You can easily start lowering the toxic load with DE and may thereby not find mold to be such a bother. I take it every day and find it most beneficial. I replenished my supply recently with ten pounds for ten dollars and shipping. Taking by the teaspoon it will last me years.
I also use it in my garden and have not researched it for mold, but who knows. It works on so much else.
Don't overlook DE.
Take care.
More Reported Benefits Of Diatomaceous Earth:
�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 tissue and protects them from pollution. By maintaining or restoring the elasticity of lung tissue, 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.

Linnada, I take 3 teaspoons in the morning and the same at night. I is easily dissolved in juice or water. You may want to start with less.
Since it is working great as a binder, taking it 20 min before meals and at night before bed helps catch the toxins that often make us wake up feeling miserable in the morning.
Birdie67, I got mine via the link I posted above, but ordered it through Amazon.
It is amazing stuff. Just make sure you absolutely get "food grade".
I am still detoxing metals right now and it works super for that. The metals end up in the stool instead of in some other spot in the body.
Read up on it. There is a lot of info on the different sites that sell it.
Dr. K. always talks about the lack of silica that we all have today - it was different when we were still digging in the earth aborbing it from the ground. DE is full of it.
Just learn to adjust to the amount - start with less and increase. Until the action in the bathroom is just right!
Best wishes and take care.

Thanks for the post. Based on one of your previous posts my Chiro tested me for parasites. I tested very weak meaning I must have a lot of them!!! So I order the DE.
However, I took it for about 2 weeks, 1 heaping teaspoon twice a day, and got really plugged up. I got the food grade from Amazon. I did the research and think it is a great complimentary treatment.
How can I avoid getting plugged up? It was so bad I had to drink 12 ounces of Mag Citrate to get going again. This was not an issue before I started using the DE but I know it could be something else but odds are it is the DE.
All the Best, MattH

Parasites can plug up your whole system. Nothing works well in the digestive/gut department because the parasites take away before you get the goodies. There are teas and pills to get things moving. Don't assume that you are getting the toxins out unless you have good bowel action. No healing can take place until things work in that department. It all starts in the gut!
I don't know of any support that is better than DE. Please don't nix it before you give it a try. It has been used for decades in Europe and before pharma offered us all their remedies. I can go several times a day, with DE, but it takes a while to work toward that goal. The easiest evacuation you have ever seen once your body gets the hang of it!
Toxic metals definitely are departing with DE - absolutely no doubt. I make the effort of testing it several times by expert testers.
Reabsorbing and redepositing any toxins brings you nothing toward improvement. You are only shifting the misery from one place to the next. I did that for years before I finally figured it out. All the detoxing efforts are useless until you assure that the toxins are coming out the other end. Stool is best.
Take care
P.S. this is one I want to shout from the city marketplace, there is not much better for so little effort and money.

"Common deficiencies in Lyme: magnesium: has to be given transdermal or via injection. Oral Mag feeds spirochetes"
Why is this?
Can anyone answer?
I need to start taking magnesium and just ordered some oral ones. I'm beginning cipro soon.
