Pekin duck given two weeks. Please help!!!

I just googled to see if diatomaceous earth helps with arthritis and joint pain and it does! Get the food grade from home Depot or a feed store and it's safe to ingest

I'm sure you can find somewhere on the net the DE fixes all kinds of issues,
most of them are not true.

I'm sure you can find somewhere on the net the DE fixes all kinds of issues,

I don't think it is completely fair to dismiss it because there is information on the net.

It is on WebMD that it can be used that way because it is 80 to 90 percent silica, which is helpful to joints and it is also listed in arthritis forums that it has worked for some of them.

It's readily available and already used in animal care, so I do not see an issue in recommending it. In this scenario, it may help.

Just my two cents. I am certainly a hippie, but I don't feel like this is a snake oil situation.
