Re: Help please!! I having leaky gut and become very ill after taking Diatomaceous Earth

 After taking 1 tsp of Perma-Guard food grade DE for three consecutive days, I suffer lower back pain, increased blood pressure, fast pulse and increased body temperature.

I really do not think the DE had anything to do with this. The increased blood pressure and pulse could be from the pain.  Lower back pain and fever could be from a kidney stone trying to pass.

I think it was due to DE entered into my blood stream via my leaky gut. I am concerned about the damage to my internal organs, especially the kidneys which are very delicate. I don’t think these were Herx reaction. According to Wise Traditions (a publication of The Weston A. Price Foundation: quote “… individuals suffering from perforations of the alimentary tract (such as bleeding ulcers, colitis, leaky gut syndrome, and advanced lupus) always should exercise caution and use diatomaceous earth only under the care of a doctor or other health practitioner.”

In my opinion the Weston Price Foundation is one of the least credible sources of information for health one could possibly find.  If you search their name on this site you will find posts I did previously on them and their false propaganda.  What they don't seem to realize is that DE is silica, which we also get from drinking mineral water and by eating plants.  So do they also recommend avoiding mineral water and fibers in these cases?

Should I do a kidney cleanse as well as liver flush to get rid of the DE even though I am so ill now? I would appreciate any advice.

If you are talking about the "liver flushes" with olive oil and lemon juice these do not work:

It sounds still like a possible kidney stone.  If the pain is in the kidney area as opposed to the lower spine then I would say even more likely.  But you did not mention exactly where the pain is.  If it is in the kidney ares then I recommend nettle leaf and magnesium malate, which both dissolve the most common forms of kidney stones.
