Diatomaceous Earth

You're the one with all the "facts" about it. One guy already said he has been using it for two months and his bones feel better. I'm not sure how he feels pain in his bones anyway, but whatever. Stop being scared, you did the research. Chug it! Chug! Chug! Chug!
You settle down over there, jeez! I'm drinking it in the morning. I'll let you know how it goes.0 -
The typical chemical composition of oven-dried diatomaceous earth is 80 to 90% silica, with 2 to 4% alumina (attributed mostly to clay minerals) and 0.5 to 2% iron oxide
Silica = SiO2
alumina = Al2O3
Iron oxide = there are many types..
Well I can tell you silica doesn't break up in liquid(water), alumina does, iron oxide is usually known as rust.
So you'd just be drinking moon rock, alunimum, oxygen, and rust.
Go lick a bumper instead.

Bump. I'm thoroughly grossed out and equally intrigued. Update us on your status in the morning, OP :drinker:
And to think we waste time arguing about the pros and cons of diet soda when people are drinking pest control products!0 -
I have been taking Food Grade DE since January. No harmful effects. Has helped my sore bones in the morning, more energy, and a lot more regular. This is not the stuff they use in Swimming pools. See link below for more info.

I love the stuff!
YOU ! I've been waiting for you :flowerforyou:
Thank goodness they googled, I mean happened across this discussion! And with a handy website too ;D
I'm still wondering what it would feel like to poo sand- fine it's FOOD GRADE but it's still rusty sand.0 -

I thought your silica count was too high... then I looked it up. You're right. Where did you find that?0 -

Don't be condescending.... read about it and educate yourself. It's not a chemical, I'm sure it's a hell of a lot less damaging than aspartame or McDonalds. It's more like eating dirt than a pest control product...... lol0 -

Same with Food Grade gloves, and Food Grade plastic wrap, and Food Grade sanitizer, and Food Grade detergent, Food Grade pesticide, etc.
Something labeled as Food Grade doesn't make it edible.0 -
Honestly, something used to filter swimming pools, where you are supposed to wear a mask to filter it, is NOT something that I would be ingesting.
My first thought when reading the title, something that goes in a pool....0 -
What exactly makes it food grade? Is it covered in ranch dressing?0

Like I said, the silica in the food grade and the silica in the pool cleaner crap is way different, I thought you were quoting the pool crap because it's much higher. But you're not..... you're right. I know what food grade means.
Iron oxide is just that right.... Iron that has been exposed to oxygen. On a cellular level, is it bad? I don't mean to sound like a moron, this kind of stuff is so interesting to me. I wanna be an Apothecary when I grow up0 -
Alumina can't be good.... But, the DE stuff supposedly rounds up all of the free metal radicals floating around too... so isn't that contradicting itself? Where did you get that break down?0

F#*K it ! I'm going to drink a beer . Goodnight guys.....0

Ok so u piqued my interest now so i did some quick googling lol..apparently the silica in food grade & pool cleaner is the same except food grade is amorphous & pool cleaner is crystalline..so basically pool cleaner silica has been heat treated which changes its physical shape...the shape of the silica & the fact that food grade contains less poisonous heavy metals are the only diffs0 -
I don't know anything about it but I DO recall gathering either 4 of 8 of these in Zul'Drak.

You people are ruthless if Alexander Fleming caught this much heat, we'd be in a world of trouble.0

which is probably why normal people would never consider ingesting it. Thanks friend0

:flowerforyou: Hey, good luck fighting the MFP-ers. I appreciate you staying polite despite less than pleasant feedback. It's very classy of you.0
