Food grade diatomaceous earth is excellent to help eliminate mite infestations on humans, pets, plants, and in the home and yard. This webpage has been created, 12/12/06, because we have had many many calls from people who themselves, their homes, and yards are infested with mites that are eating at them. Some people have suffered from these mite infestations for over 10 years without effective treatments from physicians and chemical treatments. If you are one of these people that has suffered from mite, other bug/parasite infestations, or Morgellon's Disease please read the following and gain back your sanity and healthful life.

First,

in an effort to save time and repetition realize there is a bunch of

essential food grade diatomaceous earth information on our other

diatomaceous earth webpages above.

This

webpage will NOT duplicate the information found in the webpages above,

so please read the information on those webpages for more information

about the health benefits and many uses of food grade diatomaceous

earth.

Food

grade diatomaceous earth is a natural powder that works in a purely

physical/mechanical manner, not chemical and thus has no chemical

toxicity. Best yet, parasites don't build up a tolerance/immunity to

its chemical reaction, so rotation of wormers or chemical insecticides

is unnecessary AND food grade DE has NO odor.

If

you are dealing with a mite or bug infestation in your home, it is

essential to treat the affected people, pets, and household all at the

same time. Lightly sprinkle DE in household carpet, along floor

baseboards, in pet bedding, under furniture, beneathe couch and chair

cushions, in closets, etc. Leave for 2-3+ days, then vacuum. Reapply

regularly for the first month for severe infestations, as the parasite

eggs hatch 10 days to 3 weeks after being laid by the host, so it is

essential to keep up regular treatment to completely eliminate the

infestation. Please do not get heavy handed with the DE in your carpet,

as I have heard from one lady advising it causes problems with their

vacuum when applied excessively.

Bed

mites or bugs can be smothered with DE, by putting a plastic cover over

your mattress, after lightly covering the mattress with DE and then

zipping up the plastic cover and leaving it closed up for a few weeks.

Wash ALL clothing, bedding, and linens in hot water, preferably leaving these items in the hot water for 30 minutes.

BUGS AFFECTED BY DIATOMACEOUS EARTH

Ants,

fire ants, caterpillars, cut worms, army worms, fleas, ticks,

cockroaches, snails, spiders, termites, scorpions, silver fish, lice,

mites, flies, centipedes, earwigs, slugs, aphids, Japanese beetles

(grub stage), fruit flies, corn earworm, cucumber beetles, corn borer,

sting bugs, squash vine borers, thrips, loopers, etc., etc.

A

study done by ACRES, USA, Inc. advised that after 12 months of grain

storage, the food grade diatomaceous earth treated material had 15

insects, compared to 4884 for malathion and 16,994 for untreated grain.

WHY DO I HAVE MITES?

Many

people advise that they are the only ones in their household affected

by a mite infestation. Their spouse and/or children are not affected or

bothered by the mites, yet the mites are literally eating them alive.

Some people advise they get a little relief from the itching and biting

when they go to a friend's home, though the mites don't disappear while

they are visiting their friend and the mites are NOT bothering the

friend(s). WHY don't the mites bother everyone in the household?

Mites

are on all of us: people, pets, plants, etc. We don't usually see them

and most of us are not affected by them as we have reasonably strong,

healthy immune systems. When our immune system is low, this gives way

for the mites to take over and attempt to ruin our lives and make us

miserable. Just as fleas prey on less healthy animals and mountain

lions prey on the weaker, young or less healthy animals, and mites or

borers prey on the trees and plants that are not as strong as they

should be; mites prey on those of us who are not strong enough to fight

them off.

For

this reason, it is always important to boost the immune system of the

being when dealing with any dis-ease - cancers, diabetes, parasite

infestations, etc. There are many ways to help boost the immune system

such as:

· Consume species appropriate nutrition. For people, this means forget the junk food and eat real food, plenty of fruits and veggies daily. Consider natural mineral supplementation in the form of chlorella, spirulina, kelp, etc.

· Get plenty of good daily exercise. · Eliminate internal worms and parasites by taking food grade diatomaceous earth every day. This will help your body maximize the absorption from the nutrition you are eating, if worms are not sucking your blood and robbing you of the nutrients in your daily food. ·

100% New Zealand Colostrum is one of the best natural products that can help strengthen the immune system.

·

Terminator Zapper's have benefited many of our mite infested customers, along with using food grade diatomaceous earth.

Things you can try to make you taste yucky to mites or other parasites:

· Consume 1 tsp. of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water, 3x/day.

· Consume raw garlic daily.

· 100% Pure MSM

is an organic sulfur dietary supplement and may be useful for itching

and inflammation and repelling parasites. MSM will also help quell

itching and pain. Other natural ways to kill mites:

Try 1/2 cup of olive oil, mixed with 15 to 20 drops of each of the following essential oils:

Tea Tree (antiparasitic, antimicrobial)

Lavender (soothing, healing, antiseptic)

Cloves (antiparasitic, kills parasite eggs, antimicrobial)

Rub

this mixture into a small area of your skin that is bothered by mites.

Test it in a small area to make sure you do not have an allergic

reaction. If you are fine and you notice relief in that area, than

apply a larger amount to a larger area of skin. This will smother the

mites.

If you cannot make your own mixture, use our Certified Organic Mange & Parasite Oil .

Try

the same mixture above without the olive oil and use 1/2 cup of apple

cider vinegar. This can also be used to rinse your hair after washing,

though do not completely rinse your hair clean with water or the

antiparasite effects will be lost.

Mayonnaise

by itself or mixed with a few drops of the above essential oils is good

for mites or lice in the hair. Leave it on for a good half hour, then

rinse well.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET RID OF THE MITES?

Everyones

situation is a bit different, so giving a definitive time frame can be

difficult. IF you start treating everything, your home, environment,

yard, clothing, etc. ALL at the same time and continue for 3 to 4 weeks

and are diligent, your mite infestation should be completely eliminated

within 3 to 4 weeks.

IF,

however, you do not treat everything at the same time, the task of

eliminating them will become a constant nightmare and chore, as eggs

will continue to hatch and infest you, your home, yard, automobile, etc.

For some, it is relatively simple to just dust the DE all over the household, consume it, dust or paint themselves with it, and immediately they notice they aren't itching as much. We do not recommend letting up with your mite elimination program, until you have completed 3 to 4 weeks of treatment, simply because you don't want them to return in greater numbers and drive you to insanity (which you are likely feeling already). Additionally, this is why it is VERY beneficial to work at boosting your immune system as well, so that the normal, everyday mites that inhabit all of our homes and yards are not troublesome to you anymore.

WHAT ARE MITES?

Information about: mites, lice, scabies, bed mite, harvest mite, tropical rat mite, grain mite, mold mite, house mite, itch mites, bird mites, chiggers, clove mites, straw itch mites, dust mites, and other household pests can be found at these websites:

OSU - Mites Annoying Humans MORGELLON'S DISEASE

IF you have fiber like material coming out of your skin, sores, intense itching, your hair is falling out, etc., you may have Morgellon's Disease. The Morgellon's Disease Organization has some info. In doing a google search for "Morgellons Disease" a bunch of websites come up offering "cures". Some costing $200 others costing $1500. I do not know if any of these solutions work, as I get the calls from Morgellon's people who have not been helped with traditional medicine and they are continuing to search for a way to heal themselves and their families.

Many people affected by Morgellon's disease have been told by their physicians that they need to see a psychiatrist, as their problem is all in their head. Please note, these physicians have been known to stand 3 feet away from the affected patient, even when requesting the doctor look at the parasites that can be seen moving beneathe the patient's skin. WHY are these physicians afraid to touch or come close to these people? Morgellons IS a REAL disease, it is NOT imagined. If you are haunted by Morgellon's disease, please visit the website above.

We presently have a number Morgellon's disease affected customers. They purchase 50# bags of food grade diatomaceous earth to consume orally, to apply in their households, and to paint their bodies with, as recommended by their doctors. By itself, the DE will not cure Morgellons, though it does help with the parasite infestation.

Please note, most of our Morgellons affected people advise their symptoms are worse around the full moon. This is indicative of a parasite/worm infestation, as worms are more active in the tissues of the body during the full moon. It is my belief that daily consumption of DE helps considerably. Start with small amounts of food grade DE to help prevent detox/herxheimer effects and build up to at least 2 heaping tablespoons daily.

Heat also makes these parasites more active and they can be seen crawling beneath the skin on affected people, as well as exit the body through the skin.

Due to the overload of these parasites in the body, they can create infection - viral, bacterial, fungal, likely due to the fact they emit toxins into the system and excrete waste into the body. A good, preferably natural antibiotic will help with these infections. Consider colloidal silver (make it yourself to save on money) or

Viparabac Plus .

Due to the excessive stress this disease causes, sufficient intake of quality vitamins and minerals will help prevent hair loss. Supplements such as organic kelp, spirulina, etc. would help restore the mineral loss consumed by these worms/parasites. Of course, a really good natural diet will help as well, preferably one that contains at least 50% raw vegetables and fruits.

Further note, likely Morgellons is NOT just a worm/parasite infestation. Fibers come out of the skin in the face, neck, and everywhere else on the body on a DAILY basis. These fibers can be blue, red, black, and white, some like hair strands or wire, others fuzzy. Some advise this comes from cotton, others say Chem Trails.

OUR DE & MITE EXPERIENCE

EVERY Spring, we have one or two chickens that get mites, while the other forty something are just fine. As always, I procrastinate hunting the mite infested chickens down, until they have lost a good 1/3rd of their feathers. Then, I FINALLY chase down the nearly featherless chicken(s), turn them upside down and smother them in DE. I turn them right side up, and thoroughly apply the DE to their top feathers, neck, head, etc. and THEN, I muck the coops and clean out the nesting boxes. Then apply DE thoroughly to the coop grounds and in the nesting boxes...they NEVER need a second treatment and their feathers start to grow back immediately.

CAUTIONS:

· DE manufacturers who work in diatomaceous earth mines 5 days/week advise inhaling it is not a problem (tho of course, don't be snuffing it) and we have not had problems when inhaling DE in small amounts. IF you have asthma or some other lung ailment, either wear a mask or be very careful when using food grade diatomaceous earth.

· Do NOT get diatomaceous earth in the eyes. DE is drying to the eyes, so do NOT put it out when you or your pets are down wind of it. DE is drying to your skin, hands, and feet, just as it can be to your pets.

· Do NOT use heavily in carpet. Some advise too much DE causes vacuum problems.

· NEVER use pool filter grade DE around animals. It can poison or kill them.

· Some people experience a healing crisis (detox reaction) when beginning DE consumption. If this occurs, reduce the dose, till your body is cleansed, and then increase to the RDA.

· Remember, DE will kill beneficial insects as well, so use accordingly.
