Anyone here tried Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth?

My wife is giving it a try based on her daughter's recommendations.

She is using it as a dietary supplement.
Dietary Supplement : Some people consume food-grade DE as a dietary supplement, believing it offers benefits like improved digestion, detoxification, and cholesterol management. However, there's limited scientific evidence to support these claims.

I don't have much hope for this, I think it will be a fad for a week or two.




Food-grade diatomaceous earth (DE) is a fine, white powder made from the fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of algae. It's primarily composed of silica (silicon dioxide) and trace minerals.
Uses of Food-Grade DE:

• Natural Insecticide: DE is commonly used to control insects and pests by dehydrating their exoskeletons.
• Animal Feed Additive: It's added to livestock feed as an anti-caking agent and to help with parasite control.
• Dietary Supplement (Limited Evidence): Some people consume food-grade DE as a dietary supplement, believing it offers benefits like improved digestion, detoxification, and cholesterol management. However, there's limited scientific evidence to support these claims.
• Other Uses: DE is also used in various household products, such as cleaning powders, deodorizers, and even toothpaste, due to its absorbent and abrasive properties.

Safety Considerations:

• Food-Grade is Essential: Only food-grade DE should be ingested or used in applications where human or animal contact is likely.
• Inhalation Risk: Inhaling DE dust can irritate the respiratory system. It's advisable to wear a mask during application, particularly in enclosed spaces.
• Consult a Doctor: If you're considering using food-grade DE as a dietary supplement, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional.

Note: While food-grade DE is considered safe for consumption in small amounts, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate dietary supplements. Therefore, it's important to choose reputable brands and consult with a doctor if you have any concerns.

I put DE in the chicken coop and feed. Great topper for pest control when growing in soil.

I occasionally use it in my water polishing filter for my aquariums.

Grandma told stories of women eating dirt while pregnant. Don't recall the reason(s) though. Could've been for upset stomach or supplementing micronutrients.

anybody have a favorite homemade cocktail sauce recipe?

Ketchup, prepared horseradish (from the jar), Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, fresh cracked black pepper, and a dash of Tabasco or other hot sauce. Ratios depend on how spicy you like it.
