Both contain silica as well as traces of other minerals.
Diatomaceous Earth... helps cleanse toxins from your intestines and helps remove parasites from the intestines. It has a high crystalline silica content, (Just what Starseeds need). Diatomaceous Earth is used by holistic practitioners for detoxifying and cleansing the body. It is also supposed to kill internal parasites by abrading their bodies.
Silica is a semi-conductive mineral which when warmed by body heat becomes negatively charged and gives off electrons. These negatively charged mineral ions and/or individual shells attract bad microbes, free radicals, positively charged waste and other harmful things. Acting as magnets, the negatively charged shells and/or ions attract and absorb positive things that are small enough to go through the holes. Sugar molecules and toxins are trapped and excreted safely out of the body. Many harmful things entering the body have a positive charge. Because of the strong negative charge, each shell can absorb a large number of positively charged substances, whether they be chemical or in the form of bacteria or viruses. They pass on through the stomach and intestine, taking these harmful substances out of the body."-------------------
Calcium bentonite clay is in the smectite group of clays.
This is important because smectite clays are the only ones that absorbs
AND adsorbs toxins and impurities. Absorption is like a sponge, where
toxins are taken into the clay molecule. Adsorption refers to the
ability of toxins to attach to the surface area of the clay molecule.
These two actions together make smectite clays highly desirable. Bentonite is used in dieting because of its swelling tendency; It makes you feel full. Unlike
diatomaceous earth, bentonite clay and others in the smectite group have
this swelling potential, and do not allow water to filter through them.
Bentomite clay is also known as Calcium Montimorillonite Clay. Bentonite
is used in holistic medicine to absorb toxins such as mercury and selectively absorb bacteria, and germs. It’s a magnetic
clay that can absorb up to 6 times it’s weight. It absorbs and carries
toxins out of the system. Bentonite clay carries a strong negative ionic charge. Silica's vital force and strong negative charge is released into the physical
body and mingles with the vital energy of the body, creating a stronger,
more powerful energy in the host. Its natural magnetic action transmits
a remarkable power to the organism and helps to rebuild vital potential
through the liberation of latent energy. When the immune system does
not function at its best, silica stimulates the body’s inner resources
to awaken the stagnant energy. It supplies the body with the available
magnetism to run well. Clay is said to propel the immune system to find a
new healthy balance and strengthens the body to a point of higher
resistance.”
Bentonite can be used as a poultice on wounds. "Applied in compresses, it can speed up the healing process for sores and ulcers and aid in the rebuilding of healthy tissues and cells, and even of fractured bones and vertebrae.
A major health benefit of consuming calcium bentonite clay comes from its natural alkaline properties. At a pH of 9.7, the clay can help combat the overally acidic diets that many Americans have today. By adding calcium bentonite clay into your daily regime, you can give your body the extra edge and boost its natural healing abilities. Calcium bentonite clay detoxifies and cleanses the body by absorbing toxins and harmful bacterias as it passes through your body. According to our fan favorite, Dr. Oz, The more acidity you intake, the more loaded your mouth is with bacteria – which ultimately causes plaque, decay and bad breath. The sad truth is that the average American eats mostly acidifying food, with minimal alkalizing intake. Used in toothpaste, a bad tooth will actually hurt less and will remineralize eventually. Teeth do remineralize if you don't use tooth paste with Fluoride or Glycerin, and they will actually heal a cavity.
Marketed in various combinations, Red Lake Earth is a mix of 67% D.E. and 33% of Montmorillonite, or as we call it, Calcium Bentonite Clay. It is both Food AND Feed grade product.
Many animals in the wild ingest clay when they are sick. It’s a very powerful detox without the powerful detox side effects. It also has no taste.
Last of all, add fresh lemon juice to the water. Lemon juice is one of the most effective ways to keep your body’s pH level in balance and in an alkaline state. Bentonite clay also helps with pH levels. Simply drinking lemon water has a huge impact on pH levels. If you are highly acidic, your body is literally “rusting” away. You will have arthritis, bad arteries, and a whole host of other serious problems. Not only that, cancer cells thrive in an acidic state.
A heaping teaspoon a day keeps hair and skin shiny and healthy. It rids people and pets of parasites found in the digestive tract.
Is there a real difference between food and feed grade?
Food Grade must
not contain more than 10mg/kg of arsenic and no more than 10mg/kg of
lead.
Food grade and pool grade?
Pool grade DE is
calcined with very high heat that turns silicon dioxide into crystalline silica. It
can range from 60-70 percent crystalline silica. Food Grade
Diatomaceous Earth is less than 1% crystalline
silica.
Brownish-gray Diatomaceous Earth is Mixed with Bentonite
Red Lake Diatomaceous Earth is brownish-grey because, in
addition to diatomaceous earth deposits, it is also enhanced with
naturally occurring montmorillonite, or calcium bentonite).
