Charcoal and its Effectiveness

INJURY There was a lady who had injury underneath her eyes after falling. Her whole head was painful and her cheeks were swollen. After applying a hot charcoal poultice, her pain and swelling subsided. A boy fell on a rock and injured his knee severely. He was taken to the doctor but there was no improvement of his injury. He was given hot and cold treatment twice a day followed with a charcoal poultice. A few weeks later, his swelling was gone and his health returned again.

FEVER Don't use ice on the head when fever is present. Use cold water instead. Use hot poultice over the abdomen area. Place a charcoal poultice and heat on the abdomen and drink charcoal mixed with water. It's more effective to use hot water than cold ice.

INFECTION OF THE EYES AND EARS When the eye gets red due to infection, apply poultice. If the eye feels better with a hot poultice, apply hot charcoal poultice. Otherwise, use a cold charcoal poultice. For ear infection, apply charcoal poultice externally over the infected ear.

HALITOSIS (BAD BREATH) Brush teeth with charcoal powder or hold charcoal tablet in the mouth. Avoid overeating and snacking. Use charcoal tablet in the mouth or rub charcoal powder on the infected area for infection or sore.

SNAKE OR SPIDER BITE Mix charcoal powder with olive oil or flaxseed powder and water. Put over the bite to relieve pain and adsorb poison. Use a charcoal poultice as soon as possible. In case of snake bite, change the poultice every 10-15 minutes and take 10 tablets or 2-3 tablespoons of charcoal. If the pain continues, place ice bag over the bite and continuously injestcharcoal. 

INFLAMMATION AND INFECTION Activated charcoal adsorbs bacteria, virus, bacterial poison, hormone, tissue fluid, and pus to prevent swelling and infection from external wounds, bacteria, poison, and allergies. Renowned leader of preventive medicine Ellen G. White wrote, "When the patient was agonizing due to pain and indicated that he was dying, I recommended charcoal poultice. I have suggested use of charcoal and the patient was able to fall into deep sleep and was healed. I prescribed this treatment to the students who had infection due to injury on the hand. Infection was removed; pain was relieved and was quickly healed. I think you might laugh at this but if I could give this treatment a strange name and use it then it would be effective to a well-known doctor."

INFANT JAUNDICE An infant had a high bilirubin level was given charcoal water (1/2 teaspoon mixed with a cup of water) every 2-3 hours. It's more effective to feed charcoal water when the infant is 4 hours than 12 hours. Feed charcoal water to infant until baby can't drink anymore. Remove all clothing and sunbath baby 1 hour per day.

SORE MOUTH, THROAT AND TONSILLITIS Rub charcoal powder inside the mouth. Use charcoal powder to brush teeth. Mouth will be blackened but the healing will be faster because charcoal will cleanse the mouth. In some cases, sleep with the charcoal tablet. Soar throat is healed also with the same method. Use the same method for tonsillitis and apply charcoal poultice for faster recovery.

SPRAIN Few months ago, my mom called, asking what she should do for ankle sprain. I told her to place the ankle in the hot water for 3 minutes and the cold water for 30 seconds and keep going from hot water to cold water for 15-20 minutes. Then make a charcoal poultice to place over her sprained ankle. After that regimen, she became a missionary because she has experienced the effectiveness of charcoal.

BEE STING I was stung on the cheek; my friend on the palm, my neighbor was stung on the right eyelid, and another person on his leg. All of us used charcoal poultice over and were able to experience relief.

GASOLINE, PETROLEUM, LIGHTER GAS Intake large amount of charcoal to adsorb these toxins. 

DAMAGED LIVER Charcoal adsorbs poisons from the bloodstream which stops the spreading of poison caused by damaged liver. Take large dose of charcoal to prevent blood from getting poisoned. 

IMPROPER METABOLISM Six adult kidney failure patients were given activated charcoal for 4-8 weeks. Their triglyceride level was decreased by 67%. The patients experience itchiness due to chronic kidney failure can benefit from taking charcoal. 

INGESTED POISONOUS MUSHROOM A person who ingested poisonous mushrooms within the past 24 hours can be effectively treated by charcoal. An unconcious patient should be administered charcoal by the gastrointestinal method. 

PAIN Abdominal pain, pain from sore throat, sprain, arthritis, pleurisy, and any other pain can be relieved by charcoal poultice. It only takes 10 minutes to subdue pain. 

SYMPTOMS FROM OVER USING TYLENOL, ASPIRIN Take charcoal. As soon as poisonous substance was taken, take charcoal (twice as much as the poisonous substance) mixed in water. Continue to take charcoal (8-10 times more than the poisonous substance). 

ANEMIA AND PAIN DUE TO CANCER Anemia due to poison caused by cancer can be treated with charcoal. The hemolytic poison can be adsorbed by charcoal and pain in other parts of the body can be relieved by charcoal poultice. The dog that had cancer was treated with charcoal poultice, was cured of cancer whereas the mouse didn't have such a great result. 

PROPERTIES OF CHARCOAL

Because charcoal can pack molecules of ammonia gas into its crevices, it can attract and hold 80 quarts of ammonia gas per one quart of pulverized charcoal! This process is called adsorption, or attaching onto rather than taking inside, as in absorption.

In 1733, Scheele made an experiment with charcoal in which a gas was trapped in an inverted tube with charcoal, the lower end of the tube being submerged in a container of mercury. As the gas was adsorbed by the charcoal, a vacuum appeared in the tube and sucked the mercury up into the tube.

Pharmacist P.F. Touery, in 1831, making a demonstration of the effectiveness of charcoal before the French Academy of Medicine, survived after swallowing 15 grams of strychnine (ten times the lethal dose) and an equal amount of charcoal --about three tablespoonfuls.

Charred toast and other scorched food in the kitchen are fats, carbohydrates, and mineral salts, the very parts burned away in charcoal, leaving only charred cellulose.

The skeletal structure remaining in true charcoal is inert, where as the remaining substances in charred food can react unhealthfully with the body, and even act as cancer-producing agents.

The activation process was not invented until after the turn of the 20th century, but charcoal was already recognized as a useful healing agent even though only regular charcoal was then in use.

Following activation of charcoal with pressurized steam or strong acid, the surface area of one cubic centimeter is 1,000 square meters!
This expanded surface is due to the fact that charcoal particles have thousands of crevices, pits, grooves, and holes which, when opened out, make quite a large surface area.
