According to numerous scientific publications, obesity is the most common metabolic disease, often categorized as an epidemic of the 21st century. The problem of obesity correlates with the increased incidence of other diseases such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, osteoarthritis, and cancer, which can lead to an increased risk of premature death. Therefore, alternative treatment methods are often sought to ensure optimal body function, a rapid return to the desired body weight, and thus an improvement in the quality and duration of life. One such method appears to be the use of diatomaceous earth. In this article, we will discuss its effects on the body and, above all, the rationale for its use.

Diatomeenerde und ihre vielfältigen Anwendungen

Diatomeenerde, auch bekannt als diatomartige Erde, ist ein vollständig natürliches Produkt, das aus Einzeller-Algen entstand, die vor Millionen von Jahren sowohl in Süß- als auch in Salzwasser lebten. Durch die fortschreitende Austrocknung der Gewässer sanken diese Algen auf den Grund und bildeten eine dichte Schicht aus organischen Ablagerungen. Auf dieser Basis, insbesondere aus den Silicium-haltigen Schalen, entstand ein Sedimentgestein, das heute abgebaut und weiterverarbeitet wird. Die gemahlene Form dieses Materials wird als Diatomeenerde bezeichnet. Obwohl sie bisher vor allem in der chemischen Industrie Anwendung fand, weisen zahlreiche Online-Quellen auch auf ihre potenziellen gesundheitlichen Vorteile hin, darunter Förderung des Haarwuchses, Unterstützung des Bewegungsapparats, Verbesserung der Verdauung, Optimierung des Aussehens von Haar, Haut und Nägeln, Senkung des Cholesterinspiegels sowie Entgiftung des Körpers. Trotz dieser potenziellen gesundheitlichen Effekte ist zu beachten, dass bisher nur wenige Studien an Menschen durchgeführt wurden, sodass eine präzise Bestätigung dieser Eigenschaften weitere wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen erfordert.

Flächenbildender Boden zur Gewichtsreduktion

Die zugeschriebenen abnehmenden Eigenschaften des Fettkörpers stammen wahrscheinlich aus der These der reduzierten Verdauung und damit auch der Umwandlung des Stoffes durch die in den Körper gesammelten Toxine. Ihr Vorhandensein scheint auch die Cholesterinproduktion im Körper zu fördern. Nach dieser Theorie behindert die Akkumulation von Toxinen in den Adipocytes (Fettzellen) den Fettwechsel und somit auch die effektive Reduktion von Fettgewebe. Das Wirken des Fettkörpers zielt daher auf die Entgiftung des Körpers (dank seiner absorptionsfähigen Eigenschaften) ab, um die Konsistenz dieser Prozesse aufrechtzuerhalten. Leider fehlt es in diesem Bereich ebenfalls an ausreichenden wissenschaftlichen Beweisen, die die Wirksamkeit eines solchen Mechanismus und seinen Einfluss auf den menschlichen Verdauungstrakt bestätigen. Mit dem aktuellen Stand des Wissens kann auch die These über empfohlene Entgiftungsperioden des Körpers als mythisch angesehen werden, da im Körper spezialisierte Einheiten vorhanden sind, die eine Ansammlung von Toxinen aus der Nahrung effektiv verhindern.

Diatomeenerde - unerwünschte Wirkungen

Aus physiologischer Sicht ist die Einnahme von Diatomeenerde unbedenklich, da sie nicht in den Blutkreislauf gelangt und der Verdauungstrakt sie problemlos ausscheidet. Allerdings sollte man das Einatmen größerer Mengen vermeiden, da dies zu Reizungen der Atemwege, Husten, Atemnot und in schweren Fällen zu schweren Lungenerkrankungen führen kann. Laut epidemiologischen Daten aus dem Jahr 2013 waren solche Zustände für fast 46.000 Todesfälle verantwortlich. Einige Anwender berichten zudem über grippeähnliche Symptome.

Einfluss von kalkhaltigem Boden auf die Nierenfunktion

Trotz begrenzter Forschungsergebnisse zum Einfluss von kalkhaltigem Boden auf die Nierenfunktion deuten alle vorhandenen Daten auf mögliche negative Auswirkungen hin. Während der Supplementierungsphase wird empfohlen, die Flüssigkeitszufuhr zu steigern, da dieser Bodentyp die Bildung von Nierensteinen begünstigen und zur Ansammlung von Silizium führen kann.
