Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Hi,

I love DE. I got it for my garden and then had some friends recommend it to
be taken internally for internal bugs. Now I add it to my oatmeal on a
regular basis. I pasted below something I got off a web site about all the
health benefits. Enjoy!

Diatomaceous Earth - Human Use

http://www.earthworkshealth.com/human-use.php

Diatomaceous Earth is 89% Silicon Dioxide (Silica)

There is no life without Silica !!

In 1939, the Nobel Prize winner for chemistry, Professor Adolf Butenant,
proved that life can not exist without Silica. In the 2003 book "Water &
Salt" Dr. Barbara Hendel states: "Silica it 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.

Lets look at some of the benefits of Silica:*

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! Just as Diatomaceous Earth has been 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!

My joints feel so much better!! 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 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. 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!!

Here is some info on it:

Is Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth Safe?

You bet! This product is completely non-toxic and chemical free. Remember to
only buy food grade diatomaceous earth and steer clear of the DE used in
pool filters as it is processed DE and is toxic. Avoid diatomaceous earth
that has any kind of additive in it because they can sometimes be toxic as
well. Also because it is a very fine powder, inhaling too much of it can
irritate the lungs and cause coughing. Diatomaceous Earth also may cause
your skin to become dry if your skin is exposed to large amounts of it, but
the typical consumer will not have to worry too much about that as you will
rarely come in contact with enough to make a difference. It is recommended
that while working with large amounts you use a mask and gloves as a
precaution and use DE in well ventilated areas.

> Oh yes!! DE is great stuff! Just be sure to get the food grade and not the
swimming pool filter grade which is quite dangerous.

I don't like to appear stupid but just what is the difference between the
different types and what makes it dangerous. I have read this comment many
times but I don't know the difference. Thanks!
