Understanding Deep Vein Thrombosis: Risk Factors, Signs, and Management

Recently I heard that a family member in her early 50s was being seen by a doctor for DVT and that she was hoping that there was a more natural way of dealing with it than the medications her doctor was prescribing. When I had digested this scrap of family ''information,'' I thought about my own lax position (denial, really) and how it would make sense for me to make some changes in my life while I still have some shreds of health and potential fitness. And, of course, I have inherited my mother's compulsive pop reading habit (in my case, the Internet mostly). So, I decided to research and write an article that would incorporate some preventative and alternative health principles into my life that might make DVT somewhat less likely to catch up with me than is likely the case now. I would also like to see our family member above and others benefit from these principles if they decide that they want to. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a critical health concern that af

Research shows that the heart is supported by the use of Diatomaceous Earth- - that cholesterol is kept in balance and the many nutrients in DE -- silica, calcium, sodium, magnesium, iron, and other trace minerals-- all work to build and maintain healthy heart tissue and function.

The tiny fossilized phytoplanton skeletons in Diatomaceous Earth are known as diatoms and are silica-rich particles. Silica is important in bone metabolism and the formation of our joints. It is also thought to be significant in the health and formation of connective tissues. A study from 2007 in the Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging points to the good possibility that consuming a teaspoon (progressing up to a maximum of 1 tablespoon over time) of Diatomaceous Earth (DE) will help the body override the massive loss of bone density that is known as Osteoporosis, a so-called "Silent Killer" of our contemporary aging population.  For more information about what you can do to avoid and overcome osteoporosis, check out the following sites: www.PCRM.org www.StrongBones.org www.drmcdougall.com Exercise is also a very important facet of maintaining good bone and joint health.  Keep moving!

why-and-how-to-consume-diatomaceous-2-skin

Improve and Maintain Healthy Skin with Increased Silica in a daily teaspoon of Diatomaceous Earth: Are you dealing with saggy, tired, sallow skin, acne, rosacea, eczema, dry flakey skin or other skin conditions?   A teaspoon of diatomaceous earth mixed well into a half-glass of water or juice (or a smoothie), once a day will provide you with elastin , a skin-builder in silica (working along with collagen), that will give your skin a firmer look instead of that saggy-ness that happens as we get older.   As silica works to improve your general health, your skin will begin to glow again and most skin diseases will begin to clear up, from inside out.  Expensive skin serums and lotions won't be necessary, thank you!
