~ Facts, Information And Feeding Rates ~

Perma-Guard Pure Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth (DE, also known as diatomite and fossil shell flour) has many uses and excellent health benefits for animals, humans and plants. The DE information below will tell you:

Some of the differences in grades of DE.
What food grade DE is and where it comes from.
Why it is important to use ONLY food grade DE.
Information on the many health benefits of food grade DE for livestock, people, pets and plants.
How to use food grade DE to increase the health of your lifestock, people, pets and plants.
How to use food grade DE for naturally effective parasite control.

DE is the remains of microscopic single celled plants (phytoplankton) called diatoms that lived in the oceans and lakes that once covered the western part of the US and other parts of the world. These deposits are mined from underwater beds or from ancient dried lake bottoms thousands of years old. This means, DE has an unlimited shelf life provided you keep it dry.

DE is mined, milled and processed into a myriad of types for a large variety of uses. Filtering and filler are two main uses but DE also ends up in chemical insecticides, cosmetics, drugs, paints, etc. Because the milling produces different sized and shaped particles, it is important not to use the filtering type for agricultural purposes.

Pool filter grade DE has been heat and chemically treated and will poison an animal or human who ingests it, so it is always of utmost importance to only obtain food grade DE to use in and around your household.

Diatoms are the grass of the oceans and lakes. Just as grass is the staple food of earth animals. Diatoms (algae) are the food of the ocean or fresh water grazers. Magnified 7000x, DE looks like spiney honeycombs.

Perma-Guard Pure Food Grade DE is EPA approved to be mixed with grains to control mealworms and other pests and has been exempted from tolerance requirements as an inert, inactive ingredient in chemical pesticides. DE is EPA approved against indoor and outdoor crawling insects. DE is USDA approved as an anti-caking agent for animal feed. DE is FDA approved for internal and external use and has a rating of Food Chemical Codex Grade.

The DE is organic OMRI listed Codex Food Chemical Grade. It is a non-treated, non-calcined fresh water DE. It is mined, crushed, sifted, bagged and pure white in color. It contains less than .5% silicon. There are food grade DE products that are yellow or tan in color which indicates a higher iron content. Those which are gray in color contain more clay.

Internal Parasite Control
DE makes a very effective natural insecticide. The insecticidal quality of DE is due to the razor sharp edges of the diatom remains. When DE comes in contact with the insects, the sharp edges lacerate the bugs waxy exoskeleton and then the powdery DE absorbs the body fluids causing death from dehydration.

DE has been used for at least two decades as a natural wormer for livestock. Some believe DE scratches and dehydrates parasites. Some scientists believe that DE is a de-ionizer or de-energizer of worms or parasites. Regardless, people report definite control. To be most effective, DE must be fed long enough to catch all newly hatching eggs or cycling of the worms through the lungs and back to the stomach. A minimum of 60 days is suggested by many, 90 days is advised for lung worms.

DE works in a purely physical/mechanical manner, not "chemical" and thus has no chemical toxicity. Best yet, parasites don’t build up a tolerance/immunity to its chemical reaction, so rotation of wormers is unnecessary.

People often ask why Perma-Guard Pure Food Grade DE is rated Food Chemical Codex Grade. If it was only labeled as "food" grade, people would think it is only useful as a food supplement and since DE "acts" like a chemical by dehydrating insects, it was labeled "chemical" grade since it acts like a chemical, but it is NOT a true chemical like a pesticide or insecticide. It is perfectly safe for oral consumption.

*Clinical Observations Of Feeding Perma-Guard Pure Food Grade DE To Dogs, O.C. Collins, DVM, Midland Animal Clinic And Hospital, Midland, Texas
“In clinical observations of feeding dogs over 35 lb 1 tablespoon/day and under 35 lb 1 teaspoon/day of DE, within seven days all ova disappeared from stools. DE controlled ascardis (Toxacara canids), hookworms (Anclyostoma caninum) and whipworms (Trichuris vulipis).”

*Results On Feeding Perma-Guard Pure Food Grade DE To Walking Horse, L. Thomas, Trainer, L. Frank Roper Stables, Winter Garden, Florida
“With horses fed approximately 5 oz of DE mixed in the feed twice daily, the following results were observed: Stopped scours even on horses that had not responded to any other medications. Noticeable fly reduction. Horses showed an increase in appetites. Weight gain due to better feed conversion. Reduction in manure odor. Elimination of any internal parasites. Healthier appearance.

Daily Recommended DE Feeding Rates
Kittens (below 1 year's old) - 1/2 teaspoon
Cats - 1 teaspoon
Puppies - 1/2 to 1 teaspoon
Dogs under 35 lb - 1 teaspoon
Dogs over 35 lb - 1 tablespoon
Dogs over 100 lb - 2 tablespoons
Cattle, Dairy Cows and Hogs - 2% of dry feed ration
Chickens - 5% in feed
Goats, Sheep, Alpacas and Llamas - 2% in grain
Horses - 1/2 to 1 cup in daily ration
Zoo animals - 2% in daily feed
*Humans - 1 heaping tablespoon daily

Internal feeding of DE helps eliminate most internal worms, including roundworms, pin worms, tapeworms, etc. It's also excellent when fed daily to keep down fly loads, since DE is eliminated from the body, exactly the way it went in, it helps reduce the manure odor and kills flies that come in contact with it.

Mix in animal feed or grain and/or feed free choice. Our dogs, goats and fowl eat it free choice.

*Some recommend to dose humans by mixing DE in a glass of water before bed or first thing in the morning, well before breakfast, to allow DE time to move through and absorb toxins from ones digestive tract without interfering or absorbing nutrients from foods or liquids. Some report great results consuming 1 teaspoon in a glass of water prior to each meal, 3x/day.

If fecal counts are not zero for worms and ova after feeding DE for 30 days, increase the daily dose. Feeding too small a dose of DE will not give desired results. Increasing the dose, even if greater than the manufacturers recommendations, will not harm anyone. Some horses do fine on 1/2 cup of DE daily, others need a full cup. This reminds us, that all beings are different. So again, if the worm and ova counts are not zero, increase your daily dose.

Please NOTE, when you know you are dealing with a worm infestation or tapeworms in particular, it is the opinion of Wolf Creek Ranch that it is best to at least double the recommended dosage as suggested above by the manufacturer. Remember, the DE MUST come in contact with the worms in order to "dehydrate" them and since worms can kill us or our pets and at the very least, cause disease, more is better to prevent having to deal with disease or death.

IS DE Safe To Use During Pregnancy?
Definitely! When DE is fed in adequate daily amounts, it eliminates all intestinal worms and parasites. This helps the animal or human better absorb the nutrients from the food they eat, which in turn benefits the being, but also greatly benefits the unborn animals or infant by passing on these nutrients to them helping to make them stronger and healthier as well.

For human use, it is best to start at a small dose - 1/2 teaspoon for the first few days while making sure to drink plenty of clean fresh pure water (not city tap water) and slowly increasing the dose as your body tells you it is okay to do so and to make sure you don't have a heavy detox.

Home Applications
If you are building a new barn, home or other structure that is the perfect time to use DE and apply it on the inside of the walls, before installing insulation, in the attic, etc. to prevent pesky bugs now and in the future. DE helps provide a nice safe home environment that doesn't have ants - carpenter ants, red ants, black ants, bedbugs, centipedes, cockroaches, earwigs, fleas, flies, mites, silverfish, ticks and all other bugs and insects.

DE can be applied along baseboards, inside cabinets and drawers, inside wall outlets, lightly in carpeting , under appliances and anywhere you are having an insect problem. Test lightly in an area of your home that you want to apply it to make sure you and your family don't have a reaction to it, then apply or reapply as needed. Bugs lay larvae or eggs, so DE must be left out long enough for the hatchlings to come in contact with it. You can vacuum the treated areas once/week (make sure some DE is in the vacuum bag to dehydrate any live insects you vacuum up), then reapply if needed. Since most insects have a laying cycle of 7 to 21 days, we recommend treating inside the home for at least 30 days for best effectiveness.

If the insect problem is coming from outside the home and the insects are now residing in your home, treat both outside the home and inside at the same time for maximum effectiveness.

External Applications For Cats And Dogs
Lightly rub DE into pets coat, fur and bedding to dehydrate fleas, lice, mites and ticks. Dust them lightly, but thoroughly, as in order to kill the parasites, they must come in contact with the DE. Note, external application can take up to 72 hours to dehydrate external parasites.

Lightly sprinkle in household carpet. Leave for 2-3+ days, then vacuum. Please do not get heavy handed with the DE in your carpet, as I have heard from some people advising it causes problems with their vacuum.

External Applications For Barns, Coops, Kennels, Litter Boxes And Livestock
We use DE throughout the barn, fowl coops and pastures. When mucking the barn and coops, I lightly, but thoroughly sprinkle DE absolutely everywhere! It keeps the kidding barn cleansed and dry. In between barn mucking, I sprinkle DE on wet spots to help dry them out and keep flies from laying eggs. It helps keep the ants, crickets, earwigs, flies, mites, silverfish, roaches and all other disgusting insects from bothering us and our wonderful animals.

DE is excellent in the fowl coops -- on the ground, in nesting/dusting boxes to prevent lice and mites. Sprinkle directly on fowl feathers to eliminate mites and lice. One thorough application of DE has their feathers growing back quickly.

DE applied to manure piles keeps fly loads down/eliminated.

Dairy cow owners put DE in burlap bags, so cows can rub against it and sprinkle themselves with DE, which helps to eliminate flies, that land on them, as well as lice, mites and ticks.

Apply to moist kennel areas to reduce odors, dry the area and prevent pest breeding.

Deodorizing and absorption are natural functions of DE, so add to kitty litter to absorb odors and keep the litter box drier.

A small amount of DE applied to livestock water keeps algae from growing on hot summer days. The amount of DE you need to apply depends on the size and color of the water container and climate temperature. Start by experimenting with a small amount of DE in the water container and increase as/if needed.

DE is great for compost piles, to prevent breeding pests and control odors. It will not harm earthworms, provided you just apply to the top of the compost or worm farm soil. The earthworms will slowly work the DE into the soil making them healthier, as well as the soil. Of course, if you put the earthworms in a bucket of DE, it will dehydrate them.

We use DE on the barn floors at kidding time, instead of using lime which can be toxic. This helps prevent earwigs, fleas, flies, lice, mites, termites and other pests from breeding and keeps the newborn kids healthy, happy, strong and disease free.

Yard, Garden And Landscape Applications
DE’s minerals are great for the yard and gardens.

Apply DE to ant hills. Small ants, regardless of color, may require a few applications to completely eliminate them, as they burrow new hills elsewhere, after we cover their initial hill with DE, but if we keep at it, eventually they disappear. Big ants are eliminated within two applications of a reasonable amount of DE applied to their ant hill. Ants in trash cans can be controlled by either painting DE around the bottom of the trash can or sprinkling it dry around it. They'll go elsewhere, as they do not like walking over DE. Of course, you will need to find their home to completely eliminate them, but it will keep them away from areas you put DE. Sprinkled around the house foundation keeps new crawling insects from coming inside.

Fire ants will need regular application of DE to eliminate them, but if you continue regular applications, it will eliminate the fire ants.

We mix DE with water to paint our fruit tree trunks with it, like a white wash. The DE keeps ants OFF our fruit trees. 1 cup applied to ½ gallon of water works well. Be sure to stir frequently as the DE settles to the bottom. Good as a white wash for wood fencing too.

1 to 2 cups per gallon of water can be used to apply DE in a backpack or hose end sprayer for problem infestations of aphids, fungus problems, mites, etc. DE will turn whatever you paint or spray with it white -- so it may look like a “white” winter at your place.

DE will not destroy earthworms, if applied to the top of the soil in worm farms and the worms are allowed to work it into the soil on their own. It is actually beneficial to the worms and compost just make sure to allow the worms to do the work and not bury them in the DE.

Outdoor Bugs Affected By DE
Ants, aphids, army worms, bed bugs, caterpillars, centipedes, cockroaches, corn borer, corn earworm, cucumber beetles, cut worms, earwigs. fleas, fire ants, flies, fruit flies, Japanese beetles (grub stage), lice, loopers, mites, scorpions, silverfish, slugs, snails, spiders, sting bugs, squash vine borers, ticks, termites, thrips, etc., etc.

Pests that lay eggs may require a second application to catch the hatching eggs.

Mineralization
DE contains 15 trace minerals; calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, copper, zinc iron, phosphorous, selenium, etc. People note better overall health, better production, shinier coats, etc. in their animals who are fed DE regularly.

Fly Control
Used daily, DE helps eliminate our fly population here used in conjunction with beneficial/parasitic nematodes in wet or moist garden areas. Sprinkle DE on livestock when flies are present. Used daily, DE helps eliminate our fly population here. Sprinkle DE on livestock when flies are present. Dust barns, coops, after mucking and throw on top of manure/compost piles. We feed it daily to all cats, dogs, fowl and livestock, so it comes out in the manure of each animal as well and prevents flies from growing in the manures.

Farmers hang burlap bags full of DE for the cattle to rub against and keep themselves dusted, which eliminates flies and other pests that land on them.

DE can be put in a backpack sprayer mixed with water to spray your barn or coop buildings. Reapply DE when rain or water washes or wind blows it away.

Grain Storage And Protection
DE is a healthy non-toxic alternative to chemical contamination of stored grain. When the grain is to be used, DE can be easily removed, but need not be. Since it is “food grade”, makes no difference in taste or cooking quality and adds 15 trace minerals. Suggested grain storage use: 1 cup of DE will protect 50 lb of grain -- 5 cups of DE will protect 300 lb of grain -- 7 lb of DE will protect 1500 lb of grain or seeds. One source advises only 1 to 2 lb of DE per ton of grain.

A study done by ACRES, USA, Inc. advised that after 12 months of storage, the DE treated material had 15 insects, compared to 4884 for malathion and 16,994 for untreated grain.

More DE Benefits
DE has been reported in scientific literature to absorb E. coli, endotoxins, drug resides and protein, methyl mercury, organophosphate pesticide residues, viruses (including polio virus), perhaps even the proteinaceous toxins produced by some intestinal infections. DE detoxes.

There are some features about DE that correspond with its ability as both a colon cleanser and a digestive aid. The honeycomb skeletal form of DE is found, under microscopic evaluation to reveal a tendency to become filled and clogged with hard debris such as intestinal scale. DE has not been found to cause any insult to the mucosa or barrier wall.

DE has a negative charge and bacteria has a positive charge, wherein it is believed by some that DE sweeps bacteria out of the body by trapping it in its honeycomb shaped skeletal form.

There is no withdrawal period when given to feed or milking animals. No toxins. Better feed conversion, decreased mastitis, increased milk production.

Why Is Your DE Labeled Food Chemical Codex Grade?
The ONLY kind of DE we sell is labeled "Food Chemical Codex Grade". This is "food" grade DE, though the "chemical" sounds scary, it was labeled that way so that people would realize it isn't just to feed to humans or animals, but so people realize it can be used externally for bed bugs, fleas, flies, mites, ticks and other insect pests in organic farming situations, etc., as it "acts" like a chemical by dehydrating insects, but it is NOT a chemical in the traditional sense of being a pesticide type thing.

Cautions
• DE manufacturers who work in DE mines 5 days/week advise inhaling it is not a problem (tho of course, don't be snuffing it) and we have not had problems when inhaling DE in small amounts. IF you have asthma or some other lung ailment, either wear a mask or be very careful when using DE.
• Do NOT get DE in the eyes. DE is drying to the eyes, so do NOT put it out when you or your pets are down wind of it. DE is drying to your skin, hands and feet, just as it can be to your pets.
• Do NOT use heavily in carpet. Some advise too much DE causes vacuum problems.
• NEVER use pool filter grade or any DE other than those labeled "Food Grade" for yourself or your animals. It can poison or kill them.
• Remember, DE will kill beneficial insects as well, so don't put it on your flowers where the honey bees go and use wisely.
• Some people experience a healing crisis (detox reaction) when beginning DE consumption. If this occurs, reduce the dose, till your body is cleansed and then increase to the RDA.

~ Fleas and Ticks ~

Traditional cat and dog flea and tick preventative treatments are toxic to us and our pets. Many veterinarians recommend these toxic chemical topical flea and tick treatment preventatives. These traditional flea and tick treatments are killing pets, some within a matter of hours after applying the flea/tick collar and rushing the pet to the veterinary hospital, others within a few days.

Perma-Guard Pure Food Grade DE is Organic Material Review Institute (OMRI) listed, does not poison our pets and simply dehydrates fleas and ticks that come in contact with it within 72 hours. DE can be sprinkled in your home carpeting, on cats, dogs and other animals, applied in their bedding and in all dry outdoor areas that fleas congregate. If your pet currently has fleas, it is essential to feed DE daily at double the recommended daily dose to address the tapeworms your cat, dog, ferret or other pet will have from ingesting fleas.

Using traditional flea and tick poisons is toxic to us and our pets. Chemical pesticides are designed to kill bugs and weeds, so putting flea and tick poisons in or on your beloved furry cat or dog's body is complete insanity. These toxic flea preventative treatments do NOT make your dog or cat smell bad, so the fleas and ticks do not want to hitch hike on your pets, they poison your pet's body - blood, brain, kidneys, liver, lymphatic system, skin and then when the flea or tick bites them, it kills them. Some people get rashes and have allergic reactions to petting cats or dogs who have been treated with these topical flea treatments.

Sprinkle DE on the pet(s) who has adult fleas and/or ticks. Lightly, but thoroughly, get the DE throughout their fur. It will kill adult fleas and ticks within 24-72 hours of the flea(s) coming in contact with the DE.

To make flea and tick treatment successful, it is imperative that everything is treated all at the same time, the cat, dog or other pet; the yard; the bedding; the household, if the animal is an indoor pet. If you are diligent in treatment with the DE, you can expect a flea and/or tick infestation to be eliminated within 3 weeks.

The reason everything must be treated at once is because ONLY 5 to 15% of the flea and/or tick infestation that you see are the adult fleas and ticks. The remaining 85 to 95% of your flea and tick infestation are the flea larvae and tick eggs that have not yet hatched!! Thus, in order to completely eliminate a flea/tick infestation, everything and every affected pet must be treated at the same time for lasting effectiveness.

When we take in tiny feral kitten rescues, they often have freeways of fleas running around their little tummies. IF I attempted to bathe the kittens, they would likely attempt to kill me, which would create undue stress on both of us and then likely they would never come near a human again, which would make it extremely difficult to get them adopted out! A few years ago, I started confining these tiny feral kittens to one room of the house. I dunked their little bodies into a 5 gallon bucket of DE, keeping it out of their eyes and ears, put some DE in their litter box as well (helps to keep it dry and odor free, besides giving them some DE on their legs every time they potty). I dust them with DE twice/week and within 2 to 3 weeks, ALL of the fleas are gone and they do not propagate in the house. I do try to comb them once/week or so, just so I can see how many fleas they still have, but combing tiny feral kittens is difficult and their little armpits, elbows, etc. are nearly impossible to get fleas out of with a comb and they generally don't take to kindly to being turned over on their backs by a strange human.

Since they have fleas, I also feed them a teaspoon of DE in their food each day. They always have lots of tapeworm segments on their hind end fur, following the first day of dosing them with DE and continuing for a week or so thereafter. Recommended feeding rates for 4-5 week old kittens is only 1/2 teaspoon, but since they are infested with fleas, I know they will be infested with tapeworms, so I increase the dose to 1 teaspoon, sometimes just a bit more to make sure it is effective.

Healthy animals rarely succumb to disease, illness or bad behaviors. When they do, they bounce back quicker than unhealthy animals. They get plenty of exercise, sunshine, love, tender loving care, natural rearing foods that are biologically appropriate to the specific animal, clean environments, mental exercise in the way of proper, appropriate training and avoidance of toxins. They have jobs to keep them busy, whether watching the house while we are gone or making sure the couch or cats don't get eaten while we are away. They are part of our family. Often, they are better than a few humans in our immediate family and deserve the BEST possible health care we can give them.

~ Worming ~

This page addresses how and why we personally use DE 365 days/year.

At least fifty percent of our business is related to worm or parasite overloads in humans and animals OR the results of the chemical wormers that have now poisoned the human or animal and lowered/poisoned their immune system enough to cause disease.

DE And Tapeworms
When we take in feral rescue kittens that have freeways of fleas running around their tiny tummies, we dunk the kittens in a 5 gallon bucket of DE and smother them in it, put it in their litter boxes and dust them with DE twice/week AND I feed the DE internally 1 heaping teaspoon daily for tiny 1 to 2 lb kittens as we KNOW they will have tapeworms. Immediately thereafter and for about 2 weeks, they emit 30 to 40 tiny tape segments on the back of their hind end fur. Little by little, there are fewer and fewer tape segments seen, their pot bellies are gone and their stools are normal. Within 2 to 3 weeks all the adult fleas are gone and no larvae exist.

IF we tried to bathe these feral rescues, they would KILL us and likely never come near a human again. It is our goal to adopt them out, so bathing is not an option. Most people don't want feral cats or kittens, most want friendly, social, healthy ones and the DE really helps us accomplish this painlessly.

We feed whole rabbits we buy from rabbitries that sell to the supermarket butchers to all our canines and felines. Rabbits are natural carriers of tapeworms. Before we began using DE in 1997, I would occassionally see tapes in the canines stools. I did the "messy" Juliette de Bairacli Levy worming - fasting 3 days prior to the full moon - castor oil and antiparasitic herbs and foods. It took care of the tapes, but was a HUGE mess to clean up the diarrhea. Since using DE regularly the past 8 years in everyone's food here, I have never seen a tape segment in anyones stool

DE does need to be fed daily in adequate amounts - at least 30 to 45 days for tape worms and 90 days for lung worms.

Worms Affected By DE
DE eliminates hookworms, pinworms, roundworms and whipworms within 7 days of being fed daily.

We always suggest feeding DE for a minimum of 30 days for hookworms, roundworms or whipworms, due to their life cycle and needing to catch any hatching eggs, as DE does not kill eggs.

Lungworms, including hookworms that have migrated to the lungs for which upper respiratory symptoms would be seen - coughing, nasal discharge, runny eyes, sneezing, etc., take double the recommended daily DE dose for at least 90 days.

Why Feed DE 365 Days A Year?
We use DE daily, 365 days/year for numerous reasons. The animal and human health benefits DE provides are outstanding. DE's ability to eliminate pests such as fleas, flies, etc. makes it an asset to every being's health - animal, human or plant.

Since DE does double duty - inside the gut and then outside in the stool, it makes sense/cents to just feed it 365 days/year. It keeps fly loads down and can help eliminate them completely if fed regularly and used on the grounds, makes stools smell less and sweeps bacteria and heavy metals out of the body. Plus of course, it eliminates internal parasites and worms which will lower feed and vet bills and help prevent disease.

It is our belief that parasites and worms are a major cause of all disease. ALL cancer and other dis-eased patients have worms. Therefore, by feeding DE in adequate quantities daily, we know we have NO worms and therefore at least seventy percent of the chance of getting diseased goes right out the window.

Using DE For Humans
85 to 95% of the human population has worms and these worms are a major contributor to dis-ease. If your doctor said, here, take this chemical/poison wormer you give to your pet, would YOU take it?? If not, WHY on earth would you give it to your beloved companions??

The manufacturers recommended feeding rates for people is 1 heaping tablespoon daily. We take 2 tablespoons daily, simply because the RDA for 100 lb dogs is 2 tablespoons and most of the humans here weigh 130 lb or more. Since DE won't hurt us and we know the DE has to come in contact with parasites/worms to eliminate them, a little more is better than not enough.

I recommend starting with 1 tablespoon daily and increasing as desired, after you are certain you aren't having heavy detox effects from the die off of worms.

Some human clients advise they use DE mixed with water and painted on their skin to eliminate parasites such as helmith parasite infestations, Morgellon's disease, etc. and consume DE daily. Apparently, painting the DE on the skin makes it easier to see the parasite eggs, plus it dehydrates any insects on the skin.

Feeding DE To Horses
If fecal counts are not zero for worms and ova after feeding DE for 30 days, increase the daily dose. Feeding too small a dose of DE will not give desired results. Increasing the dose, even if greater than the manufacturers recommendations, will not harm anyone. Some horses do fine on 1/2 cup of DE daily, others need a full cup. This reminds us, that all beings are different. So again, if the worm and ova counts are not zero, increase your daily dose.

Some advise feeding 1/2 cup daily to most of their horses works great, but there are one or two who still test positive for strongyles. As everyone's immune system is different - age, height, weight, mineral intake, etc., some just need a little more to take care of the problem.

Chemical Wormers And Parvo VS DE
As for traditional wormers...more and more, we are getting breeders who start worming as early as 2 and 4 weeks of age. They worm every 2 weeks and rotate their wormers using Ivomec, Nemex, Panacur, Pyrantel, Safeguard, Strongid...and many puppies then come down with parvo. Many of these puppies wormed at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks of age who are now 8 or 9 weeks old and now have parvo, STILL have worm infestations. We believe this is because the worms are developing immunity to the chemical wormers, just as bacteria are becoming resistant to traditional antibiotics. And again, most of these breeders aren't even using the same wormer each time they worm, but using different ones to help prevent the worms from developing immunity. Worms cannot develop immunity to DE as it simply dehydrates those it comes in contact with - period.

Realize, that with our parvo puppy cases and the breeders who are adamant that their puppies have no worms...when based on the sick puppies symptoms, I tell them the puppy has worms, it is impossible to talk the breeder into using DE as they KNOW they wormed their puppies with the chemical wormers and believe the puppies have NO worms. Worms can prevent recovery from parvo. It is not until the breeder actually sees a worm(s) in feces or vomit (some worms you can't even see with the naked eye), that they start to listen, but often this is after they've lost one, two or more puppies Worms can kill puppies and cause symptoms very similar to parvo or coccidia, so the combination of BOTH parvo and excessive worm loads is even more deadly.

Realize too, once a vet diagnoses parvo, they no longer test the puppy for anything else. If we were to assume that the fecal tests would show the worms, this would make it easier to deal with the worm loads by knowing it is an issue that needs addressing. Also, note, frequently, puppies with parvo that are wormed with chemical wormers die quickly after being given the chemical wormer. Again, this is why we recommend the DE, as we have used it when dealing with wormy parvo puppies and our customers have done so with excellent success. The DE is gentle, but effective enough to be given to a parvo puppy and will not harm the inflamed intestinal mucousa of parvo puppies.

Parvo puppies who have worm infestations and aren't having the normal parvo puppy 4 to 6 bowel movements/day (which 9 times out of 10, if they haven't had a bowel movement for 8 hours, they have worm infestations that can prevent their recovery), we syringe DE mixed with water down their throats, along with the same amount mixed with water via enema to eliminate parasites in the bowel. This helps eliminate the worms without poisoning the puppy (which traditional wormers can do) and helps loosen the worm blockage in the bowel allowing them to have a bowel movement within a few hours. Don't be surprised if you see a bunch of worms in the stool after doing this. The DE works great and doesn't kill the animal and helps hasten their recovery.

When recent traditional worming methods cause dis-ease, chemical (aka poison) wormers must be detoxed from the system as the flood of dying parasites emit toxins, such as ammonia, bacteria, viruses, plus the poison in the wormer can harm and even kill animal, especially those with inflamed intestinal tracts such as parvo puppies.

Puppies are born with hookworms and roundworms, regardless of how free of worms their mother may have been, eggs hatch in the puppies at birth. Tapeworms are contracted if the puppy comes in contact with fleas or rodents.

But My Pet Tested Negative For Worms
I am not sure which is worse - chemical wormers that aren't effective OR the fact that fecal tests that indicate whether or not people or animals have worms are only 20 to 25% accurate!! As advanced as our medical profession appears to be or tries to tell us they are, WHY on earth can they not tell us with at least 80% accuracy whether or not someone has worms??

Anyways, I gave up on traditional medicine over 15 years ago. I had picked up steamy fresh stools from 4 new rescues early one morning, drove them less than 10 minutes away to my mobile vet who immediately put the samples in her refrigerator. One of the stools belonged to a young wolf rescue who came here scooting her rear end acrossed the ground and another one actually had worms I could see in the stool sample I brought her. The following day, she called me to advise ALL 4 fecals were negative for worms! I found it outrageous that I paid $100 for those samples and I KNEW 2 of the wolf rescues HAD worms, yet the test results came up negative.

The vet made up 60cc's of a liquid concoction of stuff that I was supposed to get down the throats of new wolf rescues who didn't even know me yet?? HAHAHA! Best yet, I needed to do this without getting bit. The vet guessed at what worms they had...anyways, the situation failed miserably, tho I got at least 40 cc's of this stuff into the scooting wolf rescue, but she continued to scoot anyways.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind spending money, but when I spend it, I want "accurate" answers or results. That shouldn't be so hard, should it?

Thus, my non-toxic natural solution has been to simply feed DE, 365 days/year to myself and my 100 animal guardians here. I started that just over 9 years ago and Lady Nikko no longer scoots acrossed her concrete floor! PLUS, I don't have to "stuff" it down her throat, I just put it in her food, like everyone else and she eats it just fine. And it has always worked fabulously for incoming rescue kittens or puppies/dogs that have diarrhea, some with bloated bellies. Within 48 hours of daily DE consumption, stools are much firmer and pot bellies are eliminated.

How We Feed DE To Sick Pets Or Those With Worm Infestations
Thankfully, natural DE is not a "poison", but a natural method of eliminating parasites by dehydrating them. Since parasites are a major cause of dis-ease in everyone - animals, human and plants, as well as the other great benefits of feeding natural DE, we immediately feed DE to all rescues or client animals (infested or not, as most often they have parasite issues and the DE will help strengthen their immune systems, get them healthier more quickly, detox heavy metals, provide 15 minerals and eliminate any worms they may have). Our DE feeding protocol for worm infestations can be given once or twice per day as follows:

Kittens (below 1 year's old) - 1/2 to 1 teaspoon
Cats - 2 teaspoons twice/day
Puppies less than 10 lb - 1/2 to 1 teaspoon
Puppies 10 to 19 lb - 2 teaspoons
Dogs 20 to 50 lb - 1 to 1.5 tablespoons
Dogs 50+ lb - 2 tablespoons
Dogs 100+ lb - 3 to 4 tablespoons
Cattle, Dairy Cows and Hogs - 2% of dry feed ration and free choice
Chickens - 5% in feed and free choice
Goats and Sheep - 2 to 3 tablespoons per 100 lb of body weight and free choice
Horses - 1 to 2 cups in daily ration
*Humans - 2 to 3 heaping tablespoons daily (1 tablespoon AM, 1 tablespoon PM)

For puppies and kittens who are eating on their own, it is really easy to feed them DE by mixing the DE in a small amount of raw goat's milk (or whatever milk you prefer), cottage cheese or yogurt.

Just remember, DE has to come in contact with the bug/parasite/worm to kill it within 24 to 72 hours. Once you start worming with DE, do NOT stop the daily DE for at least 3 weeks. IF you start one day and forget for 3 days, the infestation and dead dying worms which emit ammonia, bacteria, toxins, etc. can cause toxic overload, which can make animals or people sicker.

Once you start worming with DE, remember to feed EVERY day. If you start one day and skip a few days, the build up of dead dying worms can create dis-ease.

Anyways, you can feed too little, but you can't feed too much DE (of course, no one is going to feed a 50 lb bag to a canine, kitten or horse in one day - okay, so there might be someone out there that would try it...). The recommended feeding rates on this page are what the manufacturer recommends. Personally, if I KNOW I'm dealing with an infestation in a new rescue, I ALWAYS feed more than the recommended dose for the first 3 to 4 weeks, because I don't want to have to deal with the dis-ease worm loads can cause, nor the diarrhea, etc.

More Reasons To Feed DE To Young Animals And Pets
Feeding DE to young pets - birds, goats, kittens, puppies, etc. as soon as they start eating on their own has shown to help prevent coccidia and giardia, dirt eating, rock eating and stool eating. Since DE eliminates intestinal worms and provides 15 vital minerals, it helps keep the immune system stronger and healthier. There is no easier way to assure healthier, happy, radiant furry and feathered family members. Of course, considering fewer of these toxins being injected into the body helps.

~ Human Use ~

DE has excellent health benefits for humans. Taken daily, it helps eliminate all intestinal worms and parasites from the body and keeps the bowels clean. DE is also known to sweep some bacteria out of the system, but DE does NOT kill the beneficial bacteria in the gut. Most people who consume DE take it on a daily basis, ourselves, employees and children included. DE contains 15 naturally occurring minerals that are excellent for the body. These minerals promote healthier, shinier hair, nails and skin.

In 1939, the Nobel Prize winner for chemistry, Professor Adolf Butenandt, proved that life cannot exist without silica.

In the 2003 book "Water & Salt" Dr. Barbara Hendel stated: "Silica is the most important trace mineral for human health!"

NOTE: ALL references to DE on this page refer ONLY to FOOD GRADE DE, unless otherwise advised. NEVER use pool filter grade or DE internally or in your home or on your animals, unless it is FOOD GRADE!

DE is a natural powder that works in a purely physical/mechanical manner, not "chemical" and thus has no chemical toxicity. Best yet, parasites don’t build up a tolerance/immunity to its chemical reaction, so rotation of wormers or chemical insecticides is unnecessary. DE has NO odor.

DE is 85% amorphous silica!

Silica is the most plentiful element on earth, following oxygen; but there are very few foods that contain an adequate amount to supply the quantity your body needs. Silica is crucial to blood vessels, bones, cartilage, skin and tendons. Silica is even located in the blood itself and important organs such as the liver, lung and heart. The average human body holds approximately 7 grams of silica, a quantity far exceeding the figures for other important minerals such as iron.

It is as important to provide the body dietary sources of silica early in life as it is during the aging process when silica levels in tissue usually drop off steeply. Silica plays an important role in many body functions. Silica has an exact absolute influence on absorption of all minerals that the body requires to maintain health. It adds to the quality of life!

Silica does not accumulate in the body; it is water soluble, is easily absorbed by the intestinal wall and rapidly excreted, so daily consumption is important. Studies have not found any negative side effects from too much silica.

Perma-Guard Pure Food Grade DE is a 100% natural and organic source of silica, it is safe for the environment, livestock, people and pets. It is taken from fresh water deposits and is the purest form available. DE is not actually an "earth" but it is the fossilized remains of microscopic shells created by single celled plants called diatoms.

When taken internally, many health benefits have been observed. The biggest benefits seen have been lower cholesterol, lowering of blood pressure, relief from arthritis pain, increased energy, more regular bowel movements, smoother complexion and sinus and cough relief. It is estimated that there are more than 1,500 ways DE is beneficial to animal, humans and plants.

As a daily supplement, many believe that its most beneficial use is for internal cleansing by aiding in the elimination of intestinal parasites, which are not able to develop an immunity to the sharp edges of DE.

DE can also detox the body. According to a top cancer researcher, it is also the best natural chelating product available for pulling heavy metals from the bloodstream. Many believe that the increase in the number of cases of heavy metal poisoning has occurred in part due to mercury in cooking in aluminum cookware, deodorants with aluminum, energy/soda aluminum can, fluoridated water, foil wrap, some seafood, vaccines and a number of other ways.

DE has many health benefits. Years ago the silica in our food was adequate, but with today's hybrids and depleted soils, only about 1/3 of the silica needed is supplied in our food. DE is a simple and inexpensive way to get the silica your body needs. DE contains 85% amorphous silica.

How Does DE Work?
When DE is taken into the body it does its work in 3 different ways:

1. DE looks like a cylinder/honeycomb full of holes. This cylinder/honeycomb has a very strong negative charge. As the millions of cylinders move through the stomach and digestive tract, they attract and absorb bacteria, E. coli, endotoxins, fungi, heavy metals, pesticide and drug residues, protozoa and viruses. These pathogens are trapped inside the cylinder and passed out of the body. Additionally, any larger parasites that happen to be in the stomach or digestive tract are "cut up" and killed by the sharp edges of the DE. All of these activities result in a much healthier body with less sickness. Our clients tell us they feel better, their hair has never been so soft, since taking DE daily, their naturopathic physician muscle tested them for DE and their body has a very strong need for it, they feel better, We often hear the phrase "I just feel better" with our DE users. This better feeling comes from all the "junk" being removed from the body and boosting our immune systems.

2. DE is very hard. On the hardness scale diamonds are a 9, DE is a 7. This is very important, because as those millions of tiny hard and sharp DE cylinders pass through the small and large intestines, they "scrub" the walls (note they do not harm the intestinal wall). After only a few months of taking DE, the intestine wall is no longer coated with gunk, molds and mucus! Thus, DE helps promote regular bowel movements and a healthier colon. A clean healthy colon prevents cancer, polyps, ulcers and continued toxification of the body that a dirty colon produces. This day in age, many people are doing colonix and detox programs, hydro colonic therapy, etc. and DE helps promote this same type of cleansing. People report increased energy, better sleep and/or needing less sleep. This is a result of the food and nutrients that are taken into the body being better absorbed into the blood stream. A coated, toxic colon does not allow many nutrients from our food to be properly absorbed. A toxic colon and intestinal tract can also result in overweight and obesity, as people lack the proper nutrients their body needs to promote optimum health, so they and their pets, continue to eat more food in an attempt to obtain the nutrients their bodies are lacking from being toxic.

3. A small amount of DE is absorbed into the blood stream. As it moves throughout the body they clean and breakup plaque in the blood vessels and also destroy bad fats. Many have lowered their cholesterol by 40-50 points; many notice that their high blood pressure goes down. As the DE eventually dissolves in the blood, the many health benefits of the silica content are realized.

How Do Humans Take DE?
People are always asking me, how to take DE. There is NO one perfect way to take DE. I KNOW you are already disappointed with this fact, as you were hoping there was ONLY ONE "perfect" way to take it (sorry 'bout that). Everyone's' preferences are different. Some people take 1 heaping teaspoon in a glass of water prior to each meal, 3x/day and swear by DE's wonderful health benefits keeping acne away, clean clear skin, better sleep, more energy, stronger hair and nails. Others take a heaping tablespoon just before bedtime, figuring it's best to take it away from food because of its detox benefits. Others take it in the morning in their juice. Still others put it in their morning coffee, protein drink, smoothies, etc. Whether you take DE once/day or 3x/day, everyone reports effectiveness and better health.

"I" take 2 tablespoons of DE daily with a very small amount of water, just enough to make it fluid (like water). I'm not interested in tasting the DE in a full 8 ounce glass of water. I stir it up well and immediately consume before the DE has a chance to settle at the bottom of the glass. I don't care for the taste of DE in my orange juice, but others like DE in their coffee, juice, protein drink, smoothies, etc.

DE doesn't taste bad, nor nearly as horrible as many herbs taste. It tastes like dirt to me (now you're wondering if I run around eating dirt...). Okay, so I do, especially that wonderful rich smelling soil!

Numerous people advise that their iridologist or natural care physicians muscle test them with DE and find that their bodies test VERY strong for it which means they need the DE. Then of course, they ask them what it is and then these natural care professionals contact me for more information about DE.

Many women advise their hair has never been so soft as it is now since taking DE. Others advise of cleaner clear complexions, when previously they had acne trouble. Still others notice an increase in energy levels and others advise it keeps their bowels clean and helps them sleep better.

Many of our DE customers, including myself, had fed DE to their animal companions daily for years. And then one day, we all figured, gee, we're giving this to our furry and feathered family members to help keep them healthy and parasite/worm free, maybe we should take it ourselves and reap the same benefits...not sure why it took so long for the "light bulb" to go on, but at least it finally did.

Some people do notice funny, strange or gross things in their bowel movements. Some choose to look and others don't want to know. Obviously, this is a personal choice for each of us to make, but the bottom line is it is effective in increasing our health status, as removal of internal parasites and worms will allow us to more properly absorb the nutrients from our food, as the parasites/worms will not be eating our food or sucking our blood.

Is DE Safe To Take During Pregnancy?
Yes, DE is excellent for those who are pregnant and not pregnant alike. During pregnancy, it is best to start with a small dose - 1/2 teaspoon daily for the first few days or weeks if needed, making sure to drink plenty of clean fresh pure water (not city tap water) to help sweep toxins out of the body and slowly increase the dose as the pregnant mom-to-be feels fit to do so. This helps prevent a heavy detox by starting out with a heaping tablespoon daily.

Since DE eliminates all intestinal parasites and worms when fed in adequate daily doses, this means the body will better absorb the nutrients from the food the person is consuming as these parasites and worms aren't consuming the nutritional value of the food and sucking the blood, which in turn provides higher quality nutrients to the unborn fetus, making it stronger and healthier as well. Note, DE will not be effective as a natural wormer for the unborn fetus, but can be given in small amounts in bottle feedings once the baby is born.

~ Mites, Insects And Morgellon's Disease ~

DE is excellent to help eliminate mite infestations on humans, pets, plants and in the home and yard. Some people have suffered from these mite infestations for over 10 years without effective treatments from physicians and chemical treatments. If you are one of these people that has suffered from mite, other bug/parasite infestations or Morgellon's disease please read the following and gain back your sanity and healthful life.

DE is a natural powder that works in a purely physical/mechanical manner, not chemical and thus has no chemical toxicity. Best yet, parasites don't build up a tolerance/immunity to its chemical reaction, so rotation of wormers or chemical insecticides is unnecessary AND DE has NO odor.

If you are dealing with a bug or mite infestation in your home, it is essential to treat the affected people, pets and household all at the same time. Lightly sprinkle DE in household carpet, along floor baseboards, in pet bedding, under furniture, beneath couch and chair cushions, in closets, etc. Leave for 2-3+ days, then vacuum. Reapply regularly for the first month for severe infestations, as the parasite eggs hatch 10 days to 3 weeks after being laid by the host, so it is essential to keep up regular treatment to completely eliminate the infestation. Please do not get heavy handed with the DE in your carpet, as I have heard from one lady advising it causes problems with their vacuum when applied excessively.

Bed mites or bugs can be smothered with DE, by putting a plastic cover over your mattress, after lightly covering the mattress with DE and then zipping up the plastic cover and leaving it closed up for a few weeks.

Wash ALL clothing, bedding and linens in hot water, preferably leaving these items in the hot water for 30 minutes.

Bugs Affected By DE
Ants, aphids, army worms, bed bugs, caterpillars, centipedes, cockroaches, corn borer, corn earworm, cucumber beetles, cut worms, earwigs. fleas, fire ants, flies, fruit flies, Japanese beetles (grub stage), lice, loopers, mites, scorpions, silverfish, slugs, snails, spiders, sting bugs, squash vine borers, ticks, termites, thrips, etc., etc.

A study done by ACRES, USA, Inc. advised that after 12 months of grain storage, the DE treated material had 15 insects, compared to 4884 for malathion and 16,994 for untreated grain.

Why Do I Have Mites?
Many people advise that they are the only ones in their household affected by a mite infestation. Their spouse and/or children are not affected or bothered by the mites, yet the mites are literally eating them alive. Some people advise they get a little relief from the itching and biting when they go to a friend's home, though the mites don't disappear while they are visiting their friend and the mites are NOT bothering the friend(s). WHY don't the mites bother everyone in the household?

Mites are on all of us; people, pets, plants, etc. We don't usually see them and most of us are not affected by them as we have reasonably strong, healthy immune systems. When our immune system is low, this gives way for the mites to take over and attempt to ruin our lives and make us miserable. Just as fleas prey on less healthy animals and mountain lions prey on the weaker, young or less healthy animals and mites or borers prey on the trees and plants that are not as strong as they should be; mites prey on those of us who are not strong enough to fight them off.

For this reason, it is always important to boost the immune system of the being when dealing with any dis-ease - cancers, diabetes, parasite infestations, etc. There are many ways to help boost the immune system such as:

• Consume species appropriate nutrition. For people, this means forget the junk food and eat real food, plenty of fruits and veggies daily. Consider natural mineral supplementation in the form of chlorella, kelp, spirulina, etc.
• Eliminate internal worms and parasites by taking DE every day. This will help your body maximize the absorption from the nutrition you are eating, if worms are not sucking your blood and robbing you of the nutrients in your daily food.
• Get plenty of good daily exercise.

Things you can try to make you taste yucky to mites or other parasites:

• Consume 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water, 3x/day.
• Consume raw garlic daily.

Other natural ways to kill mites:

Try 1/2 cup of olive oil, mixed with 15 to 20 drops of each of the following essential oils:
Tea tree (anti-parasitic, antimicrobial)
Lavender (soothing, healing, antiseptic)
Cloves (anti-parasitic, kills parasite eggs, antimicrobial)

Rub this mixture into a small area of your skin that is bothered by mites. Test it in a small area to make sure you do not have an allergic reaction. If you are fine and you notice relief in that area, than apply a larger amount to a larger area of skin. This will smother the mites.

Try the same mixture above without the olive oil and use 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar. This can also be used to rinse your hair after washing, though do not completely rinse your hair clean with water or the antiparasite effects will be lost.

Mayonnaise by itself or mixed with a few drops of the above essential oils is good for mites or lice in the hair. Leave it on for a good half hour, then rinse well.

How Long Will It Take To Get Rid Of Mites?
Every situation is a bit different, so giving a definitive time frame can be difficult. IF you start treating everything, your home, environment, yard, clothing, etc. ALL at the same time and continue for 3 to 4 weeks and are diligent, your mite infestation should be completely eliminated within 3 to 4 weeks.

IF, however, you do not treat everything at the same time, the task of eliminating them will become a constant nightmare and chore, as eggs will continue to hatch and infest you, your home, yard, automobile, etc.

For some, it is relatively simple to just dust the DE all over the household, consume it, dust or paint themselves with it and immediately they notice they aren't itching as much. We do not recommend letting up with your mite elimination program, until you have completed 3 to 4 weeks of treatment, simply because you don't want them to return in greater numbers and drive you to insanity (which you are likely feeling already). Additionally, this is why it is VERY beneficial to work at boosting your immune system as well, so that the normal, everyday mites that inhabit all of our homes and yards are not troublesome to you anymore.

What Are Mites?
Information about; bed mite, bird mites, chiggers, clove mites, dust mites, itch mites, grain mite, harvest mite, house mite, lice, mites, mold mite, scabies, straw itch mites, tropical rat mite and other household pests can be found on this page.

IF you have fiber like material coming out of your skin, sores, intense itching, your hair is falling out, etc., you may have Morgellon's disease. In doing a Google search for "Morgellons disease" a bunch of websites come up offering "cures". Some costing $200 others costing $1500. I do not know if any of these solutions work, as I get the calls from Morgellon's people who have not been helped with traditional medicine and they are continuing to search for a way to heal themselves and their families.

Many people affected by Morgellon's disease have been told by their physicians that they need to see a psychiatrist, as their problem is all in their head. Please note, these physicians have been known to stand 3 feet away from the affected patient, even when requesting the doctor look at the parasites that can be seen moving beneath the patient's skin. WHY are these physicians afraid to touch or come close to these people? Morgellons IS a REAL disease, it is NOT imagined.

We presently have a number Morgellon's disease affected customers. They purchase 50 lb bags of DE to consume orally, to apply in their households and to paint their bodies with, as recommended by their doctors. By itself, the DE will not cure Morgellons, though it does help with the parasite infestation.

Please note, most of our Morgellons affected people advise their symptoms are worse around the full moon. This is indicative of a parasite/worm infestation, as worms are more active in the tissues of the body during the full moon. It is my belief that daily consumption of DE helps considerably. Start with small amounts of DE to help prevent detox/herxheimer effects and build up to at least 2 heaping tablespoons daily.

Heat also makes these parasites more active and they can be seen crawling beneath the skin on affected people, as well as exit the body through the skin.

Due to the overload of these parasites in the body, they can create infection - bacteria, fungal, viral likely due to the fact they emit toxins into the system and excrete waste into the body. A good, preferably natural antibiotic will help with these infections. Consider colloidal silver (make it yourself to save on money) or Viparabac Plus.

Due to the excessive stress this disease causes, sufficient intake of quality vitamins and minerals will help prevent hair loss. Supplements such as organic kelp, spirulina, etc. would help restore the mineral loss consumed by these worms/parasites. Of course, a really good natural diet will help as well, preferably one that contains at least 50% raw vegetables and fruits.

Further note, likely Morgellons is NOT just a worm/parasite infestation. Fibers come out of the skin in the face, neck and everywhere else on the body on a DAILY basis. These fibers can be black, blue, red and white, some like hair strands or wire, others fuzzy. Some advise this comes from cotton, others say chemtrails.

Our DE And Mite Experience
EVERY Spring, we used to have one or two chickens that would get mites, while the other forty something were just fine. As always, I would procrastinate hunting the mite infested chickens down, until they had lost a good 1/3rd of their feathers. Then, I FINALLY chased down the nearly featherless chicken(s), turned them upside down and smothered them in DE. I turned them right side up and thoroughly applied the DE to their top feathers, neck, head, etc. and THEN, I mucked the coops and cleaned out the nesting boxes. Then I applied DE thoroughly to the coop grounds and in the nesting boxes...they NEVER needed a second treatment and their feathers started to grow back immediately.

I wised up in 2001 and just keep DE in all the nesting boxes and on the coop floors (this helps eliminate flies, especially from the chickens, guineas, peafowl and roosters that are roosting on limbs at night, as their manure just drops into the 1/4" thick DE on the ground). Baby chicks hatch and leap out of the nesting boxes into the layer of DE and stay healthy and well. This means, I haven't had to hunt down any chickens or fowl to dust them with DE since 2000 Life is grand when you have DE at hand and the animals stay healthier.

~ Fly Control ~

DE is an excellent natural way to help control and eliminate flies. Many of us use it largely for fly control purposes. To use DE to lower and eliminate fly infestations, you need to do the following:

1. Feed DE daily to ALL of your animals - livestock - alpacas, chickens, cows, llamas, goats, guineas, hogs, horses, sheep, pigs and pets - kittens, cats, puppies, dogs, canaries, ferrets, parrots, etc. Since DE is a drying agent, it lowers manure odor which consequently makes your property less hospitable to flies and other pesky insects.
2. Apply DE on compost and manure piles regularly. Again, DE lowers odor, dries out the manure making it less fly friendly, dehydrates flies that come in contact with it and doesn't make good breeding grounds for flies to lay larvae.
3. Keep DE on the floors of barns, stalls, chicken and fowl coops, as well as nesting boxes.
4. Many people put DE in ginny sack bags for horses and livestock to rub up against, coating themselves in it so that flies that land on them will soon be dehydrated. This also works excellent at preventing or eliminating lice, mites, etc.
5. Keep DE on fresh manure, wet spots, etc. daily.
6. Apply on moist soil areas around dog kennels.
7. If you see breeding flies on manure or other areas, quickly apply DE to the affected area, so they are at least lightly covered, if not heavily covered. This will swiftly dehydrate the tiny flies nearly instantly and the flies that fly away covered in DE will dehydrate within 24 to 72 hours.
8. Be careful NOT to apply DE to flowers and areas where beneficial insects (bees, lady bugs, praying mantis, etc.) frequent. These wonderful beneficial insects are becoming extinct already, due to traditional toxic pesticides.
9. It is best to start DE applications early in the fly season to increase the chances of having zero fly loads around your home and animals. Though, the application of DE at any time during the fly/insect season will still produce noticeable results and is definitely better than never applying it at all.

Feeding DE internally AND treating external areas - barns, bird coops, manure piles, etc. at the same time will lower the fly population quickly.

i have a senior dog at my place.
Since she's old and weak, the kutu take the opportunity to start infestation.
I just bought the powder form to dust on her body. it's not cheap..OMG ..RM49!!! for a small bottle.
They drop on the floor which is rather gross..
So am thinking can DE help my Shishio better in terms of infestation and health issues?

May I know what powder were you using?

If you are going to use the DE, looks like you also need to get used to the dust on the floor (but a safe one) for the sake of your beloved Shishio

Please kindly check your PM for more details.

Currently using Naturvet-Herbal Flea Powder
113gm (4 oz) RM49
Repels Fleas and Ticks Naturally.

Thanks for the info.

The DE contains 15 trace minerals; calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, copper, zinc iron, phosphorous, selenium, etc. People note better overall health, better production, shinier coats, etc. in their animals who are fed DE regularly

hi there...is it suitable to be use as substrate for leopard gecko?

Thanks for your interest

While the DE may not severely harm a reptile, it can cause their skin to dry out. As well, it may be harmful for your reptile to breathe the DE in to their lungs.

Sorry, but due to these reasons the use of DE on and around reptiles is not suggested.

fitrah, i've decided to give DE a try.
Beh tahan the kutu. Never cease to bother my dog.
if purchase 1kg, how much the postage will cost me? a bomb?

The PosLaju to WM is RM10 for 1kg

This post has been edited by Fitrah: Jan 20 2012, 10:59 PM

aduh.
I'm currently in Kuching.
Thinking of buying 1kg for my 4 dogs

PosLaju to Kuching is RM14

fitrah,i'm very keen.
500gm first to test test ( actually not enough money )
will maybank2u now plz give me

Thanks for your order

Please kindly check your PM for the order details.

Hi dear,

Wish to order, kindly quote me yr best price/gram or kg & postage (WM).
Btw, my colleague curious to know if she can use DE by dusting on her
child hair to eliminate headlice & kill nits from re-infestion?
Thks in advance for sharing the info of DE.

Hi,

Thanks for your interest

Here are the prices including PosLaju to WM:

250g - RM20 + RM6 = RM26
500g - RM35 + RM7 = RM42
1kg - RM60 + RM10 = RM70

I won't suggest using the DE on the hair, but it can be used in bedding and around the house to kill any lice that might be lingering.

It also can be consumed as DE keeps scalp clean and healthy by killing the fungal causing germs that inhabits the scalp. It also kills lice on hairs that cause scalp itching.

And I would suggest your colleague's child to try using J.R. Liggett's Herbal Formula Shampoo Bar as it contains lavender and is very effective against the problem of head lice which we often see amongst school children.

You're welcome

Thks for prompt reply & detailed info of DE.
Im not sure if her little princess might be able to consumed it as I heard DE taste muddy/soil... ?

Im not sure if I should order 500g of DE first or 1kg in terms of cost wise?
I hope DE can eliminate crawling insects and bugs infestatiion. Btw, what is the price for the shampoo & link of the product?

Added on December 7, 2011, 12:31 pmIt will be great if you may pm reply to me.
Thks & appreciate.

You're welcome and thanks for the info

There is no actual flavor or taste to DE and it does not have an unpleasant taste. Expect a clay-like texture that varies in consistency depending on the amount of water you use.

The DE taste won't be noticeable if it mixed with a drink, especially her favorite drink.

Since DE does not dissolve, it may be necessary to stir a few times while drinking to prevent settling.

Actually the more you buy, the more you save on the price and the postage. And the DE has an unlimited shelf life provided you keep it dry.

The price of each bar is RM33. Here is the link; J.R. Liggett's Old-Fashioned Shampoo Bars, 100% Plant Based And Pure Natural Oils

Yes, sure. Please kindly check your PM for the details.

Have been giving my Shishio, senior dog her 3rd day of DE with her breakfast and dinner. So far so good.
Had not check her poo. I am giving her 2tbp every meal.
Had not used it externally coz she just had her flea bath the day before the parcel arrived.
Have to wait. Maybe tomorrow or Monday will start de-tick her once and for all.

Thanks for the info

May I know what is Shishio's approximate weight?

This post has been edited by Fitrah: Apr 2 2012, 11:55 PM

shishio? agak-agak less than 25kg. Getting abit boney.
My sister said once an old dog wandered near our gate.
Then it died few days later. Even though mum chased it away, shishio might had caught the virus.. Now left bones..aduh..sakit hati..
So now helping her to get well and plump.

Thanks for the info.

Poor old dog! I don't think it's his/her fault that Shishio got the virus because we can never ever blame an animal, but human being.

Maybe he/she used to have an owner who neglected and dumped him/her due to old age and sickness

And maybe he/she was just seeking food, drink and shelter during his/her last days

Hopefully the DE will help Shishio bounces back her weight and good health soon.

Now shishio is looking younger. hahaha! So happy!!
More energetic and not dragging.
You can see it with naked eyes. So happy~~
Hopefully, she will become even healthier by end of dec

Thanks for sharing with us the awesome review

We're also happy and thankful Shishio is regaining her energy and health in such a short time

And yes, hopefully so.

Hi, do u have ready stock for DE?

Hi,

Thanks for your interest

Yes, ready stock is available.

This post has been edited by Fitrah: Apr 3 2012, 12:13 AM

Can i really feed this to my chicken to reduce the smell of their poop?

Thanks for your interest

You may spread the DE evenly inside the coop, dust bath areas, roost areas and in the runs/yards to help dry up the poop, which helps to also keep the fly population, keep the ticks away and the smell of chicken poo to a minimum.

So put around where they live and not inside their food ?

Yes, that's right. But you may also feed the DE as a supplement.

DE contains 15 trace minerals; calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, copper, zinc iron, phosphorous, selenium, etc. People note better overall health, better production, shinier coats, etc. in their animals who are fed DE regularly
