I would like to see a study on the "negative charge of DE" purging your body of viruses. Thanks.

@ThatMixer Here's what I pulled up quickly on google. mmsdr.com/index.php?page=diato­maceous-earth I hope it helps!

Hey Will. Thanks for such an informative video. However I've been taking this smoothie for several weeks now and have noticed my stools are much harder and difficult to pass. I was wondering if this is normal when one starts taking DE, or kefir, and if it is likely to pass?

p.s. I *am* jealous of your blender!

@randalllfloyd Kefir smoothies with FOOD GRADE DE shouldn't slow down the bowel. Make sure that the DE you are using is food grade! Also, perhaps use less DE at first and see if the slow bowel changes. Play with the recipe and find what will work for you!

To your health!

I love this recipe & is great without the honey. I just use a very ripe banana. Thank you!

@missasonn86 Agreed! I have since dropped the honey from my daily smoothie as well. I did put a little stevia in to help with the transition. Thanks for the kind words! Enjoy...

To your health!

I take my DE daily and just in plain water, it is not that bad , I just get it down in 1 or 2 gulps

Thanks for the video! I'm just starting to make my own kefir and found your video while searching for whether or not the kefir is harmed when blended into a smoothie. I see that you've answered that question here. What is the difference between the two kefirs that you pour into the blender? I notice that you poured "leftover kefir" in early in the video and then added more "ripened kefir" from a different container towards the end after you'd already blended the ingredients for a while.

@19ClairCognizance87 Thanks for the kind words! Although it may seem silly, hearing that folks like you find benefit from the videos keeps me making them!

To your health!

@hagenfun5 I agree with you that honey is naturally antibacterial. I have since changed my kefir smoothie recipe to use just a touch of stevia powder (or nothing other than the banana) for sweetener. I really think that the amount of honey would not be able to kill all the bacteria in kefir. The strains of probiotics in wild fermenting kefir like this are so robust, honey isn't going to wipe them out. After all, kefir has been shown to kill ecoli, for example.

To Health!
