    I eat food too ....... I'm just looking for natural additives to make me healthier. If there are things out there, why not learn about them and use them? It seems like a terrible waste not to...

    And supposedly the "clay" that moves through your digestive tract after you ingest DE is negatively charged and most bacteria is positively charged so it helps to remove impurities. Also, the particles are just jagged enough to impale the exoskeleton of parasites, which removes them in the case that you have any. But are not harmful to internal organs. I haven't read any negative reactions or side effects. I'm just nervous to try something that isn't "main stream"....

    so what magical mixture do you use with it that puts back the good bacteria you also kill?

    Kefir !!

    It's not the same thing. This is a food grade DE ...... not the pool stuff.

    I don't know anything about it but I DO recall gathering either 4 of 8 of these in Zul'Drak.

    As a former WoW nerd, I lol'd.

    as a current wow nerd, i chuckled.

    This definitely brought back memories!

    If the particles are jagged enough to impale the exoskeleton of parasites, then what do you think it will do to the fleshy internal lining of your intestines?

    I'm not sure you know what a 'waste' is.

    Why can't we all just eat food anymore? There is no need for all these gimmicks. Whatever perceived problem we are trying to solve could easily be averted by eating healthy to begin with or from this day forward. I am reading all this praise for DE and ionized water and cherry juice diet this and water fast that. There is no need! The time, effort and resources spent trying to implement such "treatment" seems to do little more than fool yourself into thinking you did something good. There is no short cut to long term healthy living.

    I was worried about that but I have found reviews from people who have used it 30+ years, daily. And it's been used for however long for animal ingestion....... no internal bleeding in any of those cases.....

    Kefir !!

    that sounds like smoking pot after doing coke - a lot of work and money to get you back to where you started.

    I eat well too. I just have issues with digestion sometimes. Just because it's not widely used, doesn't make it a gimmick. Why not use something for a short time that helps by assisting a healthy lifestyle?

    Just buy some Kefir Grains on ebay and tinker around with different milks to get the flavor you like..... the grow in fermented milk.

    Why do people ask these questions when they clearly have all the answers? Just drink it if you know what you're doing.

    It will not cure your digestion issue, so short term use does not apply here, you would have to use it for life if in fact it helps with digestion. It also does not discriminate bacteria so you will lose all the beneficial flora of the GI tract, now you have to take yet another supplement to replace that. This cycle will just continue and continue. Take more and different supplements to offset the side effects of others. If digestion is an issue, I am sure you can fine tune your diet to arrive at a solution. Just my thoughts, there very well may be people with great experiences using is.
