Naturally Healthy Living with Diatomaceous Earth: You, your home, and your pets can be healthier using Mother Earth's Best Kept Secret! (Simply Smarter Living)

This book is a simple to understand read on DE. if someone is just getting started (like myself), then here you go. A quick explanation on DE, the difference between food grade and non-food grade, common uses for the lawn and garden, home pests, pet use, and human use. This will not go into deep detail about each subject, but just enough so you can start using this product. Very basic, simple and once again, great for the beginner. If you already know quite a bit about DE, this would not benefit you much if you want to dive deeper into uses and recipes. There are no recipes in this book.

Wow, what really great information. I recently visited the Wellness Spa in Shoreview MN. ,- Kinshasha Kimbui, who spent quite a bit of time explaining the benefits of DE. This is only my seventh day taking DE but, already I see changes.I highly recommend trying DE as it really does what it claims. Be aware of your body and you will see changes quite quickly starting with movement of bowels. Seriously great product, I believe in it so much that I went to Fleet Farm and purchased a 50lb bag for $18 and put it into smaller containers to give to my children.

A good overview of the benefits found using DE. It comes up short on specifics but still a good intro and worth the read.

This did come basic info. which I found helpful for my purposes. I think it costs too much for what is basically a pamphlet.I'm sure the number of pages were indicated when I purchased it, but I don't think I paid attention to that.I was looking at the health benefits of taking DE. While they sound very good, there is also info. about how much extra water you need to drink if using this. I always have difficulty drinking the amount of water I should drink, now. So I know that I will never be able to remember to increase my water significantly.

Naturally Healthy Living with Diatomaceous Earth -- L.A. NicholasSo, that's why my neighbors put diatomaceous earth (DE) on their lawn and in their flower beds! Wish I had been the first one on my block to know about it. Read this booklet and you'll want to put some on your lawn, as well.Dr. Nicholas has done us a great favor here, ferreting out some valuable information. Every household can put this economical product to use. She has investigated the claims of many and presented logical evidence, supported by both documented use and her own experience with DE. You will definitely know the difference between the fresh water/food grade product meant for home use vs. marine/industrial grade DE (used in swimming pool filters, etc.) after she walks you through the properties of this interesting substance.With a new bag of DE in hand, I want to saunter from lawn to garden, pantry to under-the-sink cabinets, and sprinkle some all around, till I find some unwary character eating cereal at the kitchen table -- and give them a sprinkle or two, as well. Read why and learn how in this well-researched booklet.

I bought this book hoping it would be a great addition to my home library. I was hoping for information that would help me better utilize the bag of diatomaceous earth sitting in my pantry. I was so excited to get this in the mail!My first thought: Wow. This isn't even a book. Honestly, it is a booklet at best. It looks like something you would pick up for free at a fair somewhere. I sat down and read the whole thing front to back in one sitting.As I was reading the book, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. 80% of the booklet is fluff - the author talking about why he likes DE and how he thinks it is a really good substance to use. 20% of the booklet is actually using DE. Of the 20% that was useful, most of it can easily be found on the first page of a Google search.Here is how I see it - if I had seen this at a used bookstore for $7, I would have left it. Honestly, I would not have paid for this book. I am very disappointed.

I've read a lot about DE and found this book a perfect way to introduce friends and others to DE. It is easy and quick to read but has a pretty comprehensive list of the many uses for DE. This book doesn't go into a lot of specifics of applications but there is plenty of that when you are ready to go. I've given a lot of these away. People are loving it. Enjoy the book and your new world with DE! In Peace.. Bob

The information in this book was useful, but there was no more information than what I found on websites for DE. There really weren't any insights to dietary recommendations, etc. I'd recommend saving a few dollars and reading the DE websites for the same info.

Who wouldn't want to deworm their pets and/or rid them of any kind of pest they might be burdened with. Ideas for using diatomaceous earth.

My aunt has to take this in very small quantities as she is very toxic but it is doing the job.

Thought there would be more information

I am an absolute fan of Diatomaceous Earth! My whole family, including the dog of course are taking i and the results are wonderful. Unfortunatelly the book is very superficial and repetitive and you get more information about this product when you google it. Still it is not a bad book I was just expecting more information about DE.
