Anyone here actually eat DE themselves?

Yes, I mean Diatomaceous Earth. I had someone talk to me about it, she was really sick from poisonous metals in their well and taking DE was one of the things she did to get her health back.

I'm just curious if anyone here takes it for any reasons.

Not me, although there are some on the Board who do.......interesting stuff though, I use it in the chicken sheds (stables) and it always makes it smell so much more pleasant.....

I've been eating food grade DE off and on for about 2 years.

I mix a heaping teaspoon with 6 0r 8 ounces of yogurt, daily. When I do this regularly, I've noticed that my internal plumbing seems to run more smoothly. I've also noticed that I don't get the monthly cramps as bad, or at all, which is a sign of a mineral deficiency.

Dawn - thank you for that response.

I've got to second that!! I've only been using it for about a month and a half and this month my cramps were almost non existent. If the DE can do this, it's a keeper in my book!
