Re: CS>Off Topic - Fleas

Hi Dottie,
I think there's reason to be at least a bit cautious when using diatomaceous earth. It's quite unhealthy to breath, and would be unhealthy for the lungs of a pet too. 


Similarly, use caution when deciding to use another supposedly "safe and 
natural flea killer"... Pyrethrum - an extract from chrysanthemum flowers.  
I know of a cat who just yesterday started having seizures... the owner's 
vet diagnosed the problem as poisoning from flea shampoo containing 
pyrethrum, and marketed as safe for cats and dogs, NOT!


Just 'cause it's "natural" don't mean it's safe ;-)

You can apply with a duster applicator - it is very fine dust.  It won't 
hurt your animals or you.  Once I had fleas so bad in my home I thought 
it would be easier to move out!!  Sprinkled some d.e. mixed with boric 
acid powder on the carpet.  It works itself in and does its thing very 
quickly.  You vacuum it up, but a lot still remains for future problems - 
they say up to a year or until you have your carpets cleaned.  Once d.e. 
becomes wet, it is ineffective.  I'm not kidding when I say one day I had 
fleas, the next day I didn't.  It killed the eggs, nits and adult fleas.  
You can even sprinkle the d.e. directly on your pets. <<<

Hi Gladys - Diatomaceous earth are single celled algae that are mined.  To a bug they look like crushed glass.  They work by slicing bugs and then the d.e. is so dry, it sucks their life blood right out of them.

I buy mine at a local gardening supply co. called Grangettos.  You should check at Nurserys and gardening supply places around you.  Also, Home Depot only carries the d.e. that is for pools.  This has been processed and is not at all the same product so be careful that the d.e. you buy is NOT for pools.


Hopes this helps - also, do a web search on d.e. - all kinds of info and applications available.

ON TO YOUR QUESTIONS: My EXPERT VASCULAR SURGEON

doctor can barely spell lymphedema much less determine whether it came

from infection or electrolyte imbalance What tests do I take to determine



this? I took a test for diabetes which was negative.



Funny thing about the acid reflux. I have never had any pain, my throat

was sore once and the doctor test me for acid reflux said the acid backs

up and damages your esophagus and throat. They prescribed pill, but I

don't take th em--somnehow my spirit knerw something more sensible

(CS) would come along



What is DIATOMACEOUS EARTH and where can I get it?



The ezcema on my foot is almost gone, finally found a

Dermatologist who prescribed BALNETAR started clearing it

up in a matter of weeks.



I took Lamisil for two months orally the fungus on my toe nail

was clearing up but I had to take different antibiotics when I

got cellulitis in my leg from the lymphedema. Anyway its

about 50% down the toe nail the nail is clear not yellowish

looking like the top. I hope I will be able to continue this

improvement with the
