There is no life without Silica
!!
|
In 1939, the Nobel Prize winner for chemistry, Professor Adolf Butenant, proved
that life can not exist without Silica.
In the 2003 book "Water & Salt" Dr. Barbara Hendel states: "Silica it the
most important trace mineral for human health!"
Silica plays an important role in many body functions and has a direct
relationship to mineral absorption. The average human body holds approximately seven grams of
silica, a quantity far exceeding the figures for other important minerals such as iron.

Lets look at
some of the benefits of Silica:*
|
|
Lower High Blood
Pressure!
|
Of the thousands of people that are using Diatomaceous Earth,
most that have high blood pressure have reported that it has gone down. It has been so thrilling to
talk to people all over the United States and have them tell their stories. We are not just talking
a few points---we are talking about LIFE-CHANGING numbers. Doctors are amazed--customers are
amazed---You will be too. |
|
Lower high
Cholesterol!
|
Just as Diatomaceous Earth has been lowering blood pressure--it
has also been lowering cholesterol!!. I have not talked with one person that has high cholesterol
that has not had lower numbers after taking Diatomaceous Earth. Most are reporting 40-60 points
lower after only 2 weeks on DE. I know it sounds too good to be true, but it works! |
Feedback
from Diatomaceous Earth client
|
Just recieved this feedback from a user:
"I have been on DE for 6 months now and I just had my lab work done. My
triglycerides have been reduced from 495 down to 203. I have so much more energy and my hair
and nails are growing so much better. My husband has had High Blood Pressure and since being
on the dirt, his BP is now in the normal range. It has also helped with my varicose veins and
I no longer have any pain from them.."

My
joints feel so much better!!
|
Osteoporosis is a symptom of the aging process. As calcium in our body
system depletes, our bones become brittle and weak. Taking only a calcium supplement can not
correct or stop this threatening and crippling disease because the body cannot assimilate and make
use of the calcium without the presence of silica. Evidence suggests that, instead of affecting
healing, supplemental mineral calcium, on the contrary, accelerates the leaching away of bone
calcium and thus hastens the degenerative process of osteoporosis and similar diseases that affect
the supportive and connective tissues in the human body.
For osteoporosis, silica can stop the pain and
even restore the body's self repair process. Osteoporosis symptoms attack women primarily after
menopause but the degenerative process starts much earlier in their younger days. More women are
dying of fractures caused by osteoporosis than of cancer of the breast, cervix, and uterus
combined.
Silica is responsible for the depositing of minerals into the
bones, especially calcium. It speeds up the healing of fractures and also reduces scarring at the
site of a fracture. More and more research evidence shows that through a transmutation process,
silica is turned into calcium when it is needed. That is why some scientists refer to silica as a
precursor of calcium. Even when calcium is insufficient, the body can turn silica into calcium that
the bones need.

Natural
Weight Loss!
|
We have been getting hundreds of reports from all
over the United States that DE is helping people lose weight. Everyone is saying that DE
taken in the morning helps curb their appetite throughout the day. Just one more reason to
take it everyday!! |
|
Nature's Internal
Cosmetic!
|
In Europe and Asia Diatomaceous Earth is used extensively as a health and
beauty product for hair, skin, nails, bones, and joints. They have no FDA.
Tissue degeneration accelerates due to aging when connective tissue develops an
increasing inability to retain moisture when left unassisted. Silica can help slow the degenerative
process of connective tissue. With silica, vitality and life, which are often lost as the years
accumulate, can be naturally maintained or even restored to your skin. Collagen, largely made up of
silica, is the glue that holds us together. If our body has enough silica glucosaminoglycane, the
collagen will make us look younger. Silica helps with skin problems and injuries including itching,
rashes, abscesses, boils, acne, callouses, warts, eczemas, burns, frostbite, benign skin sores,
insect bites and bed sores.
If you regularly follow a silica regimen, your skin will keep its young look. A
good silica supplementation program works far better than other products for maintaining healthier
and longer lasting collagen.

Hair That
Grows!
|
Hair is nature's greatest beauty enhancer. Hair deserves to be pampered. Hair at
90 micrograms per gram is almost as rich in silica as are healthy bones, which contain 100
micrograms per gram. Silica is a major component of hair. Using a good silica supplement should be
part of your ongoing hair care program for revitalizing hair. Silica helps to prevent baldness,
stimulates healthier hair growth and assures beautiful shine, luster and strength. |
|
Teeth and
Gums!
|
By hardening the enamel, silica prevents cavities and preserves teeth. Silica
also prevents bleeding gums, gum atrophy, and recession that causes the loosening of teeth, which
could ultimately lead to tooth loss. Silica effectively fights ulceration and the decay of bones,
teeth and also lessens inflammation. |
|
Tough As
Nails!
|
Your nail plates are complex protein structures that grow four to five
millimeters per month on average. With silica supplementation, fragile nails become normal within a
short period of time. Silica will beautify the appearance of your nails and improve their hardness,
making them shinier and less prone to breaking.
The restorative effects of silica will be most noticeable on your hair, skin,
nails and teeth. Our skin and hair require silica essentially for the same purpose as do other
tissues. As we know, the supporting collagen underneath the skin enhances elasticity and beauty.
Collagen owes that quality to silica, which provides a beautiful complexion that is more than skin
deep.

More Benefits!
|
- Silica lowers bad
cholesterol and raises good
- Silica fades age spots
- Silica stimulates metabolism
for higher energy levels
- Diatomaceous earth has a negative charge and bacteria has a
positive charge. It is believed that diatomaceous earth sweeps bacteria out of the body by
trapping it in its honeycomb shaped skeletal form.
- Silica supplementation helps
repair and maintain vital lung tissues and protects them from pollution. By maintaining or
restoring the elasticity of lung tissues, silica reduces inflammation in
bronchitis.
- It acts as a cough decreasing agent.
Silica tones the upper respiratory tract (nose, pharynx, larynx) and
reduces swelling because of its positive action on the lymphatic system.
- Silica supplementation
keeps menopause free of stress and helps to prevent many unwanted side-effects of
menopause
- Silica works with other antioxidants to prevent premature aging and to
preserve youthfulness.
- Silica can help prevent
kidney stones and heal infections of the urinary tract. It is a natural diuretic which can
increase excretion of urine by 30 percent, thus flushing the water-excreting system and
restoring normal function to these vital organs.
- The presence of sufficient
silica in the intestines will reduce inflammation of the intestinal
tract. It can cause disinfection in the case of stomach and intestinal mucus and ulcers.
Silica can prevent or clear up diarrhea and its opposite,
constipation.
- Silica will help normalize hemorrhoidal tissues.
- In regulating and normalizing the bowels,
silica has a pleasant side effect; it can alleviate lower back pain, which often troubles
the elderly.
- Silica proves effective
with female discharge, abscesses and ulcers in the genital area and cervix, as well as
mastitis (especially for breast feeding mothers).
- The intake of silica acts as a
supportive treatment for inflammation of the middle ear. Because of the beneficial
effectiveness on the lymphatic system, silica can be used for swelling of the lymph nodes
in the throat.
- Has anti-inflammatory disinfecting, absorbing and odor binding effects.
- Silica can normalize
circulation and regulate high blood pressure (hypertension).
- Silica can decrease vertigo, headache, tinnitus (buzzing of the
ears) and insomnia.
- Silica can help diabetes by
promoting synthesis of elastase inhibitor by the pancreas.
- Silica can help arterial
disease by strengthening the blood vessels. Studies confirm that with age, silica
disappears from the aorta, the heart's key blood vessel, thus weakening its critical
connective tissue and resulting in a greater cardiac risk.
- Silica can help prevent Tuberculosis.
- By improving the elasticity of the joints,
silica helps rheumatism.
- Silica has inhibitory
effects on coronary diseases.
- Silica can help avoiding or alleviating Alzheimer's disease by
preventing the body from absorbing aluminum and may flush out aluminum from the tissues. Silica
can stimulate the immune system.

Dosage:
|
Daily silica needs of humans are 20-30 mg. In years past, our bodies
would get enough silica from our diet. Unfortunately, many of the foods we now eat have lost their
nutritional value due to soil nutrient depletion, food processing, and chemicals. Supplemental use
of Perma-Guard Diatomaceous Earth is essential to total body health.
In my studies and searches of the internet, people are taking 1 or 2 heaping
tablespoons of Diatomaceous Earth every day. Myself and my family take 1 heaping
tablespoon per day. We mix it with grapefruit juice.
Others are mixing it with water, soda pop, juice, or whatever liquid they
enjoy. Some are even putting DE in protein shakes, applesauce and yogurt. Perma-Guard Diatomaceous
Earth is Food Grade and very pure. There is no unpleasant taste.
Since it will not dissolve, stirring several times while drinking will
prevent settling. Some have experienced higher energy levels, so it is probably better not to take
it right before sleeping. No worry about getting too much--any excess silica not needed by the body
is automatically eliminated through the blood stream, kidneys and intestine.
