> 24 hourThis should be everyones daily vitamin. It is excellent to drink with LOTS of water. Ive researched quite a bit about it - DE has helped so many people with so many health problems, aches and pains especially. I originally got it for my garden to rid it of water bugs, ants and spiders and it worked instantly and it comes with a spray bottle that puffs it into the air to spread it as a mist. You must wear a mask and protect your eyes. They are all gone. Instant results. It is made of the oldest life form on earth- ground into a flour like powder and it cuts their body and they dehydrate. This fine ground coral and shells also cleanse our system because it safely scrapes everything that has built up (which I believe cause all our health issues). For outdoor use- I also mix it with mint oil and water for mice. They are so resistant to every natural remedy. Then I started to read DEs health benifits and I started missing it with water and fresh lemon juice and I am on day six. It gives you energy and cleanses your entire system. Clears (heals)your skin, nails, and hair, fades aging spits and makes you look and feel younger. I no longer have back pain! This earth is a miracle ! It has saved people from surgeries and somehow activates our cells to heal. It is a negative ion that attracts all the junk built up in our bodies and actually cleanses your entire body. Rids parisites too. Do your own research and be amazed. I couldnt find anything bad about it except make sure you get food grade earth not pool grade! pool grade is made differently for the pool and of course would be deadly. To inhale it causes irritation and not good. So wear a mask for spraying but once ithe DE most clears and settles it is safe to come into contact with it or so I read. Its the cloud of powder that isnt good to breath but spooning it into your drink isnt causing dust so its safe. Wear gloves when taking from the bag. It will irritate your hands. Safe for kids and pregnant women- I read this numeral times in my research and even read it helped a boy with behavioral issues. He just started to behave all on his own. His mother was amazed and didnt do anything differently. While it is detoxing your body you may feel sick, like a day of feeling sick to your stomach. I felt this quite a few days and this means the earth is cleansing in a needed area. I also had a few headaches. But nothing serious and you can cut back on the dose but it passes and then you just feel GOOD again more and more energy each day. I read it helps with weight loss because it cleanses the intestines and the fat cells so its easier to burn the fat because. Its no longer stored. I feel trimmer and lost 5 pounds in 6 days. I also didnt eat much a few of those days- I stuck to soup and fiber filled foods. Drink plenty of water. Start with half a teaspoon the first three days and then a teaspoon for a week and then you can add a second teaspoon. Whatever your body doesnt need it just passes through your system so you cant od on it- ha. Take it in the morning on an empty stomach. It makes you feel full and mix it with 12 oz of water and drink a full glass of water after. Lots of water throughout the day. I add some DE to my shampoo for dandruff and add some to my Sappho bamboo charcoal soap when I wash my face. That soap is awesome. Amazing difference! It will also kill lice if you rub it dry into dry scalp. Bedbugs too. I took the time to write all this to inspire you to try this awesome life changing miricle. It will heal your body in so many ways you will want everyone you know and love to take it. I was not asked to write any of this and I bought it by chance and its a must. Its a wow. Its your answer to everything. I send you love and positive energy as well as this power to heal yourself.

> 24 hourI was excited to give this a whirl. Had read about D.E. for a while and decided to do it. This product is awesome. The duster that comes with it is quite large. Larger than I had envisioned, I suppose. Every spring I battle ants in my kitchen and bathroom directly above it. I dusted the cracks and where I knew they went and within 12 hours I noticed none, where I had 30 to 40 before. Did not last forever. After about a month I noticed a few scouts in both places today and will redust...perhaps monthly in summer. Good quality, nice duster, fast delivery.

> 24 hourI was at the end of the rope on what to do about our flea infestation. My cat is an indoor/outdoor cat is constantly coming into contact with neighboring cats - that coupled with the unusual heat weve had this summer - seems to have exacerbated our flea problem. Ive used the awful and toxic flea bombs - on several occasions, have used the expensive flea sprays, used a variety of medication on my cat, and have given my cat several baths - which if you knew my cat - you would know how dangerous that in itself is - because he hates water. After extensive research I came across this product, and what first grabbed my attention was the fact that the food grade is not toxic to humans or pets. I have a child in my home and was fearful of introducing anymore chemicals into the home; I also was fearful of putting more toxic chemicals on my cat. I treated my entire home with this stuff, along with my yard and the exterior of my home (window sills, entry ways). Now.....this stuff is really - really messy. I wasnt sure that I could handle white powder being everywhere but I was desperate to see if this product was effective at killing fleas - as it claimed to be. I sprinkled this product in the interior of my entire home, and didnt touch the product at all and let it sit overnight. (Around 17 hours) When I got up the next morning, I put a pair of white socks on so that I could see whether or not any fleas jumped on me. At first I was horrified as I literally had hundreds of fleas on my socks. I was discouraged as I first thought that this product was ineffective - not realizing the fleas were actually scrambling to stay alive. Prior to using this product - I had never seen that many fleas in my home. Seeing that many fleas made me realize just how effectice the product was as it drew the fleas out of the carpet as they were trying to get away from the product. I vacuumed up the product - vacuuming my entire home - and didnt see anymore fleas. Later that evening I vacuumed again - even the hardwood floors - and have only seen a total of two fleas. I understand that I need to vacuum - vacuum - vacuum. I still havent let my cat back inside as I have to treat him again. At present I mix this product with his cat food to help treat him from the inside - I also rubbed some of this product into his coat. This product has been extremely effective - Im embarrassed to admit that I dont usually write reviews - especially not this long. But because of how impressed I am with this product and how effective it really is, I wanted to share this information in the event it helps someone else.

> 24 hourWe had a major ant problem in and around our house and I sprayed this powder around the edges on the outside of the house and behind cabinets and along baseboards etc inside in order to help repel and kill the ants. We had such a large ghost ant population around here, that I had to use various efforts to discourage them from coming in the house. I used this and boric acid at the same time because I just wanted to make sure that something would work. I also sprayed all around the house and put ant stakes inside and outside. But I know this works, because there have been times that I used it with nothing else. The problem with all these anti-ant substances or methods is that what often happens is THE ANTS DIE IN TRANSIT. So I began to find dead ants here and there and everywhere. They often die before they get back to their nest, and in fact they die sometimes on their way into the house after crossing over the path of the boric acid or diatomaceous earth or poison. So Ive been finding dead ants here and there around my house for over a month now, and I keep hoping they will leave me alone, but they seem intent on wanting to live in and around my house even though I dont leave out food or anything. By the way I was told these are called ghost ants. They seem to be everywhere in the area of Central Florida I was living in. One warning is to be very careful not to breathe diatomaceous earth. It can actually cause damage to your lungs if you breathe too much of it. I see many people using it carelessly. Be careful! For example when you open the bag, the powder begins to sift into the air immediately which reaches your lungs, so I advise wearing a good mask such as an n95 when messing with this stuff. It is almost impossible to use it in any way without it getting into your air space. So you have to be careful. People seem to think because you can actually mix this with water and drink it if it is the right type, that it is not dangerous. No it is not dangerous to drink it in water, but it is dangerous to breathe it in its normal dry form. I also use this as a gnat killer by spraying it on top of the soil of my potted plants. This seems to be working well. Diatomaceous earth has many uses, so I recommend you read about it, but use it responsibly. I gave it only four stars, because the sprayer that they give you with it doesnt really work very well. At times it doesnt spray out at all and other times it sprays too much. It is very difficult to control the sprayer. Ive seen other sprayers of this type that work better.

> 24 hourI purchased these for use against Argentine ants. The included duster doesnt really dust so much as shoot a stream, so maybe purchase a separate duster if you just want a fine layer. If youre fine with just blasting diatomaceous earth everywhere, then youll be fine with the included duster. This stuff works well against ants. For Argentine ants in particular, use it dust around entry points. Itll cut up and dry out their exoskeletons to kill them, but ultimately it only acts as a deterrent. Ants will stop coming from where you dust and generally stay away from the dusted areas, but they will just find another entry point. This is a band-aid and not a solution. Diatomaceous earth should be used to corral the ants to places you dont mind them being, where you can deploy further baits and potentially pesticides to actually solve the problem. While useful, it should be used as a part of a more complete home infestation treatment. Sprinkle diatomaceous earth where you dont want ants, but keep it away from baits and pesticide treated places so the ants will properly find the means to eliminate themselves.

> 24 hourAdd just a little to the cat food. The worms are gone. Much more effective than de-wormers, and much cheaper.
