Stop defending yourself and check out what is actually relevant to the issue at hand.
The url that I got went directly to the food grade Diatomaceous Earth. See attached info below. The point is, read the labels and get the unadulterated food grade for ingestion... Dan http://www.gardenharvestsupply.com/de_permaguard.aspx Perma-Guard Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth Perma-Guard Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is totally organic and safe and contains less than 1% percent of Crystal & Silicon! Some of the uses for the Diatomaceous Earth include; household pets, gardens, flower beds, field crops, grain storage, and livestock feeding. Diatomaceous Earth is Mother Nature's product with no harm to the environment, pets or to people. Diatomaceous Earth is not an earth, it is the fossilized remains of microscopic shells created by one celled plants called DIATOMS. Diatomaceous Earth kills by physical action, not chemical, by puncturing the insect's exoskeleton and absorbing its body fluids, thus posing no harm to warm-blooded life.Moreover, on any surface, these natural pesticide products have a remarkable repellency factor. As long as it is present, insects tend to stay away, making a serious infestation unlikely. Also, the more it is used, the more an environment is created that tends to make insects feel unwelcome. Household: Use Diatomaceous Earth for control of roaches, silverfish, ants, bedbugs, flies, fleas, box elder bugs, scorpions, crickets, and many others. Diatomaceous Earth can be used in and around the home, yard, animal housing, etc. Pets: Your best friends come in all shapes and sizes. Protect them with Diatomaceous Earth; when rubbed into their coats it is very effective against fleas, ticks, lice, and other pests on pet dogs, cats, and their premises. It can also be used as an organic wormer and will kill any worms or parasites the pets may have. When using as a de-wormer mix the Diatomaceous Earth into their food, give both cats and dogs ½ teaspoon each day. Plants: For control of aphids, whitefly, beetles, loopers, mites, leaf hoppers, and others! Use Diatomaceous Earth inside your home, greenhouse or outdoors on fruits, vegetables, flowers, grains and grass, up to and including day of harvest. For dry application of Diatomaceous Earth use a duster and cover entire plant, apply to both top and bottom of leaf.For young plants, as little as two pounds per acre may be adequate. For larger plants, five lb per acre is probably sufficient. Diatomaceous Earth will need reapplied after a rain. Applies best when there is dew or after a light rain. It is a long lasting, effective powder the insects can not build up resistance. Livestock: All livestock, Horses, Cows, Pigs, Sheep, Goats, Rabbits, Chickens and others will benefit from the use of Diatomaceous Earth. It is completely safe and nontoxic. Some of the benefits are; controls fleas and ticks, stimulates basic metabolism, converts feed better, reduces odor and moisture in barns and stalls, results in better coat and hoof condition, keeps fly larvae from developing in manure, noticeably reducing the fly population, reduces annual vet bills, controls worms and internal parasites without chemicals, better egg production, stronger eggs, and reduces overall animal stress. Diatomaceous Earth can be mixed right in with the animals feed. Cows/Horses get 1-2oz per day, Sheep/Goats/Hogs get 1/2oz per day, Dogs/Cats get 1/2 teaspoon per day. For Chickens and other livestock you need to weight the feed and add 2% of that weight in Diatomaceous Earth. Your livestock will also get the benefit of over 14 trace minerals that make up Diatomaceous Earth. Stored Grain: Just add 7-10 lbs. of Diatomaceous Earth to each ton of grain as it is conveyed into the storage. When added to grain, Diatomaceous Earth killed the bugs that were present, and protected the grain from further invasions. And the bugs could not become immune and they were killed by physical action, not chemical! Perma-Guard Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth contains less than ½ percent of Crystal & Silicon! Analysis of Diatomaceous Earth Perma-Guard (5 lb bag) $9.00 Perma-Guard (50 lb bag) Shipping on the 50lb bag is $35.00. $70.00 >>> Bill Keen <bkee...@sbcglobal.net> 1/6/2006 2:30:07 AM >>> Sharie, I was checking on the product labeled "Perma-Guard" which is DE with additives. This is what is on the front page at this site. Read the 3rd paragraph on the Home Page. I didn't go to the Household Pesticides page. Another assumption. The only really common thing on these Group sites. I just checked the Household Pesticides page and guess what - they only say "Perma-Guard Pure Diatomaceous Earth Produdcts". No mention of the additives included. So you might assume that this is the edible DE! Maybe YOU should read before accusing me of NOT reading. There was no mention previously about Fossil Shell Flour. Therefore, Perma-Guard DE is the insecticide NOT the food grade product. It really gets confusing when the Company name and ONE product are the same.

That form of DE is NOT edible. However, if you click on Fossil Shell Flour for Livestock, you will see this is the edible one DE.
