One success story is that many people have reported a reduction in Candida symptoms after using diatomaceous earth. It's believed to work by helping to cleanse the digestive tract where Candida often overgrows. For example, some users noticed that their digestive discomfort decreased, and their energy levels increased as the Candida levels in their bodies were seemingly brought under control.
One success story is in pest control. Diatomaceous earth can be used to get rid of fleas in homes. Sprinkling it on carpets and pet bedding, it physically damages the exoskeletons of fleas, leading to their dehydration and death. Another success is in gardening. It helps to control slugs and snails without using harmful chemicals. Just spread it around the plants, and when the pests crawl over it, it harms them in a similar way.
Diatomaceous earth has the potential to kill mange mites. It's abrasive and absorbs the lipids from the mites' exoskeletons, causing them to die. But it might not work instantly and may require consistent use.
In many cases, diatomaceous earth is effective against mange. It's abrasive to the mites' exoskeleton and absorbs the moisture they need to survive. However, its success can depend on factors like application method and the severity of the infestation.
The use of diatomaceous earth for mange is not a sure-fire solution. While it can have some positive impact, mange is a complex condition that often requires a combination of treatments and proper veterinary care.
