Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth 10 lb. by Natures Wisdom (Two 5 lb. bags in a box)

Diatomaceous earth offers an alternative method for detoxing your body, one that is cheap, simple, and effective. It doesn't require fasting or foul-tasting health foods, and many people have used it with great success. DE's naturally absorbent and abrasive nature makes it an ideal internal cleaner. As it passes through your system, it absorbs harmful toxins, and it does this without requiring you to change your diet or lifestyle.How Do I Know I Need to Detox?Every day, we are exposed to harmful toxins like car exhaust, heavy metals, food additives, and cleaning chemicals. For the most part, our bodies are really good at cleaning out pollutants like these on their own, but sometimes they need a little extra help, and that's where detoxing comes in. If you chronically suffer from any of the symptoms listed below, it's probably time to detox your body:Food CravingsInflammationRestless SleepingPoor FocusFatigueSkin Rashes or OutbreaksConstipation, Diarrhea, Bloating, Gas, or Other Indigestion ProblemsMood SwingsHeadachesWeight GainBody Odor or Bad BreathAllergiesAches and PainsHow Do I Detox with DE?Detoxing with DE is easy. Simply follow these steps:Step 1:Take about one teaspoon of food grade diatomaceous earth with water once a day. Take it on an empty stomach at least one hour before or two hours after eating. DE is nearly tasteless, but if you don't like its mildly gritty texture, try taking it in juice, yogurt, or a smoothie.Step 2:Drink an additional cup of water after each dose of DE.Step 3:Over the next few weeks, slowly raise your DE dosage from one teaspoon to two teaspoons, taking one in the morning and one at night. We recommend taking up to a tablespoon per day.Step 4:Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout each day to keep your system hydrated.Step 5:In her book, All the Green Things You Can Do with Diatomaceous Earth, Tui Rose suggests taking DE ten days on and ten days off for ninety days, though many people have found different strategies that work for them. Some take it daily for a few weeks, others for years at a time. Experiment and see what works for you.How Can I Boost My Detoxing Power?While DE alone is a powerful cleanser, there are things you can add to your detox to increase your body's ability to clean itself out.Cut back on greasy foods, refined carbs, and refined sugars. These foods add the kind of junk to your system that you are trying to clean out with your detox. Reducing these foods in your diet will make your detox more effective and will help the benefits of your detox last longer.Get some exercise. Along with promoting overall health, working out helps your body eliminate toxins through sweat. Even going for regular walks can have great benefits.Breathe deeply. Good breathing habits provide increased oxygen to the bloodstream while helping to expel toxins. Mindfulness meditation is a great way to practice good breathing.How Do I Know My Detox Is Working?Initially, you may feel some side effects, such as headaches and flu-like symptoms. This is caused by the toxins leaving your body and is not cause for alarm. If these symptoms persist, however, lower your DE intake. This will slow the release of toxins and reduce the side effects.As you continue your detox over the next few weeks, whatever symptoms you have–the ones that prompted you to detox in the first place–should lesson or disappear altogether. Secondly, you should feel more energy and have better general health. After detoxing, many people feel like they have a new lease on life.A Cautionary NoteFood grade diatomaceous earth is nontoxic and generally considered safe for consumption, but make sure you listen to your body. As mentioned above, side effects generally mean the detox is working–nothing to worry about. If your side effects persist, reduce your DE dosage to something your body is better able to manage.If after a few weeks the detoxing doesn't lesson your symptoms, it may mean that your condition is serious enough that you should consider going to see your doctor.Also bear in mind that while detoxing with DE can promote good health and reduce negative symptoms, it has not been proven to cure any diseases. Continue to consult with your doctor regarding any existing health conditions and follow his or her recommendations. DE also is known to kill bedbugs as well by dehydrating them.I strongly recommend the purchasing of this product and I give it 5 stars all the way!!!!****** If you enjoyed my review please vote this review as helpful and feel free to ask me any additional questions and I'll answer them to the best of my abilities.

I don't believe there's a single product out there that can provide as wide a range of health benefits as this one can. I think everyone especially once you hit forty years of age should take this. Here's a list of just some of the ways it can benefit you: clean out the digestive system, get rid of tapeworms and other parasites, improved bowel movements, strengthen entire bone structure and teeth, make skin more youthful and supple, fade age spots, make fingernails hard and shiny, increase growth and strength of hair, reduce headaches, muscle cramps, high blood pressure, cholesterol, improve energy and alertness, mental clarity, sleep, remove toxins, heavy metals, viruses, bad bacteria, reduce or eliminate arthritis, and more. For me i know it cleaned out my digestive system, eliminated mild arthritis, reduced muscle cramps, made my fingernails hard and shiny, increased my hair growth, made my skin smoother and youthful, my entire skeletal structure feels reinforced, and just gave me an overall sense of well being that's hard to describe. It's like the clock has been turned back fifteen years. I forgot to mention i also lost ten pounds without even trying so for those of you who take diet pills i strongly suggest you try this first. This also goes for people who take medication for high blood pressure and cholesterol. I hear stories of the nasty side effects of those drugs. The only side effects of taking food grade diatomaceous earth seem to be other health benefits. I get funny looks and disbelief from people when i tell them about this stuff and believe me i totally understand. If it were the other way around i would look at them the exact same way. My main goal is to get you to at least try it out and realize the many health benefits so that you can in turn tell your family and friends about it. Just be prepared for the funny looks and disbelief. It's imperative to start out slow by using no more than one teaspoon mixed with about eight to twelve ounces of water or in a smoothie first thing in the morning. Drink another cup of water right away and stay hydrated throughout the day. Increase to one tablespoon after one week. You may go through a healing crises and different phases of healing. I experienced on day one nothing. Starting on day two through seven starting to clean my digestive system out. Experienced a mild headache and mild flu like symptom after one week that lasted for about twelve hours. Noticed skin improvement after day ten while washing my hands i thought someone put oil in the soap. After two weeks my skeletal structure felt reinforced which also resulted in better balance. My feet feel cemented to the ground , i feel it'd take a truck to knock me over. I also have a cat that used to have intestinal worms until i started giving him this stuff. Take a quart size container and fill it 3/4 full with dry cat food and add about one tablespoon of de and shake it up. The food should end up having a nice even thin coating of de. The worms disappeared in less than a week and his coat is now much thicker and healthier looking. Again, i urge you to try this out not only for you but also your friends and family.

Along with this, I bought a duster (I would consider a duster as a necessity), so I was able to put a fine dusting everywhere. And I mean EVERY WHERE. It was messy. There was a coating on everything.I dusted the house with DE, waited a few day and vacuumed. Immediately after vacuuming, I re-applied more DE. I have been using Frontline PLus and I felt that it could just not keep up with the new fleas, but I am not thrilled with Frontline either. (thats another story). Regardless, the the cat is still getting fleas. I have continued to vacuum and re-apply the DE. With each vacuuming, I find more fleas in the vacuum.I guess I believed that with a good covering of DE that the cycle would be broken over a few weeks. I thought that with a good dusting of DE that any new fleas would certainly hop through it and would be dying off after contact even if it took several days. It has been almost 2 months and I am still vacuuming up fleas as well as a good bit of DE. With my application, there is no way that a flea cant be coming in contact with the DE.There has been a noticeable reduction in fleas since the first application and vacuuming, but I am still finding fleas in the vacuum from carpet that has a solid month+ long dusting of DE. The reduction could be more from vacuuming, but will give the DE some benefit of the doubt.I have taken this seriously, and was very hopeful that DE would be a great alternative to carpet sprays and flea bombs, but am disappointed. It is very messy and results are questionable.Some have said that if DE gets on a flea, it will die fairly quickly. I dumped my Vacuum contents into a tall bucket. It had fleas and DE. For good measure, I puffed some more DE into the bucket. Fleas lived for 2-3 more days in the bucket. Not sure how long they would have lived with no DE.Bottom line.Does DE help control fleas? I think it does. But, know that it is messy and a long process at best. I am not giving up, but I believe that the flea control postings that I have read are overblown. Either that, Or I have superfleas.

Last August, we discovered we had bed bugs. My SO helped a buddy move a sofa someone gave him into his apartment, 2 days later he woke up with what he thought was hives, I'm suspicious but I'm the OCD clean freak of the family...no way. Then his buddy calls a couple of days later...remember that sofa you helped me move? He laughs and tells him the exterminator just left his house. I ran upstairs and stripped the bed, and found two right away and proceeded to meltdown. We had just saved up for our first vacation ever, and the mattress and box spring set we had just bought 2 months prior. Do we call the exterminator and cancel our vacation, or do I try to battle this myself? I sat down and started reading. Two hours later I declared war.Everything washable, pillows, bedding, clothing in the closet, in the dressers, and drapes got thrown in the washer on HOT, and then the dryer on HOT, than was put into black trash bags and sealed in Rubbermaid containers in another room.I bought covers for the mattress, box spring, and pillows. The bed was taken apart and the frame was steamed and then wiped down with tea tree oil diluted with water, so were the dressers (removing every drawer and steaming behind them), I steamed and wiped the baseboards, plugged the outlets, and nuked the entire room and everything in it with DE, shut the door, sealed it with duct tape and went on vacation for a week.When I came home, a bit less frantic, I took an old vacuum (bagged is better) destined for the curb and vacuumed up the mess, left the clothing and drapes out, and just put back the bedding. I checked the bedding every day, washing everything in HOT once a week. I found one hitchhiker that must have hidden on the old wooden headboard a week or two later, tossed out the headboard and repeated the nuclear attack, sealing off the room for another week.Fast forward, I haven't seen anything in that room since, and I do mean anything. I don't even think I've seen a stray ant.Tips:1. Buy the pest pistol to spread this, or else it's a PITA to distribute evenly.2. Wear a mask, you will need it. Imagine what it would be like if you had a 5lb bag of powdered sugar explode in your kitchen. It may be food grade, but you still don't want to be inhaling it, trust me.3. A bagged vacuum worked the best for clean up all the dust (for me), without losing suction, you WILL most likely clog every filter in a bagless because this stuff is fine and can cake, so don't use your new high priced bagless unless you really don't care.4. Think heat and steam, they will help you win the war.

Nature's wisdom De-earth is one one of those products you can trust and not worry about poor processing & handling. 4th generation using this type of product & everyone in family trust and uses Nature's wisdom.We primarly use it on our homestead farming. In the garden & green house to keep insects root & grub worms from attacking plants & vegi's. No chemicals or products you need to worry about washing off before eating. Our kids snack from the garden when working or playing outside & there is nothing I need to woory about. Seeds are covered with D-E then sifted leaving seeds dusted with d-e. D-E can be dusted in & around plant. Dusting tops of plants keeps insects off them.Live stock - in trough it minimize algae growth. Your pet or animals exposed to getting worms or perisits mix 1/8 - 1/4 tsp in their food, dampin so it sticks and is not inhaled by animal. We use this for for our cattle (dairy & beef), horses, sheep, goats, donkey, dogs, turkeys and chickens. Dusting poultry, coops, nesting boxes & animals prevents fleas, ticks, & mites. We use often in large amounts with grain placed in an old cement mixer adding D-E to thoroughly mixed. This gives live stock a continues amount keeping parisites from starting a cycle or get started in critters. Also prevents grain from clumpping and keeps insects out of feed.My grandparents used it personly to help digestion system & gave to my son when he was suffering from stomach pain digestion problems that hospital & doctors couldn't figure out. Tiny amount once a day for a week rid of the entire problem, 3 years later & never had any more problems.Warning - first time use start off very small amount. It cleans out digestion system and slowly kills parasites. Expect lots of pooping usually first 48 hours. Amount used will affect cleanout increase or decrease amount as needed.We rescued some neighbors goats so infected with worms and more that they were enemic near death and farmer had tried multiple dewormers with no affect. A week doseage of D-E, red cell & complex B vitamins and the critters have recovered and doing well being loved by our eight kids.
