Yeah, but I wonder why people take it internally?
I mean...Keopectate is for diarrhea or something, isn't it? I would think that if the goal was to detox, it would be...uh...the other way around?

What it says on the container is that it draws out impurities and heavy metals from the skin when used externally. I wonder what the benefits of taking it internally are?

Do not get into eyes or nose or throat of yourself or animals.

Always get food grade
Y
Use sparingly as it is a powder that gets everywhere.

I found DE to: regulate my bowels, to remedy thinning hair, to rid my body of worms and parasites, fade brown spots on my skin, give my skin greater elasticity, and more.

DE kills fleas on my cats. When they clean themselves the ingested DE kills worms ad parasites.

I try to keep some in my water jug and the cats water dish.

It will desicate that which lives within an exo skeleton and it I'd very powdery so use with care.

It can be used wet. It will dry and remain just as useful because due is harvested from ocean bottoms and some other natural waters. DE is composed mostly of shell particles and is intetesting to view under microscope or magnifying glass.

When used with chicken or horse feed it kills worms and parasites internally, exits in the poop and lessens the fly population greatly.

It is safe and not a poison.

It appears to be a silica.

TM, do you use it externally on your skin?

Maybe I'll go back to drinking it in my water...I tried it on my skin, but perhaps it works better to ingest it?

In fact my husband did have stomach "aches" before taking it and has noticed an improvement.


Yes, I understand. I know people who have used it with out apparant issues. Your personal choice is what matters to you. My experience was not good - a doctor who is a medical intuitive saw the damage it had done inside my body and the same doctor knew someone who died from it. Yes, that is hard to believe but it is true. I'm not trying to tell anyone what to do, just passing on info that would encourage others to be responsible with what they ingest. Please investigate supplements to your own satisfaction before using them, even the ones I would recommend here.

Here's what diatamtious earth does. It clears you of all minerals and then you have to replace the good ones. It stays in your body and builds up to do harm.

Zeolite by ZeoHealth, on the other hand, is a cage molecule, which traps harmful toxins, heavy metals like mercury, cadmium, and expels them from your system. Zeolite leaves your body within 4 hours and so it is not harmful by building up in your body.

Dr. Sherrie Rogers MD has written on her extensive research about detox from heavy metals. Her book is one of the greatest contributions our health, called Detoxify Or Die.

Pluto Survivor, that sounds great! I ordered some, haha. The reviews on Amazon were really good, so I'll see how it works for my husband and I. Thanks for the info!

You're welcome, all. There are two other recommendations for detox. I don't remember the names, but I will see if I can find out. With each recommendation there is an individual protocol to follow. I can't stress the importance of this enough.

Each person's physical body and life experience is different. Everyone will need an individual protocol that is unique to them. Please get to know your own bodies and how each thing affects you. Know your own sensitivities and needs. You will be on your way to perfect health.

Eh...what do you mean by "individual protocol"?

Mine just arrived, and I took one of the capsules already. Should I be doing anything else?

I reckon that I'll take my vitamin supplements later tonight, to ensure that I'm not stripped of vitamin B, Calcium, Magnesium, or Zinc...but that's about all I've done regarding any planning?

De can be used as a scrub or mask for skin.

Well, each person's body is different. If you have kidney disease Zeolite could be very harmful. If you are an autistic child Zeolite could be like a miracle cure. Except each person has unique body chemistry, unique tolerances, unique processing ability, weight and metabolism, toxicity, etc.

So protocol for using supplements is really a set of instructions or rules, or better yet, procedures to follow which may change as you get further into your healing process, kind of like peeling away the layers of an onion skin... When the first layer is removed it reveals the next layer that was previously hidden and then becomes the next priority. There is always a sequence of preparations and applications to be followed, most of which are not known to the layman.

The body is treated as a whole and as it heals other issues may arise that have been covered up or compromised and further treatments may be recommended. You must always follow through to the end with recommended protocol in order for anything to be effective.

The average person can detox quickly with Zeolite powder without going into a healing crisis and then use it for every day maintenance at lower doses by following the instructions on the bottle, but it is wise to check with a health care professional first if you have serious health issues. I come from a family of liscensed allopathic health care professionals and have friends who are practicing holistic health providers, yet I am neither. So I just bring forth information for you to become aware and to start investigating on your own. I understand the complexities of the body more now than I used to and value the phrase "know thyself" as even applying to the physical. In the end it is how you feel and function that matters most.

Personally, I've used the loose powder mixed with orange juice. I don't mind the taste and sometimes take it straight up with an orange juice chaser, ha. It's called Zeolite Pure. Here's the link but you don't have to buy it through the manufacturer: http://www.zeohealth.com/zeolite-pure.php
There are many independent studies and independent testing on this product.

I have this particular product which comes highly recommended, but you can do your own research if you want, Great Plains bentonite detox by Yerba Prima.

I would never recommend anything that I would not take myself or recommend to my own family.

I ordered the Zeolite capsules by Zeo Life through Amazon, and I took them for a couple of days, but I think I will detox a little from some other things before I really start to take them. Need to cut back on the coffee, etc. first, I think.
I've cut out refined (or even organic) sugar for the most part, but I might stop eating the non organic graham crackers that I usually eat.

I also read in the review section that it's really important to drink more water than you normally do, to ensure that the toxins are getting flushed out.

I didn't feel any adverse reactions, but I think it would be better to be drinking less coffee first, and then do it.

It appears to be a mineral, from what I gather. So not DE or Bentonite. Although I still want to try the Bentonite they sell for ingestion.

I first heard about Zeolite from Shelley Penny, a registered nurse from Canada, who did independent studies discovering that the particular zeolite supplement she previously used, from a network marketing company, was making false claims. It's good to do research before taking supplements.

I know this post has been awhile.

I must agree with PlutoSurvivor.

You can take DE - Food grade internally. They always mention how great it is. But also from first hand experience I would have to disagree. I only took it for 2 days 3 teaspoons with water and it affected my teeth greatly. So be very careful.

You have to beware of what is said about a product; the information may not always be accurate

Do you have a yard full of fire ants or fleas?

DE is the best stuff!

Hello,

Some people might recognize DE when it was marketed in commercials as the "HARTZ once a month wormer" for cats and dogs. Its purpose was to kill off internal parasites. I do not know of any study that demonstrates its effectiveness with humans. Because of that, i have been on the fence about using it for a very long time.

I tried zeolite a few years ago. The sellers never define what it is and often uses descriptions near identical to DE, something that had DE sellers upset. I made the mistake of ignoring a very serious red flag when the zeolite sellers basically said get back to us with your experiences. They should have already invested the time and money to know just how their product works. Like a true fool, I tried it. I experienced such a crippling and painful lower abdominal cramping that I thought I had boarded the red eye to the great beyond. Only a merkaba activation spared me. I would not even offer this to someone that I could not stand. I took a chance and I feel that I am lucky to have survived it.

Old post. There are two types of Diatamaceous earth. Food grade type that is safe for humans and pets and the kind that is used for swimming pools which is toxic.
I have used
DE for many years with no harm.
It will rid you of parasites and I have passed them out of my body after using DE for a few days.
Look up the benefits on line. It is safe and cheap.
It will kill insects that have an exoskeleton though by drying the exoskeleton.
