DIATOMACEOUS EARTH
(FOOD GRADE)

FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH (DE)POWDER (Fossil Shell Flour)is safe and nontoxic and destroys intestinal parasites physically by injuring them. The shell particles of the DE are sharp enough to cut the parasites but are not harmful to humans and animals. DE is a natural and safe way to kill parasites without chemicals.

General Description: Parasitic infections arise from the intrusion worms that live in the intestinal tract of the body. Worm parasites are more common than most people expect, and they are listed as The Center for Disease Control’s #1 Health Risk. According to numerous studies, nearly 85% of Americans have parasites in their bodies such as: • Roundworms, ascarids, hookworms - contagious intestinal parasites with the shape of an earthworm but of smaller size • Pinworms - appear as short white threads of 1/3 inch length or shorter and are the most prevalent worm problem for young children • Tapeworms - are from one inch to thirty feet in length and may live in the body for up to 25 years • Protozoa, flukes - other names for types of roundworms.
Potential Causes: Parasites may enter via the mouth, the skin, and the bottom of the feet. They may be found in contaminated soil, vegetables, meat, watercress, feces, and the worm eggs may become airborne. The eggs or larvae are often ingested in partially and uncooked foods. Some Possible Symptoms and Effects Symptoms may vary depending on the type and amount of infestation. The worms may go undetected for years with no apparent symptoms, or they may be seen in the stool. Infestations may be severe or mild and can be life threatening, especially for children. A common side effect is the POOR absorption of critical nutrients for growth potentially leading to anemia, growth problems, and a weakened immune function creating susceptibility for disease. According to numerous books, parasites are commonly found in people with AIDS, chronic fatigue syndrome, candidiasis, and many other disorders. Symptoms may include abdominal pains, diarrhea, anemia, cardiac insufficiency, nausea, perianal & perineal pruritis, dysentery, amebic hepatitis, weight loss, intestinal toxemia, colic and cirrhosis.

• Pinworms - may cause sever anal itching, insomnia and restlessness. These worms tend to migrate out through the anus at night to lay eggs.
• Hookworms - may cause the soles of the feet to itch, and possibly bloody spit from the mouth, fever, rash, and loss of appetite.
• Threadworms - may cause coughing, abdominal pain, diarrhea, gas, and itchy red abrasions on the anus.Tapeworms - may cause weight loss, abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.
• Ascarids - may cause ascariasis with bloating, stomach pain, vomiting, and breathing difficulties,
• Microscopic Roundworm - may cause trichinosis leading to muscle damage and complications of the cardio and neuro systems.

Ingredients: Diatomaceous Earth is a fossilized deposit of microscopic shells created by one-celled plants called Diatoms. These plants inhabit all the waters of the earth, and serve as the basic food for aquatic life, just as grass is the basic food for land animals. LifeThread's Diatomaceous Earth has been designated as food-grade and comes from fresh water sources.
