I had never heard of Diatomaceous Earth until I read an article on our local area paper, The Rocket, about its use for pest control and being totally nontoxic.  It sparked my interest, so I got on the internet, and there I was for 5 days!!  I could hardly believe what I was reading.  I was skeptical at first, but decided to give it a try and ordered 50 lbs. of it.  We started taking one heaping tablespoon a day June 23, 2008. 

I had been in great pain from lower back (I blew out the bottom 4 vertabrete in 2002) for about 3 weeks prior, and right knee had been trying to lock up on me, also causing great pain.  On the THIRD day, I realized when I raised up off the ground that I was completely pain free, both back and knee!!  And have not had any pain from either since!  About a week later, I realized that my skin, which has looked like a dried up river bed for the past 15 years or so, was soft and actually shiny! 

I drug my finger nails up my arm, and lo and behold----NO CHALK LINES!!  AND, I FEEL GREAT! 

I decided that people needed to know about DE, so I set out to find 24 people who were willing to listen for a while about it, and if they decide they want to try it, I supply them for three months, and at the end of the 3 months they pay me for the DE with a written testimonial of their DE experience, good or bad.  My first "DE Buddy" was my mail lady.  As we visited about it, she told me her father had just been diagnosed with prostate cancer 2 or 3 weeks prior.  In my research, I found that cancer cannot survive in a body sufficient in silica, and the the 1939 Nobel Prize winner proved, scientifically, that life on this earth could not/would not exist, if not for silica.  So, she convinced her father to try it, taking 1 heaping tablespoon, twice a day (AM and PM).  He'd been taking DE about 12 days when he had the next blood test done for cancer cell count, but there was no change.  On the next blood test just this last week, his count went from 8 down to 4!!  And he's only been taking it for about two months!!  This is, of course, the kind of news that makes the tears roll!  The joy in her face and heart was just plain overwhelming.  And do you know what it costs me to supply him daily with 2 heaping tablespoons?  About $.032!!  What would the bill have been, both in the check book and the body, if he'd gone ahead with chemo?  An un-Godly amount!!  And, she has lost 7 pounds, and has not changed her diet!
