Hey BJ, what about GSE, that's a great parasite murderer, and it's gentle. It aslo kills yeast. Whenever I've used it, I've not had very bad die off reactions. Seems to be more gentle than black walnut.

After reading everyone's thoughts on diatomaceous earth, I didn't see anyone mention the danger of inhaling any of it. It is to be handled using a face mask, and it is also a dessicant so it dries out the skin. In my part of Canada, the organic grain growers use it in their graineries, and they know not to breath it. Just a heads up...

Don't get it in your eyes either.

The main DE thread contains several warnings about the dangers of inhalation.

Perhaps a little off topic - but wanted to add anyway.

I bought a pound of food grade DE a couple months ago to add to my dog's food and to our chicken feed, and to sprinkle in the gardens/around the yard. I started reading about all the health benefits that it can offer to both animals and people and decided to give it a shot myself.

I had a sinus infection for about four months. I saw three different doctors and told all three that I didn't think it was a bacterial infection and wanted them to do a culture to find out what we were dealing with. All three acted like this was the craziest request they had ever heard, and put me on antibiotic after antibiotic. After a month on four different antibiotics, the sinus infection hadn't cleared up at all and I now had unhappy bowels and an uncomfortable yeast infection (after a month of killing off my good flora what could I expect?). I found an herbal antifungal solution that I added to my daily Netipot routine and the sinus infection started to clear up within a week. (Turns out I had a water leak in my office at work with some major amounts of mold growing in the wall/carpet.)

Anyway. I decided that it wouldn't hurt too much to try adding DE to my water to see if it could help clear up my issues from the antibiotics. It sure seemed to. I've continued taking it daily, 1 Tbsp a day normally. When I started feeling like I was coming down with a cold recently I bumped it up to 2 Tbsp per day. My husband came down with the same early cold symptoms the same morning I did. He's very opposed to me taking DE (he's worked in the pool industry for 15+ years and can't get passed the toxicity of the DE used in pools vs. food grade.) and won't take it himself. My cold symptoms (tired, stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat) were gone by the following morning, he felt bad for a week. The past couple weeks I've been getting very little sleep and woke up yesterday morning with stuffy sinuses, a runny nose, sore throat - similar precold symptoms. I bumped my DE up again and felt better by this morning. I also upped my vitamin C, zinc, grapefruit seed extract and olive leaf extract this time since I really don't have time to be sick - but I can't help thinking the DE helps too.

Hello Jaque,
I saw worms in my 20 month old stool today. I had suspected something for about a week since her BM changed in the last week to normal to very loose. She has also said "itch" about her vag/rectal area for about the same time.
I already use DE for our Goats but would like some better direction as to how much and how to give it to my family. I have 7 of us ranging from 9 years for the oldest and 20 months the youngest. I am planning on giving this to all of us since it seems like the most straight foward and "easiest" way to rid us of these little "suckers." Can we put it in smoothies? Or would that just ruin the smoothie and better to just drink it then drink the smoothie afterward?
Thank you in advance.
Tennille

Hi Tennille,

Aaah... That is pleasant! Tongue

Since you are already familiar with DE for your animals, the following link will be, in large, a refresher for you -- though on the human level, instead of for your animals.
http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/diatomaceous_human_use.html

I like the detail Wolf Creek Ranch goes into regarding usage, as well as benefits. Food-grade DE is great stuff... Cheesy

We usually use approximately 1 TBS for adults, and 1 tsp for youngsters -- but that should vary a bit, depending upon how much a person needs to detox as well. (Remember, we are looking at many different benefits - so while the main concern is the parasites at the moment, the detox is also important.)

No one likes a rough detox, so it might be better to start with lower doses, and over the course of a week or two, bump up a bit to larger amounts. Just make sure you give it every day, and not skip days in between (if you do, just start over on your days).

We just take the DE in a small amount of water, then follow with a larger glass to rinse our mouths. (The DE is "gritty", and has an earthy taste - not horribly unpleasant, but for some, it takes a wee bit of getting used to. Cheesy

) I have not tried it in smoothies, but bet something like that might mask the DE quite well. We just like to get it down and over with, so I would still take in water... and then follow later with a yummy smoothie. Grin

**For puppies/dogs, we recommend using for a 7-10 day period - this allows for killing off of most parasites. I have followed this for our human family as well, though there are enough benefits above and beyond that of parasite removal that could encourage someone to take this on a regular basis... Wink

Hope this helps...

Thanks a bunch. I am heading to the feed store today to buy a new 50# bag. I have two bottles of an hebral dewormer...should I give the kids that too? We are giving up sugar for the duration as well, plus limiting meat. I will update you as to how well it works for us.

The DE threads have been split and renamed to help keep the conversations more fluid and the information easier to find.

Thanks HB! Was just thinking this needed to be split... Embarrassed

Tynnille,

Not knowing what kind of dewormer you have, I would greatly hesitate to give it to the kids (your human kids Cheesy

).

I believe, in many/most cases, the DE should work efficiently, without the use of another dewormer... but, if you haven't, you should read through the information I included above; I am not positive, but believe true food-grade DE (as in "human-grade") may be processed differently than what you will find at the feed store... but not positive. Grin

I know the DE at the feed stores is considered "safe" for animal consumption - but since they are expecting only farm use, there may be contaminants in it... ? I don't have time this morning, but am thinking when I get a few minutes later today, I will call Wolf Creek Ranch (or you might?) and see if there would be a real difference between the two products.

Anyway, hope that helps ~
