    When I worked in a restaurant about 50 years ago we used diatomaceous earth to filter the oil from the chicken broasting machine every night. It came in 50lb bags. I poured some in a paper filter and then ran the oil through it. the brown oil would come out as clear as new oil and with the cooked smell completely removed. Amazing stuff.

      When I worked for Bud, we used it to filter the beer. The filters were packed with a slurry and beer run through.

    Had a flea problem about 15 years ago and used food grade on my cats (as well as throughout the carpets in home) and within about a week we were free of the pests. No harsh chemicals. To this day, one a month, throughout the summer months, my pets get a sprinkle on the back of their necks and no flea issues at all EVER. Sprinkle on their food to remedy any worm issues. HOWEVER, thanks to this video, I will start to incorporate a morning dose of DE for myself and will advise my family of the potential benefits. We suffer from a genetic connective tissue disorder, (Ehlers Danlos) and perhaps this will help us. Thank you Dr Berg!

I am amazed with what it did for my skin and believe that if on a cellular level it helped my skin. it had to help veins and much more...

      **Safety First!
      If you choose to use DE in your dog or cat’s food, make sure to mix it in with wet food instead of just sprinkling it on top. You don’t want your pet to inhale the powder and irritate their respiratory system.
      Also, double-check to make sure it’s food-grade DE. You don’t want to feed your pet DE that is intended for yard and garden use. While it’s the same basic ingredient, it hasn’t been processed in the same way and might contain impurities that are unsafe for your pet to consume.
      Diatomaceous Earth for Internal Parasites
      While there isn’t much hard evidence out there, DE may be able to treat internal parasites. Those who use DE for deworming say that it can help eliminate several types of parasites. It can work for internal parasites in the same way that it kills fleas.
      The FDA approves DE as pest control in food products. It’s often added to stored grain, like corn, and is generally recognized as safe. The FDA requires the testing of food-grade DE to make sure it doesn’t contain dangerous elements like lead, arsenic, or fluorine. You can rest assured that DE is a safe additive to your pet’s diet.
      To use as a dewormer, simply add a small amount of food-grade DE to your dog’s diet. Approximately 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of DE should be given daily for a month-less for very small dogs and cats, more for very large dogs.

      the concentration (ideally it should be as pure as possible, preferably around 99% to ensure its safe for pets and for the family).
      don’t purchase any DE products that are marked for “pest control”. Why not? Well although these will probably kill fleas faster, they are usually not safe for your animals as they often contain other toxic elements such as flea insecticide.
      Externally after potential flea exposure:
      Just sprinkle it on your pet’s coat and thoroughly brush it through all their fur before a walk, hike, or other potential flea exposure. You’ll have to do this every time they go outside in a flea-ridden area and apply the DE before they come inside.
      Note: Be careful when applying it around your dog’s nose, eyes, and mouth. Make sure it’s not drying out or irritating your pup’s skin-if your dog already has dry skin, don’t use it externally too often.
      In your yard/garden:
      If you know there are fleas in your yard, sprinkling DE in the soil can kill the fleas and their larvae. Also kills ticks, earwigs, and other bugs! It’s non-toxic to your pets, so you won’t have to worry when they nibble on the grass or roll in the dirt.
      In your home, in case of an infestation:
      Apply it to bedding and carpeting, leave it for at least 3 days, then vacuum it up. It does take 3+ days to work, but it will kill the larvae and adult fleas, breaking the life cycle and making your home flea-free!

    After a year long battle against a bed bug invasion, diatomaceous earth sprinkled around the seams of mattress and box spring drove them completely out of my bed. Yes, they climb walls and find their way into the closet, but the clothes drier and a spray bottle of isopropyl alcohol finished them off. The day I realized bed butgs were completely eliminated from my home was a huge relief.

    I would like to add that although DE can be really good stuff for some, it isn't for everyone. Just like anything else.
    A down side to consuming DE is if you are a person with low iron issues, do not take it. It'll completely tank your iron and could potentially lead to infusions.
    Now on the other hand, if you are a person who has issues with high iron or hemochromatosis, it is recommended, as it will lower your iron, which in turn means less blood draws.
    Also, you can use it as a detox. So be careful not to consume too much because you can get herx symptoms.
    I mix some with either acv or water into a paste and use it as a mask. Once it dries, gently wash off. Your skin will be amazing, especially if you have oily skin.

    To get rid of bedbugs in an investment house I bought - I used food grade diatomaceous earth and also heat . You can apply the Diatomaceous Earth by sprinkling it everywhere . I covered everything with it. You can buy or make a little device to blow it into cracks. You want to avoid breathing that dust in just like you wouldn't want to breathe in Flour or anything else. I got it into the cracks in the floors and walls and also behind the electrical outlets. I left it there for weeks then vacuumed it up followed by a wipe down with damp rags or a mop. Heat also destroys bed bugs and I did that also. I used electric heaters and fans and wired the thermostat fully on . I had a laser thermometer and I had the entire room over 118 degrees Fahrenheit. I did this room to room . Of course you have to be careful with overloading your electric system and your heating system. Are you can rent or buy a generator if you don't have one . I just ran a heavy cord from a different room with a different circuit and combined it with an electric heater plugged into the room I was heating. I got the whole house hot but I did bring each room up to over 118 degrees Fahrenheit . I think you have to have the room heated everywhere to over 118 degrees for over 90 minutes to kill the eggs. This house had the damn things everywhere and I got rid of 100%. I know people that hired professionals and they failed at it after charging thousands of dollars just to heat one room. And I bought the house from a friendand I had to work around his furniture and belongings that he wanted to hoard /keep. It was a pain in the you-know-what but it worked.

    Just be careful not to put the powder anywhere near blooms or it will kill the beneficial pollinators.
    Also, it helps with the HUGE ant mound in my back yard. I have to reapply after it rains but I can use it knowing not only is it totally safe for the dogs, it's beneficial for them if they get it on their coat or eat it.

    Dr. Berg you Rock! I also wanted to chime in with some advice about using DME. The person below already commented; but, yes, FOOD GRADE only. A couple of other things; you should start out VERY slowly as to not get yourself up. You WILL HAVE to drink water with this. It is very moisture absorptive. Also, if you add a bit of lemon with this; it makes it seem like lemonade.... It isn't really gritty; which most people think it will be. You are thinking sand, not silica. Thanks D. Berg.

    I have been using DE in my homemade raw cat food for my cat since I start her on a raw diet. She has never had worms or fleas while being on it. I also use apple cider vinegar mother of earth in it.
    I will use DE when I get infections, because I struggle taking antibiotics. I don't use it daily because I want my body to respond to it when I need it the most.
    I once posted on a TikTok video of a doctor talking about metal toxicity that people could use DE to help with it and they said so DE could replace their job? Then another responded that DE it's bad and dangerous. It is if you breathe it in or it comes in contact with the eyes but I know only good benefits from using it.
    I only buy fresh water DE these days.

    I think my long hair that was long, thick, shiny and slippery got all dry from Apple Cider vinegar. I could not comb it. After I took DE for a long time, my hair got much better but never as good as before I ruined it with the vinegar. I susequently have ruined the hair follicles in the back, the lowest one inch, with pure apple vinegar that burnt the hair follicles, so it is thin there, short and frissy, kind of soft and it does not seem to grow there. Luckily the rest of my head was spared. Now I have listened to Dr. Berg hair videos and I dropped all shampoos and all balsams and started to wash my hair with marseille soap. I got some cheap one from Syria and I buy huge boxes of it and will grate it to see if I can use it as soap flakes for other uses too. My hair feels so much more comfortable now, it is kind of lighter and nicer to have just hanging in the back.
