Diatomaceous earth is a fossilized form of algae (or diatoms, to be specific).

Today, diatomaceous earth is mined and ground into a fine dusty powder.

When you consume diatomaceous earth, you’re mainly ingesting silica.

This is why diatomaceous earth looks and feels like a chalky powder.

If you inspected diatomaceous earth using a microscope, you’d actually see that diatomaceous earth has sharp edges which cuts the exoskeleton of insects.

As a side note, diatomaceous earth is commonly used as an insect repellent in the household because of this 100% natural method of killing insects.

Rather than using a harsh chemical or artificial compound to kill insects, diatomaceous earth kills insects mechanically.

It’s pretty incredible really.

Diatomaceous earth cleanses your intestinal tract in a similar fashion, by killing any living organisms that shouldn’t be there.

While diatomaceous earth is considered safe for humans (when used in small quantities), researchers claim that diatomaceous earth can potentially kill all or most of the living organisms in your gut.

In simple terms, diatomaceous earth is heavy-duty stuff. Even if it’s food-grade and 100% natural.

Diatomaceous earth can fully detoxify your gut and give you a clean slate to work with.

This is obviously a great thing if you’ve been dealing with blockages in your gut, or feel like you need to completely clean out your intestinal tract.

It’s possible that your gut needs a complete restart.

If you feel like you need an intensive gut detox, diatomaceous earth could be an excellent option for you.

You can mix 1 teaspoon of diatomaceous earth in a tall glass of water or juice, and simply drink it down.

You should this beverage first thing in the morning or late in the evening.

You wan to give yourself a nice 2 to 3 hour window of fasting before and after taking diatomaceous earth.

Don’t eat during this time. Just drink plenty of water.

This is why it’s easiest to take diatomaceous earth first thing in the morning (skip breakfast) or late in the evening (a few hours after eating supper).

After ingesting diatomaceous earth, you should drink plenty of water to flush toxins and rid your body of any potential parasites.

Diatomaceous earth is a very fine, abrasive powder that can cause serious respiratory issues if inhaled.

Diatomaceous earth is messy. Especially if you try to spoon it straight out of the bag.

I suggest pouring your bag of diatomaceous earth into plastic tupperware with a tight seal.

Tupperware makes your diatomaceous earth significantly easier to handle.

If you’re enjoying the benefits of diatomaceous earth, you can keep taking 1 teaspoon of diatomaceous earth mixed with juice or water for several days.

Most people can thoroughly cleanse their gut after taking a small teaspoon amount of diatomaceous earth once daily, for a period of 3 to 5 days.

It’s a good idea to stop taking diatomaceous earth after 3 to 5 days.

This will give your gut plenty of time to regenerate the healthy bacteria it needs to operate.

After detoxing with diatomaceous earth, you’ll want to drink kefir, bulgarian yogurt, or use a similar probiotic beverage to help your gut regenerate healthy bacteria.

What is Borax and how does it work?

Borax is a fine salt-like mineral that can provide great benefits in small quantities.

Like diatomaceous earth, Borax is mined, then ground into a fine powder.

Borax is also 100% natural, like diatomaceous earth, and provides many similar benefits as diatomaceous earth (with a few exceptions).

We’ve published an entire article about the potential benefits of consuming a small amount of Borax right here on Mystic Future.

You should read that article to get the full scoop on Borax.

To give you a brief overview of how Borax works, people in the USA commonly use Borax as a laundry detergent, because Borax is marketed as a laundry detergent, and is very effective at eliminating bad bacteria, dirt and similar nastiness.

Not surprisingly, Borax works in a similar fashion when you ingest a very small amount mixed in a tall glass of water.

Borax cleanses your gut incredibly well, just like diatomaceous earth.

With a clean gut, you’ll be able to think, communicate and act with much greater mental clarity.

You will feel like a new person.

How to use Borax for detoxifying your gut

VIEW ON AMAZON

To detoxify your gut with Borax, you only need to take a 1/4 teaspoon amount of Borax mixed into a tall glass of water.

Sip your drink slowly and pay attention to how you feel.

If your gut is packed with waste, you might feel like running to the restroom. That is perfectly natural.

This is about detoxifying your entire system.

After taking Borax, you’ll probably also feel energized and a little bit euphoric.

This is especially true if you have a Boron deficiency, which seems to be a common theme throughout much of the world.

Unlike diatomaceous earth, Borax is not very harsh on the human gut.

Borax isn’t going to kill your healthy gut flora.

Rather, Borax seems to specifically target mycobacteria and candida, which are usually a byproduct of high sugar consumption.

This means you can use Borax safely for weeks or months, as long as you remember to take breaks from using Borax.

Also, remember to drink plenty of water when using Borax.

Borax is seriously effective at helping your body detoxify fluoride, heavy metals, and other nasty stuff that may have been residing in your body for years.

This is why you’ll want to drink plenty of additional water along with your Borax beverage.

Use caution when handling Borax (safety information)

Borax is a fine white powder that needs to be handled carefully, in a similar fashion as diatomaceous earth.

Pour some Borax into plastic tupperware for easy handling.

Keep Borax far away from children at all times.

And make sure to avoid accidentally inhaling Borax, because Borax can cause serious respiratory issues if it accidentally enters your lungs.

How to choose between using Diatomaceous earth or Borax for detoxifying your gut, brain and entire body

I would recommend starting with a Borax gut cleanse to see if that solves your problem.

Because Borax is gentler on the human body than diatomaceous earth, Borax is an excellent starting point.

If after using Borax for several days or weeks, and you still feel like your gut needs further cleansing, this is the point when you may want to gradually try out diatomaceous earth for a much more thorough gut cleansing.

At the end of the day, both Borax and food-grade diatomaceous earth are two of the most affordable and effective 100% natural ingredients to keep in your kitchen pantry.

Borax and diatomaceous earth can be used in so many different ways: from killing intestinal parasites, to flushing heavy metals from your system, and so much more…

If you’re serious about keeping your gut healthy (which you should be) it’s not a bad idea to pick up Borax and food-grade diatomaceous earth to keep on hand.

I guarantee there will come a time when you benefit from using both of these amazing natural compounds that come directly from Mother Earth.
