Many years of research have proven that charcoal is a safe and very effective natural healing agent, and is free of side effects. Charcoal acts to purify and cleanse the body due to its amazing ability to attract to itself and absorb many poisons, heavy metals and toxins. In fact, charcoal can absorb thousands of times its own weight in gases, heavy metals, poisons and other chemicals, thus making these toxins harmless.

I have heard the story of a medical scientist who, before a crowd of medical doctors, drank strychnine -- enough to kill several men. Then he ate and washed down some charcoal, with no harm to himself.

Do not put dry charcoal powder directly in the mouth. Put the powder into a cup, mix just a little water with it. The power of charcoal is amazing. A mother's little two year old son ate half a bottle of aspirin before she caught him. She knew what to do. She put charcoal in a spoon, wet it with a little water, and poked it down him. Then she rushed him to the emergency room at the hospital. The hospital could find no trouble with the boy. Such is the power of charcoal.

The most easy to find charcoal is activated charcoal capsules. You can swallow the capsules, but if I were using it as an antidote for poisoning, I would open up the capsules into water and drink it. When charcoal is activated it becomes 2 to 3 times as effective as regular charcoal. Activation is accomplished by fine grinding and steam. Charcoal from burnt toast is worthless, and charcoal briquettes are dangerous due to the petro chemicals in the briquettes. Open up some capsules, place a spoonful in water or juice, and drink. Keep stirring as you drink. It is odorless and tasteless. The powdered activated charcoal reaches is maximum absorption extremely rapidly, within one minute after ingestion. Charcoal is harmless when ingested, harmless when it touches the skin, and harmless when it is inhaled.

Charcoal is considered the most valuable single remedy available for treating poisonings when used internally. When used externally, charcoal can give relief in spider bites, insect bites, and many snake bites. Every home, every medicine cabinet, every first aid kit, and every vehicle should have at least a small container of charcoal.

Charcoal has been used as a folk remedy as far back as recorded history. North American Indians used it for the treatment of gas pains. Physicians and natural healers have used charcoal throughout the world for over 200 years. Hippocrates, as well as ancient Egyptian doctors used it.

It has a multitude of uses: The most common are: an antidote for poisoning, absorbing intestinal gas and odors, externally in packs to absorb wound secretions, bacteria and toxins, in packs to treat infections of the skin, face, ears, eyelids, and extremities. Good for diarrhea, bad breath, infection, inflammation, pain, indigestion, and for preventing intestinal infections. I hope to have given you a new look at an old remedy.
