Golden Acres Ranch

Greetings from California,

I have food on my mind this morning, so I thought I would mention the results of my experiment with diatomaceous earth (DE).

Bobbie and Fred keep food-grade DE at the ranch, mostly for organic pest control and to sell. As I was researching DE to add a page to the website, I discovered that people can use, too, for intestinal health. Last time I was in Florida, I wanted to bring some of the ranch's DE back with me. Mom and Charles were just too worried that I would be arrested for drugs or explosives if it was found on the plane. So we agreed they would mail some to me.

I've been putting a tablespoon of DE in my grapefruit juice in the mornings for months now and have been carefully monitoring my body's response. I can safely say that it hasn't done me any harm. Can't say it's changed me in any physical way, though. What it has done is caused me to think fondly of Mom, Dad, Charles and the ranch every time I mix some DE into my juice.

Bye for now,

Christine
