Anyone else use DE (diatomaceous earth) as a supplement to your diet?

    I sometimes eat twigs that I find on the ground, but never dirt.

    Do you know what it is and what it does or do you just put any old powder in your chocolate milk?

    No, on my head. I've got bald spots from chemotherapy.

    we use it in our garden to help keep the slugs and other buggies away... hadn't really considered supplementing with it though...

    My first thought was "DE purps" then I thought about the lovely aroma of chicken sh ite.

    All I know about diatomaceous earth is that you can use it to kill centipedes and spiders. I've not heard of anyone ingesting it.

    Wow. Yeah, I know what it is and what it does... Obviously or I would not be ingesting it. No need to be rude.

    The reason I asked again is because you didn't answer. Why do you take it and what does it do?

    Do you have worms? Because my quick google search says that's the only reason a human would consume it...

    For me, in the about 3/4 weeks I have been taking it, it has made my hair softer, it's making my hair grow back- I've got really thin hair from going through chemotherapy when I was 3, I wasn't as bloated as I usually get on my period.. My skin is softer, I can concentrate better, I sleep, I have more energy and it just makes me feel better all around.

    I am on a hair forum and lots of women injest it for hair growth. I have never tried it and have no intention of ever injesting it.

    A woman I work with uses it for arthritis. She swears it works wonders. It has many other popular applications in the holistic health world. Personally, I don't find it that odd at all. At least not any more odd than any other medical treatment or chemical we might use to heal ourselves.

    I mean... is eating diatomaceous earth (which is not really dirt -- it is fossilized microscopic shells of one celled plants) any stranger than penicillin?

    Google it! I think you'll be amazed at all the things practitioners use it for!
