Conjunctivitis - Pink Eye

Charles is 56 and suffers with MS. After reading the book CharcoalRemedies.com (p.133) he decided he would try the simple charcoal slurry water for his ongoing case of conjunctivitis.

 

"My eyes were red and inflamed. A yellow sticky liquid oozed from my eyes. This had been ongoing for over a year. June 14 I mixed 1 capsule of charcoal powder with ½ teaspoon of salt plus 4 oz. of water. For 2 weeks I would let a few drops from an eyedropper run over my eyes. I noticed a marked improvement within a week, but then it got worse and the discharge came back again. So I took 10 capsules and mixed the charcoal with ½ teaspoon of salt and 8 oz. of water, and boiled it to sterilize it. When it was cooled down I used the eyedropper to put a few drops in my eyes and repeated that 10 to 12 times thru the day. Then the discharge suddenly stopped. My eyes are not as white as some of those movie stars but they are better than they have been in years!"

"Dear john, I just loved reading your book! (CharcoalRemedies.com) I am really interested in any seminars or workshops you might do.
 
I also want to add, that in June I flew to California to see family and I caught some sort of stomach bug or virus. I used fresh ginger for nausea the first day and oil of oregano for intestinal cramping pain. The oregano worked for intestinal pain (cramping) but the nausea kept coming back and the gas pain was awful. By the end of day two I sent my husband to look for charcoal at Mothers store in Costa Mesa. He was skeptical and even said, “Are you sure you should try something new at a time like this, and do they even have charcoal?” I told him that I was not going to the hospital yet, that I was going to try the charcoal first and I knew that Mothers had a large homeopathic/vitamin section and that they were bound to have it so get going!  

 

I took two gel caps three times that night and the next day I upped the dosage to three then I got results within five to ten minutes. I did not care what the bottle said I took what was needed for relief. The bottle said no more than 16 gel caps in one day. I was taking three every two to three hrs. 24 hrs after I started taking charcoal, whatever was causing my stomach flu was taken care of, and, as for the gas pain and indigestion, it went away within minutes of taking charcoal.

 

I just loved how charcoal cleans your intestines out. Every time I had a bowel movement my stomach felt better and better. I was having a bowel movement 3 to 4 times in one day! You know, my dad used to say that normal bowel movement was three times a day, and now I agree with him because I know how good it feels now to get that ---- out of me! :)

 

Also to answer your question about whether the charcoal helped with my constipation? Yes, yes, yes!!!!

 

After I sent you my letter I got to thinking, (which I do a lot of) every time I fly on an airplane I get constipated. Maybe it has something to do with the fact my body does not like to go through the pressure. I mean heck, take example how our ears react sometimes when we fly? If the pilot does not pressurize the plane just so our ears can really hurt. Anyway, its food for thought....
 
I am interested in a newsletter big time if you start doing that.

 

I thank you so much for writing your book!!!!!!!!!!   By the way, I heard about you and your book listening to The Power Hour. Keep up the good work and Please, let me know if you come our way!!"

Ruptured Appendix

Marianne writes: "I have been using charcoal as a preventative and for medicinal purposes for quite some time, but I have two stories that I would like to share.

When my daughter was 13 she came down with what I thought was a flu. She had a stomachache and was sick in her stomach but did not vomit. I treated her by giving her charcoal capsules. When she was not feeling better the next day I rushed her to the hospital only to find out she had a ruptured appendix that had been ruptured for three days. She did not have the normal appendicitis pain, just a bad stomachache.

 

After being examined at the hospital we were told if she had not taken the charcoal she would be dead. The charcoal kept absorbing the poison in her stomach from the ruptured appendix."

 

"My oldest daughter got into a wasps nest and had over 35 stings on her legs, by the time I got her home (5 to 10 minute trip) her legs had swelled and welts had formed all over her legs, she couldn't walk. We slathered her down with a charcoal paste out in the sun and let it dry, and then rinsed it and slathered her down again, after the second time when we rinsed her legs off there was no swelling and no welts could be seen."

Clostridium difficile

Clostridium difficile - the major causative agent of colitis and diarrhea that often follows antibiotic intake. C. difficile infection represents one of the most common hospital infections around the world. USA - 3 million cases of diarrhea and colitis per year.

 

Terri is a children's book illustrator, herbalist, and also a wise grandmother. Terri wrote in an email: "I've been an herbalist for over 20 years and have found many uses for charcoal myself. My grandson is 14 months old and was just diagnosed with C-difficile. He was a preemie and put on antibiotics even though he didn't have an infection. Anyway, poor little guy was screaming in pain for over 6 months, it calmed down a little but he would have rounds of pain and diarrhea. Then the Drs finally found out what it was. I gave my daughter some charcoal mixed with bentonite clay and it worked wonders. He is much better now.  So, Yeh for Charcoal, and I just ran out!"

Sick Goats

When Ken and his family lived in Wisconsin they raised goats. Goats like to experiment with anything they can get in their mouths and, in spite of their iron guts, they do get sick sometimes. Ken writes: “We would burn birch logs in our fireplace and take the charcoal and grind it up and give it to our goats when they ate something that made them sick, and they would always recover. Before we learned to do this they would die.”

"Hi John. When I went to Tarawa, Rep. of Kiribati, South west of Hawaii, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, to visit my wife's parents and relatives. I arrived in Tarawa on the 12th of Dec. 2005 for a one-month visit, my wife and kids were already there for 4 months, and like many of the native population they had several boils and other tropical sicknesses. The boils I believe are due to diet - a high fat intake, not much fiber, and not enough vitamins and minerals. I started with my kids and gave them a big spoonful of charcoal mixed with a coconut syrup to make it taste good, to stop their recurring diarrhea. While they slept I put charcoal poultices on their bigger boils and treated their smaller soars with a topical cream. I also cleaned many people's wounds and showed the parents how to make charcoal poultices for themselves and their children.

 

One of my wife's cousins had been suffering with diarrhea for 2 weeks before he came to me. For a week I gave him activated charcoal orally before he told me that he was cured. I was visiting a good friend who has pretty well adopted me as his son, his leg was swollen from what I believed to be gout. I promptly started charcoal poultices on his leg at night while he slept, and in the morning I instructed him to start hydrotherapy - 3 minutes in hot water, and 30 seconds in cold, repeated 3 times, to get his circulation going. I also encouraged him to take fruit fasts for a couple of days at a time and to stop eating really fatty foods like pork, and refined foods. In the time that I was there I did not get any boils, thanks to a vegetarian diet, but I did get sick, and had diarrhea, which I treated with charcoal orally."

"We bought Cornish-rock broiler chicks, which were doing fine until they were 3 weeks old. Then we could not get their usual feed, which was un-medicated 22% protein feed for game birds. We had to substitute another brand. In a few hours the chicks began to get sick. They were gaping (gasping for breath,) and too weak to stand up. They refused to eat and had a very subnormal temperature. 15% of them died in two days. Many more were so sick that we didn't expect them to live. I looked up symptoms in a homeopathic book, and decided to give them Carbo-veg, which is made from charcoal of vegetable origin, in their drinking water. We had previously saved some other chickens that had been poisoned, by feeding them charcoal. Charcoal is noted for antidoting the effects of spoiled or bad foods. I also gave them granulated coconut-shell charcoal to eat. All of them ate it readily. The next morning the survivors looked quite healthy again and were eating and drinking well. I was able to get the game bird starter again at that time. I think the substitute feed contained rancid fats, very rotten meat scraps, and/or GM corn."

"My dad made me a cheese and raw onion sandwich which promptly gave me horrible indigestion. I had terrible burping no Tums or Mylantra would take care of! But activated charcoal took care of it within half an hour.

As a child my aunt, a pharmacist, gave my cousin charcoal for some GI upset and she recovered quickly. I always remembered that.

Great site! Need to direct more traffic here!”

"I couldn’t stand to watch my fish die in the aquarium so I decided to cloud the water with charcoal powder. Next morning all the fish had revived!”

“I was a nurse working at a nursing home with 320 beds. From December 31, 1987 to January 10, 1988, there was a severe case of infectious flu and diarrhea among 23 patients. When the flu first manifested itself, we used following program: 1- a binding diet, 2 - Tylenol, 3 - Enteric Precaution, 4 - Kaopectate, 5 – continued to check the feces. Even after the treatment, there was no sign of progress. I convinced the administrator to use charcoal. It was difficult at first to convince the doctors who had been trained in conventional medicine. After much convincing, they agreed to use charcoal. We picked 5 of the worst cases and treated them with charcoal. At first 4 capsules were administered to the 5 patients and we saw the diarrhea stop immediately. On the second day, capsules were given to the patients twice. Through charcoal treatment, all of the patients suffering the flu recovered quickly.

After this experience, there were many staff members who were interested in charcoal usage both internally and externally. Because of this experience, our nursing home used charcoal as a routine treatment: begin with 4 activated charcoal capsules, followed with 2 capsules for 48 hours as long as diarrhea continues.”

“One 89-year-old patient at our nursing home had to be watched constantly. One morning, as the assistant nurse was cleaning her table after breakfast, the patient quickly took a bottle of rubbing alcohol and drank the whole bottle. We took her to the emergency room. After 6 hours, the patient was sent back to us. When we read her record from the emergency room, we found out that she was sent back after watching her carefully, without giving her any treatments, because we had administered charcoal before she was sent to emergency room. She had no side effects or any other health problems."
