DiatomaceousEarth Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth – 10lb | 100% Organic, All-Natural Powder | Safe for Humans & Pets | OMRI Listed for Organic Use

We had a bedbug problem and I'm writing this review to help other people who might have the same problem. There is a great, earlier review of successfully using DE to get rid of bedbugs. I agree 100% with the strategy of putting DE down everywhere they could possibly be hiding and waiting them out for at least a few months. Yes, your bedroom will look awful with white powder all along the baseboards but it is, obviously, worth it. DE is inexpensive and non-toxic, which makes it better than any other application option. Note: we also purchased a steamer to try to kill the bedbugs. This was a very expensive option and I really don’t know how well it worked. I once steamed my bed, bed frame, floor, baseboard, everything, put clean sheets on the bed and woke up with new bed bug bites the next morning. So, no, from my perspective the steamer didn’t work. In addition to the great suggestions made by an earlier reviewing using DE, I also want to suggest putting DE across your bedroom's door threshold at the floor. Any bugs that crawl from other rooms will have to walk through DE and that will kill them. We did that early on when we were desperate to stop the problem as quickly as possible. A few months in, and no new signs of bedbugs, we cautiously vacuumed up the DE on the thresholds. In the meantime, I had put DE behind all outlet covers just to catch any that might be coming up through the walls. (Yes horrifying to imagine but apparently that's what they will do to find you sleeping soundly in your bed in the middle of the night). 2nd Tip: We have a "four post" bed. This means that there are only a few places where our bed touches the floor (at the four corners of the frame and a couple of supports under the mattress). After awhile, I realized that if I put DE just at the posts, it would force any meal-seeking bedbug to walk through the DE to get to us. This idea evolved into finding sturdy plastic cups to put the DE in (and NOT bed bug traps because they are either too flimsy or too shallow, and potentially unnecessary if my theory works. Plus, bedbug traps are really expensive. I picked up my plastic cups from the dollar store). I put about an inch of DE in the bottom of the cup and picked up the bedframe and put the bed leg into the cup. Voila! Instant bedbug killing machine! I am the “bait”, the bed legs are the "on ramp", and the DE is the poison on their way to the bait. Having confidence in this approach, and not seeing new signs of bedbugs, I vacuumed up the rest of the DE in the room and only had the cups full of DE at the bed posts. I also got into the habit of washing all the bedding on the hottest, longest wash cycle and the hottest dry cycle for at least 40 minutes on high. This DID work, or so it seemed. The highest heat from the dryer is supposed to kill the bugs and their eggs. Twice I made the bed after washing the linens this way, walked out of the room, walked back in and found a single solitary bedbug on top of the bedding (apparently crawled out from the seams or someplace) wiggling in the clutches of death. That was very satisfying, as I think you can imagine. By the way, the heat in the dryer has to be a certain temperature. I put a thermostat in with my bedding to test the dryer and it got hot enough. This was a regular residential grade dryer. If you want to be sure your dryer gets hot enough, you may want to do a search on the internet for this temperature (I forget what it is) and then test your dryer similarly. Nothing beats the peace of mind knowing the dryer got hot enough to kill those things! Another tip: use all white bedding so you can see the signs of bedbugs. Bedbugs leave tell-tale stains on bedding that look like dots made from a felt-tip marker. We usually found those marks at the corner of the bottom fitted sheets, on the underside that touched the mattress. The marks were almost always near the top of the bed, closest to where our heads are. It is very hard to get these stains out of sheets, unfortunately. That caused me to take photos of the stains so I could compare them with future inspections. By looking at the photos from a week earlier, or a few weeks earlier, I could see whether there were any new stains. As you can see, this was an IMPORTANT part of monitoring whether we had gotten rid of the bedbugs. After applying DE, you may want to leave the room for the rest of the day for the dust to settle so you’re not breathing it in. I found the dust mildly irritating but nothing more than that. And, we absolutely needed to cover the mattress, the box spring and the pillows with bedbug proof covers. We bought the SafeRest brand it has worked really well. After all that, you just have to wait them out (prepare for a few months, at least because of their life cycle and the need to be absolutely sure the problem is gone). Those horrifying bugs will die a slow and awful death due to walking through DE. You will have only spent a few dollars –although it takes a lot of work and time – but hopefully this approach will work for you too. GOOD LUCK!

Having realized in horror that I had a mild bedbug infestation confined to my bedroom, I researched for the most effective, natural way of getting rid of them (I was not in the market to spend hundreds, let alone thousands, of dollars on chemical toxins that might not work that well). This led me to this product, step one of my strategy. Step two required learning as much as possible about this pest. So here's how I got rid of them: 1- Set my alarm clock to 2:30 AM. Woke up at this hour to find that's about feed time for this critters (averaging between 1:30 and 3:30 AM), so I was able to spot the hiding places from where they came out to get their meal. Does not matter if you turn the light on, they still come out. I did this for a whole month to monitor how many kept coming out throughout the DE powder treatment. 2- Using a duster, I applied as thin as possible a layer of DE powder around and underneath my bed frame, as well as the trail I was able to track from the hiding places towards my bed. Basically half my room. I also used a bit of the dust on the rest of the floor and any of the horizontal surfaces in it, but mainly the area around the bed and the hiding spots. 3- Since it was, thankfully, the early summer days, I was able to sleep without covers throughout the weeks in which I did the treatment. All bed covers, blankets, pillow cases and the like were sealed in bags in which I also applied the dust. I kept those tightly sealed for a good 3 months. 4- By the second week, I had come across and killed close to 23 of the suckers, but began seeing some dried out remains of what looked like dead bedbugs, but these could also simply be shed skins from molting, so I still did not remove the dust. I was no longer being bitten. 5- By the fifth week the bedbugs were not coming out anymore, but I did not remove the dust. 6- Three and 1/2 months had passed and it seemed the problem was solved, yet this parasite had me so paranoid that I kept waking up in the wee hours to see if anything was making its way towards my bed from anywhere around the room. I looked around the hiding places and found several of the dried out remains of the bedbugs. Success? 7 - By the fourth month I got tired of having a room full of dust and felt confident that my strategy had paid off, so I vacuumed the room. Took out the bags with bed covers, blankets and the like and found some more dried out shells of former bedbugs, picked them out of there and then put all that stuff in the washing machine. 6- Five whole months had passed, and even though the bedbugs had long stopped coming out, the trauma of having had a bedbug infestation kept me waking up at dawn and turning on the lights for a few minutes form many months. But to date (that's April 2013) there is no sign of them anywhere in my bedroom or anywhere else in my apartment, and even spider beetles (which can sometimes be confused for bedbugs but are not blood parasites) have disappeared. My bedbug problem happened a year ago and I was able to solve it in a matter of weeks, but it took me this long to write a review of the DE dust solution because of the fact that bedbugs can last a year without feeding, so in a worst case scenario the problem could have reappeared. But with a full year of bedbug freedom, I am confident to recommend Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth as a natural pesticide that did a wonderful job while being extremely cheap and non-toxic to boot. I only had to use less than a quarter of the bag (in fact, the duster still has some left-over dust from the one and only time I sprayed it). Note, however, that an effective treatment of eradication requires diligence. These parasites can hide anywhere, so you have to do your best at identifying their hiding spots, learning their schedules and taking precautions to not let them spread out anywhere else. Also, I do not suffer asthma, so I had no problem sleeping in my room while the dust sat on the floor, but if you do suffer from any respiratory issues, I would suggest staying in a different room or a different residence if possible for a few weeks. Every once in a while I still apply the dust around the bed, just in case, and ever since I started using it, I've never felt any discomfort, irritation, or any health issues at all, so from my perspective, this stuff is harmless. Remember, too, that this is the FOOD GRADE Diatomaceous Earth, not the stuff used for swimming pool filters. Hope this helps.

I'd just like to thank those tiny diatoms for giving us this wonderful remedy. I've seen this powder in action against bed bugs, roaches, fleas, ants, and mites, and it works magnificently. There are a few things you need to know before you purchase this miracle powder. 1. It's messy. If you are using it for pest control, you will need a duster. I have the pest pistol mini duster that is sold on amazon. The duster allows you to distribute it effectively. Many insects will walk around it if you put it on too thick, so buying a duster is necessary. 2. Most people will find it irritates their respiratory system. After it settles, it will not be as bad, but you should wear a mask while dispersing it around your home. I would advise you to do it right before you're leaving your house, so that it will be settled when you get back. I have used it in my home with small animals, and though it may cause some sneezing among members of your home, I don't believe it will do any longterm damage. 3. It takes patience and time to see results. You will find that it can take a few weeks to eliminate the pests from your home, and at first it might stir them up. This powder kills them by puncturing their exoskeletons and dehydrating them, but they can never become resistant to this method of pest control. That is the beauty of it. 4. Apply liberally to your home. Your method will vary for each type of insect. ANTS They will change their paths, but be sure to apply around base boards, windows, doors, pantries, cracks between refrigerator and stove, and anywhere you see them traveling. It doesn't have to cover your whole house. FLEAS It is much more difficult because they jump everywhere. You are going to want some type of topical or edible flea treatment from a veterinary clinic in addition to this. The DE isn't effective against eggs, so there lies part of the problem. You need to let it sit on carpet and furniture for at least two days, and then you need to vacuum everywhere, even on hard floors. Washing all the blankets, sheets, pillowcases, or any type of fabric is also helpful. Repeat this process as needed. BEDBUGS You need to apply liberally to all corners, baseboards, closets, drawers, mattresses, chests, couches, chairs. If you put it on too thick, they will walk around. You need a bedbug mattress protector as well as powdering your mattresses. At first, when you apply the DE, they will start coming out of hiding places and crawling away, but just be patient. Washing all linens and vacuuming after letting the powder sit for a few days is also important. Repeating this process is necessary as they can lie dormant without feeding for 6 months! Also, they typically wait to feed until you are in your deepest sleep, and they can sense that by the amount of CO2 you exhale. Wearing bug spray will help keep them away. ROACHES These are by far the easiest pests to eliminate with DE. You will need to apply to baseboards, corners, dark hiding spaces such as drawers, kitchen areas, and entryways. You will find them dead everywhere after a few days. MITES Scabies or "the mange" is very difficult to eliminate. It requires application to animals directly, and washing of all linens. You'll need medication from a doctor if you have scabies as well. This will help eliminate the mites from your house though. I don;t know as much about these, but i do know that washing all linens and bagging up stuffed animals is vital. 5. MANY PEOPLE CLAIM THAT THERE ARE A MYRIAD OF HEALTH BENEFITS TO BE OBTAINED FROM INGESTING DE IN FOOD OR DRINK. There has not been a lot of research to prove whether this is true or not, but many people swear by it. I know there are claims of improving cholesterol levels, healing heart problems, preventing oseoporosis, and general detoxification of the body. I do know that the main element that provides these benefits is silica. Most western medicine professionals will not recommend any type of natural remedy, so your doctor is unlikely to suggest this. They have the drug companies in their back pocket. Do your research and decide for yourself, but silica is a very important mineral that aids in the absorption of certain vitamins. I hope that these tips have been helpful to you. I know having pests in your house is a nightmare, and you certainly can eliminate them with a combination of this diatomaceous earth, patience, and persistence. Good luck to you!

This stuff is hands down, the most amazing product I have ever come across. I notice a difference in my overall health when I use it. It takes me about three days to adjust to it. I do start to feel sluggish, tired, and I have runny stools, runny nose, and flu like symptoms around the third or fourth day but then everything becomes normal. I believe it is because the diatomaceous earth is detoxing everything from my body. I can't speak for anyone else but for me, it improves my digestive system, my nails, skin, and hair are much healthier, and I have a lot more energy. I notice the energy levels because I usually drink 2-4 cups of coffee a day but when I am taking the DE, I can only drink 1 because my energy levels are much higher. It also seems to curb my appetite and I don't eat as much, and I get full faster. It reduces the bloat and water retention I often have as well. I also use it for my dogs, they are on the same schedule as me. We take it for 30 days they we take a break for 30 days then back on for 30 days. They are so much healthier as well. They also experience some minor detox symptoms also - same as mine, runny stool, sluggish, and runny noses around day 3/4 but then it goes away and they have a ton of energy after that. We recently moved to TN and encountered a serious flea infestation and this was how I was introduced to DE. NOTHING we used worked! NOTHING! And I refuse to put any chemicals on my dogs. My poor dogs had flea bites so bad on their lower backs they were scabbed, and that was with daily bathing and combing. IT WAS INSANE! I would bathe them and literally watch the fleas run and hide inside their eyes, ears and anal area. I literally cried because nothing was working. I bought some DE and dusted them down and bathed them with organic, chemical free, flea and tick shampoo the next day. Every single flea on them was dead! I was amazed! I am not exaggerating, they were all dead! Then we dusted the house, floors, rugs, bedding, mattresses, closets, and furniture - yes, it was a dusty mess (use a dust mask and make sure nobody, including your animals, are in the house when you do it, the dust really does irritate eyes and nose) but it was better than dealing with fleas. After three days we vacuumed and washed everything. Additionally, we sprayed the fenced in dog area of our yard with a mixture of DE and water - every three days we treated the yard. It was a lot of work but well worth it because it got rid of all of them. You do have to work through the flea cycle though, so we dusted them down and let it stay on them for three days them bathed them - we did this for 8 weeks to make sure we caught all the the ones that may hatch from any eggs they laid. Vacuuming daily and washing bedding once a week also helped. I do keep some in their dog beds all the time now. It also got rid of our spider, cricket , hornet, and ant problem. That was a bonus because we were not expecting that. I told my neighbor about it because they moved here a few years ago and they have not been able to get ahead of the fleas in their yard, and their house since. They use the harsh chemicals on their dogs and still have problems. They treated their house, dogs, and yard, and have been flea free since. This stuff really works. You do have to maintain everything though. Just because it works doesn't mean it will prevent them from reoccurring. The only time we see a flea on our dogs now is when we take them to someone else house or to the groomer, or vet, where other pets may have them. However, we just got into the routine of dusting them down before we bring them home then bathing them the next day. We also use an herbal flea collar and herbal topical as a preventative. Like I said, it is more work but we refuse to use chemicals on our pets or on ourselves. Everyone is different but the only caution I have other then breathing the dust, is for my dogs, I don't leave it on them more then 3/4 days because it tends to dry out their skin and they get itchy, dry skin. The same with my skin, it will dry it out so after bathing them I rub some organic coconut oil into their skin and coat and works great.

Okay, so after finding I had a bed bug problem I decided to go the route of self extermination. I started my research, as most have done on Google. I tried baking soda, salt, rubbing alcohol; none of these seemed to have a noticeable affect. It wasn't until I searched amazon for bed bug treatments that I heard of DE. Before trying 'food grade' I went with SAFER brand from Home Depot. Now I should say that due to water, and electric bills skyrocketing we didn't exactly take the recommended percautions. We did how ever do a couple wash and dry runs through every bedding and clothes in the house while using SAFER brand DE from HomeDepot. We applyed one treatment on beds and in cracks of walls, and there was a noticeable change in the amount of bugs present during feeding times (1 am to 5-6 am), but not a cure. So, after a week of having SAFER brand DE in my house I realized that this problem wasn't going away anytime soon and ordered two bags of 'food grade' DE, for health reasons, and again went through another wash and dry of all bedding, vacuuming up old DE, And applying new 'food grade' DE to affected areas. This time however I decided to do a test as to the effectiveness of DE (FOOD GRADE ONLY). On my hourly nightly rounds through the house I caught a variety of of bugs ranging in stages of life from babies to full grown adults and placed them in a container (plastic) with a considerable amount of DE and let them crawl around in there. The first batch I couldn't tell how long it took for them to die they were covers in DE and I couldn't see their bodies. The second batch I used less DE and put two babies two adults and one 'teenager' in the container. Immediately upon touching the DE all bugs appeared to be distressed crawling frantic about (this pleased me far more then I think it should have). After twelve hours the babies were lost in the mix, all I could see was one DEAD adult and a teenager still struggling on his back, legs kicking, and covered in DE. Now I should mention that I didn't enclose the container so they didn't suffocate, it was the DE that killed him. So, DE does kill bed bugs. However, I have noticed that these little vampires are smart, and unless they crawl through the dust then it's all for nothing. And if you do get them to crawl through the dust then it's not going to kill them immediately. My next step in this fight was to limit hiding spots for these bugs, so I cleared out all unnecessary clothing, or cloth material, cleared out all debris from under all beds and moved everything to my shed out back. Once money is available I will encase all beds, and box Springs in a bed bug proof encasement. As for my review, its ongoing. But here's what I do know: 1. It's messy. Very messy 2. Is effective if used properly (still trying to figure this part out) 3. Drys the air out around you. If you are allergic to dust then you are in for hell on earth. 4. I would recommend this product to anyone with a bug problem. 5. Should not be used as a stand alone treatment.

Diatomaceous earth offers an alternative method for detoxing your body, one that is cheap, simple, and effective. It doesn't require fasting or foul-tasting health foods, and many people have used it with great success. DE's naturally absorbent and abrasive nature makes it an ideal internal cleaner. As it passes through your system, it absorbs harmful toxins, and it does this without requiring you to change your diet or lifestyle. How Do I Know I Need to Detox? Every day, we are exposed to harmful toxins like car exhaust, heavy metals, food additives, and cleaning chemicals. For the most part, our bodies are really good at cleaning out pollutants like these on their own, but sometimes they need a little extra help, and that's where detoxing comes in. If you chronically suffer from any of the symptoms listed below, it's probably time to detox your body: Food Cravings Inflammation Restless Sleeping Poor Focus Fatigue Skin Rashes or Outbreaks Constipation, Diarrhea, Bloating, Gas, or Other Indigestion Problems Mood Swings Headaches Weight Gain Body Odor or Bad Breath Allergies Aches and Pains How Do I Detox with DE? Detoxing with DE is easy. Simply follow these steps: Step 1: Take about one teaspoon of food grade diatomaceous earth with water once a day. Take it on an empty stomach at least one hour before or two hours after eating. DE is nearly tasteless, but if you don't like its mildly gritty texture, try taking it in juice, yogurt, or a smoothie. Step 2: Drink an additional cup of water after each dose of DE. Step 3: Over the next few weeks, slowly raise your DE dosage from one teaspoon to two teaspoons, taking one in the morning and one at night. We recommend taking up to a tablespoon per day. Step 4: Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout each day to keep your system hydrated. Step 5: In her book, All the Green Things You Can Do with Diatomaceous Earth, Tui Rose suggests taking DE ten days on and ten days off for ninety days, though many people have found different strategies that work for them. Some take it daily for a few weeks, others for years at a time. Experiment and see what works for you. How Can I Boost My Detoxing Power? While DE alone is a powerful cleanser, there are things you can add to your detox to increase your body's ability to clean itself out. Cut back on greasy foods, refined carbs, and refined sugars. These foods add the kind of junk to your system that you are trying to clean out with your detox. Reducing these foods in your diet will make your detox more effective and will help the benefits of your detox last longer. Get some exercise. Along with promoting overall health, working out helps your body eliminate toxins through sweat. Even going for regular walks can have great benefits. Breathe deeply. Good breathing habits provide increased oxygen to the bloodstream while helping to expel toxins. Mindfulness meditation is a great way to practice good breathing. How Do I Know My Detox Is Working? Initially, you may feel some side effects, such as headaches and flu-like symptoms. This is caused by the toxins leaving your body and is not cause for alarm. If these symptoms persist, however, lower your DE intake. This will slow the release of toxins and reduce the side effects. As you continue your detox over the next few weeks, whatever symptoms you have–the ones that prompted you to detox in the first place–should lesson or disappear altogether. Secondly, you should feel more energy and have better general health. After detoxing, many people feel like they have a new lease on life. A Cautionary Note Food grade diatomaceous earth is nontoxic and generally considered safe for consumption, but make sure you listen to your body. As mentioned above, side effects generally mean the detox is working–nothing to worry about. If your side effects persist, reduce your DE dosage to something your body is better able to manage. If after a few weeks the detoxing doesn't lesson your symptoms, it may mean that your condition is serious enough that you should consider going to see your doctor. Also bear in mind that while detoxing with DE can promote good health and reduce negative symptoms, it has not been proven to cure any diseases. Continue to consult with your doctor regarding any existing health conditions and follow his or her recommendations. DE also is known to kill bedbugs as well by dehydrating them. I strongly recommend the purchasing of this product and I give it 5 stars all the way!!!! ****** [...].******

While reading in bed one night, I noticed something crawling on the sheets…yikes; they were tiny ticks, known as seed ticks, the larval form a tick. My eight-year-old dog had never had ticks, so I wasn’t in the habit of checking for them. A little research informed me that these were brown dog ticks and that they hatched and set up residence in my home and on my dog. What to do? I refuse to use pesticides in my home or on my dog. The battle began. Of course I washed all bed linens in hot water and dried them in a hot dryer, several times. Here’s what else I did: 1. Groomed my dog with a clipper as short as possible. Using an LED headlamp, I did tick checks twice a day, pulled them off with tweezers and placed them in a bottle of alcohol. 2. Using a flashlight, I inspected the floors, baseboards, walls, and dog beds twice daily, picking up any ticks I saw. 3. I bought food quality diatomaceous earth (Amazon) and used a plastic ketchup dispenser bottle to place a line of it in the space between the walls and baseboards in the areas the dog frequents. I also used a flour sifter to distribute it around and under the dog beds. Some caution about this product. It can cause respiratory irritation so avoid creating dust and wear a good quality dust mask when applying it. A bigger problem is removing it. There shouldn’t be an issue with leaving it in place long term, so that might be an option. Vacuums with paper bags will not contain the find powder so they act as dispensers, pulling the DE into the bag and it then spewing it out the vent into the air, most definitely a breathing hazard. I am fortunate to own a small canister vacuum made and sold in Japan which uses a bag composed of something like Tyvek and also has a HEPA filter. It contained all of the DE within the bag with nothing exiting the vacuum. 4. A tick trap. I think this would have more useful had I known about it earlier in the battle. Take a small Styrofoam ice chest and make a few small holes in the sides just above the bottom. Place it on a square board and run a strip of double stick carpet tape along the borders of the board with the cooler in the middle surrounded my tape. Put 2-3 pounds of dry ice in the cooler and place it is an area where ticks are plentiful. It is best to do this when the room is unoccupied by dogs or people so it will be the only attraction. Ticks use carbon dioxide to locate hosts, so are attracted to the dissipating dry ice. They should approach the cooler and get stuck on the tape although we watched some crawl onto the tape and then retreat. We checked the area every 3 hours or so and picked up the ticks from the floor as they gathered around the area. 5. Essential oil shampoo and repellent. I made shampoo and repellent spray using essential oils ordered from Amazon. Flea and tick shampoo: 18oz dog shampoo (I like Oster Oatmeal Naturals available at Wal-Mart) or Dr. Bronner’s soap, 30 drops rose geranium oil, 30 drops oregano oil, and 30 drops lavender oil. Mix well. Wet dog and work shampoo into coat, especially paws and around ears. Massage and leave on 5-10 minutes. Rinse well. For repellent: 16 oz filtered water, 1 drop liquid soap, 30 drops rubbing alcohol, 30 drops rose geranium oil, 30 drops lavender oil. Shake well, place in spray bottle. Use on pet beds, furniture, clothing. It is supposed to repel mosquitoes also but I haven’t tested it for that purpose. These are the products I used: Oregano 100% Pure Essential Oil -1oz By Greenals, Rose Geranium 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil - 2oz, Lavender Pure Essential Oil 1oz (30ml)w/glass Dropper, all ordered from Amazon and fulfilled by GreenHealth. I was pleased with the quality of the oils, especially the rose geranium which can be offensive if poor quality. At the beginning of the infestation I was pulling about 30 ticks per day off my dog. These numbers gradually diminished as I added more weapons to my arsenal. It took about 2 months before I felt I had won the war even though I was still seeing a few ticks per week. I will continue to be vigilant with tick checks. It takes only one tick to lay eggs (they lay around 3000!) to start this cycle again.

Good product does the job and lasts a long time

As description

I use it to keep the ans away in my kitchen...

Wow, just wow. I didn't even knew that such a product could exists. The health benefits are crazy good. I bought the DE because i had worms. Lotsa worms and before going to the doctor i thought, hey lets go check online if there is something useful against worms. My first search in google got me this magical powder. Read a bit about it then i came to amazon to buy it. Mind you, i've been using it for only 1 week at 2 tea spoon a day. Here are the results i got: - The worms are getting killed all right. My 'region where the sun don't shine' has stopped itching almost completely(One of the worm sign). My mind is clearer, i have less fatigue and i can sleep a whole lot better at night. I get uninterrupted sleep, something i had not seen in years! I also seem to have lost my stomach ulcers. Before, when i woke up, i could not lazy long in bed because i got stomach pain, but now i somehow can lazy around all morning with no problems! DE make me lazy!!! ;-) - I'm a guy with a oily head. Always had that problem as long as i can remember. And of course, it itch all the time. Well after one week, bye bye oily head! Now it itch almost never and my hair have grown back or they became much thicker than before. After all the hair regrowth treatments and anti-itching skull products i've tried over the year who got me nothing, 1 week of DE get me results that must be seen to be believed. It's THAT good. And my hair somehow stay shiny. Even after 2 days without showering, they still look good. - My skin somehow looks better, especially in my face (But then, it's the part you watch the most). I wish i had known DE when i was 15 and full of pimples, it could have helped quite a bit with my greasy skin. - I have an acoufen (constant ringing in the ear) for years. Now it's almost gone. I can barely hear it anymore. I can't believe it how great it is to not hear that crap all day long! About the product itself: - I'm in canada and i bought on monday, they shipped on wednesday and i got it on friday. With the 'free shipping'. Very fast shipping. - The image of this product doesn't do it justice. You see a little bag and you say to yourself, bah 10 pounds is not a big bag. How very mistaken you are my padawan! This product is the same consistency as floor, so it is very very light. 10 pounds bag is a biiiig bag. Imagine a 10 pounds floor bag and you will be close to it. - The price is fantastic. I've checked a bit and for that much of the product, you pay very little. - The quality is godly. From the results i got in only 1 week? Yeah thats fantastic quality right there. - The product is non-toxic for humans (including children, babies even), pets, dolphins, elephants. But it kill all sorts of bugs plenty fast.

Received well ahead of time
