Health benefits of taking diatomaceous earth and activated charcoal

Skin conditions

I did a juice detox a few weeks ago, to give my digestive system a break and see if it would help with the eczema on my face and the seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp. When you give your digestive system a break, it releases energy to repair and heal the other parts of your body that need it.

Candida

One thing I found out was that skin conditions can be caused by systemic candida in the gut. I had candida before and didn’t want to go through the super restrictive diet again, so I searched online and found that diatomaceous earth was great at killing candida as an internal cleanser, and it was also good for the skin, among other things.

Diatomaceous earth

Diatomaceous earth is the fozzilized remains of algal organisms called diatoms. It is 89% silica. It has a negative ionic charge and traps toxins, heavy metals, parasites, viruses, and pathogens in it and then passes through to be eliminated. It is a physical action, not a chemical one. It attracts toxins to it, it does not absorb them.

I started with a teaspoon (don’t use a metal spoon) in water and built it up to a tablespoon. I also used a straw because it tastes like drinking soap.

Diatomaceous earth is also good for lowering blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, it is good for skin, bones, hair, and nails, among other things. I have read a lot of reviews online and it seems to be good for arthritis and joint pain too. Since it is quite abrasive, it is best for skin and hair when taken internally.

It can be purchased cheaply at farm supply stores because it is good for the intestinal health of animals and pets, as well as for removing fleas. In fact, that’s why I originally bought it and was delighted to have some.

Don’t worry, it’s perfectly safe, I know it sounds gross because it’s used on animals, but it’s food grade. There is a diatomaceous earth that is for swimming pools, but that is not bought. It will say food grade on the label.

I take it 10 days, 10 days off, for three months. Make sure to drink plenty of water when drinking this because it dries it out.

Activated carbon

Something that I also decided to use, although not vital, is activated charcoal. Basically, it absorbs the diatomaceous earth and moves it faster. With candida, you can die as the organisms die, and that can cause flu-like symptoms, so it’s a good idea to get over it. I thought about using bentonite clay, but someone told me it was far superior.

I take two capsules at the same time as Diatomaceous Earth. Make sure to take it at least an hour away from food or medicine.

Let me know if you take any of these !!
