I'd like to add that animal feed will often HATCH if stored to long (Corn bugs, moths , etc.)... I put lots of Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth mixed in the bags/containers .... same with bird seeds It helps kill the bugs & help kill the parasites in the animals as well ,
I spent quite some time TRYING to figure out the brand. I bought it at a little hardware store that went out of business & taken over by a dollar tree. I bought 2x 50lb bags, used most of it ASAP & put the rest in a tote. Bags got tossed out. One bag was for outside bug killin & one was for food stuff.
Food stuff= in coffee every morning for a few months. ..... NO tell tail signs of critters being evacuated.
And I tried it my teeth brushing regime, but honestly, I already made a paste outta charcoal, baking soda, sea salt, peppermint & coconut oil, so I couldn't tell any difference either & left it out of any batches there after. My DE smells "Earthy"
What it DID do is completely obliterate a termite infestation in my big ole smoke tree.
It also helped with the brown recluse spider problem in my breezeway & attic..
I used it in my garden for slugs, but as to not harm other critters, I made a fatty line AROUND the garden ...this really didn't noticeably help. but I didn't keep up on the every 2 hours dusting as suggested. Operator error.
Nor did it help get the queen ants out of the big ant hills....But BORAX & SUGAR water mix did.
The brand that I got said that there is a ratio of the ninja knife blades to just the mineral powder that makes it safe for humans. Food Grade in the industry means only that it is ground to a certain mesh-size and that you can feed it to farm animals - NOTHING MORE!
So although they market Food Grade like they do 'natural' or 'organic' its all bullshit. Organic can be 50% 85% or 100%. If you don't ask they don't tell.
good news on the tree related to poison ivy. Anacardiaceae.
You just proved the contention that it may not have any effect whatsoever in the human gut since if it gets wet outside it loses its ability to function. Except for 80% of the constipated world with impactions most peoples' guts are wet.
Ants that walk through it will be affected but it will have no effect whatsoever on the colony. The reason for baiting with sugar is so that they bring the borax back to the hive, feed it to the workers and queen and the colony dies.
THEY will LET you BELIEVE anything you want, but if you went to the USDA to see how they define ORGANIC then you might think that it wasn't good enough back before they CHANGED the rules so that now GMOs can be let into the mix and they don't have to be labeled because they were CRISPR but not the earlier technologies. This is why independent certification groups arose. natural doesn't mean jack shit.
Its because every once in a while someone in the industry will tell you the truth if you push hard enough. What I didn't include was that there was no GUARANTEE OF PURITY EITHER. It was just that it passed a certain mesh size and was allowed for animal feed.
Next you get into the classifications of Technical Grade, Reagent Grade, and Pharmaceutical Grade chemicals. Each one has their own caveat.
Have you heard the brand the clay cure that one i use wondering if that one any good now. And thats just grossed me out cause some flour at work got left to long and when they went to throw there was little bugs in come from nowhere
I just picked up any random brand. from a Ma Pa hardware store.....FOOD GRADE.
Diatomaceous Earth. Sorry, I tossed out bags.
BUT, It's worked in Every seed, nut , grain situation I use it in,
Yep, Flour hatches. But it's preventable. :)
Are you talking about CLAY? The only clay I ever use is AZTEC SECRET Indian healing clay. 100% Natural Calcium Bentonite Argile (verte)
Great for bug bites, rashes & other skin issues. Says do NOT take internally..... But I've heard it used that way. I personally use activated charcoal for internal poisonings.
Yeah that diatomaceous clay yeah they all say not to take internally but also hear lots of people do. Gonna look for the aztec secret clay now! We okay thankyou made it through another day. Hope you are good to!!
Diatomaceous Earth is OK to take internally..... It didn't get of parasites in me...BUT it won't harm you IF you want to lace your food with it to control BUGS.
The bentonite clay is for EXTERNAL use , But some folks DO take it internally. (I have not)
Glad your OK ( we don't have high expectations)
,I'm doing awesomely....IF awesomely is THIS Lol :)
Okay so probably wont help for parasites. And will lace food with it now know that helps thanks so much for sharing this with me. Yes not high expectations! Very happy to hear somebody is doing awesomely ♥️
Well, THAT is the thing...Other people had luck digesting it, Just Not Patrick or myself. I know it works on critters we CAN see, Maybe it helped with microscopic parasite eggs? I dunno fer sure.
All Diatom Earth does is take off the exoskeleton of the critter so it dehydrates to death & dies.
Food is a very interestingly parasitical THING to begin with.
Bananas ALWAYS produce fruit flies...WHY? The EGGS were in it already.
Flour can either be pre-contaminated or if you look for TINY holes at the bottom of the back some beetles can bore through the plastic and lay their eggs.
A large sector of the BENTONITE market is mined by Halliburton.
It is used to seal drill holes and the bottoms of retention ponds so it is the absolute worst thing you could consume. I don't even mess with clay internally because even if you knew the gut-friendly kind they play with the names so that you could never trust the source. They claim that clay binds toxins. So does Psyllium and Charcoal. Psyllium has the risk of allergy in some people and husks can tear up your bowels so I use powder. I've never known charcoal to have any downside but all of these will bind to vitamins, minerals, and drugs so you have to not be an ass when you use them.
Clay is claimed to be good for weight loss. I don't doubt it. If you use the stuff to seal well bores and ponds it will prevent ANYTHING from being digested.
nearly everyone I know who is on a psyche drug has been on them for decades. Grannie Annie's life was ruined by them after 40 YEARS! If you read the drug info or the PDR you are not supposed to be on them for more than 2 weeks.
nearly everyone I know who takes laxatives has been on them for decades. The packages say: do not take for more than 2 weeks.
Seeing a pattern here?
So if you take psyllium and/or charcoal it will bind to ANYTHING in the gut and take it out of commission. I have to regularly remind people that if they are taking food or supplements then they just wasted their money if they take the glue less than 2 hours before or after a meal. If they take it close to drugs then they will have put themselves in danger due to it taking the drugs out of commission.
Now the thing that I like about the alterNOTive bastards is that they will have some concoction with psyllium or CLAY or some other nonsense including charcoal and put in 'beneficial herbs' or vitamins or minerals or whatthefuckever. As I just outlined those additives will be NEUTRALIZED BY THE GLUE.
I could teach this to a turd grader and they would laugh the health 'experts' out of the room.
Well done, Thank You.

Reminds me of a Three Stooges skit where Curly opens his wallet and a bunch of moths fly out and he pulls out a shredded dollar.
I've used DE without success in beans inside a sealed jar. What brand do you use?
I've tried it internally but no monsters came out.
I've brushed with it but no tooth miracles. It smells like fermented cucumbers.
Three Stooge's skit. Nice !

Thankyou for letting us know what food grade really means. A
And so natural and organic dont really mean what we think they do either

It all language play??? And most of us take it at face value? How many bloody grades are there?!

See whatcha learn carousing the comment sector?
I Had NO FREAKIN CLUE!
⚠ DO NOT be an ass when using charcoal or Psyllium
Will steal your drugs, vitamins & minerals.
How do I even exist?
I'm too stoooopid for this game.
