I used it on an infestation in my coop with earwigs, and they were all gone the next day. I use it in my "deep litter" method I learned here, works great. If there were that many bugs might have been too many. I would also freeze your bag of food, if you can. I do that with my extra flour, etc. Keep it bug-free and will kill anything you can't see... I have used it (food grade) in smoothies, has extra calcium, kills parasites, good for people too....

DE's only proven uses are as a mechanical insecticide that only works when it is dry, and as a dessicant when used in grain, which it was given a "Food Grade" rating to begin with. It was never considered a "nutritional" supplement, and the only sources that tell you it is/are also selling it. DE is 90% silica which is the most common mineral in the earth's crust, the rest are oxides....you add it in smoothies, you're drinking powdered sand.

http://www.diet-and-health.net/Supplements/Silicon.html

Excerpt- Humans showed the following symptoms when lacking a sufficient amount of silica in their diet: cardiovascular and arterial problems, fragile bones, joint deterioration, digestive disorders, along with weakened gums and teeth.

And ALLLLLLLL those people are going to deny ANY natural health benefits because if people get BETTER they don't make any money or get kickbacks from the Rx.

We need to do some controlled experiments with DE. A bunch of mason jars with food stock and bug eggs. Maybe someone expert in mealworms could start with them as a easy to reproduce bug?

You need 8 jars. 4 as control groups for each of the 4 test jars below:

1) Jar no DE
2) Jar let hatch and then DE added
3) Jar let to grow into the next stage and DE added
4) Jar let grow to adult and DE added

Compare all the jars with each other and also with their control sets.

Rinse and repeat with different bugs.

Definitive results guaranteed.

Wolfwoman. You've never seen a doctor and NEVER DEMANDED that he recommends you take DE for your health problem?

I don't go to the Dr... haven't been in.... many years, can't remember how many. Hubby goes because he has an autoimmune disease so no choice... You can't tell me that most Drs. wouldn't support it even if it did work. Only the ones that REALLY care would...and there aren't many of those left.

You can argue with me all you want, I use DE in my coop and there are NO BUGS in the coop, however, I also clean skulls and there are a TON of bugs.... just OUTSIDE of where the coop is.

Methinks you are on a crusade against DE... you are on every post about it.

The fact that it is a "cure all" should be a clue. One thing that has been proven, to me, is that people that breathe it can get lung problems.
