Diatomaceous earth (DE), also known as diatomite, diahydro, kieselguhr, kieselgur and Celite, is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of the fossilized remains of unicellular fresh water plants known as Diatoms.
The typical chemical composition of diatomaceous earth is 86% silica, 5% sodium, 3% magnesium and 2% iron.
The De has a high porosity, with lower density, larger surface area, strong absorption, good suspending performance, it has relative incompressibility and chemical stability without any poison and smell.
Therefore, the diatomaceous earth and its products are used as a filter medium, especially for swimming pools. It is also used to filter beer,wine,glucose,syrups and sugar. Other industries such as paper, paints, ceramics, soap and detergents use it as a filling material.
Diatomaceous Earth is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock that can be crumbled into a fine white to off-white powder. It has a particle size ranging from more than 3 m to less than 1 mm, but typically 10 to 200 �¼m.
Diatomaceous earth consists of the fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled microalgae. It is used as a filtration aid, a mild abrasive in products including metal polishes and toothpaste, a mechanical insecticide, an absorbent for liquids, a matting agent for coatings, a reinforcing filler in plastics and rubber, and an anti-block in plastic films.

Diatomaceous Earth is a soft powder formed from the fossilized remains of diatoms (a type of hard shelled algae). Its unique in couple of ways-
It has a very high silica content (which is used to build hair, skin and nails)
It is very hard (Hardness of 7 on Mohs scale)
.
The FDA classifies Diatomaceous Earth (food grade) as generally recognized as safe and is commonly used in things like toothpaste, as an anti caking aid, for clarifying beer or wine, or to eliminate pests naturally.
Diatomaceous earths unique structure makes it a great natural way to kill insects and pests (including intestinal), gently cleanse the digestive system, and improve hair, skin, nails, and teeth.
The strong negative charge of diatomaceous earth means that it naturally attaches to and removes from the body things like: chemicals, viruses, bacteria, heavy metals and even radiation.
Its sharp\ strong structure allows it to puncture the exoskeleton of insects on a microscopic level, causing them to dehydrate and die (while humans and animals are left completely unharmed).
Diatomaceous earth (DE) is recognized as safe for human and animal use, and food grade DE is considered safe for human consumption, even during pregnancy and nursing.
Uses for Diatomaceous Earth
At our house, we use DE regularly to help avoid parasites, to get rid of pests like ants or fleas, and to help improve hair, skin and nails. I also personally know people who have used diatomaceous earth .
