As some of you know, I am an RN, who now does health counseling and coaching by phone. I frequently speak to people who choose not to take the medications prescribed to them for conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol, preferring to take natural/herbal remedies or supplements. Although I am certainly more knowledgeable about Western medicine, I have no problem with other treatments, wherever they may originate, as long as they actually work. I am getting more familiar with certain substances, like cinnamon and red rice yeast (or maybe it’s red yeast rice?), but recently had a patient sing the praises of food-grade diatomaceous earth, for either blood pressure or cholesterol treatment. Does anyone have any knowledge of this, used to treat medical conditions? I did some online searching, but mostly found gardening or insect control info, and the food-grade info was limited to sites that sold the stuff, so not exactly unbiased material.
Thanks,

While looking for a ‘natural’ way of flea and parasite control, I’ve been doing a pretty ‘in depth’ study of the ‘food grade’ diatomaceous earth.
For ingestion by either human or animal, the FOOD GRADE is the most important thing to remember here. There are ‘lesser’ grades for treating the lawn, treating building perimeters and for swimming pool filters.
Now, I’m a ‘naturalist’, more interested in the ‘prevention’ rather the ‘chemical cures’ of today’s medicine. Just seeing the list of ’side effects’ listed on each drug on the market is frightening.
I’ve been really impressed with the pureness of diatomaceous earth…and what I’ve found really makes sense.
WHAT IF diseases like cancer are actually the result of some type of parasite infestation? It’s possible, seeing the quality of the foods we buy and the ‘recalls’ of beef and other products that are found to be unfit, unhealthy or containing salmonella, melamine or other harmful ingredients…both sickening and killing people and pets…
The ‘food grade’ diatomaceous earth is a pure and natural product of the sea…ground fossils. Although, to the touch, it feels like a very soft powder, to the insect or parasite, it is like ‘walking/crawling over ground glass’. It cuts into their skin and kills them.
Considering the cost of Frontline for flea/tick control on our cats and dog…$122.00…(which made 5 of my pets extremely sick for 2 days) and the cost of insect control for lawns and the veggie garden…the DE is a bargain. I just received an order, 2, 5 lb. bags for $28. including shipping.
I have been ‘powdering’ the cats and dog (carpet and pet bedding) and the flea population is nearly zero. The ‘bonus’ is, when the cats ‘groom’ they are ingesting it and being cleansed of any parasites like tapeworm, etc.
Large cattle farms add DE to their grain/feed, not only keeping the feed free of insects but curing any internal problems caused by fly eggs, etc.
Personally, I haven’t started sprinkling it on my oatmeal yet…LOL…but, with a little more research, I might <:O)
It may be a ’stretch’ to say ingesting DE will control blood pressure and/or cholesterol UNLESS it can be proven that these health issues can be traced back to parasite infestation in the blood stream, affecting the heart, clogging and narrowing the arteries, etc. What about the possibility of parasites being responsible for Alzheimers and ADHD ????
It’s a very interesting study and the possibility of DE being a great preventive and cure is pretty high, but I’d like to see more research done on it, because it really makes a lot of sense. <:O) Helen
I am a 49 years old man and I have had high blood pressure for about three years now. I am starting to develop a secondary ailment though. Is poor blood circulation a major problem and how do you fight it? Is there any type of food or natural treatment for it? I live in a country with high temperatures and I fear I am heading for a major discomfort this spring since the problem just keeps on growing.
Here i s an excellent site with some wonderful options for you. It will definitely help you. Have a look. http://webmd64.notlong.com/AAsUip4
Spider veins are veins that usually appear in the leg and look like spiders are actually in the leg. They are painful to the patient and are just as unsightly to the patient and to others that notice the veins on someone else. Spider veins can be caused by an extended period of standing or sitting in the same position. Doctors recommend that to avoid developing spider veins people should not sit with their legs crossed for long periods of time because it blocks blood flow to the veins in the legs and causes them to swell and appear under the skin. Also, if patients sit all day at work they should get up and walk around for short periods of time to make sure that the blood flow is continuous. If patients stand all day long doctors recommend that they take time to sit down in order to take the pressure off of the legs and ankles. Spider vein prevention is the best way to avoid developing these problems.
Both spider veins and varicose veins are veins that are considered dead because they are no longer needed by the body. So, if a patient wishes to have them removed, their body will not miss them whatsoever. Spider veins do appear in the legs and the face but the latter is not overly common. The legs are the most common place for spider veins to appear. Spider vein prevention is preached by doctors across the country because as a patient, avoiding surgery or other removal procedures is a goal that many people want to attain. Spider vein treatment includes sclerotherapy and laser treatment. Both of these procedures are considered cosmetic; this means that insurance policies will not cover them. So, if a patient wishes to have them performed they must pay for the procedure out of their own pocket. Sclerotherapy costs anywhere from $100-$400 per procedure and laser surgery costs anywhere from $300-$450 per procedure.
Suffering from spider veins is not an uncommon affliction. Studies claim that close to 40 percent of women suffer from spider veins. There are proven methods to spider vein prevention and anyone that feels they might develop them should take these measures into effect. Doctors recommend that people add blueberries to their diet. Place the blueberries in cereal and yogurt in the morning because blueberries contain bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids are natural compounds that work with Vitamin C to strengthen the blood vessels in the body. Eat grapefruits and plenty of them. Oranges and grapefruits contain bioflavonoids in their white membranes.
Another option to help with spider vein prevention is to add 40 milligrams of gingko biloba three times a day. Gingko helps to strengthen the tissues that make up the vein walls in the body. Gingko is also high in bioflavonoids. There are also exercises that can be performed to prevent spider veins. Exercises to prevent spider veins are calf raises, tip-toe walking, heel walking, and foot rocking. Doctors also say that when the legs on the body get tired, make sure to give them a rest because continued pressure on the legs can cause varicose or spider veins.

Hair loss is caused by a wide variety of factors. The treatment of this condition is still mostly an art; however, the list of options for treatment is improving. The application of vitamins for controlling this, or even the use of vitamins for reversing hair loss, is becoming more acceptable.
Using Vitamins for Hair Loss
The primary kinds of vitamins used for this are those considered antioxidants. Vitamin A is an antioxidant that can help produce healthy sebum in the scalp, while vitamin C is also an antioxidant that helps maintain general skin & hair health. Vitamin C is available in common foods such as citrus fruits, strawberries, kiwi, cantaloupe, pineapple, tomatoes, green peppers, potatoes and dark green vegetables and, therefore, should be a natural inclusion in your suite of vitamins used for hair loss.
Vitamin E is also an antioxidant that enhances scalp circulation, however, it can raise blood pressure and reduce blood clotting. If you are taking high blood pressure medication or anticoagulants you should check with your doctor before taking Vitamin E for hair loss. An alternative to Vitamin E is Niacin (Vitamin B3). This vitamin also promotes scalp circulation, however, there are some slight side effects that have been documented that may reduce your use of this vitamin for treating loss of hair.
Not all vitamins are called vitamins and biotin is one such example, and as it aids in producing keratin, it may actually help prevent graying and loss of hair. Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) also may prevent graying and loss of hair.
Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 are both recommended for preventing hair loss and, therefore, should be used in your application of vitamins for loss of hair treatment.
Treating Hair Loss with Natural Products
In addition to applying vitamins for this, there are additional natural remedies. For instance Ginkgo biloba is a very popular herbal remedy that some believe delivers more nutrients to the hair follicles and so promotes hair re-growth. Although not a vitamin treatment for hair loss, shou wu, is an ancient Chinese herb that has been used for centuries for hair loss and baldness. It is frequently available in both tea and capsule form and is one of the main ingredients found in many commercial remedies for the treatment of this condition.
Two other natural remedies are popular. Saw palmetto has the ability to protect the prostrate and can slow loss of hair down as well as re-grow it. Finally, it is well known that the chemical DHT attacks the hair follicle and causes hair loss in males and sometimes in women. It is, however, not known that the stinging nettle blocks the conversion of testosterone into DHT. This natural remedy can be purchased in both pill and capsule form. In conclusion, using a combination of a vitamin treatment for hair loss and other natural remedies, is becoming a more acceptable form of alternative medicine as vitamins for loss of hair is itself, becoming better documented and as a result, is regarded as safe.
