What Is Diatomaceous Earth? Diatomaceous earth (DE), also known as diatomite , is a naturally occurring, soft sedimentary rock that can be ground into a fine, off-white powder. It’s composed predominantly of silica —about 80–90% , with smaller amounts of alumina (2–4%) and iron oxide (0.5–2%) ( Amazon , Wikipedia ). DE originates from the fossilized remains of diatoms , which are single-celled aquatic algae ( Wikipedia ). Looking to try DE for yourself?

Growing up in Grasmere, Gauteng , my life was filled with moments both simple and extraordinary. From riding a rescued brown mare bareback through open fields, to trading bones with the cart man for fresh fruit, to navigating the unspoken rules of apartheid, these early experiences shaped who I am today.  A Childhood Under Apartheid Growing up under apartheid was like living in a house that sometimes filled with smoke—you didn’t always see the fire, but you knew it was burning ...

 Today, I’m both nervous and proud. My latest book, When the River Remembers , is finally published on Amazon in Kindle and paperback formats. When the River Remembers” by Elizabeth Erasmus https://amzn.to/4onVR8A It’s the most personal story I’ve ever written—based on real experiences of love, heartbreak, and the harsh reality of 1980s South Africa. It tells the story of Elena and Milton, whose love crossed the lines that society refused to erase. I carried this story for more than two decades, and I’m honored to finally share it with the world.
