Diatomaceous Earth
Diatomaceous Earth Uses & Benefits
Diatomaceous earth, food-grade, was introduced to me years ago through reading about animals and how it was good to help clear the joints and clear parasites, as well as for the garden. It is promoted as a natural de-wormer and it helps with any over population of insect when sprinkled around the interior or exterior part of the house. It is fabulous. One must be careful it does not go in one’s eyes or up the nose though as it is abrasive on the miniscule level.
Diatomaceous earth is a natural form of silica, and therefore, pulls the unwanted from the body. It is a mild abrasive and helps clean, scrub the insides of the body. It is fabulous for the skin and one’s hair which reflects the condition of the insides of the body, hence the outside then shines as a result of a less toxic load. There is also the homeopathic remedy, Silicea which does very much the same job.
With the animals, this is added to their food for approximately ten days, and then revisited based on muscle-testing their systems.
Ear mites, this is what is used in an aloe gel, as again it cleans all parasites.
Another Perspective
When reading Anthony Williams book, Medical Medium, I was surprised to learn he advises against using diatomaceous earth. He explains it does damage to the inside walls of the intestines and the gut preventing the body from absorbing nutrients from food. It also damages your hydrochloric acid, and kills good bacteria.
This has been further supported by another health professional, Tony Pantalleresco. Where he states silicea actually affects the brain, causing brain damage, as it destroys the large intestine.

I think this is to be used in moderation, not as a daily dietary staple. But a good intentional cleanse at least every six months to help the body clean.
Real-Life Experience | Canine, Consistently Throwing Up at 7am
My flat coat retriever, Yantha, started consistently vomiting at 7am. It was clear vomit, a little frothy, nothing much in it, but I could see in the morning, she looked nauseous. and then boom, she would throw up. This was when her stomach was empty. It was always this time of day too. So, it was the “stomach” that was under duress according to the Circadian Clock. I tried everything I knew to rebalance her.
When nothing worked, I thought, “Okay, something is down there that has to come up. Either worms, yet she was not choosing anything worm related during her Zoopharmacognosey sessions, or there was something foreign”.
So, I made her main meal with a lot of starch, a lot of sweet potato, minced meat and some oats. A lot of sticky stuff. Then I added 3 heaped tablespoons of diatomaceous earth, knowing this was a lot, and the body would not be happy with me, but I wanted to see her system “kick”. She ate about 4 cups of food and then about 5 minutes later, it all came up.
And what came up with it? A massive plastic cucumber wrapper! The end of cucumber wrapper, which is all burnt plastic, please see photo below, with approximately fifty percent of the whole wrapper. I was shocked I have to say. This would have been very painful on the inside of the gut walls.
As my animals eat fresh, food with life-force, they LOVE cucumbers. Especially in the summer months, as they are cooling to the body. She must have found something discarded and eaten the wrapper too.
Problem solved. No more vomiting, and no more nausea in the morning. Happy dog! 🙂
How to Proceed
I would use diatomaceous earth as a tool and heed the warnings above. Muscle testing is a fabulous tool to check how it may or is impacting the body or how it may be used as a one-off application cycle to help clear the unwanted.
