First discovered in about 1836 diatomaceous earth, or DE, as I’m going to refer to it from now on, is extremely hard microscopic fossilized diatoms (marine and fresh water skeletal organisms made of silica) mined from our lakes, oceans, streams and rivers and then ground into a fine powder.

Check out these (magnified) symmetrical cylinder shaped shells!

Food grade DE has many medicinal properties, is rather tasteless and is easily ingested by mixing in water, juice or food. The negative charge of the diatoms attracts and absorbs the unwanted foreigners inside our bodies. These freeloaders are then eliminated via our sweat, skin, urine, feces and even through expectoration of the lungs.

  • Death and elimination of parasites by dehydrating them as the DE shreds them from the inside-out and the outside-in, pending on their size.
  • Cleanse the colon of mucus, fungi, molds, E-coli, protozoa, and viruses within just a few months of regular use, warding off polyps, cancers and ulcers.
  •  Detoxify heavy metals from your body, such as: mercury, cadmium and lead.
  • Remove environmental toxins & radiation and possibly alleviate the effects of GMOs.
  • Get rid of endotoxins, pesticides and prescription drug residues.
  • It has antibacterial, anti-fungal and antiviral properties. Need I say more J
  • Increase your energy and decrease the hours of rest you will need and go about your day, rested.
  • Better absorption of food and nutrients into the blood stream because your now clean colon is better able to do its job.
  • Silica is the element these cylinder shells are made from. Silica supports the body with mineral absorption and immune function. Here’s a list of (some) benefits from regular administration of silica:
  • Regular bowel movements are to be expected after consistent use of DE!
  1. Maintains the collagen and elasticity underneath the skin.
  2. Repairs sore joints and ligaments.
  3. Acne, age spots and psoriasis clear up.
  4. Lessens menopausal symptoms.
  5. Hair and nails become stronger and grow faster.
  6. Healthier teeth and gums.
