Product Description
Natures Wisdom Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is totally organic and safe. It contains less than 1% percent of crystalline silica. Some uses include: household pets, gardens, flower beds, field crops, grain storage, and livestock feeding. Diatomaceous Earth is Mother Nature's product with no harm to the environment, pets or to people. Diatomaceous Earth is not an earth, it is the fossilized remains of microscopic shells created by one celled plants called DIATOMS. DE kills by physical action, not chemical, by puncturing the insects exoskeleton and absorbing its body fluids, thus posing no harm to warm-blooded life. Moreover, on any surface, these natural pesticide products have a remarkable repellency factor. As long as it is present, insects tend to stay away, making a serious infestation unlikely. Also, the more it is used, the more an environment is created that tends to make insects feel unwelcome. Out of 600 deposits in the US only 4 are considered "food grade" by the FDA standards.

This stuff Rocks! - I had previously ordered some D.E. from another company (Wolf Creek Ranch) when I became very ill with parasites. No complaints, the stuff worked very well - In fact a little creepy well. This first time I took it, I felt a spastic squirming in my body I had never felt before along with a heavy pressure bearing down (like being in hard labor) like the parasites wanted OOOUUTT. It was horrifying to say the least - I then even found a hole/exit wound in my skin (where I had previously felt the squirming) the next day from some of them doing just that! Disgusting. (Having Parasites is 50% head game, I swear).
- It's GOOD to FOLLOW ADVISE about the D.E. when dealing with parasites; which is as follows - "WORK UP TO a Tablespoon a day & THEN a Tablespoon 2xs per day. You can do 3xs per day or more if you feel a need, but you be the gauge. I didn't listen and took about 1 1/2 Tablespoons the very first go round. I'm extremely lucky I didn't receive damage internally from the burrowing of the parasites. Don't do what I did - No need to shock 'em into chaos. Just quietly kill them before they know what hit 'em. - Again.... Following directions is a Good Thing :).
Here's some of the benefits I've personally received from consuming D.E.:
1) Parasites - It worked incredibly well (no other weird experiences with the D.E. after that first dose by the way - I DON'T WANT TO DETER ANYONE FROM USING IT - It was a key component to my ridding of those lil' buggers and getting well). I also took "ParaPure" herbal tincture and some occasional "Bloodroot" in-between rest times for the "ParaPure". These herbal items were not added until after being on the D.E. for about 2 weeks, so I KNOW the D.E. works well on it's own merit.
2) Intestinal Detoxification - It keeps me cleaned out and functioning well :) NOTE: I've read others say it constipates them. I've only experienced this a few times and it was because I was not drinking enough liquid to wash it thru'.
3) My skin is Incredible! - I've had a sort of Melasma looking problem on my face and chest for years, and the D.E. for some reason has really been evening out my tone. Also the texture and moisture of my skin has literally never been this awesome. Even facial lines have softened too. (I've been taking D.E. for about 5+ months now).
4) Energy (& ADHD medicine replacer?) :) - I had no qualms with the other brand I was using, but this Nature's Wisdom brand is So Much Better. It is a finer/lighter powder and actually mixes into things better for some reason. I still take D.E. everyday mixed in with my Spiced Rooibos Chai Tea & was use to having to swirl it around every time I went to take a drink; because it would settle at the bottom of my thermos. But, this stuff doesn't clump at the bottom like the other would. Sometimes it use to even leave a hardened layer at the bottom of my cup, but not this brand!! :)))
For a moment, I thought, "Okay, but maybe because the powder seems finer it's just lighter in weight per Tablespoon and I'm not putting in as much (per weight) as I was before".... BUT.... This brings me to the "Energy" benefit of why this brand is so much better
- I feel it is absorbing into my system better. I can tell this because of the massive amount of energy I get after drinking it. I had read numerous times of others saying they couldn't sleep after consuming D.E., so Not to take it at night. I personally had a small bit of "alertness" previously with the other brand but nothing too severe. With this stuff however *Sheesh!* I will have to learn NOT to take it at night. For instance, I just received my Nature's Wisdom D.E. yesterday, so I had some last night. I felt like I could clean my whole house in one incredible, speedy, & motivated sweep!.... at 1:00 am!... and I hate cleaning. Stupid me couldn't sleep, so unaware of "why" I was buzzing, I got up out of bed & out of habit had another cup of tea with the D.E.! - and then couldn't understand why I soon after had the shakes like I had O.D.'d on my ADHD meds or something - Then it hit me.... It was the D.E.! I tested it out this morning, just to make sure, by having a Tablespoon of D.E. in my tea again (and I was tired from not sleeping well last night *lol*), and I quickly was "perked". I think I will test it out this next week even further to see if I can replace some days with D.E. instead of my ADHD meds, and see if it does the job(?). Wouldn't that be something?! I'll report back with my experience :)
5) Flea/Parasite Deterrent and Remedy for pets! - I already mentioned it helped immensely with my own human parasite issue (I'd been to Africa btw), but I give D.E. to my dog everyday in his food (this is recommended & stated as safe by numerous vets and animal care organizations). Let's say, I'm giving my pooch just regular dry dog food today, I just sprinkle a heaping Tablespoon of D.E. into the dish and splash a little water in and swirl it around to mix it (He's a medium sized dog - pit mix). The dog food stays dry and crunchy and the dog eats it up :). In the past he had a problem with worms, but when I started him on the D.E., it got rid of them :). Also my dog has not a single flea or tick on him.... and no other flea/tick treatment is used.
6) Bug/Insect Deterrent and Remedy for the Home/Property - You can sprinkle this stuff around trouble areas or mix it with some water in a sprayer. Insects HATE IT (especially cockroaches for some reason), because it is microscopically sharp and it cuts them up. Leaving them injured, killed and/or dehydrated (leading to eminent death). Oddly, I've noticed slugs are attracted to it, but then my slug populous has almost gone away. It could be for the same reason that ants and some parasites are drawn to it. They like to eat it... but then it cuts them up :)
CAUTION: While D.E. (FOOD GRADE ONLY - NOT THE STUFF USED IN POOL SYSTEMS) is very safe for human/pet consumption, you DO NOT want to INHALE it! I've accidentally done so, when covering the dog's bed with it, and the warnings are correct... It left my lungs hurting badly and a bit asthmatic. It can cause your lungs some serious and permanent damage if you are not careful - So WEAR A MASK if dusting it anywhere.
- After purchase, I immediately transfer my bag(s) of D.E. to plastic containers with screw on lids (recycled nut containers from Costco work great). This leaves the likelihood of any D.E. flying in the air to a minimum. Opening and closing bags can have the powdery stuff floating in the air and you don't want that.
- It's GOOD to FOLLOW ADVISE about the D.E. when dealing with parasites; which is as follows - "WORK UP TO a Tablespoon a day & THEN a Tablespoon 2xs per day. You can do 3xs per day or more if you feel a need, but you be the gauge. I didn't listen and took about 1 1/2 Tablespoons the very first go round.

We moved into our house in June 2009. We were unaware that we were bringing 7 cats into a house where there were apparently some fleas. To say the least, things got ugly. We also got a yearly swarm of flying ants indoors.
It seemed like we tried everything we could think of. Frontline, Advantage, Baths, vacuuming, exterminator, sealing up all gaps, etc but the bugs persisted. When we'd get home from work, we'd spray our ankles with repellent. It was that bad but we kept on fighting but when we'd get relief fleas would be back within a few weeks.
So I tried this stuff. We have a five month old infant at home so I had to factor that into treatment. And I will say that yes, it did take a little while to see the results, but I haven't been bitten in a few weeks so I'm going to say this stuff really does the trick for fleas. The first coating was really thick in the carpets, under beds. I treated the whole house and maybe used a pound or so in the process (using the pest pistol) and I also did a few laps around the house on the outside as a preventative measure. Still got bit for a few days but noticed it got better with time.
I let the first treatment sit for a week in the carpet, brooming occasionally. Vacuumed it up and sprayed it directly onto the cats. Then gave a few days and brushed the cats -- and they had a bunch of dead fleas fall off of them. But of course, the yearly flying ant swarm came back right as the flea problem was going away.
Noticing both the fleas and the ants were attracted to light I traced the ants to the fireplace (the nest was actually in the ash pit, I would later find). I sprayed a ton of this stuff into the fireplace and onto the walls. I then took a portable flourescent light and left it lit 24/7 to see what would happen. Within a few days the fireplace was a graveyard for both fleas and flying ants (not termites.) the flea eggs that were left would hatch and be drawn to the light and then the flea would land in the DE and rot. The flying ants same thing.
After a week of watching the bugs continually die I decided I need to find the origin of the flying ants (flying ant swarms indoors are a sign of infestation.) I found the ants in the ash pit to the fireplace. I treated the ash pit thoroughly and then the ants stopped making it upstairs. I have only seen one bug since then, which was covered in DE and miserable with pain. One of the cats had a fun time playing with it.
The stuff works but you have to be persistent.
After spending hundreds of dollars on exterminator and frontline, my problems were solved with some DE and some creativity. I've still got the light on in the fireplace, but there are no bugs showing up anymore. I'll probably turn it off tomorrow and see what happens.
This is probably one of my favorite substances on earth now.

As a personal detox agent this stuff is pretty amazing. I'm up to 3 heaping teaspoons
a day now and I feel like a million bucks. I have suffered from insomnia all my life, but now
when its time to go to bed I drink a glass of DE juice, and I sleep like a baby, even dreaming
in technicolor. My skin is smoother and more supple, my hair which has always been fairly thin
feels like wire and is growing like crazy! But what this stuff really does spectacularly is to
scrub your system clean, and I think that is the biggest benefit to the noticeable sense of well
being and energy I've had.
BTW, got bleeding gums.... put some of this on your toothpaste and brush away. It has no taste and
its likely you may already be using a product that contains DE, but the toothpaste companies call
it Hydrated Silica, its the same stuff. Have noticed a big difference in my nails too, hard and
shiny, and I never notice my nails. I also have a blood pressure problem and when I get it checked
in two weeks I'll update this info.
Mixes well with all the berry and tomato juices. A word of caution however, when you get started
make sure you begin with no more than a teaspoon and work up over a week to two weeks to a couple
of tablespoons a day in 2/3 servings. If you don't observe this routine, you will no doubt suffer
from what is called a "healing crisis" as I did and you will wish someone would put a bullet in
you. Headaches and a general feeling of discomfort that only time (1/2 day) can cure. DE absorbs
about 3-4x its volume in water so be prepared to drink lots of fluids with this stuff, I don't think
beer counts.
One more thing, about 5 years ago I developed a spot on my cheek that would peel and flake
no matter what I did. The Dermatologist said I had nerve damage that was causing this perpetual
condition. Well, after two weeks on DE that spot is as smooth as a baby's butt, and not a sign of
any flaking. I'm astounded.
5 Stars for this Perma-Guard DE (look them up, this stuff has no peers when it comes to food grade
DE), and to the seller Earthworks. Thanks. A word of caution however, this stuff really does not
make a very effective pesticide, I have read where you have to leave it down for 30+ days. Well thats
OK if its outside, but for indoor use you need to know that breathing this DE WILL effect your health,
I don't care what anybody says, if you put this down on your floors in quantities needed to be effective,
very soon you will start feeling like crap, and your ventilation system will transport what you put
down, make it all airborne, and soon cover everything in your house. The DE companies say breathing
this stuff has no effect, that is an outright lie. Want to sprinkle this on your plants, no problem.
Want to douse your carpets with this.... major problem.
Afternote: I placed my order through Earthworks, they were great, but it seems there are some legitimate
concerns over packaging and shipping with this new supplier AG something. Suppliers are constantly changing
on Amazon, so if you leave a negative review centered on a seller, please name them fer crying out loud OK?
