a very good thing to drink.... 1 tablespoon a day

how about the one that is "food grade"? i bought mine at a natural store and you can digest it and it will help your system be more effective also your dog will get rid of worms if you add it to their food. you also use it for bugs

I always thought DE worked because it was so sharp at a microscopic level and got into the joints and cracks in the exoskeleton, thereby ripping the bugs up from the inside.

i see a lot of yankeeprepper fams here

I drink the shit everyday, and the silica benefits alone are worth a fortune.
-
@VicodinES mostly because of the chemicals they put in pool grade DE
-
While I do take this video seriously and appreaciate the information, I couldn't help but giggle when you said 'dust a crack'.
-
I would like to see video evidence of DE actually killing an insect. Time lapse is fine. I hear a lot about it working, mostly from salesmen, but I won't be convinced until somebody shows me.

Very good but you have to know the facts - diatomaceous earth are not diatoms. They are the fossilized remains of the silica shell that forms around diatoms. Just like any other fossil, the actual living thing is completely gone and the matter that formed around it is intact. Diatoms are not extinct.

Diatoms are not extinct. They still live in bodies of water. But diatomaceous earth is mined and made from ancient deposits of dead diatoms. Also, it's important to use food grade DE, not the pool filter variety.

@KillerTofu808 Can you enlighlen us?
the first thing you want to do is that if you're using DE for pest control, you want to make sure you choose one that was designed for that, a study out of OSU demonstrated that some of the forms are ineffective against bed bugs, there is "food grade" DE and as for the health effects I strongly suggest you do extensive research before you begin ingesting anything, much of the "it's good for...." comments are purely anecdotal and have no research backing their claims
