Over time calcium deposits around the body inappropriately. We don't always notice it until it's built up enough to trigger arthritis, etc. Silica is apparently part of the nutrients that are necessary to ‘orchestrate' calcium into the bones & teeth, etc, so it may be that the silica in the DE is pulling the inappropriate calcium deposits out of the joint tissue for transfer into the bones or anywhere else it's needed, which may trigger temporary pain.

Let me give you an example. Although I don't have fibro I suffer from body pain immensely without DE and Boron. Not sure what so have as I do not trust Dr's and haven't been to. Dr's in over 20 years. Nonetheless, I have to take at least 8-10 tablespoons of DE and waited for a few weeks and my pain was almost gone, about 90% of it. Then when I added boron and reaching to about 1 teaspoon daily the rest of my body pain was gone in literally a couple of days. After 8 months I noticed my hair was growing something I have been suffering from for r over 10 years, I almost went bald as a female 😞 but thank the Lord for DE my hair is now back to about 95% when I added boron my head started to itch the feeling of needles poking my head which is hair growing all at one time. I still have inflammation problems and know it will go away within time.
Everyone is different and requires large dosage to even start to address deficiencies in their bodies.
Now I know you have fibro and need to take a much larger dosage to even begin to feel a relief. You haven't given DE enough time and or taking enough of it to address you body issues. So you give up 😞 I would rethink what you are doing and try again only this time keep on upping your DE dosage until you start to feel a relief. I would highly recommend adding Boron at least 2 full teaspoon of the powder not the watered down liquid crap, that won't touch you at all. Don't give up and trust that DE along with Boron will help you in a big way and will eventually heal you. Boron (the 20 mule team) brand only.
Parasites
★★★★★
When I take DE, I start to cough, but it's not a die-off cough, it's the same cough I get when I have what I call a "hatch-out" of new strongyloides about every ten days that migrate to my lungs. This is a cough straight out of the lungs, not from dry throat or sinus drainage.
I'm not breathing in the dust. I am very careful about that. I wear a mask when I'm handling it, and I put my dosage into a spoon, put the spoon into the water, and let it become completely saturated before I stir it, still wearing the mask. I drink the cup of water with the DE, then immediately follow up with another cup of water, which I also use to swish around my mouth and wash any residue left there into my stomach. There may be a tiny bit that is inhaled in this process, but not enough to cause the cough.
I think this new cough is caused by strongyloides dying and depositing their eggs, which hatch out in massive numbers and migrate to the lungs. The more DE I take, the worse my cough gets. It's a vicious cycle. Kill them in the digestive system (I'm hyperinfected), and they multiply and just get worse. Then you kill those and the cycle starts all over again. I keep thinking that if I just keep taking the DE every day, killing the adults and juveniles, it will eventually help, but I wonder if I'm just fooling myself.
So this is my experience. Hope it helps someone.
The test may be to see if it stops over the course of a few days. Maybe taking less DE for a while would help. Can't be sure on any of this, but just thinking outside the box......

(1) It will give you serious constipation if you don't consume an equal ratio of soluble fiber and drink lots of water with it.
(2) It will definitely scare the worms right out of your gut and into your other organs. Claims of one pooping tons of shredded worms are false. You probably won't see anything pass out of your bowels. It will simply eliminate the sensation of the worms slithering around in your colon because the worms will evacuate to other parts of your body.
(3) It's best to use this in conjunction with a proper diet ...vegan or vegetarian is best...and a diet free of sugar and lard.
(4) This will not cure anyone of parasites but it will manage the condition in your gut (only).
(5) A good holistic approach to managing round worm infection would be to ingest:
-Drink teas containing distilled water and avoid tap water altogether
-Drink original Green Tea daily
- Drink raw garlic tea daily....let a few pieces of raw garlic steep in hot water for about 15 minutes then drink it
-ingest Odorless Aged Garlic tablets daily
-ingest Black Walnut and Wormwood tincture daily
-Eat lots of green leafy raw vegetables (that have been properly washed!)
-ingest Goldenseal tea periodically
-ingest Fenugreek tea periodically
-Eat lots of plain yogurt daily
-DO NOT consume ANYTHING which contains sugar or sugar bi-products...This would include High Fructose items (Worms ADORE sugar and so does cancer)
-Step up your personal hygiene and make sure that you are not reinfecting yourself.... If you infect a housemate, your problem is compounded and they may or may not seek treatment too and your recovery will take that much longer
-Continue to educate yourself about legitimate treatments out there and follow them if you feel it will benefit you
Foremost and above all, please seek help from a physician. If you think your physician is an idiot, seek out the opinion of other physicians... Just don't stop trying to get your health needs met simply because some ass tells you that he or she cannot find anything wrong with you.
Good Luck!
I've been drinking only distilled water since 1976. I do not drink tap water which is full of antibiotics, fluoride, chemicals, hormones, lead, bacteria, viruses and other goodies. Forty of the major spring water companies now add fluoride to their products.My health is superb. I take no pharmaceuticals, lots of nutriceuticals, and trace minerals. My mineral levels are fine, and I look (based on comments from others), 20 years younger than my chronological age. Since humans are 75% water, water is the most important thing we consume. I do eat intelligently, and I am a happy person, both of which I believe add to general good health.
One US naturopathic doctor says that no one who drinks distilled for more than 20 years will live to tell about it. Well, if you do the math, you can see that this is absolutely incorrect.
I will be buying a Berkey water filter and using that since I believe that level of filteration produces absolutely clean water. But until then, I will continue drinking a gallon or more of distilled water a day and recommend that others do the same.

If it is a detox reaction consuming plenty of water and Epsom Salt baths may help you get past this.
More isn't always better---sometimes just a small amount of a remedy over a longer period of time is best in the long run.

Mites

Her coat was sparse semi long and neither grey nor brown, age unknown. Recently my interest in DE was aroused once again and hear what transpired.
I found she had mites badly so I applied Ted's mite treatment twice and with success. But winter approaching I lightly dusted her coat with DE. In a few weeks I noticed not only there were no more mites, but her coat was full and thick. Actually, it did not take that long. All my pets had been given DE mixed in their wet food for about two months and their coats look healthy and shining.
Next is me. Their testimony says it all. I will use it internally and externally for sure. Make sure it is food grade. I bought DE at an agricultural feed store. It is also online.
The testimonies on this item are awe inspiring. I am well pleased.

Avoid Inhaling DE

I mix it in water and drink it. Ive had a friend cure stomach cancer by drinking it.
Ben, How in its dry form is it toxic? But in wet form isnt?
Its exoskeletons of diatoms that lived million of years ago which sustained life....for millions of years. It was once present in the soil, but now is depleated. God has a design that included Diatomaceous Earth.
I believe you are talking about the heated and chemically treated for swimming pool, D.E.
NOT the food grade. Why call it FOOD if harmful?
Also, the body will rid the excess through the urinary tract. And anything breathed in thats not oxygen, can irritate the lungs.
There are only 4 deposit sites that they take Food Grade DE from. So that shows something.
It is drying so try not to get in eyes or inhale it.
But it isnt toxic. It is 89 % silica with 14 trace minerals we need.

My husband became deathly ill after eating a fast food hamburger. The next day he was still so sick and lethargic I called the EMT's. He was admitted to the hospital, and ended up having pneumonia. He seemed much better after 5 day stay. However, he was having diarrhea more and more. He could see he had parasites in his stools. He was losing weight, and fast. Spoke to his cancer doctor (he was 3 years in remission) and told them. They sent him to the infectious disease Dr.s at this elite teaching hospital. The very first thing the intern asked was, "Have you left the country". No. But I have parasites. The main doctor came in and treated us like some low life lunatics. Finally he handed him a "poop kit" and told him to bring the sample back. Went home, didn't refrigerate it, and took it back next day after sitting all day. Came back negative. So we went to the clinic in our small town. Surely they had seen parasitic infections through the years, and my husband was losing weight rapidly, and the diarrhea was happening at anytime and (sorry), explosive. He had to wear 2 depends for safety. He was so embarrassed and was feeling so weak. The small town doctor (PA, who consulted with doctor and they all laughed in hallway at us. They gave him the poop kit, and brought it directly back. The next day it hadn't even gone to the lab. Didn't matter, it came back negative. He had every symptom of parasites. He was dying right in front of me. We returned to his cancer doctor for a checkup and he was concerned, but also a spot on his lung appeared within a month! He again referred him to specialist but when they saw it was us, said that he tested negative already, and dismissed us. That very night, his bloodwork from his doctors appointment had come back as usual except the hospital called at 7:30pm and said his RED BLOOD CELL COUNT WAS DANGEROUSLY LOW AND HE MUST BE AT HOSPITAL AT 5:00AM FOR BLOOD TRANSFUSION! No one had an explanation but ME! I had spent 100's of hours reading, researching, anything to help him. After the transfusion he felt better, but was still losing weight and still the diarrhea. I had called his sister and she mentioned an old boy out at the farm once took dog dewormer to rid of parasites, and we both agreed that is too risky. But didn't dogs have a more natural way to get rid of worms? I took a look. Finally on the 5 page of the search on google, a ranch wife was talking about putting Diatamaceous Earth Food Grade in their 4 Golden Retrievers food every day, with 5-10 day break every 2 weeks. Said, NO WORMS, REGULAR BOWEL MOVEMENTS, SHINY HEALTHY COAT, WHITER STRONGER TEETH, MORE ENERGY AND HAPPY HEALTHY DOGS IN EVERY ASPECT. I was intrigued, but could I give it to my husband? At the very end of the article, the lady stated, "AND IT'S SAFE FOR YOU TO HAVE SOME TOO! " I looked it up and ordered the fastest way to get here, and that was 2 days. It was very reasonable as well. At the time, it was a 10 lb bag for $15.00 and s&h were free on first order. I started out small like they said, but didn't have much time. He had lost almost 50 lbs in 2.5 months. He was never overweight so he looked like he had anorexia, and he couldn't even play his guitar or model railroad (he was a professional musician, singer, songwriter, still actively playing up until he got this sick). We put it in our coffee, I put in 1.5 tsp first 2 days, then after reading it could be up to 1.5 Tblsp. I upped his to 1 Tblsp. He didn't like it at all, gritty, and he loved his a.m. coffee. SO, I made a cup for him plain to enjoy, the put it the DE in the 2nd cup. I also found out that in Cola (sugar free at the time because parasites love sugar), the DE was much less gritty tasting. After a week, the diarrhea started to let up. His bowel movements improved and after 2 weeks he was eating and having normal poop! Also, His color changed from the white anemic look (he was on prescription iron pills after blood loss as he was anemic), but he began getting the healthy color and glow back in his face and his eyes lost the dullness and started to shine again. After 3 weeks He was feeling so much better and no sign of parasites in poop. He wanted to stop, and I told him NO WAY. You are not risking any of those things still in there hatching, or any risk at all. As far as I was concerned, He and I both should take the DE the rest of our lives. He didn't like the taste, but he continued with it for 4 months, taking 4 days off every 2 weeks only after the first full 2 months were complete. Every single day after starting the DE he got better. It was a miracle. It truly was. Some people were doubting he really ever had parasites, because of the "negative" tests. But I found out that when the poop samples are examined, it is by a robitic arm, that swipes it onto a slide (a person doesn't even view it in most places) and then a COMPUTER, compares it to similar pictures. If he had a new type of parasite or one that wasn't in the computer, or the smeared slide was blurred and computer couldn't match it, it would come back NEGATIVE.
So, DE saved his life, and gave me (us) a bunch of other great things. My hair grew fast, and was thick and healthy. My never grow long nails were strong, my achy joints are flowing great, hardly a pain. My skin looks better. It has been almost 5 years ago, but I have sworn and testified to anyone who would listen about the miracle. One more thing, I almost forgot. When he went back to cancer doctor, 2 months after his last appointment where they saw the spot on his lung, it was gone. I believe, and even his top in the world cancer Dr.had to agree, that it was very possible the spot could have been parasites. My husband was cancer free for almost 4 years, healthy and enjoying life. Sadly, he was killed in a horrible accident. But, I want to let you all know how grateful I and so was he, that we found, Diatamaceous Earth Food Grade! 5

I can't tell yet about my hair and nails growing more quickly like so many other people, but two benefits I can report right off the bat:
1. Deeper sleep
2. Fewer trips to the bathroom... from 2-3 typically down to 0-1. That's an improvement!
Side Effects
It definitely dries out my skin so I take omega three oil. Still need to work on drinking more water.
The other side effect is that my finger joints feel just a bit stiff. If I stop the DE, that stiffness goes away. Interesting. I am not sure why since DE is supposed to help with joints due to its silica content, right? Any thoughts on that? Thanks.

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
I started DE about 3 weeks ago. The first 2 weeks I felt fine, no side-effects, no apparent die-off, felt actually a bit better in ways. But into the 3rd week, I started becoming Dehydrated, constipated, gut aches, etc... I took one day off, drank a ton of water, started up again, two days later my bowels are doing fine, but now I have major gut tightness, not really bloated as much as just feeling VERY tight. After this afternoon's dose I felt ill/maliase, etc...
Can it take a couple of weeks to start having die-off symptoms? I've been doing other detox treatments, and probably don't have as much heavy metals and toxic to clean out as some people do which is why maybe I didn't have an initial reaction, but I do have a parasite, and possibly SIBO which I'm hoping DE will take care of.
I usually take 1tsp 2x per day. Cheers.
Dermatitis
★★★★☆
My skin would errupt in red spots that would itch almost nonstop, bleed, scab over, spread a bit and continue this pattern. The cycle would usually end with another trip to yet another dermatologist for stronger and stronger steroid medications (usually topical creams, but too often oral meds also).
Eventually the rash would turn from red to brown and begin to dry up leaving a very dark brown large area of discoloration. This would take months to clear up with the help of retin-a creams.
After searching Earth Clinic's site for more natural cures, I found several entries noting 100% pure diatomaceousearth to cure fungal infections. I had about 2.5 pound of this stuff on hand and decided to try it. Well, the reviews suggested ingesting it. I'd done that in the past when dealing with other issues. This time I was trying Borax and baking soda as suggested by Ted and didn't want to mix it up too much.
So, I tried applying the de topically, straight from the bag. It's a fine powder just like talc. It immediately soothed the itch, and after a few hours the redness had decres by 50%.
The eczema rash on my face has dissappeared!! My facial acne is history. The eczema is still on my neck but it is undercontrol and when I am diligent and apply it several times daily, it will go away. The dark blotches remain, and this is where I got into trouble last week, I began applying the retin-a much too soon and irritated my skin and the redness itch and rash returned. I'm back on the mend using the earth and will wait about one month after healed again before using the retin-a.
I hope this helps.
