Diatomaceous Earth reviews PLEASE..

[frizzy]

I would rather drink the liquid benefits since I don't have parasites. When I took it before I was starting to wonder if I was making concrete in my bowels.

Thanks for sharing this info! ladysaraii

 

[Successfulmiss]

Thx for the update ladies! I don't want to be drinking dirt alone!

 

[HappilyLiberal]

I bumped this because I am going to start adding this to my after workout smoothies. I bought a ton of this stuff a couple years ago and now the canisters are just sitting there collecting dust.

That happened to me. Means either you're consuming too much or not drinking enough water. I used to use DE, but use it on the family puppy and in his food, to prevent worms and neutralize dog odor.

Remeber ladeis, you have to drinks LOOOOOOOOOOOOOTS of water with it and consume it in small quantities. DE will soak up water in your body and make you very constipated if you don't keep your fluid consumption in check.

Hi, just came across this thread on my way to BSL challenge. I thought i was alone in the DE dept., who knew!
I too bought a ton of this stuff not realizing I bought a ton of this stuff. I started drinking it for a bit, stopped and started again 2 months ago. It's a great colon cleanser. I take MSM 1000mg and bee pollen so I'm not sure of the hair benefits yet from the DE.

 

[JessieLeleB]

Does DE help with acne? I'd love to try something internal other that lots of water I been drink and still having minor break outs.

[flowinlocks]

It's here! I won't officially start till this weekend since I haven't taken it in over a year I'm not sure if it's going to give me energy or put me to sleep.

I'm still drinking it in my water at work.

I'm still drinking it in my water at work.

Any new results?

 

[curlicarib]

I still have is a few times a week. Daily is too much for me - my nails get brittle. But I like it because I feel like it keeps my digestive tract clean.

 

[frizzy]

Thanks for the invite flowinlocks ! Count me in. I'm gonna let it soak in a water bottle and drink it that way. I won't be taking it by the spoonful this time. and I'm gonna get good "colon sweep" in before I start.

Thanks for bumping up this thread flowinlocks. I had stopped taking mine - I don't even know why because it worked so well for my skin, weight control and bone health.

I can't say what it was doing about my hair because I never kept up with that - was already doing too many other things to measure it properly.

I have a much simpler regimen now so I will resume taking DE tomorrow and give a better review on hair after a few months. I will add DE as a vitamin to my vitamin regimen.

I will need to order some more in about 2 weeks as my skin and bones mean more to me at 45 years young then accomplishing waist length hair.

Amen to that!Aggie. Good to see you. I haven't over here in a long time.

 

[JFemme]

I purchased a bag last night due to this here thread...

Will incorporate into regimen next week...

Off to read up, refresh my memory....

 

[Aggie]

flowinlocks, I noticed you were MIA for a while there and it's good to have you back too. You were missed. I can't wait to give DE a month or 2 to kick in like it did for me before.

Hey @JFemme, which site did you buy yours from and what size did you get? I just got a 10lb bag from www.earthworkshealth.com. I don't want to run out so by the time it gets here, I will most likely be needing it.

I thought morethanalive was a little too expensive. Their 50lb bag was $100.00 and earthworkshealth's 50lb bag was $27.50 which is a huuuuuge difference.

 

[JFemme]

Aggie

I purchased the 1lb bag from StarWest Botanicals @ local health food store..

My plan is to use it three days out of the week, see how it affects me for a few weeks before investing in a larger bag...

 

[Aggie]

How long does this last before you have to use it all or throw it? Does it have an expiration date? I guess it would be better to buy smaller quantities. I am really considering buying this. Use for 30days straight then rotate every other month. I am still scared about over usage.

DE does not have an expiration date - afterall, it is already thousands of years old.

 

[SweetlyCurly]

Is there a DE challenge for 2014? I'm purchasing this week. This thread made me curious

If there is one, I think I'd join myself. I started taking mine again yesterday, January 26th, 2014 - this is a reminder for me.

 

[biancaelyse]

Reading this inspired me to buy a big box of DE tonight at my local feed store. Will start taking 1 tsp per day in the morning with my green tea. I want to start giving some to my dogs too!!!

 

[biancaelyse]

I purchased a 10 lb box of Food Grade DE at the local feed store for $14. I was very happy to find it on the ground and not have to pay shipping.

I mixed a tsp of it in my oatmeal and ate it. No taste or noticeable texture.

I will also mix a tsp of it in my green tea later today.

I am already drinking 100 oz daily of water and decaf green tea daily so I will be excited to see the results.

I want to start giving it to my dogs as well. I have an energetic 16 year old schnoodle that does well with supplements.

 

[rawsilk]

Careful - depending on your constitution, this stuff can really "jam you up!" (If you know what I mean.)

 

[Aggie]

^^^I'm currently taking 2 tbs a day - one in the morning and 1 in the evening. I am also drinking 2 tbs of coconut oil with each one, a couple of magnesium supplements and drinking lots of water and I'm doin a-okay in the constitutional area

 

[rawsilk]

LOL -- gotcha. See that's what I didn't do -- major mistake.

rawsilk I am vegan and after 2 days on this I've had no issues because the plant based diet plus the high fluid intake makes me extremely regular.

I slept well last night and that was a big benefit that I was hoping to see.

 

[rawsilk]

That is good. As long as people take the necessary precautions and don't just dive into (like I did), should be fine. I am pretty vegan/raw but have to be careful re what I take in terms of supplements. Just wanted to make sure that anyone reading thread and benefits of DE doesn't make the same mistake. (Seriously, I was jacked for a minute.)
