DiaWhat?!?! Diatomaceuos Earth. Have you heard of it?

Neither have I until today. Maybe you have heard about it and had no problems pronouncing the name. It is new to me and I am looking forward to ordering some. 

Below is an excerpt of some of the heath benefits when taken for human consumption.

Health benefits of D.E. only begin with colon detoxification. Other benefits of Diatomaceous Earth can be organized around three principles: over-all health; anti-aging; weight loss.

Over-All Health Benefits:

-helps repair and maintain vital lung tissues and protects them from pollution
-lowers high blood pressure
-lowers high cholesterol
-addresses osteoporosis?& joint problems
-acts as a cough decreasing agent; tones the upper respiratory tract (nose, pharynx, larynx)
and reduces swelling because of its positive action on the lymphatic system
-helps to prevent many unwanted side-effects of menopause?
-helps to prevent kidney stones
-heals infections of the urinary tract; 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
-effective with female discharge, abscesses and ulcers in the genital area and cervix, as well
as mastitis (especially for breast feeding mothers).
-acts as a supportive treatment for inflammation of the middle ear (effective in reducing
swelling of the lymph nodes in the throat)
-has anti-inflammatory disinfecting, absorbing and odor binding effects
-normalizes circulation and regulates high blood pressure (hypertension)
-decreases vertigo, headache, tinnitus (buzzing of the ears) and insomnia
-promotes synthesis of elastase inhibitor by the pancreas, thus helping to normalize diabetes
-strengthens blood vessels
-helps to prevent Tuberculosis.
-improves the elasticity of the joints; helps rheumatism
-stimulates metabolism for higher energy levels

Weight Loss:

One of the benefits of silica is that it helps to destroy bad fats. Taken in the morning, it helps to curb appetite throughout the day.

Anti-Aging:

Hair (90 micrograms per gram) needs almost as much silica as bone (100 micrograms per gram). Eating D.E., with its rich supply of silica, should be part of any ongoing hair revitalization program. Silica helps to prevent baldness, stimulates healthier hair growth and assures beautiful shine, luster and strength.

Make your own natural tooth powder

Want to save money? Well one way it to start cutting costs at home. Most people spend so much on cleaning products and personal care products. I now make my own household cleaning products, tooth powder, and laundry booster. I have even made my own detergent. It's simple and cost effective.

Here is the remedy for my tooth-powder:

4 oz glass, plastic, or metal container with lid
Baking Soda
Himalayan Crystal Salt-Half Tbsp
Xylitol 1 Tbsp
Peppermint Oil-3-5 drops. It is strong so you may want to start with less then add more.

Directions:

Mix the Himalayan Crystal Salt, Xylitol, and Peppermint oil and shake well to ensure that all of the ingredients are mixed. Add the Baking Soda (I suggest using one without aluminum). Add enough to fill at least 3/4 of the container. Shake well and store. Viola! Your own tooth powder and enough to last a least a month depending on the size of your family and how often you brush.

Make your own dry deoderant

I have been using natural deodorants for about two years now and I have tried so many brands. All have worked great for the first few days but wore off. After searching and trying to find something that works for me I came across this one remedy that works wonderfully.

Remedy:

Measure one part cornstarch to 6 parts baking soda. For instance I used 1 half tbsp of cornstarch and added 6 tbsp of baking soda to a glass container. I also added a few drops of essential oil.

I have used baking soda in the past. I discovered later that the brand I was using contains aluminum and it irritated my skin. This time around I am using baking soda without aluminum, which by the way is better for you considering that aluminum is toxic to the body and when applied to the skin is absorbed into your blood, and certified organic cornstarch. It works great!

Another good recipe.

Baking Soda remedy shrinks tumors

Cancer cells thrive in a low-oxygen environment. The body cannot retain oxygen cells if the blood pH is highly acidic, and this is the standard condition of those with tumors who eat a diet of refined sugars, flours, caffeine and other acidic foods. Baking soda, or Sodium Bicarbonate, is a substance that neutralizes acids. One teaspoon a week will reverse an acidic blood pH, as will switching to a diet high in alkaline-producing foods.

Because cancer cells are so hungry for sugars, when the baking soda is mixed with maple syrup, the mixture will go straight to the site of the tumor, like a Trojan Horse, where the bicarbonate will quickly work as a weapon against disease. A good recipe for this is to mix 3 parts organic maple syrup with 1 part baking soda, stir over very low heat for 5-10 minutes and take 3 tsp per day for 1 to 2 months.

"I found the article about Dr. Simoncini in Italy who injected baking soda directly into the tumors to kill them." Braun continues. "For some reason this idea struck a chord with me. Three weeks after taking a baking soda and maple syrup mixture, my tumor began to shrink and become softer. This was documented by my oncologist and the surgeon by physical exams and also measurements by ultrasound. The tumor shrank down to 1.7 centimeters then only to 1.4 centimeters 2 months later after the ultrasound. It stopped shrinking because it had died. "

Why so many women are plagued with cellulite...

Improper lymphatic drainage is one of the main reasons that so many women are plagued with cellulite. The dimples that form on the thighs and buttocks are due to the accumulation of fats, proteins and other waste products that are not being excreted from the body efficiently. These unwanted products are usually carried out of the body by the lymphatic system. Dry skin brushing helps to kick-start the lymphatic system by stimulating the lymph canals, which helps detoxify the blood and reduces the toxic build up that causes cellulite.
