Diatomaceous earth (DE) Fossil Shell Flour has been reported in scientific literature to
absorb methyl mercury, E. coli, endotoxins, viruses (including poliovirus), organophosphate pesticide residues, drug residues, and harmful proteins,
perhaps even the proteinaceous toxins produced by some intestinal infections. Pyrethroid insecticide residues probably
also bind to diatomaceous earth, since pyrethrins from Chrysanthemum flowers bind to and are stabilized by this material.
The only brand of pure DE currently recommended is from Perma Guard. Perma Guard’s Fossil Shell Flour has been approved by
the FDA (as a 2% by dry weight food additive, as an anti-caking agent, or as a grain storage additive).
This page is set up for educational purposes and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or conditions. While the FDA and
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency have labeled it food grade, and approved diatomaceous earth for human and animal consumption. We receive many
success stories from customers who have been using diatomaceous earth in their diet and who are very pleased with the results.
