Silica
Silica is an essential nutrient and must be supplied continuously from food sources. Silica is responsible for the depositing of minerals into the bones, especially calcium. It speeds up the healing of fractures and also reduces scarring at the site of a fracture. More and more research evidence shows that through a transmutation process, silica is turned into calcium when it is needed.
Silica is available in a number of foods, such as wheat, oats, and barley. However, it often is depleted from foods due to processing, making supplementation necessary.
Natural Weight loss!
We have been getting reports that “DE” is helping people lose weight. Some who take Diatomaceous Earth in the morning are telling us that it seems to curb their appetite throughout the day. Just one more reason to take it every day.
More Benefits!
- Silica supplement action helps repair and maintain vital lung tissues and protects them from pollution. By maintaining or restoring the elasticity of lung tissues, silica reduces inflammation in bronchitis. It acts as a cough decreasing agent. Silica tones the upper respiratory tract (nose, pharynx, larynx) and reduces swelling because of its positive action on the lymphatic system.
- Silica supplementation keeps menopause free of stress and helps to prevent many unwanted side-effects of menopause; paramount being the development of osteoporosis. In men, too, the nervous system and glandular network will gradually undergo changes that cause deterioration of vital body functions during menopause. This can also be alleviated by using silica.
- Silica works with other antioxidants to prevent premature aging and top reserve youthfulness.
- New research has found that antioxidants, like silica, protect against harmful radiation.
- Silica can help prevent kidney stones and heal infections of the urinary tract. It is a natural diuretic which can increase excretion of urine by 30 percent, thus flushing the water-excreting system and restoring normal function to these vital organs.
- The presence of sufficient silica in the intestines will reduce inflammation of the intestinal tract. It can cause disinfection in the case of stomach and intestinal catarrh and ulcers. Silica can prevent or clear up diarrhea and its opposite, constipation.
- Silica will help normalize hemorrhoidal tissues.
- In regulating and normalizing the bowels, silica has a pleasant side effect; it can alleviate lower back pain, which often troubles the elderly.
- Silica proves effective with female discharge, abscesses and ulcers in the genital area and cervix, as well as mastitis (especially for breastfeeding mothers).
- The intake of silica acts as a supportive treatment for inflammation of the middle ear. Because of the beneficial effectiveness on the lymphatic system, silica can be used for swelling of the lymph nodes in the throat.
- Silica can stimulate the immune system.
- Silica can normalize circulation and regulate high blood pressure (hypertension).
- Silica can decrease vertigo, headache, tinnitus (buzzing of the ears) and insomnia
- Silica can help diabetes by promoting synthesis of elastase inhibitor by the pancreas.
- Silica can help arterial disease by strengthening the blood vessels.
- Silica can help prevent Tuberculosis.
- By improving the elasticity of the joints, silica helps rheumatism.
- Silica can help avoiding or alleviating Alzheimer’s disease by preventing the body from absorbing aluminum and may flush out aluminum from the tissues.
- Silica can stimulate cell metabolism and division.
- Silica delays the aging process of the tissues; in younger people, the tissues typically contain more silica than in older people.
- Silica increases mobility and reduces pain in osteoarthritis and sclerotic conditions.
- Silica beautifies hair with shine, elasticity and strength.
- Silica prevents wrinkles.

What is DE and How Does it Work?
Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is not earth or dirt. It is the fossilized remains of microscopic shells created by one-celled aquatic plants called diatoms.
Over the eons, as these diatoms fossilized they retained their tubular shape and holes. It is the shape and hardness that produces extremely pure and consistent DE.
DE is a physical or mechanical option not chemical. Because of this there is no danger of reaction with other products or concern of overdosing. Pests and parasites cannot build up immunity to it.
Seen through an electron microscope, individual DE cells look like old fashioned hair curlers… basically a cylinder covered with multiple sharp, pointy edges. These points give DE it’s strong but gentle abrasive quality. The surface area of they cylinder creates its ability to be a super desiccant.
If DE is such a strong abrasive why doesn’t it hurt pets or people?
The answer is size, skin and blood vessels. DE points are too small to pierce the skin. Healthy humans or pets should have no problems or reactions. All of our DE products are human tested. Individuals with sever respiratory difficulties should be careful when dusting with fine powders such as DE and wear a mask or respirator.
Differences in Grades of DE
Of the 600 deposits of DE in the U.S. ours comes from one of only four considered “Chemical Codex Food-Grade” by FDA standards. Grandpa’s DE is almost pure white and is fresh water food grade that is 89% amorphous silica with 28 trace minerals.
Fresh Water vs. Salt Water DE
Our fresh water deposit began eons ago as pure snow. The snow’s run off provided the water source the diatoms lived in. Diatoms in fresh water form a harder shell than those in salt water.
Amorphous vs. Crystalline Silica
Grandpa’s DE is amorphous silica which is silica in its naturally occurring state and is a trace mineral that every mammal on the planet needs to survive. In 1939, Nobel Prize winning Dr. Butenandt proved that “life cannot exist without silica”. The silica in DE becomes crystalline when it is exposed to extreme heat through volcanic activity or commercial manufacturing.

Diatomaceous Earth has many uses including as a health supplement, an anti-caking agent, a natural pesticide in gardens, grain storage, and more.
It can be fed to pets and animals to improve overall health, eliminate parasites, and more.

Internal Amounts:
DE is used internally for two reasons, first for immune system support and secondly as a dewormer.
DE should eliminate most worms within one week to 10 days of being fed daily. It doesn’t affect eggs, so you must feed for an additional 30 to 60 days to destroy newly hatched parasites.
DE is neutral tasting. Mix with wet food or water once a day. For puppies and kittens
Reported Uses for Diatomaceous Earth
Insecticide/Pesticide for Pets
When applying DE to your pet as in many things less is more. Put a small amount in your palm, rub your hands together and start application at the head of your pet avoiding eyes and nose. Next apply behind the ears – paying extra attention to floppy ears. Next apply to your pet’s neck and chin, then down the back including the tail being especially mindful of the area at the base of the tail and hind end. Rub the DE onto the haunches, back legs and paws and finally apply to the belly, chest, front legs and paws. Massage all the way through the coat getting as close to the skin as possible.
To eliminate pests, they must come in contact with the DE. It generally takes 72 hours for dehydration to occur. Reapplication is recommended every seven to ten days for a month to eliminate all fleas. Consistency IS the KEY! DE cannot pierce the flea egg sac so you will need to reapply to catch the new hatchlings.
For successful flea and tick eradication it is important to treat everything at the same time; pets and their bedding as well as indoor and outdoor living environments.
A Cleaner More Beautiful Home
DE is a natural deodorizer for garbage cans, kitty litter box odor, vacuum cleaner bags, refrigerators and footwear.
DE is a non-toxic cleanser and odor absorbent.
Use as a soft-scrub cleanser by mixing with dish soap or just plain water to make a paste.
Silver Polish – mix De with water to form a paste. Apply to silver by rubbing with a cloth then
rinse well. Tarnish can be removed by just rubbing with dry DE.
