WHAT IS IT AND WHAT DOES IT DO?
Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a powder that is made from the fossilized remains of diatoms, which are a hard shelled type of algae. Microscopically, it resembles shards of glass and that structure makes it a foe of internal parasites, fleas, and bed bugs as it cuts the exoskeleton of the pest, then they dry up and go to sleep, permanently.
DE is a natural, chemical free choice to use in your home (and sprinkled on your furry family members) to kill pests. Some common products that contain diatomaceous earth comprise dusts, powders and pressurized liquids that are used on the outside of buildings, on farms, in gardens, and in human and pet foods.
DE is also noted for its strong negative charge, which means that it naturally attaches to and removes from the body things like: viruses, chemicals, bacteria, heavy metals, and even radiation. It can help cleanse your digestive tract and while it also contains high silica content, it can nourish your hair, skin, and nails.
Upon writing this article, I found several instances of DE being used by others for reducing blood pressure/cholesterol, hair growth and re-growth from loss, food intolerances, and toenail fungus.
It is suggested that adults take up to 1 tablespoon daily mixed in water or juice and children up to 1 teaspoon daily. Depending on weight, up to 1 teaspoon daily or as needed for your pets. Sprinkle liberally onto your pets’ coat and in sleeping areas to prevent fleas and ticks, reapply when the coat gets wet. Larger quantities can be mixed and sprayed in the outdoor seating areas of your yard or as a defensive line in the garden against slugs, snails, and other not so friendly insects. Just remember to do so sparingly, as some of the beneficial bugs may be harmed in the process!
Another word of caution, there are different grades of DE on the market, so make sure to only purchase products that are labeled as FOOD GRADE to keep you and your pets safe.
DISCLAIMER:
I am not a doctor, not do I pretend to be one on the internet. Please, before consuming any product, do your research! While DE has been regarded as safe for consumption by the FDA, it is not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any disease.

It is my hope that we can make the world a better place by opting for natural, chemical free alternatives for our families and pets.
Thank you!

EDEN
By Alissa Turensky Mack
I’ve seen such a place
That’s lovely and green
Expanses so vast
Cradling beauty obscene
Water so blue, so clear, and defined
Seemingly untouched by man and time
Flowers are nestled in the nooks
Of majestic trees
Creatures of all sizes, living as they please
The sparkling sky
And the whispering breeze
Foretell of times past
Of wonder and mystery
All in harmony, all of nature compliant
The fauna that lived there
Had no thought to be defiant
For why would one oppose
Living in an aura of love?
Knowing they were fondly placed
There from a hand up above
You might be thinking
Does this place really exist?
Where love and happiness surround
Us in a luminous mist?
You’re probably thinking I write
Of a mystical land
Beauty of that magnitude
Exuding from Spirit’s hand
I dare you, look up
From your technology
It’s been right before you
This whole time
You just couldn’t see.

“This media we call social is anything but, when we open our computers and it’s our doors we shut”… This is one of the most vital messages that everyone needs to hear.
Smartphone, social media, and the Internet in general has changed the way we experience the world. For many, it has replaced engagement with the real physical world almost entirely. And that’s bad. We’re really missing out.
Get out there and stop missing out on real life!
