Re: Diatomaceous Earth

***Can you please confirm that you are taking food grade DE to achieve these effects? If you are not, then please let other readers know, as your comments are misleading.***

FOOD GRADE DE, the only kind safe to eat, does not work topically for anything - it's just finely powdered silica from diatomes. I wonder if you don't have the pool filter kind, and again want to warn anyone reading this post that this stuff is dangerous to eat!

I am not talking about eating the pool kind OR the kind sold in hardware stores for insect control or in farm stores for livestock. Do not eat any of these!

I have never found the appropriate product anywhere but online.

If you believe DE does anything for candida, I would love to hear your explanation for this! :-) It does not make any sense biologically, except that it would free up your immune system from having to fight parasites as well.

You take DE in a glass of liquid, I use water. I have never felt dehydrated.

I'm not sure about binding to fats and oil... I take on an empty stomach but can't really see how it "binds" to anything as it's silica. It's like tiny pieces of sand and passes right through your digestive tract.

Again, please explain the Science along with your claims, as it makes no sense to me.
