Diatomaceous earth for parasites

[Coco]

Has anyone heard of or tried this product. It is supposed to kill parasites in the body, heal the gut and help with arthritis.

It is 80-90% silica. Silica helps with hair, nails and skin.

So you’re saying that silica kills parasites. I have been using Silicon + biotin from a company called CanPrev here in Canada. It contains 4 mg of silica and 2.5 mg of biotin. Is this enough?

Diatomaceous earth doesn’t kill parasites because it’s made of silica, it kills them because the skeletons of diatoms are sharp — swallowing diatomaceous earth is kind of like swallowing millions of microscopic razor blades. Even if they claim that it’s safe, the idea of swallowing this stuff is not very appealing to me.

To kill parasites I would use something like ivermectin and/or ground up pumpkin seeds. Although I can’t think of them at the moment, there are probably herbs that would be effective as well.

I agree with you Phil. I’ll try ivermectin or the pumpkin seeds.
Thanks for the information.
