Good to know: Info about diatomaceous earth

I chuckle often when I visit conventional doctors and just recently our Vet. I utilize many natural and organic compounds and substances to treat and prevent problems and/or potential illnesses. Case in point, our dog, chickens and horse. We give all these animals a daily dose of diatomaceous earth to prevent worms and other intestinal parasites. Once in a while we use it too. This is such a simple remedy that the Vet looked at me as though I had grown two horns when I mentioned that this was what we use with the dog and do not wish to use chemicals with him.

You see, the problem is that diatomaceous earth is just too simple. Here’s how it works:
Diatomaceous Earth is odorless and nontoxic (however, when handling it the dust can be an irritant so we always wear a dust mask) and is composed of finely milled fossilized shells of minuscule organisms called diatoms. The microscopically fine, sharp edges desiccate the insects' exoskeletons upon contact, and the pests dehydrate and die within hours. The insects also die when they eat the dust. We use this to kill pests inside and outside our house as well as internally. It’s truly amazing. For more information about this you can visit arbico-organics.com.
