Cholesterol Natural Remedies
Food-grade Diatomaceous Earth? To eat? (Or, at least, to put in tea.) Really?
As some of you know, I am an RN, who now does Health counseling and coaching by phone. I frequently speak to people who choose not to take the medications prescribed to them for conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol, preferring to take natural/herbal remedies or supplements. Although I am certainly more knowledgeable about Western medicine, I have no problem with other treatments, wherever they may originate, as long as they actually work. I am getting more familiar with certain substances, like cinnamon and red rice yeast (or maybe it’s red yeast rice?), but recently had a patient sing the praises of food-grade diatomaceous earth, for either blood pressure or cholesterol treatment. Does anyone have any knowledge of this, used to treat medical conditions? I did some online searching, but mostly found gardening or insect control info, and the food-grade info was limited to sites that sold the stuff, so not exactly unbiased material.
Thanks,
Katherine
While looking for a ‘natural’ way of flea and parasite control, I’ve been doing a pretty ‘in depth’ study of the ‘food grade’ diatomaceous earth.
For ingestion by either human or animal, the FOOD GRADE is the most important thing to remember here. There are ‘lesser’ grades for treating the lawn, treating building perimeters and for swimming pool filters.
Now, I’m a ‘naturalist’, more interested in the ‘prevention’ rather the ‘chemical cures’ of today’s medicine. Just seeing the list of ’side effects’ listed on each drug on the market is frightening.
I’ve been really impressed with the pureness of diatomaceous earth…and what I’ve found really makes sense.
WHAT IF diseases like cancer are actually the result of some type of parasite infestation? It’s possible, seeing the quality of the foods we buy and the ‘recalls’ of beef and other products that are found to be unfit, unhealthy or containing salmonella, melamine or other harmful ingredients…both sickening and killing people and pets…
The ‘food grade’ diatomaceous earth is a pure and natural product of the sea…ground fossils. Although, to the touch, it feels like a very soft powder, to the insect or parasite, it is like ‘walking/crawling over ground glass’. It cuts into their skin and kills them.
Considering the cost of Frontline for flea/tick control on our cats and dog…$122.00…(which made 5 of my pets extremely sick for 2 days) and the cost of insect control for lawns and the veggie garden…the DE is a bargain. I just received an order, 2, 5 lb. bags for $28. including shipping.
I have been ‘powdering’ the cats and dog (carpet and pet bedding) and the flea population is nearly zero. The ‘bonus’ is, when the cats ‘groom’ they are ingesting it and being cleansed of any parasites like tapeworm, etc.
Large cattle farms add DE to their grain/feed, not only keeping the feed free of insects but curing any internal problems caused by fly eggs, etc.
Personally, I haven’t started sprinkling it on my oatmeal yet…LOL…but, with a little more research, I might <:O)
It may be a 'stretch' to say ingesting DE will control blood pressure and/or cholesterol UNLESS it can be proven that these health issues can be traced back to parasite infestation in the blood stream, affecting the heart, clogging and narrowing the arteries, etc. What about the possibility of parasites being responsible for Alzheimers and ADHD ????
It's a very interesting study and the possibility of DE being a great preventive and cure is pretty high, but I'd like to see more research done on it, because it really makes a lot of sense. <:O) Helen
