I just heard and read about this treatment, not in lyme context. Supposedly it is used as a detox Supposedly helpful for many things form thinning hair, bad nails, vertigo, insomnia, lessens gastro inflammation, metal detox, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, less fatigue. Has it any direct effect on lyme disease. Sounds like it might make you feel a little better

Some people do really well on it. I would suggest going VERY slowly. I began with 1 tsp and took it two days in a row.

I broke out in a horrble, painful rash all over my face and neck. I have no clue what caused it, but I won't try it again.

It may kill parasites .. could be what happened .. but ... not trying it again.

It took me time to get courage and take it. Many months, probably more. I then bought it and tried it. I could take LOADS of it, without any problem, but it didn't do any visible effect.

I stopped taking it for a while. Then took it again, I just feel it's like nutrition, basically.

I read that, to see its effect, you got to use it for longer.

I'm again on DE, trying on my cat and daughter. I am not taking it, just because I'm busy with a bladder infection.

It seems that, to see parasites dying in a cat, it takes about a month on daily intake. I'll let you guys know. Still too early to tell, she's still having live parasites....

I'm trying to see if it works better than chemicals for parasites.
