Toxicity from mercury and other metals is a serious threat to modern health, but there are easy and accessible solutions that can help you regain thriving wellness!
We invite you to brush up on the series we are sharing about mercury poisoning and the very important detox process, as this information could very well save your life or the lives of your loved ones.
Educating yourself by doing your own research is fundamental! The more you learn, the sooner you might want to safely remove any amalgam fillings and any other sources of mercury exposure that could be making you sick.
Then, we encourage you enhance your elimination pathways and fortify your diet with nutrients that are especially important to a mercury poisoned body.
With your body well supported, we recommend a tasty detox smoothie to enjoy daily to help pull and eliminate mercury from your system.
We want to remind you that pulling mercury and other undesirables out of tissues is only part of the equation; safe passage through elimination channels is another important part of the detox process so the free chemicals don't redistribute in other parts of the body. Atlantic dulse flakes are great for this, which is why we recommend them in the delicious daily detox smoothie.
We're all about options - as there is infinite potential in life - especially when it comes to health and wellness! So today, we present another powerful substance that is not only well known for its ability to bind & flush metals, but has dozens of other uses around the house and home too!!
This wonderful substance is DIATOMACEOUS EARTH!
Diatomaceous earth (DE) is mined from ancient seabeds and waterways; it is made up of the fossilized remains of ancient phytoplankton called diatoms.
Here's how it's hypothesized to bind metals:
Metals are generally positively charged. The ground up bodies of diatoms are high in silica, giving DE a negative charge that attracts metals to itself. Metals bond to DE and get trapped in its honeycomb structure, which gives the body plenty of time to flush out the water soluble DE before the metals break apart and resettle elsewhere.
The fact that DE is water soluble means you cannot "overdose" on it either; it will simply be eliminated by the body. It is recommended to drink plenty of water when taking DE so you don't get constipated.
*****This is important: we recommend only FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH for internal use - other grades are available, but are not respected as safe for ingestion.*****
How to Use Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth to Detox Mercury & Other Heavy Metals
Stir 1 teaspoon of food grade diatomaceous earth in 4 oz of water or juice a day. Start with 1 teaspoon and work up to 1-2 tablespoons over a week or two.
Because of the potentially unpalatable texture, many of us @gardenofeden prefer to make a small "shot" of it in a little liquid rather than to put it in a large glass...it's not exactly one for savoring, but you can try it in your detox shake if you like!
Be sure to take plenty of water throughout the day to avoid constipation.
And that's not all: DE not only binds to metals, but has been shown to be super safe, effective, gentle, and CHEAP for many other uses in the body & around the home:

- How to Use Diatomaceous Earth to Rid Your Home, Garden, and Pets of Fleas!
- How to Use Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth to Eliminate Parasites in Humans and Animals

- How to Use Diatomaceous Earth to Safely Kill Bed Bugs in Your Home
Because we experience and witness the many amazing benefits of FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH and believe everyone deserves access to affordable healthcare, we are proud to offer FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH by donation towards a better world for ALL!
And because it's worth repeating, here's the easy recipe for a DETOX SMOOTHIE:
Ingredients:
- 1-2 cups of organic mixed berries; raspberries (which help also kill candida and mold), blackberries, etc.
- 2 cups wild blueberries
- 1 cup cilantro
- 1 cup orange juice (optional for extra vitamin C)
- 1 tsp barley grass juice powder
- 1 tsp spirulina
- 1 small handful of Atlantic dulse
- Optional: water to blend
Directions:
- Blend all ingredients until smooth. Add water to desired consistency.
Notes:
- Chlorella can be taken separately as tablets or blended in as powder.
- If you are having too many side effects from detox and/or feel it is too much for your body to handle, then cut the ratios of each item in your smoothie and try again.
We hope this will inspire you to do additional research and work towards the best possible health for yourself!

Diatomaceous earth can also be contaminated with heavy metals especially aluminum. So that is why it should only be taken if it is food grade so it is more likely to be tested for them.
The high silica content of diatomaceous earth can prevent the contaminating aluminum from being able to be absorbed but make sure not to have a slow bowel transit time or you increase your chances of absorbing the contaminates.
Indeed as we say it is VERY IMPORTANT that it be food grade DE!
As the son of a father that has metal poisoning, thank you!
It's our pleasure to share potent, valuable information! Many blessings to your family for a safe and quick healing. We have people living here now who are dealing with the same issue and will continue to share more about health!
I learn something amazing every day on Steemit. Never even heard of Diatomaceous until 10 mins ago. Thanks for sharing this!
You're welcome! Diatomaceous earth is great stuff!
Really glad to see this post with all the importance posts on mercury of late!
Yes may many more be helped!
Thanks for the reminder about DE. They sell it in bulk at my local health food store.
I do want to emphasize EXTREME caution in the amount one takes at the beginning. Start with less and work up in time as the detox effects can be intense if you take too much at first.
Also, make sure it is food grade and not pool grade which is found in hardware stores in the US.
All good advise, and make sure not to breath it in. The powder form is not good for the lungs when inhaled.
Yes we add the large disclaimer that it is very important to consume only FOOD GRADE DE!
Cool Deal! Totally forgot I have a 5 lb bag in the house! Thanks for the post, thusly reminding me :) Have a good one!
I would make sure that it is food grade.
It is. bought it specifically for this purpose. Also had a dog at the time so dual purpose. Dusted her as well.
Already making use of it in multiple ways!
Yes very important that it is food grade if you want to use it internally!
Great there are so many uses for DE that we recommend keeping some on hand.
Great to know. Does it actually remove metals from the brain or just the body? I know the blood brain barrier make it difficult to remove toxins from the brain. I have a daughter who may have some mercury poisoning. I haven't had any tests done, but I suspect.
Yes even from the brain. We are here to save lives and already have saved many!
Nice fantastic post Happy 2018 Contribution comment#

Glad to see this post! As our world continues to expose us to unwanted toxins, knowledge like this remains priceless. I have used DE for insects invading my home, but have yet to use it for personal detox. Was also pleased to see the mention of Chorella. Was curious though if Bentonite clay or activated charcoal might also be of help. To a cleaner, healthy future to you all this year! Cheers!
Yes they are both of help when properly used as are MANY natural medicines!
The truth we try to share is not ONE way but the natural way of infinite solutions!
I had no idea that DE has so many uses, great to learn about this wonderous mineral!
This is an excellent well needed article. Educating the masses. The air is so polluted with mercury from the chem trails, that it has been discovered that this is one of the main contributing factors to demensia and alzheimers. Thanks you and encourage other to read and practice this.
Do you have any ideas on how to easily test for the amount of mercury poisoning in your body? We don't have many holistic practices near us.
No I personally do not but a good friend of mine is a holistic practicioner I will ask and get back to you.
Thanks. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to take it any case, but I want to know if we should be diligent about it.
It's amazing how natural options are really good for so many things--not just one purpose. DE is really a valuable addition to a holistic life. Thanks for sharing.
Huh ...I wonder if this would help because I have a severe nickel allergy, such that I have to eat a low nickel diet or I constantly am flaring up. I'll have to look into it. I already have two buckets of food gradw DE because I used it on the carpet years ago to get rid of the cloth moth larvae that were making their cocoons in the carpet under the furniture ...yuck. It worked but was hella messy to clean up and killed a vacuum filter. XD
