Is Red Lake Earth right DE?

[fordmommy]

I've used it since Aug. 4th now. It's great! My dog's outdoor 30x40 kennel stunk to high heaven with urine and within one week...NO SMELL! Awesome!!!!!

No chickens dead. Coop smells fresh and clean.

I put a handful of RLE in the dusting spot and before I could stir it in the grey Ameraucana cockerel dived in and ate about half of it!

That was a week ago, he still seems fine.

But I admit I am being much less liberal with the stuff than I have been, after reading this thread.

We absolutely need to keep the flies down, as my DH would consider that a show stopper.

I am getting into selling the DE in my area and I have invested in the Perma Guard through the company and it is a really light grey, not bright white and it is the Perma Guard food grade DE 100% and it is more expensive than the other products because it is 100% pure with no additives in it.... I am thinking the color has to do with the age or maybe the temperature it was stored at because from the same company and the same type bag I have gotten some before that was white, it could be the settlement period... I have a small farm and I had a bad problem around my pig pen with fly's all over the ground and smell, since I have been using this the smell has gotten sooo much better and the fly's have vacated, still have a few fly's because you can never totally get rid of them but it is so nice going out there now to talk to my piggy's.... I have also recently been using it in my chicken coop and I put it in the chickens dusting box and they just love getting in it and they will peck in it and flap it all over them.... they love it.

Thank you so much for the welcome... I have been buying it for my animals through the internet and it was expensive but it was so worth it to keep down the pests, and to help my animals live a decent life in their homes. I saw an improvement in my animals behavior since I have been feeding it to them. I read where humans can take it and it helps their digestive track by cleaning the walls from all the bacteria and build up from all the toxins we take in.... well I started taking it to see for myself and I have had so much more energy because now that my digestive track is clean, my body can take in so many more nutrients from my foods that it couldn't do before. I actually feel like I am getting younger, and let me tell you, I just became a Grandma for the second time this past week. I am doing so much more with my grandson than I did before, I actually love going to the park now and playing with him....Needless to say now my whole family is taking it and I chose the avenue to sell it so I could keep affording it. It is worth it... I love helping people and I have gotten where I live by this stuff... My price is $20.00 for 32 oz. (2lb) bottle and I am currently selling it locally because no one else around me carried it and there was a demand for it....

Do you happen to have a link to that information?

I can't seem to find studies that say that.
If fact, the only places I can find that say that also happen to sell DE​

How can this help the Asian Flu pandemic? I have been taking perma guard for about a year now and I love it! We found Red Lake Earth at a local feed store and I am not sure about it yet!!

Red Lake Earth has 35% ash in it. Do not use it. Use Perma-Gaurd shell flour DE.

ALL DE has Alumina and Clay.

Those and Silca are the three main components

It's just powdered rock
