Re: Trapper, Age spots

I've been ingesting food grade diatomaceous earth for about six or seven weeks now and the age spots on the backs of my hands have almost completely disappeared.  I know where to look so can still see just a bit of a shadow.  I've also included  powdered horsetail at times too - but it's difficult to work with to get it mixed with water and the taste is rather strong so lately I've been sticking to the diatomaceous earth.   I just mix a tablespoon of it with water, and again in the evening.  I has no taste.  (I'm approaching 80.)

My nails and hair are stronger (no new hair though, darn), and bleeding gums have stopped.  There are oodles of benefits from diatomaceous earth - just stick to the food grade and search the 'net for the cheapest price.  I thought that 5# would last me a long time, and it might last a year, but next time I'll get 10#.
