Our Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is 89% Silicon

Dioxide (SILICA)

There is no life without Silica. In 1939, Nobel Prize

Doctor Butenant proved that "life can not exist without

Silica". In the 2003 book "Water & Salt" Dr. BarbaraHendel states that "Silica is the most important trace

element in human health". Silica plays an importantrole 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 suchas iron.

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 aretalking 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!Just recieved this feedback from a user:

"I have been on DE for 6 months now and I just had mylab 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 painfrom them.."

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 cannot 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 mineralcalcium, 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 theiryounger days. More women are dying of fractures caused

by osteoporosis than of cancer of the breast, cervix, anduterus 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 whencalcium is insufficient, the body can turn silica into

calcium that the bones need.

Teeth and Gums!

By hardening the enamel, silica prevents cavities and

preserves teeth. Silica also prevents bleeding gums, gumatrophy, and recession that causes the loosening of teeth,

which could ultimately lead to tooth loss. Silicaeffectively 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 theappearance 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

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 reducesinflammation 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 preventpremature aging and to preserve youthfulness.

Silica can help prevent kidney stones and healinfections of the urinary tract. It is a naturaldiuretic which can increase excretion of urine by

30 percent, thus flushing the water-excretingsystem 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 hasa 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 treatmentfor 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.

DOSAGE:

Daily silica needs of humans are 20-30 mg. In yearspast, 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, foodprocessing, and chemicals. Supplemental use of Perma-Guard Diatomaceous Earth is essential to total bodyhealth.

THE SILICA CONNECTION

"Next to oxygen, silica is the mostabundant mineral on our planet, makingup more than 25% of the earth's crust!After all the evidence of what DE doesfor animals, wouldn't it do the same forhumans? The evidence we are beginningto see says yes!"

On land, the basic food for all animals isgrass. Those animals that do not eat grass,eat the animals that do eat grass. The silicacontent of all living organisms is linked withthe diet. Silica is highest for the pure planteaters and lowest for the pure meat eaters.

Medical researchers suspect silica may benutritionally important but its function in thehuman body is poorly understood owing tovery little research. For most people,

awareness of silica is limited to computerchips and breast implants, despite the fact it

is found widely in sand, quartz and clay, andeven in gemstones of amethyst, jasper andopal.

This noncrystalline silica (food-grade) isnot a hazard as the human bodyapparently can dissolve it. "Silicosis refersto lung contamination and irritation bycrystalline or free silica (SiO2). Crystallinedescribes the orientation of the SiO2

molecules which occur in a fixed pattern incontrast to the nonperiodic, randommolecular arrangement defined asamorphous.

Fossil Shell Flour Diatomaceous Earthconsists of amorphous silica. Silicatransmits electricity, light and heat.Diatomaceous earth (DE), a white,cornstarch-like powder of finely groundfossilized algae consists of about 79% silica

and at least 14 other valuable minerals.

Silica is necessary for the formation ofcollagen, for bones and connectivetissue, for healthy nails, skin and hair,and for calcium absorption.

"Silica is essential to animal health. Absenceof silica results in bone and collagenabnormalities. Further, research onhumans shows silica increases the

thickness and strength of skin,diminishes wrinkles and gives hair and

nails a healthier appearancbenefits accrue without any anegative side effects."

*Cancer occurs mainly in middle and olderages at a time when the human body contain

less silica. Silica especially influences thedegenerated white blood cells of cancer

patients, activates the regeneration ofnormal protein and increases the immunesystem against cancer. Silica helps supportthe healing process.

Some Human Studies: "In this study, apotential influence of food gradediatomaceous earth to lower bloodcholesterol was investigated. During 12

weeks we monitored serum lipidconcentrations in 19 healthy individuals witha history of moderate hypercholesterinemia.Individuals administered orally 250 mg.Diatomaceous earth three times daily duringan 8 weeks observation period. Serumconcentrations of cholesterol, high-densitylipoprotein cholesterol, low-densitylipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerideslevels were measured before study entry,every second week during the period of

diatomaceous earth intake and 4 weeks afterstop of intake.

Diatomaceous earth intake was associatedwith a significant reduction of serumcholesterol at any time point, reaching aminimum on week 6. Also low-densitylipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levelsdecreased. Four weeks after intake ofdiatomaceous earth was stopped, serumcholesterol, low-density lipoproteincholesterol and triglycerides still remainedlow and also the increase of high-densitylipoprotein cholesterol became significant."

outbreak that killed four people in Seattle inJanuary 1993. (The source of infection wastraced to a single fast-food chain.) Thebacteria seeps through the damaged lininginto the bloodstream. Kidney failute occurswithin four to five days. Antibiotics areineffective: they work by rupturing thebacteria, which only accelerate the spread ofthe toxin.

The University of Alberta has devised a wayto stop the toxin in its tracks. They havecreated a decoy that holds off the toxin untilthe body can build up anti bodies to thebacteria, which takes about a week.Armstrong's decoys are made of sugarmolecules. Each decoy is joined to a bit ofdiatomaceous earth porous sand thatconsists of the tiny skeletons of diatoms,which are a type of plankton. When thepatient drinks the gritty fluid containing the

decoys, the toxin molecules bind to thedecoys and are then excreted along with theindigestible (diatomaceous) sand particles.

The decoy has already been tested onhealthy volunteers with no ill effects. Inclinical trials now under way in Canada, it isbeing used to treat children infected withtoxic E. coli. (Children are particularlyvulnerable to the toxin, apparently becausetheir kidney cells carry more receptors for it

than do the kidney cells of adults.)
