Yes, I too thank you for giving us the link.  I want to use it in a safe manner rather then other chemicals, and feel that I am doing some good.

I give it to my chickens, dust their coop with it & I eat 1tbls every day!

It's helped with my arthritis, tremendously

I usually take it with some applesauce or just a glass of water.

Bon Appetit'

I was just researching DE for my chicks and found that people use it to help with human ailments, also. Fascinating! How quickly did it help with your arthritis? I'm going to try to get my parents to try it...

From the report:

 

Quote:
Supplementing DE in diets of LB hens, the more parasite-resistant breed, did not significantly affect their FEC and adult parasite load.

In half the birds it did nothing at all to control internal parasites.
