Diatomaceous earth (diatomite)

Diatomaceous earth, (Diatomite), Perma-Guard, 250 g.
- 100% natural product
- Silicon dioxide of 100% natural origin
- It has a neutral pH

"Perma Guard" diatomaceous earth is the highest quality diatomaceous earth, available on the Bulgarian market since 2015.

Diatomaceous earth (diatomite) represents the fossilized exoskeletons of the microscopic algae Diatoms - a type of phytoplankton of freshwater origin - can contain even more than 90% amphoric silica and very small amounts of other clay materials.

"Perma Guard" Inc. is a world leader with over 40 years of history in the extraction of freshwater diatomaceous earth of high quality and purity (FOOD GRADE).

FOOD GRADE diatomaceous earth can be used as an additive in animal feed (birds and mammals) with an anti-caking effect and has a number of applications in the food industry.

Diatomaceous earth is a source of biologically absorbable silicon - a trace element of extreme importance, confirmed in numerous scientific works. Silicon is needed for:
- Collagen production;
- Healthy connective tissue, incl. bones, joints, skin, hair, nails, blood vessels;
- Good bone mineralization, including in menopause;
- Healthy and elastic blood vessels;
- Healthy cholesterol levels;
- Reduction of the risk of atherosclerosis;
- The correct distribution of calcium and magnesium in the body.

How does Diatomic Finger work?

The beneficial effect of Diatomic Finger Perma Guard is carried out in three ways - detoxification, nutrition of cells and maintenance of acid-alkaline balance.

Detoxification (physical action of diatomaceous earth in the human body)
Thanks to the cylindrical shape and negative charge of the skeletons, they lock various pathogens found in the gastrointestinal tract (harmful bacteria, toxins, heavy metals) and safely remove them from the body. Cylindrical shells delicately clean the intestinal walls without damaging the mucous membranes. In the extraction and processing of Perma Guard diatomaceous earth, extreme care is taken to preserve the structure and integrity of the diatom exoskeletons.

Silicon supply to the cells
Under the influence of gastric juices, part of the silicon dioxide in Perma Guard diatomaceous earth turns into orthosilicic acid – a biologically active form of silicon that can be used by all cells in the body and is very important for the health of the human body.

Maintenance of acid-base balance
Diatomaceous earth has a pH of 8 (alkaline). In addition, by absorbing pathogens in the body, it significantly reduces the acid load and leads to an improvement in the acid-base balance.

Benefits of Taking Amorphous Silica:

Improved immune system function and better resistance against pathogens.

Adequate levels of silicon in the body are associated with:
- Increased production and activity and prolonged viability of important immune cells - macrophages (Mineo et al., 2004) and lymphocytes (Seaborn, 2002).
- Increased production and activity of antibodies (Schiano et al., 1979).
- Improved resistance to diseases of the upper respiratory tract.

Healthier, thicker and shinier hair
In a study with silicon intake for a period of 9 months, scientists found a significant positive effect on the tensile strength of hair compared to the placebo group. The hair had better indicators of elasticity and brittleness, and hair loss decreased.

Healthy nails
Silicon is the most abundant mineral in nails, and it's not surprising that soft and brittle nails can be a sign of silicon deficiency. Studies have shown reduced nail brittleness in the silicon group.

Firm, healthy skin with fewer wrinkles and faster wound healing
Silicon stimulates the production of collagen type I, activates important enzymes and is related to the synthesis of glucosaminoglucans, therefore its intake is associated with improved skin strength and elasticity.

Silicon is necessary for healthy bones, joints and cartilage
Biophysicists Louis Kervan and Dr. Richard Barmakian found that silica has a greater role than calcium in bone formation and repair. Bones repair faster with high silicon and low calcium than with high calcium and low silicon. Very often, people taking diatomaceous earth report a reduction in joint and back pain.

Silicon intake in a controlled clinical trial produced a significant increase in femur bone mineral density in women with osteoporosis.

Improves metabolism and contributes to achieving a slim figure
People who are overweight most often have a slowed metabolism. Thanks to the detoxification of the digestive system, the improved peristalsis of the intestines and the general cleansing and strengthening of the body, the natural balance is restored. A clean organism easily copes with any challenge.

Cleansing the body of toxins and pathogens
A single dose of diatomaceous earth contains millions of negatively charged exoskeletons. They attract and lock in positively charged bacteria (including E. coli), protozoa, viruses, endotoxins, pesticides, drug residues and protein-like toxins (which are formed in gastrointestinal poisoning). Diatomaceous earth does not harm the microbiome – the beneficial bacteria have a negative charge and are "of no interest" to the diatoms.

Detoxification of heavy metals
The absorption of methylmercury compounds (CH2Hg)+ by diatomaceous earth was established. Mercury is released from amalgam fillings and vaccines and forms methylmercury compounds in the gut.

Silicon stimulates the detoxification of aluminum from the body and prevents its accumulation
The accumulation of aluminum in the body is considered a probable cause of the development of Alzheimer's disease.

Improved absorption of other items
Often the lack of minerals in the body is a consequence of the low level of silicon. Silicon has an important role in the metabolism of, for example, copper, zinc, germanium and calcium.

A healthy cardiovascular system, normal blood pressure and healthy cholesterol levels
Adequate silicon levels prevent calcification and are a necessary prerequisite for healthy and elastic blood vessels.

In 1912, Dr. Coon was the first to show that silicon compounds stopped the development of atherosclerosis.

Later, in 1957 M. Lepger and J. Lepger found that the walls of blood vessels in patients with atherosclerosis have lower levels of silicon than in healthy people. They also proved experimentally that when supplemented with silicon, the development of atherosclerosis stops and the blood vessels begin to recover.

In a 1998 human study, scientists from the University of Innsbruck found that taking 750 mg of diatomaceous earth daily reduced the level of serum cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, while at the same time an increase in HDL cholesterol (the so-called good cholesterol).

Prevention of soft tissue calcification
If the level of silicon in the body is low, calcium takes its place e.g. in tendons, joints, blood vessels and intestines. This leads to the manifestation of various diseases, such as polyarthritis, calcification of the heart valves, atherosclerosis, osteochondrosis, etc., but in fact the disease is one - a low level of silicon.

Where is diatomaceous earth used?

Hundreds of uses for diatomaceous earth are now recognized and there are thousands of products containing diatomaceous earth, including but not limited to: skin care, toothpaste, flour, grain and seed treatment.

In folk medicine, it is used to improve the condition of the skin, hair, nails, connective tissue and vascular problems.
