One of my favorite very inexpensive finds to aid in detoxing is Diatomaceous earth.
Although it looks very simular to a clay it is not. It can however be used in many ways similar to green clay. Diatomaceous Earth is a natural occurring siliceous sedimentary mineral compound formed from microscopic skeletal remains of unicellular algae-like plants called diatoms. Diatoms are basic to the oceanic cycle, and the food for minute animal life, which in turn becomes the food for higher forms of marine life. As living plants, diatoms weave microscopic shells from the silica they extract from the water, as they die, deposits are formed and then fossilized in what are now dried lake and ocean beds. The material is then mined, ground and screened to various grades. It is used for countless uses in today’s products and processes, from toothpaste to cigars, plastics to paprika, filter media in swimming pools to home fish tanks, as well as insect and parasite control in animals and grains.
Diatomaceous earth can be used for both people and pets. Here are some other uses; Flea control, human health benefits, organic pest control, bed bugs, pet food health supplement, cat litter odor control and whiter teeth!
For detoxing dissolve, less than one teaspoon for every 100 pounds you weigh in a glass of pure water and take once a day. It can be taken for a period of months or years. Increase slowly until you reach two tablespoons per day.
For pets. I sprinkle a small amount over dry food. My Golden Retriever and my cat no longer need allergy medicine. My Golden is now 16 years old and I attribute it to the Diatomaceous earth I put on her food daily. As with people, for pets, it is great at keeping the gut in a healthy balance and reducing parasites and adding minerals to the diet.
Make sure you use only food grade Diatomaceous Earth.
