Its one thing for my cat to have fleas, but when they are jumping and
biting me too, it really sucks. Recently, I was at my neighbors house
when her 12 year old dog was rolling around rubbing/scratching her back
on the carpet, then outside in the driveway on the rocks trying to get
relief from the fleas and dry skin. I instinctively rubbed a handful of
FPP on the dog. Excitedly, I told her how the powder dries up any pests
and relieves animals of their unrelenting itching. She replied, “We are
trying to keep her moisturized not dry her up”. Mind you, I don’t have
an itchy dog, (just one that pees and wears designer diapers), so I felt bad having contributed
to de-moisturizing my friends poor, old pup. To our surprise the pup stopped
scratching within minutes and has done well ever since! The chemicals
we put on our animals to kill tics and fleas are toxic, not just to
them, but to us. Here is a pesticide that is not harmful to animals or
humans and its edible! This natural pesticide powder is called
Diatomaceous Earth. 5000 or more years ago it became part of the
pantheon of Chinese medicine. In European countries it is used by
holistic seeking individuals as an alternative to chemicals for
strengthening the nails, hair, skin and bones. In other countries it is
used as an additive in the large grain silos to keep them bug free.
Here is how it works on our little, fury friends:
Officially called
fossilized phytoplankton powder (FPP), the sharpness of the fossil cuts
through the waxy coating of a pests outer layer of skin, essentially
drying them up, dehydrating them (the pests). Diatomaceous Earth can be
found online at
freshwaterorganics.com and
available in 3 different grades. I purchased the organic human
consumption grade. To my surprise, I found that diatomaceous earth
lowers cholesterol, kills parasites, and is great for the nails, skin
and bones!....not to mention its edible.....! Click the link below to watch a thirty minute video (trust me, after the first 5 or 6 minutes you'll be buying this stuff in bulk!)
