diatomaceous earth - did I buy right kind?

[katieash]

I have bought medical grade diatom from www.diatomx.co.uk The site looked quite nice, has tons of information and does different types of Diatom but I bought the white powdered version as I have read it is good for cutting cholesterol levels, has anyone else experienced this?

ps, from what i have read, it has 90+% silicone which is good for you and less than 3% of this is crystalline silicone so it relatively harmless when inhaled. It is the cheaper stuff that is over 5% crystalline silica that can cause lung silicosis

For those looking for inexpensive Food Grade DE this guy in Nebraska is very inexpensive.
I searched this whole thread and this place was not mentioned...

[treasuresofmine]

i am interested in the DE vendor that sells it by bag and 1.00 per pound after the weight of the bag

Does DE go bad, we can't find it around here, so I will have to order it online. It's a lot cheaper to get a 50lb bag.

No, diatomaceous earth does not go bad. It is made up of fossils so it is already at least thousands of years old already when you get it. It may cake up some if it gets wet since it is a lot like powdered lime in appearance but it will never go bad as long as it is really pure DE.
