Diatomaceous Earth reviews PLEASE..

[KinksAndInk]

I have to get some of this. Not just for the benefits to hair but I researched and read that it helps with tinnitus (ringing in the ears). I'd love this stuff just for that benefit alone. Tinnitus is a major pain in the behind. So I'll be back as soon as I get mine

 

[Platinum]

Taking one Tbsp every other day. I'm having more energy now. It's too soon to tell if DE is going to help increase my hair growth rate.

Is anyone still taking this? How's it going for you?

It irritates my tummy so I stopped.

I still have some left. I take it for a few weeks then stop. I believe it helped me get rid of a few parasites and I saw a boost in hair growth for a while.

I took this for a few months last year. It gave me a lot of mucus and the worst flu I have ever had. I hope never to go thru that in life again. No benefits.

Back in 2011, my family and I drove over an hour to a farm and bought a 50 lb bag. Most of it is stored in buckets, the rest at home is in old 1 kg MSM containers. We have only finished a quarter of it and given some to others.

DH has been more consistent in taking it than I, mainly to aid in digestion. I have taken it at least several times a year over the years, but recently decided to be more consistent to see if it can help ease the aging process.

Right now, I take a great heaping teaspoon (looks like over 2 teaspoons) in white grape juice an hour before food or supplements. Thanks to enzymes, I am regular, so I will be looking for other results.

I took this a couple of years back and just got back on it two months ago.

Effects so far: Clearer skin; reduction of PMS symptoms (the reason I got back on) - bloating, cramps etc.; more restful sleep.

I have a 50lb bag of this right now but haven't started a consistently regimen with it but I need to for my skin and nail health and strength. Thanks for bumping...

Those are detox symptoms @Sosa. I do get the mucus coming out of my system when I take it. I don't mind that since mucus in the body is a bad sign - means it needs some serious cleaning. Sorry it made you sick though.

 

[Aggie]

I think I'm going back to drinking my liter sized bottle of water with DE in it. It mended a split in one of my large toenails before but after a couple of years of not taking it, the split returned .

[Platinum]

It's been a while since I have used this. I took a tsp of DE last night and I woke up with some serious nasal congestion. Usually it would take a few days before I have detox symptoms but it happened quickly this time.

 

[Aggie]

Thanks for bumping @Platinum. Taking mine right now and will be drinking it throughout the day.

 

[Aggie]

Took another heaping Tbsp today in water.

 

[freecurl]

My DE just arrived!!! I'm so excited to try this. Not sure if I should try for morning or evening use initially though. I really enjoyed reading this thread and watching you tube testimonials.

How does this compare to collagen powder?

 

[Leo24Rule]

What brand? How much is needed daily to combat high blood pressure?

I purchased Diatomaceous Earth a little over a month ago based on the reviews received from a few ladies. I've been taking a tablespoon at least three times a week. I have never been great at taking vitamins and such; I always forget. A week after purchasing I gave 2 cups of the earth to my brother who has high blood pressure and cholesterol issues. This is a 46 yr old man who had a stroke this time last year. In addition, our father died of High Blood Pressure at about the same age. Religiously he takes a tablespoon a day in the morning on an empty stomach. A few nights ago I get a phone call from brother asking me for some more of the white powder. He tells me that he has run out the powder which is working great. His BP has gone from 140 to 114, normal BP is 120. My fourteen yr old had BP of 114 last week. He is going to wait a couple of months before he tells his doctor about his lowered BP. I will check back in once he see’s his physician.

His success has inspired me to be more diligent in taking my DE. I cannot speak on what it does for hair but I can tell you that after a month of taking DE my brother BP has dropped.

How does this compare to collagen powder?

Not the same. DE is mostly the mineral silica, a trace building block for hair, skin, nails, and bone. Collagen (gelatin), whether from plant or animal, is the protein found the most in the body--the glue, in other words.

What brand? How much is needed daily to combat high blood pressure?

I am trying to get my DH to take it again, a tablespoon every other day, to see if it will helps his HBP.

As long as it is food-grade, any should be fine. I use the Perma-Guard brand.

I've been taking this for about 6 years and I notice it gives me a slight stinging pain in the back of my throat. Nothing too painful but just a slight irritation. I will continue to take it though because I love the texture of it in my mouth.

Did it boost your hair growth?
Thank you.

Thank you.

Not sure, my hair grows fast regardless so it's hard to tell.

@freecurl how did the DE work for you?

 

[Bad&Bougee]

Thank you.

Are you going to try it @AdoraAdora24? It sounds quite interesting.........

 

[keranikki]

I have some DE, that's been sitting in a jar on my counter, unused. I will take it this morning. I will report back after a week of consistent use.

Improvements I'm looking for after 60 days of use:
Menstrual cycle (I have endometriosis)
HBP
Hair growth

It does sound interesting, but No. I will just be content with what I am doing now. No need to go chasing waterfalls...

 

[beloved1bx]

I started this in the spring. I think it helped to improve my digestion/helped my GI track in some way. I thought I was developing food sensitivities as everything I used to eat would give me gas, you'd hear air moving around in my gut (so embarrassing).
But after taking it for a few weeks all that subsided. I also had been dealing with a lot of mental fog and felt that it was hard to concentrate. I'm pretty sure this was linked to how much sugar (carbs) I was eating. I believe the DE helped to lift that fog as well.

I'd get breakouts when I take it tho. I guess that's the toxins that were released.

 

[freecurl]

@freecurl how did the DE work for you?

Unfortunately I stopped using after 1-2 months. I didn't see any difference, possibly with digestion. I don't think I was drinking enough water with it. I have been however using the vital collagen peptides for about 2-3 months. My skin looks good, nails stronger but not growing longer, but not measuring hair growth to detect difference.

 

[Bad&Bougee]

Thank you. Wanted to see if this would be a cheaper, more effective alternative to the Collagen Peptides I am taking but it sounds very similar so I will stick with what I have.

 

[Aggie]

Just started taking this again on Sunday and the first 2-3 days made me nauseous - detox symptoms I believe, because yesterday and today I feel fine even though I am drinking it all day in my water. It made me urinate a lot today though.
