Re: DE farm vs. internet grade

Dave,

Based on what Jilly says, and the following web site:

The dosage rates are different for the two different types
Not sure what kind you have. But I know I probably did way too much of the farm grade stuff. At that point in time, my detox pathways were limited and I was in terrible shape going in, so not a good scenario. Anyway it looks like the typical dose is considerably less for the Red lake Earth (with bentonite) stuff. For example dogs under 100lbs = 1/4 tsp per day.

I would NOT take more that 1/2 tsp per day of this RED lake stuff, that's just me maybe paranoid.

So far, which means a little over three day for me, I've not had any kidney pain issues. Of note I have pretty severe aches and pain through the shoulder area, body aches, stiffness. It feels liked clogged up lymph channels. I did an enema last night, that was succesful and slept like a baby. This in sharp contrast to the DISTURBED sleep previous, esp around the moon cyle. So far, DE hasn't stopped me up, though I like you am prone to constipation which is partly due to parasites, partly low thyroid. Today I took a 2 hour nap in am and then a 3 hour in the pm. SIGNIFICANT brain fog and lethargy, laziness, aches and pains.

I have done at least 3 herbal cleanses and they help kill, but don't completely get rid of. The last one was completed at the end of January and I had been really doing well concentrating on thyroid and adrenal, and experimenting with variations to my diet based on Weston Price, just for fun. And then bam it hit me the other night 1 and 2 days before the full moon. And I knew " this is NOT a hormone problem!" I thrashed about and had nightmares. Woke with the alarm clock on the 2nd night of this and couldn't even get out of bed. I was exhausted. It felt like I was literally fighting something that night. I had done an herbal enema, and I think it made them angry!

So I'm just hoping the DE does the trick. And as long as it doesn't freek me out with kidney pain, I definitely into DE for the long haul. For now at least, 1 heaping tsp everyday, 30 min before meals.

Also note: everytime I've had a SERIOUS flare up. It's been after a few weeks of drinking raw milk. I don't want to believe it, but I must believe it is a SUPERFOOD. If I drink raw milk again, it will not ever be without a 1/4 of the powdery white DE food grade mixed right in.

I sure hope the DE works. I would like to be DONE with the herbals. They seem to weaken me pretty bad (though I was low in vitamin D , nother story...) I would like to do DE continuously and through in some herbals around the days prior to full moon. Stick with my isotonic saline enemas sometimes with with water based herbal tincture-- and call it good as a long term strategy.

I have a proven strategy for zapping which I've used for about a year now, maybe longer. Very effective for blood born pathogens and dental issues, but that's about it in my opinion. Nonetheless, valuable tool in a land where there aren't THAT many things that truly seem to help.

Thanks everyone. Tweet
