That is some pretty sweet science! Lets hope it pans out and does help "curing" cancer.

NOW, as far as your title.....I've been using diatoms for over 33 years with the water-filled hole I have in my backyard. It's call DE, and stands for Diatomaceous Earth. It is the fossilized remains of diatoms, which act as a filter medium, filtering the water in my pool. So diatoms have had a use....for some time.....and extremely effective in producing crystal clear water.

DE is also an excellent deterrent for fleas and insects in general.
