Diatomaceous Earth You Can Trust
You use diatomaceous earth around your home, in your garden and even on your pets. That's why we obsess so much about how we produce our diatomaceous earth. We only source our DE from the high quality mines here in the US, so that you can feel confident that you're getting the very best.
Where Does DE Come From?
Diatomaceous earth is made up of tiny fossilized diatoms (plankton) that have accumulated over millennia in fresh water lakes. These pure deposits are mined and ground into a fine powder that is naturally high in silica and other minerals. It is this chalky white powder that we call diatomaceous earth.
What is Diatomaceous Earth Used For?
Pure food grade diatomaceous earth can be used for a large number of different purposes. Here's a small selection of uses:
- A natural health supplement. Being high in silica, DE supports the growth of healthy hair, skin, nails and joints
- A stain remover. DE can absorb more than twice it's weight in liquid. It is effective at lifting stains on carpet and furniture as well as grease and oil spills on concrete floors
- A cleaning booster and natural exfoliant. DE has a very porous structure, allowing it to add a gentle scrub to your cleaners or even skincare products
- A natural deodorizer. DE can be applied directly to your pets coat to limit odors. It also works well in the bottom of your trash can to keep unwanted smells at bay
- Preserve dry food storage. DE can be mixed in with any dry food storage including grains, flour, legumes, rice, and corn. Because DE absorbs liquids, it will help keep your food dry and uncontaminated

How Do I Know I Need to Detox?
Every day, we are exposed to harmful toxins like car exhaust, heavy metals, food additives, and cleaning chemicals. For the most part, our bodies are really good at cleaning out pollutants like these on their own, but sometimes they need a little extra help, and that's where detoxing comes in. If you chronically suffer from any of the symptoms listed below, it's probably time to detox your body:
Food Cravings
Inflammation
Restless Sleeping
Poor Focus
Fatigue
Skin Rashes or Outbreaks
Constipation, Diarrhea, Bloating, Gas, or Other Indigestion Problems
Mood Swings
Headaches
Weight Gain
Body Odor or Bad Breath
Allergies
Aches and Pains
How Do I Detox with DE?
Detoxing with DE is easy. Simply follow these steps:
Step 1:
Take about one teaspoon of food grade diatomaceous earth with water once a day. Take it on an empty stomach at least one hour before or two hours after eating. DE is nearly tasteless, but if you don't like its mildly gritty texture, try taking it in juice, yogurt, or a smoothie.
Step 2:
Drink an additional cup of water after each dose of DE.
Step 3:
Over the next few weeks, slowly raise your DE dosage from one teaspoon to two teaspoons, taking one in the morning and one at night. We recommend taking up to a tablespoon per day.
Step 4:
Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout each day to keep your system hydrated.
Step 5:
In her book, All the Green Things You Can Do with Diatomaceous Earth, Tui Rose suggests taking DE ten days on and ten days off for ninety days, though many people have found different strategies that work for them. Some take it daily for a few weeks, others for years at a time. Experiment and see what works for you.
How Can I Boost My Detoxing Power?
While DE alone is a powerful cleanser, there are things you can add to your detox to increase your body's ability to clean itself out.
Cut back on greasy foods, refined carbs, and refined sugars. These foods add the kind of junk to your system that you are trying to clean out with your detox. Reducing these foods in your diet will make your detox more effective and will help the benefits of your detox last longer.
Get some exercise. Along with promoting overall health, working out helps your body eliminate toxins through sweat. Even going for regular walks can have great benefits.
Breathe deeply. Good breathing habits provide increased oxygen to the bloodstream while helping to expel toxins. Mindfulness meditation is a great way to practice good breathing.
How Do I Know My Detox Is Working?
Initially, you may feel some side effects, such as headaches and flu-like symptoms. This is caused by the toxins leaving your body and is not cause for alarm. If these symptoms persist, however, lower your DE intake. This will slow the release of toxins and reduce the side effects.
As you continue your detox over the next few weeks, whatever symptoms you have–the ones that prompted you to detox in the first place–should lesson or disappear altogether. Secondly, you should feel more energy and have better general health. After detoxing, many people feel like they have a new lease on life.
A Cautionary Note
Food grade diatomaceous earth is nontoxic and generally considered safe for consumption, but make sure you listen to your body. As mentioned above, side effects generally mean the detox is working–nothing to worry about. If your side effects persist, reduce your DE dosage to something your body is better able to manage.
If after a few weeks the detoxing doesn't lesson your symptoms, it may mean that your condition is serious enough that you should consider going to see your doctor.
Also bear in mind that while detoxing with DE can promote good health and reduce negative symptoms, it has not been proven to cure any diseases. Continue to consult with your doctor regarding any existing health conditions and follow his or her recommendations.
DE also is known to kill bedbugs as well by dehydrating them.
I strongly recommend the purchasing of this product and I give it 5 stars all the way!!!!

After reading up on all the data, testimonials and reviews on diatomaceous earth, I decided to give it a whirl. It sounded like magic beans to me.
I personally have been suffering from what I believe is leaky gut, possible candida, and have been fighting Hashimoto's as naturally as possible.
So this stuff seemed like a good idea to try out.
My 2 lb bag arrived on a Saturday and I began taking it and giving it to my daughter that Sunday. It's now Thursday, less than a week from starting.
My own personal experience:
I immediately felt a "better" feeling in my tummy and proceeded to just be all out happy and productive. By the evening of the following day I began to feel worn out and grouchy and the next morning my body hurt in many areas; neck, ribs, left hip, and lower back, and I felt a migraine coming on. I immediately thought "I must be detoxing. By that evening I felt immensely better. I have had multiple normal "movements", which I haven't had in some time now (TMI?). I noticed that my body was able to sleep easier. Sleep and I have had an ongoing disagreement for quite a while so this was HUGE. By 10pm I could literally feel my body preparing to rest, whereas normally by 10pm I was hitting a sort of manic second wind and have always had a rough time falling asleep/shutting off my head. Now I can lay down and just pass out!!! That in itself is worth it.
On top of that, I just feel happier. I feel less anxious, less nervous energy, am able to handle problems that arise with a calm and causative attitude.
I went for a check up at my nutritionist yesterday, usually done monthly since finding out I had Hashimoto's. My nutritionist does muscle testing and normally my vitamin and supplements regimen is 20+ a day. Well, I left my nutritionist with a far shorter list of vitamins to take. I was ecstatic. On top of that, she muscle tested me on the DE and it completely indicated as needed by my body! WOO!
My daughter has taken it every day as well since Sunday and there is a noticeable difference in her attitude. She's a good kid, but all kids can have spurts of "bad" attitude. But she has just been increasingly becoming more and more happy, helpful, and productive. WIN! I can't yet say anything about the pinworms, it's too early to know for sure on that, but I'm keeping my eye on it and will update in a couple months. Crossing my fingers I never have to see those little buggers again.
I'm also planning on using this on our peach trees and as a "protective barrier" around the house to keep the pests out.
Oh, and I saw a couple of reviews stating that the scoop wasn't in the bag. I thought the same thing for the first two days, and then I found it after some digging. It's a little, clear, baby scoop cup and hides REALLY well within the bag. So, keep digging, or just use something else.
If you're trying to decide whether this product is for you, my honest opinion is that it's for everyone. It may not regrow a limb, but it definitely improves things!

It’s not gritty mixed with water and smells
Like lemonade:)
It does dry out bad bacteria and you will feel thirsty, I’ve been drinking a ton of water since I started drinking this! If you don’t you can become constipated .. and that would be poopy for you!
It's funny because she said one day she didn't take it and seemed to notice a difference the next morning. Go figure!
Originally bought it for spiders, but after reading a bunch starting taking internally.
Will definately buy again!
I use with gloves and a small plastic spoon, place along seams of walls and pack in. Do wear gloves when using so you can pack into seams. Safe to use with animals who live in the house and even better as an alternative to using spray or powdered chemicals ..... My son has reptiles in a bedroom and we just move tanks away from wall area, lift up any whose tanks are close to floor and set aside while dust settles.
Hope this helps!
