What Can You Take With It Diatomaceous Earth

my husband takes warfarin daily, we are wondering if taking diatomaceous earth to help lower cholesterol and blood pressure with his warfarin would effect anything? ## Unfortunately, this is just a supplement product, so it has not actually been checked for interactions with prescription drugs. Thus, the best advice I can give would be that he check with his doctor or pharmacist, before taking it. Learn more Warfarin details here. When taking Warfarin, one's INR can be very touchy, so it's always best to be cautious.

I have been on Warfarin for 3 years with no known problems. I want to consume diatomaceous earth and can't find anything saying if it is o.k. to do so. ## Hi Anita, Although I can't seem to find any specific details on interactions with Diatomaceous Earth, it is regarded as a non-toxic, safe substance made up from fossils of freshwater organisms. In my opinion it should be fine to incorporate with a prescription drug, but you may want to feel more assured by talking to your doctor. Have you taken this supplement in the past with any success? ## No. I have never taken it but have been reading a lot of positive information on it. I wonder if anyone else here might have used it with success.

Could anyone please tell me about Diatomaceous Earth, if this product is safe to use if suffering from C.O.P.D. and asthma? Looks like a miracle cure but not too sure of it's safety. Also which is the best supplier? thanks, Ritsie. ## Just make sure you buy "food grade" DE, as the other stuff can really hurt you. DE kills parasites in the gut and is very effective immediately. Also, DE is an excellent source of silica, which is used by the human anatomy everywhere.

I have an artificial mitral heart valve. Is it safe to take DE with an artificial heart valve? Will it damage it in any way? Also, is it safe to take DE while taking Warfarin? ## Hello, Catzilla007! How are you? Diatmaceous earth is just classified as an inert supplement, so in theory, there shouldn't be any problems with your taking it, nor did I find any problems listed between it and Warfarin, which the FDA classifies as a blood thinner, so it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, easy bruising and increased risk of bleeding. However, since you do have an artificial valve and are on the Warfarin, you should double check with your doctor, before taking it. They are sometimes aware of problems that aren't listed in the databases, because they have learned...

i take 65 mg of methadone and i have an infection of parasites. i would like to to take diatomaceous earth without getting withdrawels is that possible ## Hello, Chris! How are you? How do you know you have a parasitic infection? Additionally, even if you do, diatomaceous earth isn't proven to eradicate them and I am unable to find any information on how it would affect Methadone. Have you consulted your doctor regarding this? The FDA lists Methadone as being a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

I have an itchy rash or bites on my elbows and hands. I sprayed for bed bugs and sprinkled diatomaceous earth all over my apartment. What is eating me? Even sitting in my living room it sometimes feels like I'm being bit. If what I'm feeling is not bugs then what else can it be? ## Hello, Kellie! How are you doing? Has there been any change? What does the rash look like? Can you please post back and describe it more? According to NIH reports, this could also be due to fleas, an allergy, or several other causes. There's also a risk it might be due to some species of spiders. Are you on any medications or supplements? They can also cause allergic reactions. Have you switched your laundry detergent, body soap, shampoo, or cleaning supplies recently? Have you consulted your doct...
