Diatomaceous
Earth
 Diatomaceous
Earth is 84% Silicon Dioxide (Silica)
There
is
no
life
without
Silica !!
Silica plays an
important role in many
body functions and has a direct relationship to mineral absorption.
Diatomaceous
earth (DE) is the remains of microscopic one-celled plants
(phytoplankton) called diatoms that lived in the oceans and lakes that
once
covered the western part of the US and other parts of the world. These
deposits
are mined from underwater beds or from ancient dried lake bottoms
thousands of
years old. This means, diatomaceous earth has an unlimited shelf life
provided
you keep it dry.

Diatomaceous
Earth
Has
So
Many Uses!!!
Diatomaceous
Earth
(DE)
- Human Use
Some
of
the
benefits:
Lower
High
Blood
Pressure!
DE may take the High Blood Pressure down
from 25% to 35%.
Lower High
Cholesterol!
Just as DE
has been lowering blood pressure-it has also been lowering
cholesterol!!! For some people as much as 40-60 points after few
weeks of taking DE.
No
more Joint or Back pain!
Silica in DE 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.
For osteoporosis, DE can stop the pain and even restore the bodies
self repair process.
By improving the
elasticity of the joints, DE
helps rheumatism, joint pains.
Internal
Parasite Control!
DE destroys intestinal
parasites physically by injuring them.
The shell particles of the DE are sharp
enough to cut the parasites but are not harmful to humans and
animals.
Natural
Weight
Loss!
DE
taken in the morning helps curb appetite throughout the
day.
Hair Growth!
DE helps to prevent
baldness, stimulates healthier hair growth and assures beautiful shine,
luster and strength.
Nails
Growth!
With DE
supplementation, fragile nails become normal within a short period of
time. DE will beautify the appearance of your nails and improve
their hardness, making them shinier and less prone to breaking.
Teeth
and
Gums!
By hardening the enamel,
DE prevents cavities and preserves teeth. DE also prevents
bleeding gums, gum atrophy, and recession that causes the loosening of
teeth, which could ultimately lead to tooth loss.DE effectively
fights ulceration and the decay of bones, teeth and also lessens
inflammation.
More
Benefits:
- DE lowers bad cholesterol and raises good
- DE fades age spots
- DE stimulates metabolism for higher energy levels
- Diatomaceous earth has a negative charge and bacteria
has a positive charge. It is believed that diatomaceous earth sweeps
bacteria out of the body by trapping it in it's honeycomb shaped
skeletal form.
- DE 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. DE tones the
upper respiratory tract (nose, pharynx, larynx) and reduces swelling
because of its positive action on the lymphatic system.
- DE supplementation keeps menopause free of stress
and helps to prevent many unwanted side-effects of menopause
- DE works with other antioxidants to prevent
premature aging and to preserve youthfulness.
- DE 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. DE
can prevent or clear up diarrhea and its opposite, constipation.
- DE 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.
- DE proves effective with female discharge,
abscesses and ulcers in the genital area and cervix, as well as
mastitis (especially for breast feeding mothers).
- The intake of DE 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.
- DE has anti-inflammatory disinfecting, absorbing and
odor binding effects.
- DE can normalize circulation and regulate high
blood pressure (hypertension).
- DE can decrease vertigo, headache, tinnitus
(buzzing of the ears) and insomnia.
- DE can help diabetes by promoting synthesis of
elastase inhibitor by the pancreas.
- DE 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.
- DE can help prevent Tuberculosis.
- By improving the elasticity of the joints, DE
helps rheumatism.
- DE has inhibitory effects on coronary diseases.
- DE can help avoiding or alleviating Alzheimers
disease by preventing the body from absorbing aluminum and may flush
out aluminum from the tissues. DE can stimulate the immune system.
Dosage:
Daily silica
needs of humans are 20-30
mg. In Years past, our bodies would get enough silica from our diet.
Unfortunately, many of the foods we now eat have lost their nutritional
value due to soil nutrient depletion, food processing, and chemicals.
Take 1 or 2 heaping
tablespoons of Diatomaceous
Earth every day with grapefruit juice,
with water, soda pop, juice, or whatever liquid you enjoy.
Perma-Guard
Diatomaceous Earth is Food Grade and very pure. There is no unpleasant
taste. Since it will not dissolve, stirring several times while
drinking will prevent settling.
Due to experiencing higher
energy
levels, it is not recommended taking 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.

Pets and Animals
Pets:
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 de-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:
- Large Cats - 1 teaspoon
- 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
As pets get
older, they also get sore joints. With Diatomaceous Earth in their diet
they will feel better.
Apply to moist kennel areas to 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.

Organic pest control
Household
Pests:
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.
Diatomaceous
Earth will not harm
earthworms or beneficial soil microorganisms.
BEDBUGS
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. The "Pest
Pistol" works great for this. Keep this routine up for several days
until no more bed bugs.
Pubic Lice(Crabs) and Hair
Lice: Dust Diatomaceous Earth on all areas of the body
that are infested with the Lice (Crabs). Dust your bedding and
rooms you have been in with DE also.
Plant Pests:
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 of it.
Stored Grain:
Just add 7-10
lbs. of Diatomaceous Earth to each ton of grain as it is conveyed into
the storage. When added to grain, it not only makes it flow better,
Diatomaceous Earth 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.
