Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 ## You mean you can ingest the stuff??? I thought it was topical...Anna ## Hi Anna, I have done a lot of research on diatomaceous earth, I use it on my dogs for parasites. Also I have taken it many times, it is good stuff. Here is a link that explains it well. Also info on the kind of DE one should not use which is for swimming pool filters. It has been heated and is actually dangerous to humans and animals. http://www.safe2use.com/safe-products/diatomaceous/diatomaceous_Earth.htm Good DE is marked Codex food grade. Here are the dosage requirements: Daily recommended food grade diatomaceous earth feeding rates: Kittens - 1/2 teaspoon Cats - 1 teaspoon Puppies - 1/2 to 1 tsp. Dogs under 35 lbs. - 1 teaspoon Dogs over 35 lbs. - 1 tablespoon Dogs over 100 lbs. - 2 tablespoons Cattle, Dairy Cows, & Hogs - 2% of dry feed ration Chickens - 5% in feed Goats & Sheep - 2% in grain Horses - 1/2 to 1 cup in daily ration * Humans - 1 heaping tablespoon daily ______ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
