Diatomaceous Earth reviews PLEASE..

I'm starting to think that I'm going through a reversal. Now, when I drink the DE water before bed, I find that I have insomnia. So, now instead of helping me go to sleep, it's keeping me up.

I still take my chlorella/spirulina during the daytime. I'm trying to figure out a good time to take the DE now. I want the minerals vitamins for both without canceling eachother out.

Make sure the DE you have is food grade only.

I still haven't made a jug of the DE water yet.
 
Nasdaq,


I had called Wolfcreek Ranch and they told me that DE does NOT "absorb" the vitamins/minerals that you take.

I still take mine religiously each and every day. I even took some with me on vacation for Labor Day weekend and I keep some at work and put it in my green tea mid-morning and my grape juice in the late afternoon. I still sleep well, vivid dreams every now and then and better energy due to the better deeper sleep. My skin, feet and hands are still soft so DE is working for me.
 
Hi Ladies,

After reading the thread I'm curious as to why there is muccus from the vagina? What is the orgin of the muccus? Has anyone needed lubrication since taking DE?
 
ok mine just came in the mail! im so excited! lol i got 1lb for 8 bucks i think. the package says food grade but then it has the names and dosages for animals. is this ok? lol
 
I haven't taken any in 1 week now. I was taking it every night, but I think now instead of making me sleepy, it was keeping me up. So, now I'm going to start taking DE during the daytime to see how I react.
 
I have to say that I got a lot of growth from using DE. When I started bunning a month ago, I had just enough hair to put in the bun. Now, I have more hair hanging out of it. I haven't been drinking as much, but I'm going back to it. I no longer need coconut oil to get my BM benefits, but I wonder if I should do so anyway for optimum health.

Told ya it would balance out. :yep: CO is good for overall health, but be careful taking the two together. If might make you a bit too loose if you know what I mean.
 
ok so im going into day 3 of this and im having some troubles lol. my mouth is dry as all get out and i have been drinking water by the bucket. TMI ALERT lol, i have not had a bm since the first day i started and i usual "go" twice a day. :( am i doing something wrong?
 
Some users, myself included experience constipation in the beginning. I combated this with EVCO. A tablespoon melted over food. Warning it gives energy so don't do it at night.

After a while everything balanced out and I no longer need it. Also see DDTexlaxed post below.
 
I've been giving my cat some in her food once a day for as long as I've been taking it (about 5 weeks). My mom came over the other day and was petting her. She was like, omg, she's soooo soft! Did you get a new brush? I'm like huh? And then I realized.. the only change was the DE. I guess I didn't notice because the change was gradual, but it actually did make a huge difference in the texture of her fur. Hopefully it is doing the same for my hair!
 
Just got mine in the mail today. I'll check back in to report any changes good or bad.:yep: I'm excited. Guess I owe all those ppl who talked about eating dirt an apology:blush:.
 
Ok, so I started back on DE a few days ago and forgot about the energy part. I've been taking a tbsp in my tea right before bed and have been having trouble falling asleep. I have a loaded cup of tea right in front of me and reading Flow's comment hit me like a bolt of lightening. D'oh!!!

NJoy, I was fine using DE nightly for the first month getting sound sleep. The past few weeks though I'd had insomnia. only recently did it occur to me that it may be the DE. So, I've been taking it during the day (when I remember) and I'm not tired or drowsy! I dont have a surge of energy though either.
 
Nasdaq_Diva, yeah, I'm definitely going to have to switch to earlier. When I took DE before, I took it twice a day with the 2nd dose being no later than about 6pm. I knew better. :wallbash: So, I was drinking my tea while reading Flow's comment and here I am, still up at 2am. I feel exhausted but I can't fall asleep. My mind is going a zillion miles per minute with random thoughts. Ah well. Tomorrow will be better.
 
Okay I put less than 2 tbsp in 25oz of water... It turned straight up white almost like milk. So I shook it and that didn't help... Did I put too much? I guess it's still okay to drink it the site said you can't over dose.

It didn't settle at the bottom? I've never had it turn white like milk but it will be cloudy until it settles. As long as its food grade, you should be okay.

I dilute mine with water before mixing. I don't get dust particles this way.

But aren't you exposed to it before being mixed with water? I mean, when you open the container you store it in, it's there in your face, no? Even if for a few seconds.

I'm not trying to be a debbie downer, but I'm reading that it's not safe to inhale this stuff and I hope that you guys are aware of this.

I store mine in a canister. When I open the top the de just sits there. So I stand arms length and dip my spoon in the container and put it in my cup. I am not standing over it with my face above it. so no dust goes anywhere.
when I first put the de in a canister a little bit of dust came up but that was it.
 
If you ingest a large amount of it, it just irritates you. It has never happened to me. I don't use it for house hold uses like ridding a bed of bed bugs. I just drink it. It really is not a danger if you use a few tsp in your drink. If you intend to use a large amount for other uses in the home, using a mask is best.

Thanks!! I'm interested in trying it for the ummmm...bowel help lol, but the inhalation thing gave me pause.

I don't know how to multi quote, but thanks as well DD
 
I agree with DDTexlaxed. It would just irritate you if you are sensitive to dust. I keep mine in a big plastic container and no dust comes up when I open it. I just dip a clean tablespoon in it to scoop it out and that's it.
