“Silica is the most important trace element in human Health” ~ Dr. Barbara Hendel

Diatomic Earth is a natural product also known as Diatomaceous Earth. It is made from the fossilized remains of tiny, aquatic organisms called diatoms. Their skeletons are made of a natural substance called silica. Over a long period of time, diatoms accumulated in the sediment of rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans. Diatomaceous Earth is a soft, silica-based rock powder made from fossilized diatoms, and contains a number of beneficial trace minerals. It has a long list of wonderful uses for people and pets alike.

Other Uses

Taking silica in the form of Diatomaceous Earth helps the body absorb and use the calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus to form healthy bones. (Calcium and Vitamin D are usually given to improve bone growth, but most people don’t realize that the body cannot absorb calcium without the addition of silica.)

1. By reducing the unhealthy fats, Diatomaceous Earth effectively reduces the bad cholesterol level in the body.
2. Our hair requires silica to grow and shine. A good supplementation plan using Diatomaceous Earth will stimulate hair growth and help prevent hair loss. When silica is plentiful in the body, hair grows healthy and shiny.
3. Food grade Diatomaceous Earth kills cockroaches, bed bugs, stink bugs, ants, fleas, spiders, silverfish, dust, and spider mites. The abrasive diatoms create tiny cuts in the insect’s skin or outer shell and dry it out, killing the insect slowly within 36 hours.

Diatomaceous Earth for pets acts as a non-toxic tick and flea remedy for dogs and cats; simply brush the powder into your pet’s hair and sprinkle it over their bedding. You can also add Diatomaceous Earth powder to your pet’s food as a safe natural deworming treatment.
