Instructions

• 1

  Make sure you use only food-grade Diatomaceous Earth to detox. This ensures that the product has not been chemically treated.

• 2

  Dissolve less than one teaspoon for every 100 pounds you weigh in a glass of pure water and take once a day. It can be taken for a period of months or years.

• 3

  Stir constantly as you drink, it as the substance does not dissolve easily.

• 4

  Drink plenty of pure water, juices and herbal teas throughout the day to help aid the detox process.

• 5

  Increase the dosage of food-grade Diatomaceous Earth over a number of weeks until you gradually reach two tablespoons per day. This will help prevent a reaction referred to as "healing crisis," which can happen during the detox process as the body tries to get rid of toxins at a rate too fast to dispose of them.
