Diatomaceous Earth
#diatomaceousearth #naturalremedy
Part of our Healthful Living and Natural Remedies class held in Bismarck, ND, October, 2013, this lecture deals with the benefits and uses of diatomaceous earth. We also cover the use of contrast baths for infections.
Here is what was on the outline: Diatomaceous Earth
Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is made by diatoms, which are simple plankton or algae living in lakes and oceans. These diatoms live only about a week, and as they live, they surround themselves with mineral crustaceans, or silica, which becomes a sort of exoskeleton to them. When they die, these exoskeletons fall to the floor of the lake or ocean and become diatomaceous earth, which is really not “earth” at all, but fossil shell flour.
DE is very hard and sharp, which is what makes it very effective in use as a pesticide. The DE actually sticks to the waxy coating of bugs and causes tiny cuts or abrasions which then causes the insect to dehydrate. It is thought that it may also be ingested by insects, causing further internal injury resulting in death. It is 100% effective against mites, bedbugs, roaches, ants, fleas, ticks, garden pests, etc, and pests cannot become immune, as DE works mechanically as opposed to chemically. This opens up new vistas in organic, non-toxic gardening and pet care, as well as preserving stored grains from infestations.
Food grade DE is non-toxic to humans. There is an industrial grade, which is heated and has added chemicals and is used for swimming pools and filters. The industrial grade DE is NOT safe for human, garden or pet use and should be avoided. Although DE is not endorsed by the FDA, it has been proven repeatedly to be effective through many centuries, and testimonials abound as to its benefits.
For human use, the DE cleans the colon of deposits that can have been present for decades. It has been reported to lower high blood pressure, and helps to improve the texture of hair, nails and skin. It contains silica, which is vital to human life and health. In her book, Water and Salt, Dr. Barbara Hendel states: “Silica is the most important trace element in human health.” Silica has a direct relation to mineral absorption.
DE is also reported to lower blood cholesterol, improve osteoporosis, detoxify the body of heavy metals, improve gum and tooth health, and perhaps most importantly, rid the body of parasites.
Parasites affecting humans include, but are not limited to, roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, maggots, whipworms, liver flukes, etc. Parasites have been found in the brain, lungs, heart, colon, stomach, liver, eye, soft tissues, etc. Anyone who has pets has parasites, and it is estimated that upwards of 80% of the earth’s population is affected. Parasites can be transmitted by a cough, a handshake, by touching any publicly used surfaces such as keypads, signature pens, shopping carts, door handles, lawns, etc, as well as pets.
Some signs of parasite infestation include:
DiarrheaChronic ConstipationGas & BloatingDigestive ProblemsExcessive Early Bowel Movements (very explosive bowel movements very soon after eating)Abdominal PainMucus in the StoolsLeaky GutNauseaHemorrhoidsBurning in the StomachBloody Stools
Chronic Fatigue SyndromeLethargyExcessive WeaknessDry Skin or hairHair LossAllergiesItchy Nose, Anus, or SkinHivesAllergic Reactions to FoodCrawling Sensation Under the SkinRashesWeeping EczemaCutaneous Ulcers, SoresSwelling

Muscle and Joint PainMuscle CrampingNumbness of the Hands and/or FeetHeart PainPain in the Back, Thighs or ShouldersArthritic PainsFast HeartbeatExcessive SalivaUnclear VisionBad BreathPoor Immune ResponseFeverRespiratory ProblemsChronic Viral or Bacterial SymptomsBody Odor
Many people take a heaping tsp of DE in water or juice daily. One book recommends starting with a tsp, working up to a heaping TBS, and taking DE for 10 days on, 10 days off for a total of 90 days in order to treat parasites. Others simply take it daily for the general health benefits.

Treatment okay in treating disease it's Easily applied to the skin surface it Has virtually no side effects the only Thing is you have to be careful when you Use hydrotherapy not to use too hot of Water if you're treating someone with Diabetic neuropathy or any kind of Neurological disorder where they can't Detect the heat of the water in that Case you want to make sure that you Don't get your water over about 105 Degrees any higher than that don't use It for a diabetic because they're not Going to be able to tell you that's Burning me okay and it's also not a good Idea on a diabetic with neuropathy to Use water that's too cold just use cold Water cold tap water when you use the Contrast it produces no toxins or waste Products you tell me which drug does That tell me which drug does not produce Side effects or toxins in the body as a Result that does not tax or overwork the Liver or the kidneys we want to keep Those organs of elimination clear you Remember last week we talked about the Car with the catalytic converter and my Friend drove it got clogged up in a car Just couldn't go and it's the same with Us if our organs of elimination get Clogged up we just don't quite have that Own that we need okay it's inexpensive And readily available it can be done in The convenience of the home and it parts
A sense of well-being drugs like this Effect next week I'm going to talk about Fermentations and I remember shortly After my husband Very he got sick and he needed Fermentations and you know while I was Applying the fermentations and helping Him he started crying because of the the Care the hands-on care he never Experienced anything like that if Somebody actually spending time taking Care of him and so that's part of the Benefit of hydrotherapy is that One-on-one that communication of life in Spending the time and taking the time to Touch and take care I am investing Myself in this individual and that Really does import a sense of well-being And I can attest to that myself I could Give you a whole hour worth of Testimonials on that ok the contrast Bath is on page 37 we talked about one Of the cautions and that is with Diabetic neuropathy again I'm not going To go into a lot of detail what I do Want to do is give you a testimony Tonight in just a minute let's talk About just a little bit of this it talks About in here beginning your treatments With prayer and I think that's very Important because who made these reliefs Who gave the water this property who Gave our bodies the ability to respond To these treatments God did and so we
Need to appeal to the Lord to bless These treatments when we do them ok so Always when you begin a trigger whether It's on yourself or a loved one or Somebody you just met always begin with Prayer ok that's very important the way That the contrast bath works simply it's Very simple to do all you need is two Containers some cold water some hot Water and a few towels and a patient now For instance say like when I when I got Bit by the dog and the cat this summer I Did contrast baths and I had a big basin Of hot water and instead of having a Basin of cold water when I was treating The dog bite which was on my arm I just Ran it under the wall When I was treating the cat bite which Was on her leg I had two big buckets to Stick my whole leg down in one hot and One cold what that does is it creates Like a pump the hot water what does that Do to the blood vessels who knows it Opens the blood vessels the cold water It closes them down now what is that Doing to the blood it's pumping it okay It's get rid of the toxins and bringing That flush fresh blood and some of the Body can heal itself okay We're cooperating with nature now so What I did when I got bit bitten buggy Up by the dog I told you last week when I was talking about charcoal that by the Time I got off the airplane because I
Couldn't take care of it like I needed To traveling home I had a red streak That was starting to go of my arm and That really kind of alarmed me it got my Attention and I knew that the poultices Were not going to be aggressive enough So I thought well I need to get serious About this and I had a lot of people Calling me saying you need to go the Doctors need to go to the doc and me to Go the doctor doctors have their place And I'll be the first one to tell you Again as I said last week if I wrecked My car and I break my leg and the bone Is sticking out I don't need a charcoal Poultice I need to go to the emergency Room Okay so allopathic medicine which is Modern medicine hospitals out here they Had the place and I do believe that that I would avail myself of them if I needed To Ida died in two one was it 2010 my Appendix almost ruptured and I had to Have emergency surgery so when you way Back to this I set up my Big Basin full Hot water when I put charcoal I put About a third of a cup of charcoal in That basin of hot water and I put my arm In there and I did those treatments two Or three times a day And in less than a day that Streak was gone the pain was lessened There was no swelling and the wound was Clean now I want to ask for the bill if
He would come up here this is this is my Grandpa bill I want you to roll up your Sleeve and show them this on maybe y'all Can zoom in with the camera a little bit Can y'all see that now this is what's Today Sunday when bill they'll call me Last Monday and he said Danna what do I Do with this charcoal poultice how long Do I lead and leave it on I said well What are you putting on Auburn arm a Little bit You know I'm thinking a little burn you Know but I should have known better Because this is bill you know when he Does something he does it right it was That you can see though it's pink hair Was all beyond his healing at least Johnny yeah okay so I'm thinking a Little bit burn I didn't know what he Had on his arm so I said well you need To change it once I mean you know for Four hours or so Wednesday night when I Saw him at prayer meeting and he showed Me his arm I nearly had a fit his his Forearm was swollen twice the size it Was all red maybe he didn't have you Know even in his hand that was swelling The wound was nasty icky look and I Nearly had a fit so I called his Daughter fund and I got him in trouble And then she fussed at him She come on me it's or what else and you Got to go to the doctor of course Err there I knew Dan which found
Grateful for her expertise but I've been On charcoal oh my life I use it Internally and externally because it's Always been if its weight in gold if I Have a stomachache or upset stomach I Take a teaspoon and shake it up a little Head water and dollar within minutes It's gone My wife is hard to convince that there's Things that you could do like this wide I got our insulin time she said maybe I Should take them when the bee stung me – You got it with a bee stung I don't want A song or two and a dislike that it took Care of it but I want to say personally That's one of the best things of God I've given amen and and you can use it Internally and externally and I'm glad She said what she has so what do you Call that deity time to my sister that Something I think we all need it's right Okay thank you Bill So um the reason I called I knew that charcoal would take care of His wound I knew I've dealt with enough Nasty looking wounds that I knew that The charcoal would take care of it but I Knew bill is busy he's working about and I was concerned that bill wouldn't be Aggressive enough and treating it but Bless his heart he did exactly what I Told him to do and he must have done Real done even more than I told him to Do because well when he showed me
