Re: O/T Nutrition and Supplements

I'm not sure if its function is to cause or stimulate peristalsis. My hope is that it is acting like a better insoluble fiber and gently scraping away ancient matter from the intestinal wall. At least, I hope it is scraping away any fungi that have grown roots into the wall. I do have symptoms of leaky gut. That seems to be clearing. Silica is supposed to strengthen tissue; and that, especially, should help to heal a permeable intestine. If it does do that, maybe I'll finally get some nutrition. I've had this problem since I was a pre-teen 45 years ago. I am 135 lbs at 5'10". I think I was just feeding fungi all those years. ...and maybe a tape worm or two.

When I did the Humaworm course (1 month is 1 course). I was passing something that looked like short, fat, translucent rice. I rarely eat rice. I also passed, from what times I looked, a couple of what would be described a liver flukes. Not tomato skins; unless they don't decompose for several days.

I only worry about parasites from raw organic veggies. I eat a lot of those; especially during the summer.

I'm taking DE for both the silica and the grains. In the morning, on an empty stomach, I take 2 tablespoons in a 1/4 cup of water - followed by more water to wash the grit from my mouth. You don't have to take it on an empty stomach at all. When giving to pets, you actually mix it in their food. Remember that it is inorganic. I do it on an empty stomach in hopes that the bloodstream will pick up some silica in my stomach. I do the same for iodine; but you can actually cook with Iodine and not affect it. I keep a pitcher of water with a tablespoon of the DE. When I pour a glass from it, I replace the water with more. That tablespoon has lasted for a week now. I'm told that it can easily last a month. The water is always murky; and should instead be put in a gallon jug; but I don't care. This is so that I will get silica all day. Silica is not easily absorbed and will be eliminated in urine. I understand that it would be best to put some lemon or other acid in my glass to help absorption. The pitcher should have nothing added except the DE. This is so it won't mold or spoil.
