hey guys so today we’re going to talk

about diatomaceous earth okay now some

people know this product as a bug killer

because when bugs consume it they die

but it’s also something that we can

consume too you do not want to inhale it

by the way but taking a food grade

diatomaceous earth is actually a very

very safe thing and it’s very very

healthy it can actually help detox

metals in the body it can help kill

pathogens you want to make sure you get

the food grade which is a non

crystalline form okay so it’s not heated

because when you actually heat this

product it turns into a crystal and

that’s not the form that you want to

consume so what is diatomaceous earth

it’s basically prehistoric about 13 to

50 million years ago

fossilized phytoplankton okay phyto

meaning plant so it’s like an algae and

this phytoplankton consumes on a yearly

basis 6.7 billion metric tons of silica

so it pulls in the silica and when this

plankton dies it leaves the shell at the

bottom of the ocean or sea bed so in

certain oceans there’s about a half a

mile of this shell sitting there so you

can see that that these guys have been

around for a very very long time and

another interesting notice 50% of the

oxygen that you breathe on this planet

is created by phytoplankton

so the real big benefit of diatomaceous

earth is the silica okay and by the way

it’s the second most prevalent element

on this planet other than oxygen so it’s

all over the place but it’s really good

for maintaining the structure of our

bodies

great for the nails strong nails if you

have brittle nails you need to take some

of this good for the hair it makes your

hair really shiny and healthy it

actually gives the skin more of a fuller

look so it’s it’s less wrinkly as you

age you lose silica so if you’re over

the age of 50 taking some of this could

actually help you look more youthful

it’s great for ligaments and tendons and

elasticity flexibility did you realize

that your bone contains more silica than

cow

so it’s it’s actually you need it for

the bone the aorta it supports the aorta

which is a main vessel that emanates

from the heart it supports the teeth in

gum so if you have a loose tooth this

would be good to take make sure you do

not inhale it okay it’s not good for the

lungs but get a food grade I don’t have

any specific brands find one with good

reviews and take about a teaspoon a day

on an empty stomach
