The Most Important Plant on the Planet!
The Diatom
#4
by Wallace Tharp
 The Diatom plant, for protection, takes the minerals in the water and builds itself a protective shell. Existing in untold numbers, as they die, the shells sift to the bottom of the body of water, salt or fresh.
Over a period of time these build up massive deposits. The shells, being so tiny, it takes a very long time. National Geographic Magazine estimates that it takes one thousand years to make one inch of deposit. In other words, a twelve inch thick deposit would be, maybe, 12,000 years in the making. These deposits of microscopic shells would fossilize and are called DIATOMACEOUS EARTH.
There is a tendency for water currents to carry in foreign material as the deposits are being formed, so that most mixture most is polluted with foreign material. About one half of one percent happened to be formed in an area where there is no pollution, so the deposit is incredibly pure.
Geologic changes shifts some of these deposits up on dry land, and mankind has found uses for the pure ones. Most of the polluted ones have no value. Some are rather harmless, some are dangerous and some are deadly, because of the mixture of polluting material.
There are over 25,000 species of diatoms and each Specie has it’s own unique shell.
A mineral analysis of these shells shows that in any body of water, all diatoms shells are composed of the same ingredients. The only difference in them is the shell shape.
Does that make any difference? STRANGELY, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HUMANS!
MANKIND HAS PROGRESSED ON THE DISCOVERIES OF A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION. For example, one of the most important discoveries for man is Printing. This gives us the power to pass all the discoveries around all over the world. One man, or series of men have had the ideas and the will to make them work. The rest of us , mostly, just follow.
In the 1950’s, one of these men with ideas made a remarkable discovery. Louis DeLisle was an inventor with over forty patents. He was manufacturing artificial Turquoise for the Indian Imitation Jewelry trade. He had found that a certain deposit of Diatomaceous Earth (DE) was very handy as a filler. All it did was to take up space.
It was astounding that he happened to pick this certain deposit. There were many other deposits around, and had he picked most any other, This article would not be written. Some discoveries seem to based on luck. The shape of the shell was right!
The DE would be brought into Phoenix by the truckload and ground up in a hammer mill, and always created a massive cloud of white dust. This was in the South part of Phoenix , which was sort of an industrial area. It was before the days of the pure air act and no one complained.
In the immediate area was a large dairy, and feed lot and a tallow rendering plant, so there were millions of FLIES/ One day, one of his workers said, “HAVE YOU NOTICED, EVERY TIME WE GRIND THIS MATERIAL, THERE ARE NO FLIES AROUND FOR A FEW DAYS?”
Mr. DeLisle began to take notice, and got scared. If this killed flies, then he might be poisoning people in the area and could get in a lot of trouble. He took samples to a laboratory, who reported that the product no danger to anyone. It was totally non Poisonous.
IF IT IS NOT POISON, HOW DOES IT KILL FLIES? He took samples to another laboratory to make certain, and when he got the same report, IT WAS SAFE, but it still killed flies, he went to Arizona State University and asked for help.
Luckily, the professors were really intrigued because of the mystery: HOW DID A NON POISONOUS PRODUCT KILL FLIES, and they really made a study that normally would have cost him a lot of money.
DE kills flies, the same way a fly swatter does. It kills by physical action, not by poisoning. It is totally safe, no harm too the environment and bugs cannot become immune. IT IS TRULY A MIRACLE PRODUCT!
The DE shell, made from the minerals in the water, is composed of Silicon Dioxide and 14 trace minerals. The tiny particles of material are very hard. The Diamond is the hardest substance in the world and is number nine on the hardness scale. Our DE is number seven, and an insects shell is number 3. When the tiny particles get between the moving parts of the bug, it quickly wears a hole in his shell and it begins to loose vital fluids. The insect dies from dehydration.
If a bird eats a bug dead from toxic chemicals it will probably die. If a bug dies from contact with DE, it will not be harmed, and, in fact, will get an additional 14 trace minerals.
No matter how toxic a chemical insecticide is, bugs will become immune to it, so that more and more toxic chemicals are brought on the market and spread by the millions of tons across our wonderful land and mixed in our food. Thousands of people die from cancer every year because these harsh chemicals are allowed on the market, while this same DE is sold to be added to animal and bird feed with absolutely no harm . In fact, there are some astonishing benefits.
Future pages of this story will explain why most of the readers may never even have heard of this miracle product, and why you should be using it. If anyone has missed parts of this story call Perma-Guard company for free copy. 505/243-1460
