Earth 100% (Fresh Water) FDA Codex Food Grade OMRI
What Is Diatomaceous Earth? Diatomaceous Earth is 84% Silicon Dioxide (Silica) Diatomaceous earth consists of fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae. Fossil evidence suggests that they originated during, or before, the early Jurassic Period. Diatoms encase themselves in an outer cell wall called a frustrule which is composed of silica. The buildup of trillions of these shells forms a crumbly white sediment known as diatomaceous earth. Silica is available in a number of foods, such as wheat, oats and barley. However, it often is depleted from foods due to processing, making supplementation necessary. Silica supplementation has been shown to help the body in numerous ways. Material supplied by Eidon, based in San Diego, CA points out that silica has a variety of health and beauty care (HBC) benefits. It has demonstrated an ability to help the body deal with dry skin and associated conditions, brittle nails, hair thinning, dandruff and burns (including sunburn). In addition to these benefits, the company says, silica may help the body in its internal defense of joint and cartilage inflammation and deterioration, bone support, cardiovascular support, vertigo, colon cleanser,acne, age spots, psoriasis, tooth and gum loss, provide gastrointestinal support, and immune system enhancement. Since silica works from within, people taking it for its beauty effects also may experience these other benefits. “Fresh, natural beauty comes from within,” says Edward A. Lemmo, Ph.D. in Silica. It is reflected in the user’s shiny hair, clear skin and strong nails. He says, “It’s the kind of beauty that cannot be obtained through the artificial use of cosmetic creams, lotions or hair conditioners.” “Truly, silica gel can care for the skin in a unique way like no other skin care,” asserts Klaus Kaufmann, author of Silica: The Amazing Gel. He explains that it is a general tonic that increases strength and elasticity against a variety of negative influences. He adds that, unlike other skin care products, silica can be used internally or externally. “It has a double action on damaged skin by restoring skin vitality from within to without and without to within.” Externally, he says, silica is effective for itching, rashes, abscesses, boils, acne, calluses, warts, eczema, corns, benign skin sores, insect bites and bed sores. Internally, he recommends it for hair loss, brittle nails, flabby skin, aging disorders and more. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ MORE REASONS YOU SHOULD USE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH (Silica) References: (Alzheimer Dis Assoc Disord 98; 12(2):83-7) (J Inorg Biochem 98;69(3):171-6) (Lancet 93;342:211-212) (Chem Toxic 93;31(9)679- 685) Calomme, M.R. et al.

The recommended daily intake for silica varies greatly between authors. Most authoritative sources recommend that the daily intake should be between 5-20mg daily. Other sources recommend much higher intakes (based on traditional diets) ranging between 100-1000mg daily, although these high levels may not be necessary to obtain the health benefits of silica – and safety above 50mg daily has not been established and so should not be recommended.

Supplemental use of organic silica ensures that an adequate amount of silica is continuously available to the body. With adequate intake, enough assimilation of the vital nutrient can be assured even when the body’s ability to assimilate is impaired. Any excess silica not needed by the body is automatically eliminated through the blood stream, kidneys and intestines. All of us need silica, regardless of our age. It is as important to give the body dietary sources of silica early in life as it is during the aging process when silica levels in tissue usually drop off steeply. Silica has a direct influence on absorption of all minerals that the body requires to maintain health. Silica adds to the quality of life, and improves stamina and appearance. For remineralization purposes, such as bone mending, four to eight times that amount should be ingested until silica therapy has proven successful. This is best done under the supervision of your physician. Scientists believe that silica exists in the body in three forms: (a) a soluble form, accounting for ten percent of the Body’s silica; (b) a form combined with lipids and accounting for thirty percent; and (c) a form combined with proteins accounting for the remaining sixty percent. This explains that our daily requirement of silica is quite high. In order for us to now lay down the foundations for shaping and building our body five, ten or even thirty years down the road, we should turn to foods and supplements that furnish us with our daily requirement of 20-30 mg of silica.

Adapted from David Pittman’s 10/7/99 writings. When you start detoxifying you may get a reaction from the die-off of parasites, microbes, etc. You must remember two things: (1) drink lots of water to flush the body, and (2) always start out slowly with low doses of food-grade diatomaceous earth. Start with 1 level teaspoon in 8 oz. water before breakfast. Then take another 1 teaspoon in water before going to bed. Warm distilled water is best, but any water will work. Gradually increase your dosage of food-grade diatomaceous earth up to 3 level tablespoons per day. I sometimes forget in the morning and may add it in my oatmeal or juice later. Anyway, I try to consume 3 tablespoons per day one way or another. Try to do this for 4 months. After this I recommend 1 level teaspoon in your favorite drink at least once a day as maintenance. I have read a lot of articles about the benefits of silica for humans. Older people and chronic diseased people are almost always low on silica. People just do not have enough silica in their diets! Believing this to be true, I try daily to drink 1 quart food-grade diatomaceous earth water in addition to 3 level teaspoon food-grade powder added to my food or drink. To make food-grade diatomaceous earth water, add ½ teaspoon food-grade diatomaceous earth to 1 quart distilled water and bring to a boil. Then stir for about 3 minutes. You must use distilled water because it dissolves better. Do not boil the water in aluminum pans and do not microwave food-grade diatomaceous earth. Some silica may still settle out, but if that happens, just stir or shake it. The whole purpose is to dissolve the silica in distilled water so as to increase the bioavailability of silica for absorption into the blood stream. I then drink it like a hot tea or cool it and fill my water bottle with this solution. I try to drink it throughout the day and not all at once. I call silica the mineral of light because it absorbs heat and stores light energy. Silica will absorb this energy until it becomes a negative charged ion; then it releases electrons and repeats this cycle over and over again. Numerous studies show how electrons neutralize free radicals and bacteria. My research also indicates silica is a critical mineral essential for the body’s electrical system to function properly. Silica electrically stimulates collagen formation and chemically makes collagen strong and flexible. Based on the history of this product. I recommend giving food-grade diatomaceous earth powder to all pets. We give it to our pets daily. Small animals can drink from unclean water from time to time, so I would add at least a teaspoon to their food on a continual basis. I use it as a mouthwash and add to my flour, rice, and grains as a preservative. Finally, I use it as a first aid powder for minor cuts and wounds on my children. I do not give DE to any of my puppies, kittens, or babies. |

| * Cautions: There are hundreds of diatomaceous earth mines in the USA, but only a handful have food-grade diatomaceous earth. There are many different grades and levels of Diatomaceous Earth, that are used for different purposes. Only use food grade, fresh water, fossil shell flour diatomaceous earth for humans or animals. Do not use swimming pool diatomaceous earth for humans or animals. It is chemically treated and can cause serious health problems or even death to a pet. Do not put diatomaceous earth in the microwave oven. This information in this web site is for informational and educational purposes only. Please consult a health care professional or physician regarding the applicability of any opinion or recommendations with respect to your symptoms or medical condition. No statement in this information should be construed as a claim for cure, treatment or prevention of any disease. If you have asthma or some other lung ailment, either wear a mask or be very careful when using food grade diatomaceous earth. Try not to breath the fine particles of dust. Do NOT get diatomaceous earth in the eyes. Diatomaceous Earth is drying to the eyes, so do NOT put it out when you or your pets are down wind of it. Diatomaceous Earth is drying to your skin, hands, and feet, just as it can be to your pets. I put a towel over my pets head when applying, after the fine particles settle I take the towel off. Do NOT give to very small pregnant animals such as cats, guinea pigs, etc. and do NOT feed continually to babies or small animals such as cats, hamsters, etc. Diatomaceous Earth can be fed on a continuous basis to larger animals and livestock for continuous parasite control and mineralization. Do NOT use heavily in carpet. Some advise too much diatomaceous earth causes vacuum problems. The dust clogs the cleaner. NEVER use pool filter grade diatomaceous earth around animals. It can poison or kill them. Some people experience a healing crisis (detox reaction) when beginning diatomaceous earth consumption. If this occurs, reduce the dose, till your body is cleansed, and then increase to the RDA. Remember, diatomaceous earth will kill beneficial insects as well, so use accordingly. I try to avoid putting diatomaceous earth on flowers or places where beneficial insects may stay. Check with your doctor before making any diet change or adding vitamins or supplements. Check with your doctor for advice on health issues of any kind. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |

In the household, with pets, on plants, around livestock, and for stored grain. It is totally natural and organic and listed with OMRI. Some say "There is no life without Silica". "Silica is the most important trace mineral for human health!" Silica plays an important role in many body functions and has a direct relationship to mineral absorption. The average human body holds approximately seven grams of silica, a quantity far exceeding the figures for other important minerals such as iron. How Diatomaceous Earth Works
DE users. This better feeling comes from all the junk being removed from the body and by giving our immune system the "jump start" it needs.
as those millions of tiny hard and sharp DE cylinders pass through the small and large intestines, they "scrub" the walls. After only a few months of taking DE, the intestine wall is no longer coated with mucus and molds but CLEAN!! The advantages of this are:
2. Healthier Colon. This is especially important as we get older. A clean healthy colon keeps away polyps, cancers, and ulcers. Today, many are spending thousands of dollars for colon cleaning procedures and products, to do the same thing that DE does. Many users report increased energy and needing less sleep. This is a result of all the food and nutrients that are taken in being better absorbed into the blood stream. With a coated colon--many nutrients never get absorbed.
The benefits of silica are many. In today's grains, there is actually a shortage of silica. Years ago, the silica found in our foodstuffs was adequate, but with today's hybrids and depleted soils, only about 1/3 of the silica needed is supplied in our food. DE is a simple and inexpensive way to get the silica your body needs. The intake of Silica through DE can help you in many ways:*
Help Lower High Cholesterol! - Most are reporting 40-60 points lower after only 2 weeks on DE.
bones become brittle and weak. Taking only a calcium supplement can not 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. For osteoporosis, silica can stop the pain and even restore the bodies’ self repair process. 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. Even when calcium is insufficient, the body can turn silica into calcium that the bones need.
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, the collagen will make us look younger. Silica helps with skin problems and injuries including itching, rashes, abscesses, boils, acne, calluses, warts, eczemas, burns, frostbite, benign skin sores, insect bites and bed sores. If you regularly follow a silica regimen, your skin will keep its young look.
healthy bones, which contain 100 micrograms per gram. Silica is a major component of hair. Using a good silica supplement (such as DE) 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.
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.
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. More Benefits! * Silica helps lower bad cholesterol and raises good. Silica helps fades age spots. Silica stimulates metabolism for higher energy levels. DE has a negative charge and bacteria have a positive charge. It is believed that it sweeps bacteria out of the body by trapping it in its honeycomb shaped skeletal form. Lungs: Silica supplementation helps repair and maintain vital lung tissues and protects them from pollution. By maintaining or restoring the elasticity of lung tissues, 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. Menopause: Silica supplementation keeps menopause free of stress and helps to prevent many unwanted side-effects. Cancer can not survive in cells that have the correct levels of Silica. Silica works with other antioxidants to help 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. 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 help normalize circulation and regulate high blood pressure (hypertension). Silica can help 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 Alzheimers disease by preventing the body from absorbing aluminum and may flush out aluminum from the tissues. Silica can stimulate the immune system. Dosage: Take 1-2 tablespoons per day mixed in some kind of liquid or food. There is no unpleasant taste. Since it will not dissolve, stirring several times while drinking will prevent settling. Some have experienced higher energy levels, so it is probably better not to take it right before sleeping. No worry about getting too much, any excess silica not needed by the body is automatically eliminated through the blood stream, kidneys and intestines.
Our best friends come in all shapes and sizes. Protect them with Diatomaceous Earth. When lightly rubbed into their coats or dusted on their premises, it is very effective against fleas, ticks, lice, and other pests on pet dogs, cats, and birds. It can also be used as an organic wormer and will kill any worms or parasites the pets may have. When using as a de-wormer, mix the Diatomaceous Earth into their food as follows:
Kittens - 1/4 teaspoon Dogs 100 lbs + - 1-2 tablespoons Dogs 50 - 100lbs - 1 tablespoon Dogs Under 50 lbs - 1 teaspoon Mini dogs - 1/2 teaspoon reduce odors, dry the area, and prevent pest breeding. Deodorizing and absorption are natural functions of DE, so add to kitty litter to absorb odors and keep the litter box drier. Do not let them breath the dust particles from DE. Wormer: Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is also used internally to remove parasites and worms from your pets, without the use of harmful chemicals. Feed large dogs 1 teaspoon, cats and small dogs 0.5 teaspoon per day. It has been suggested that infected pets should be feed for 90 straight days, and then continue feeding every 3rd day. People have told us it helped their dogs with arthritis and joint problems. Odors: Apply to moist kennel areas to reduce odors, dry the area, and prevent pest breeding. Helps deodorize and absorption are natural functions of DE, so add to kitty litter to absorb odors and keep the litter box drier. Some commercial cat litter companies put DE in their cat litter to help with odors.
Horses, Cows, Pigs, Sheep, Goats, Rabbits, Chickens and others will benefit from the use of DE. It is completely safe and nontoxic. Some of the benefits that have been observed:* Control of fleas and ticks Stimulates basic metabolism Converts feed better Reduces the desire to lick soil Scouring or diarrhea: when fed it seems to act as a material that draws both virus and bacteria out of the body and solidifies the stool Reduces odor and moisture in barns and stalls Better coat and hoof condition Keeps fly larvae from developing in manure, noticeably reducing the fly population Reduces annual vet bills--Decreased Mortality In Cattle: Decreased Mastitis Dairy Cattle: Increased milk production Kills parasites without chemicals Better egg production, stronger eggs, and reduces overall animal stress Added to livestock waters, will prevent algae from growing Suggested Feeding and Application for Animal Rates: Beef Cattle - 1% of total weight of dry ration 5% in grain or 1oz. per day Dairy Cattle - 1% of total weight of dry ration or 1 oz. per day Calves - 4 grams in morning milk per calf or 2 oz. per day in feed Chickens - 5% in feed, use at full strength in dusting boxes Hogs - 2% of total feed ration, dust or spray on bedding and animals Horses - 5 ounces (1 cup) in daily feed ration Sheep - 1% in ground grains 1 part Diatomaceous Earth to 2 parts T-M salt Goats - 1% in grain, 1/2 oz per day, up to 50% in T-M salt For large animals, DE may also be offered "free Choice" as long as dispenser is protected from the wind. Your livestock will also get the benefit of over 14 trace minerals that make up Diatomaceous Earth. NEVER feed any other type of DIATOMACEOUS EARTH to any animal, other than the Food Grade fresh water DIATOMACEOUS EARTH by Perma-Guard. Vegetables and Grain storage. For organic use. That white powder wash you see on vegetables and fruits, in the organic food sections in grocery stores, is most likely Diatomaceous Earth. You may be eating it and you don't know it. Diatomaceous Earth is used in grains, rice, oats, beans and other grains for protection from insects. An organic all natural way to ward off insects. Stored Grains just add 7-10 lbs. of DE to each ton of grain as it is conveyed into the storage. When added to grain, it not only makes it flow better, DE kills the bugs that are present and protects the grain from further invasions. Bugs can not become immune because they are killed by physical action, not chemical. Fossil shell flour has a very hard surface and when an insect brushes against it, it scratches the waxy exterior of the insect, causing the insect to dehydrate. Because Diatomaceous Earth is pure natural and organic, with no harmful insecticides or pesticides, it can not harm the soil, earthworms, or any animals that eat the insects that come in contact with DE. Outdoors: Diatomaceous Earth 6 lb. bag (treats 2,500 sq. ft.) Gets rid of ants, ticks, fleas, aphids, silverfish, cockroaches, bed bugs, carpet beetles, slugs, snails, tomato hornworm, house flies, fruit flies, red spider mites, and earwigs. Use outdoors in the garden, on the grass, and around the foundation of home. DE can be also be used in and around the home, yard, animal housing, etc. Sprinkle a 2 inch wide border around the foundation of your house, around windows, door entrance, to prevent insects from entering. Diatomaceous Earth 6 lb. bag (treats 2,500 sq. ft.) Inside Home: Sprinkle Diatomaceous Earth inside on pantry shelves, under sinks, closets, on rugs, and in corners and crevices.
Diatomaceous Earth is a natural, organic insect killer. Diatomaceous Earth kills by physical action and not by chemical so there is NO harm to pets or humans. The tiny hard and sharp diatoms scratch off the insects waxy coating, causing it to dehydrate. Use Diatomaceous Earth for control of roaches, silverfish, ants, fire ants, bedbugs, lice, mites, spiders, earwigs, flies, fleas, box elder bugs, crabs(std), Pubic and hair Lice, scorpions, crickets, and many other insects. Diatomaceous Earth can be used in and around the home, yard, animal housing, etc. Sprinkle a 2 inch wide border around the foundation of your house to prevent insects from entering. I had problems with ants in the house. Tried different ant traps, poisons, boric acid, insecticide sprays. Nothing worked until I used DE. There gone and the wonderful benefits is I now do not have to worry about harmful pesticides or insecticides around my children. The same thing happened with spiders. I had an infestation on huge spiders outside near the house. Using DE, spiders are gone. No one wants to risk a black widow or recluse spider bite. Put under your house, in attic, and storage sheds for termites or other pest. Sprinkle in wood chips, mulch, and in dark damp areas for prevention of termites. Save on commercial services. I think DE is wonderful and use it in everything and recommend to all my friends. Some people put DE in the walls around insulation when building homes to prevent and to protect from unwanted pest.
All over the United States we are seeing an outbreak of bedbugs. DE will not only kill the bedbugs you have, but will do it safely without chemicals. Remember-bed bugs cannot fly, so make sure bed is away from the wall and there is no bedding touching the floor. Surround each of the 4 legs of the bed with DE. This will kill them as they try to get on the bed the only way possible. Dust some DE on the mattress and bedding, especially in the creases. Dust DE in the carpets and in corners of room. Remove electrical outlet covers and puff some DE inside the walls. Keep this routine up for several days until no more bed bugs.
For control of aphids, white fly, beetles, loopers, mites, snails, slugs, leaf hoppers, and others, use Diatomaceous Earth inside your home, greenhouse or outdoors on fruits, vegetables, flowers, grains and grass, up to and including day of harvest. For dry application of Diatomaceous Earth use a duster and cover entire plant, apply to both top and bottom of leaf. For young plants, as little as two pounds per acre may be adequate. For larger plants, five lbs. per acre is probably sufficient. Diatomaceous Earth will need reapplication after a rain. Applies best when there is dew or after a light rain. It is a long lasting, effective powder. The insects can not build up resistance. DE can be sprayed or whitewashed by mixing 1 cup DE with 1/2 Gallon of water. Stir frequently and spray/paint trees, yards, and fences. Diatomaceous Earth will not harm earthworms or beneficial soil microorganisms. Wear a dust mask when applying large amounts. Metal Cleaner: Make a paste with DE and water to make a metal polish. DE also makes a very inexpensive soft scrub for the shower, sink and faucets. Face Mask and Cleanser: Mix DE and water together until you have made a paste. Apply to the face with circular scrubbing motion until face is fully covered. Leave on face for approx. 2 min. and then wash off with warm water. Your face will be fully exfoliated and toned for pennies!!! Mix DE with your favorite cleanser and you will have cleaner, smoother skin. Teeth Cleaner: Sprinkle a small amount on your favorite brand of toothpaste and brush as you normally would. You will notice that your teeth look and feel "Just went to the Dentist" Clean. These are just a few suggestions or observations people tell us how they use DE.* NEVER feed any other type of DIATOMACEOUS EARTH to any animal, other than the Food Grade Fresh Water (FDA Codex Food Grade Pure Fossil Shell Flour) DIATOMACEOUS EARTH. This is the natural pure organic DE. Never use swimming pool Diatomaceous Earth for animal or human use as the chemical make up is totally different. There are many different grades and levels of Diatomaceous Earth with many different uses.
