Just a heads up, it doesn't cut or scratch inside your body, it also doesn't cut the escoskeletons of insects, it measly drys them out due to the silica in it, so it splits and they die. ❤

      @@kathytaylor2008 Im older, & even without allergic rashes, I have very dry skin. Dry skin can cause terrible itching by itself. I always use cocoabutter soap (Black Soap at Walmart...in the products for black skin & hair) to bathe, & also apply cocoabutter cream (Nivea) all over after every bath. I use one of those long back scrubber things with handles on each end, & I apply the cream along the length of the scrubber, & apply the cream that way to my back. That has taken care of the dry skin itch for me.
      The DE I used for the allergic rash didn't seem to add to my dry skin condition at all, & I left it on my skin until my next bath.
      My dermatologist told me once (I have alot of skin allergies) that if you experience any discomfort after applying anything on a rash or broken area of skin, it's not the right treatment. (The DE felt very soothing on my skin & rash. I only used a thin, watery application.)

    I have been using it for 3-4 years. My routine is: before ingesting anything first thing in the morning i have 1 small tea spoon in half pint of water, mixed thoroughly, slowly drink whilst sitting down to ensure slow ingestion (ensuring not to inhale anything), then drink another half pint of water to rinse through- 7-10 days once a month - effectively as a detox (within 48 hours my poop is black - clensing walls of intenstines).

      Yes, it can be awful. My son had a job where his crew traveled to do jobs. At first, they stayed in motels. The second time he stated in a motel, he unwittingly brought home her bugs. I have learned so much about what to do to minimize them, but for 3 years could not figure out how to completely get rid of them. I tried all sorts of expensive, natural remedies to spray on furniture and beds....but that only deterred them temporarily.
      Because alcohol causes terrible, painful, unsightly rashes on my hands, I began making a homemade hand sanitizer that is a vinegar tincture with eucalyptus herb and chopped orange peel. I soon found that it repels mosquitos like nothing I've seen. I tried it on my JRT & Doxy-Russell dogs, and fleas hate it too. I began spraying it on the beds, every layer, beginning with the bare mattresses & bowstring, and the bedbugs HATE it too! WAHOO! I have seen only one bug, in the past two years. Success!

    Just came across your video. Nice! I used to sell D.E. years ago and D.E. products such as Diatech II with PBO8 and Pyrethrins. We had it reground to 2 micron particle size. Great for snails and slugs. The main reason for regrinding it was so it could be used in mechanical dusters and liquid spray equipment (agitated). We even trialed it on cotton crops near Uvalde, Texas for eliminating cotton boll weevil. Unfortunately the government didn't like that as they mandate that only marathon (an organophosphate) be used. Their in bed with the manufacturers. Cronyism at work. All research was seized and destroyed. It worked though
    I was there. Wish I knew the process for regrinding it. A friend of mine, John Brannon owned the company that did it but he's not here anymore. Any questions feel free to ask. I have a background in both chemical and organic fertilizer, potting mixes, soil remediation and plant propagation.

    Heidi, I hope that people take to heart your warning that too much of anything, even healthy foods, can have a detrimental impact on our health. I was eating a nutrient dense vegan diet, consuming large amounts of spinach, turmeric, ginger, cacao powder and other foods that I was not aware are high in oxalic acid. Over consuming oxalates can cause kidney stones and I developed and passed one. It was more painful than anything I experienced after a serious bicycle accident that required multiple titanium implants for all my broken and crushed bones.
    So, anyone reading this, please know that foods that we consider healthy when consumed in high quantities are as bad for your health as drinking in excess or taking too many meds.

      I agree, regarding the oxalic acid. I was eating spinach like crazy a few years ago, and making smoothies with it. I developed back problems which I attributed to carrying heavy grocery bags. My chiropractor asked me about my diet and did muscle testing. I found out that my excessive spinach eating as well as almonds, trigger back pain for me. I passed a kidney stone as well. Castor oil packs helped and drinking lemon water or vinegar water.

    We use it for our chickens in their dust bath tub, but we originally bought it for fleas. We haven’t had a flea problem in years now. We just didn’t want to spray pesticides on our yard. Now that we garden, we do use it around our small plants to keep cut worms from eating them. A tip that works great for fleas is to place several nightlights in plugs close to the floor. Place tins with water and a drop or 2 of dish soap under the lights. At night, the fleas jump towards the lights and fall into the pans and drown. Sounds odd, but works great. We also occasionally put DE in the goats feed. Many Blessings!

    In my experience I've not had any harmful signs or harmful side-effects.

I also do use it in my garden, but I put it on the ground around the veggies that get eaten by cabbage moths, grasshoppers, etc. I avoid sprinkling it near any of the flowering plants that the pollinators visit. If it's dampened, on the ground - it seems safe enough to use in the garden; i.e., all my pollinators are still going in full force. Blessings to you.

    Awesome video!
    Here’s my story regarding DE.
    I’ve taken DE on/off for 6+ years. I started it with a friend as we thought why not just in case we had any intestinal parasites. I never saw any signs of parasites - HOWEVER, a very welcome surprise happened within days of me starting the DE: all the excruciating herniated disk pain I had been experiencing for over a year disappeared!
    I started with a small daily amount of 1 tsp in a glass of water/broth/tea and slowly worked my way up to 1 TBSP over approx. 3 weeks. I used to take it daily, but now only take it if/when any joint pains resurface. My tummy did have quite a bit of grumbling (clearing me out) in the beginning.
    I’ve been told for best absorption, take it in liquid on an empty stomach (when the stomach is most acidic) and if you need help in getting your gut more acidic, add some apple cider vinegar to the water. My approach is to take it 1 hr before or 2 hrs after any meds/food.
    Be sure to increase your daily water intake when taking DE.
    I also found the DE had a tendency to “energize” me so I only take it in the AM so it doesn’t affect my sleep.
    I’m very happy with its effect on me and it has helped several other family members/friends, as well, with skin and joint issues.
    I usually buy a 2lb bag (or the 5lb bag if I’m sharing with others). I keep some DE on my kitchen counter in a large airtight glass jar and store the rest in a large airtight plastic storage container in my pantry.
    😄I don’t think the DE can go “bad”.

    Thank you so very much for your channel, & especially this post! I live in the South, where termites are prevalent. I've funneled some DE into the walls from the top, in the attic. Making a barrier around your foundation also deters subterranean termites. Did all this after having to tent Dad's house for active termites after he bought it in 09. Basic tenting uses chemical gas (ugh!) that kills the current bugs, but leaves no residual to protect the place. This has worked well for 13years now.

    Good video!! Ive used DE for years. On myself and around the farm. It sure strengthened my skin, nails and hair. Critters get it inside and out and it helps with thin egg shells from the chickens.
    If you get the odd smelling urine again, dissolve half teaspoon of good salt in water and drink it. Half hour or so itll be gone.

      Once a week for dogs too could be better, consider that if that is “ cleaning” the body from inside out, that might be taking too much from the dog or even living them without minerals and vitamins by interfering with digestion and assimilation. Too much cleaning could be leaving dog without some of its digestive system lining and that could become a serious health problem. I think I ‘ve read about that before and I checked to see if I could find the info but I can not found it, very probably I filed it under another name or word.

A squeaky clean dietary lifestyle is a great start (avoidance of processed enriched with synthetic vitamins, refined sugars, glutens, grains, etc as well as cutting dairy) That means clean protein and deep leafy green veg diets. Dirty Genes book and looking up the dirt super seven on the net (for symptom clusters) If it is bad, ALL will resonate. Dirty genes born broken will contaminate your working ones because they are like a small but critical group of lakes all working together. If one is contaminated, eventually all will be, until the issue is addressed. DAO (histamine response/fatigue/wet allergy response/swelling with bug bites/MCAS etc) and MTHFR (methylation/responsible for over 300 processes in body/critical for healthy CNS, digestion, immune system, fertility, and metabolism) are two common ones. DAO symptoms are histamine resistance driven. An oral DAO enzyme relieves the problem by breaking down excess histamine. Anti-histamine only binds them for awhile. MTHFR compromises in body ability to assimilate synthetic B12 and Folate found in enriched processed foods or pharma prescriptions. Methylated food sourced or better (forms) are a MUST. Long term deprivation of real B vitamins can and does drive suffocation on a cellular respiration level...as well as weird anemias from Ferritin assimilation problems, NOT low iron stores. (for that read Mangan's Dumping Iron/another killer, esp of men) Blood test to screen for low grade inflammation problems driven by MTHFR is Homeocysteine. All of this falls under alternative or functional medicine. Regular MD medicine only ascribes to pharmaceutical suppression therapy. Trying to condense a 7 year journey of knowledge.

You want to take it on an empty stomach so it can do it’s work, and make sure to stay hydrated.

    I've used it for round worm in my cat. According to a vet here on YT you give 1/2 teaspoon per 10lbs of body weight (average cat) 2x a day for 7 days, then 7 days off and again 7 days on to kill any newly hatched ones. Does not work for tape worm. For that he recommended 1 teaspoon finely ground pumpkin seeds 2x a day for about 2-3 weeks. I mix both of them with a moist cat treat and my cat rips it out of my hand. That alone is worth changing from pharma poison. The pumpkin seed, incidentally, does not work for round worm. She was sick with one when she was 2/3 the way through the tapeworm treatment, so I just mixed in the DE for the rest of her course and carry on with just the DE after the tapeworm treatment is over.
    Also used in bulk storing grains, e.g. 5galon buckets. Sprinkle some in before sealing. If you freeze treat and or use vacuum sealed Mylar bags, you probably won't need it.

    I use equal parts bentonite and de, add water to make a soft paste, add a couple pinches of stevia and use that for my base toothpaste. My Husband likes peppermint, I like cinnamon, the kiddo gets orange or strawberry. No sting, not harsh at all. I imagine it helps mineralize teeth too.

    Good morning Rain Country. Thanks for sharing the benefits and uses of Diatomeceous earth and Bentonite clay, two of the many types of soil - our most abundant and precious resource.

    You wouldn't do a parasite cleanse, year round, so you shouldn't use DE year round. The rule of thumb for a thorough parasite cleanse is 4x a year. Many people do this at the change of each season, to remind them to do it. I like to take DE 3-4x a week, for a month on, then a month off. My body always likes lower doses of most things, anyway.
    As with anything that has a detox effect, you may experience detox symptoms while useing ĐE. There are things you can do to help to alleviate those. Make sure, well before beginning any sort of detox/antiparasitic protocol, that your bowels are clear, not impacted. Ear plenty of bulk (raw vegetables) daily, and if needed, swallow small handfuls of flax seeds with water, or take Dr. Christopher's lower bowel formula with your evening meal. As soon as you are having a good, full, loose-but-not-warery bowel movement with every meal, your "bottom drain" is open enough for some detox material (and dead critters) to be flushed out, instead of being trapped inside a toxic, impacted bowel, which would make you feel much worse.
    You can also make potassium broth to drink, to help alleviate detox symptoms. Always drink plenty of water while detoxing.

      It's not just a parasitic cleanse. Many other benefits so your comparison does not fit.

      Hi. I got sick from what I think was from DE. I used it to brush my teeth but didn't rinse. So I swallowed it I guess. I felt horrible. This was over a period of several days. If I use DE again, can I take activated charcoal to sop up toxins so I won't get sick?
      I never get constipated

    I never realized all the uses for diatomaceous earth. We use it mainly for ants. We have lots of tiny ant colonies in our yard and in warm weather they come in the house. After trying different ant traps and killers I got out diatomaceous earth and we put some in a foil tray or jar lid and put bait in the center of the tray or lid. It must work because a few days after putting the diatomaceous earth out the ant count in our house started dropping to almost zero. I was going to put a trail of diatomaceous earth clear around the house but the traps worked. Phil

    Again, you've got good timing. I just bought some diatomaceous earth about a week ago. I have used it in the past but not for a long time and I hadn't even opened the new bag yet so I'm anxious to watch the video and see what you have to say about its uses compared to what I knew in the past.
