Hemorrhoids
As
I have suffered for many years with Hemorrhoids I have found myself
trying everything possible to obtain relief. It is sad when you have
gone as far as using Ambesol. To say the least the pain is
excruciating. A friend had offered FREEdHEM to
me and looking at the color and reading the box I was hesitant at first
as I thought to myself what can this do for me when nothing else
helped. To my surprise and end of suffering. FREEdHEM
was the answer I had been looking for. This product does what it
SAYS... It is a relief to know that when that PAIN occurs I have a
product that will do its job. As we all know it is very embarrassing to
talk about heroics. But I felt as a sufferer for many years I needed to
share the good find with everyone, so they to will be free of PAIN.
Good luck and thanks for the great product. Try it you have nothing to
lose but the pain.

Vomiting & Dirrhea
"Hello,
This morning I had vomiting and diarrhea from something I ate. It was
the worst I have ever experienced. I tried to take water so I wouldn't
be dehydrated but I would expel more than I took in. I took charcoal
capsules right away but they didn't seem to help. So then I took some
charcoal slurry and that helped a bit.
After checking on your site (I couldn't find my copy of your book CharcoalRemedies.com The Complete Handbook of Medicinal Charcoal) I did the [charcoal] jelly poultice and put it on my belly for half an hour. My stomach was really painful before. Now I feel so much better. It's almost miraculous, the change in such a short time.
Thank you so much, Pam California September 2008
Pain Patches
Up until last month we had carried a product called Golden Miracle pads
touted to be a pain patch. We had not received any feedback, positive
or negative, so we decided to discontinue the product. Shortly after,
Leslie contacted us asking what happened to the pads? We told her that
we had not received any feedback so we decided to discontinue them.
Leslie sent in her experience with using them and we decided to restock
them again. It has been our experience and the experience of some
guests to our site that what may work for some does not guarantee it
will work for others. We know that charcoal, as a medicinal, has a long
rich history and its applications are numerous, that it has helped
countless individuals with varied conditions. BUT charcoal is not a
Cure-All! If what has worked for another does not work for you, we
encourage you to keep searching - in most cases there is another simple
natural remedy that will help. In Leslie's case she found a simple
remedy that has helped her to manage one of the most difficult of
conditions - pain.
"Dear John, I was introduced to the Golden Miracle pads by an acupuncturist here in the Portland, OR metro area. I used them on my neck and chest to treat pain from an injury I sustained in car accident. The pads worked really well and I really enjoyed using them.
Pigeons
Gary raises racing pigeons, about 150 of them.
“That granular charcoal (GAC48C) really works. I mix a ratio of 1 scoop of charcoal to 5 scoops of regular grit and just have it there for them every day. I’ve noticed that their general health is better – better droppings and better feather quality. I’ll be telling all my pigeon friends.” Gary Texas August 2008
Nausea
Chad is a commercial airline pilot and suffers with periods of intense nausea.
“I don’t know what the cause is. Doctors have done blood work, ultra sound, EKGs, and they still don’t know what the problem is. They have suggested different drugs but the only thing that has helped is charcoal powder. I get really nauseous but never actually vomit. But when I take charcoal powder in water within 20 minutes, no matter how bad I feel, the nausea disappears. I’d like to order more (USP Powder Fine). Chad Georgia Aug 2008
Zantac for Baby Colic???
"I found Colic Calm
when searching the internet for a natural treatment for reflux. My
little 3 week old baby was put on Zantac and I wasn't happy about
putting chemicals in her tiny, pure body. I call Colic Calm "black
gold" as it has helped her so very much. I only give her 1/4 teaspoon 3
times a day and she doesn't spit up anymore and she's regular too! It
is truly a gift!

Malnourished?
Don
is a retired criminal investigator now investigating the medicinal
benefits of charcoal. His brother has a painful skin condition on one
leg and wondered if charcoal poultices or footbaths would help. Don
went on to tell me of his first acquaintance with charcoal as a
medicinal.
Don grew up in Chicago 52 years ago and one neighbor used to burn old products in his back yard including old furniture. At the time Don was 15-16 years old and he recalls one day he discovered another young child picking up pieces of burnt wood and chewing them. Don thought it was harmful and went and told the parents and the old neighbor. The parents were appalled but the old man kept assuring them there was nothing to worry about. Nevertheless the parents called the Emergency Squad who arrived with the police and the news media to investigate. “The police kept me there as a potential witness so I got to see and hear everything. The parents wanted to lay charges but the medic said there was absolutely no danger from eating the charcoal. But the issue was why was the child eating charcoal? The medic insisted the child was missing something nutritionally from his diet and so was instinctively trying to get it from something else.
Atopic Dermatitis
"Both
of my parents are practicing medical doctors and I am a medical
student. I suffered from Atopic Dermatitis for about 20 years. The
unbearable part about it was that it itched so much day and night. I
found out about activated charcoal therapy. I took activated charcoal
internally, took activated charcoal bath, and used activated charcoal
blanket. I am now free of atopic dermatitis and don't have any
itchiness. I used to take medications which didn't help at all. It's
amazing how activated charcoal healed my illness."

Insect Sting
A
few weeks ago, my husband and I were on our annual camping weekend (we
camp in leantos) with all of our married children and grandchildren. My
husband got a sting (deerfly or horsefly) and the area swells up. He
usually uses a commercial sting product, but he hadn't brought it. I
had brought some charcoal powder in our medical kit. He was hesitant to
use charcoal, however, I made a charcoal poultice and bandaged it. A
little while later, he said it didn't hurt anymore. The next morning
when he removed the bandage, all of the swelling was gone and you
couldn't even tell that he had been bitten. He seemed quite impressed.
What I like about charcoal is that there are not side effects. I used a
commercial product for poison ivy several years ago around my ankles
and got a terrible skin reaction that covered most of my legs from the
product. I was told by a physician that some peoples' skin is sensitive
to an ingredient in it. I use charcoal for a lot of things.

Old Self Again
"Your
website/all the info/all the stories...amazing. Just took some
activated charcoal after suffering from nausea for 3 days. Forgot I had
it on hand until this morning. Literally within the hour (less, I
think), I am feeling my old self again.

Varicose Ulcer
After reading our article on Varicose ulcers in our February Issue of CharcoalTimes (bottom article). Deb decided to try Activated Charcoal for her husband's varicose ulcer.
Deb
Gum Disease
It is not uncommon for someone to find BuyActivatredCahrcoal.com read
some of the amazing facts about medicinal charcoal or the diverse
testimonies and decide to purchase some activated charcoal for
themselves with no clear idea how they will use it when it arrives.
Here is some email dialogue with Lida.Lida, "I got a box of powdered charcoal. How do I use it to cure gum disease, or even just for cleansing my mouth at night?"We wrote, "For infections of the mouth, what has worked for some is to mix 1 Tablespoon of AC powder into water in a glass to make a thick charcoal slurry. Take enough slurry into your mouth so that you can easily swish it around, then hold it in your mouth as long as you can then spit it out. If you swallow any it will not harm you. You can also dip your toothbrush into the powder and lightly brush your teeth. You can also make a thick charcoal jelly (1 T charcoal powder + 1 T flax meal + enough hot water to make a thick jelly). You can pack the cheeks with this or put it into a gauze pouch and place it between the cheek and gums during the night. You should do these treatments regularly for at least 2 weeks. Type "Teeth" or "Tooth" in the Search window - it will show all the references to teeth on our website. Lida wrote back, "I thank you so much for helping with this. It really works! I feel more comfortable with my mouth now! I used a teaspoon of a activated charcoal powder. Put it into a big cup of water. Brushed my teeth with it. And yes, dipped my toothbrush in it too. Did it 3x daily. "I have been having a bad taste and a burning mouth or tongue feelings for some years now. Have been to the dentist, used strong mouth washer, it helped a little. But only for some hours. Brushed my teeth nearly every time I eat. Used toothpicks and zinc tablets, it helped too, but only for a short time. But after using activated powder i really felt a big difference in my mouth. I have been feeling better for a week now, ever since I started using it. Feel more comfortable with my mouth now. I'm really glad about it, coz it's terrible to suffer from bad breath when one works and talks to people everyday.Norway June 2008 We too are so thankful to all those who take the time to tell us of their experience. We want them to know that hundreds of people read these stories every week and it is the catalyst for them to try charcoal too. Thanks again!!
Lyme Disease
"I have Lyme Disease. LD treatment is worse than the disease itself. It
requires high dose antibiotics and that creates a die-off of lyme
toxins. My Lyme Md recommended activated charcoal to adsorb the "die
off" (which turns to ammonia and creates pain) I have NEVER in my life
seen anything like this substance, what a miracle! I am recommending
Activated Charcoal at forums to Lyme patients who suffer and need
detoxing that is safe. I was soooooo skeptical, but I have been made a
believer. My son also with LD, was so sick from "die off" I was going
to take him to the hospital, I gave him AC and within hours started to
return to "normal" within 4 days he was completely himself again. My
husband had a drug interaction, I gave him AC within 30 minutes he was
fine. It eliminates nausea, creates clearer thinking ...I can't name it
all. I have my own Lyme website www.truthaboutlymedisease.com and have
done thousands of hours of study regarding lyme and detoxing and never
heard of AC until my Lyme Md told us about it. All I can say is
AMAZING!!" To read more click on Truth About Lyme Disease
Ovarian Cyst
"I wanted to let you know that I used charcoal capsules for my ovarian
"golfball" size cist. I took the capsules for 3 days, 3 times a day, 2
pills, and at the end of the 3rd day, my ovarian pain was gone. I have
just had an ultrasound to confirm the size and was told to go back in 2
months to see how the cists was doing. I have had cists for the past 15
years and Dr.s say there is no answer except if they open up, you need
to go to the emergency room for pain meds. A friend told me to try this
and he was correct. It actually worked!!! I now don't have to say no to
golf or all my other activities. I use to have to stop running or
whatever spots I was doing, so as to make sure the cists did not burst.
Now, thank God, I can live a normal active healthy life... I can
actually plan an event,,, and attend. What a relief to have your life
back again!!!!! It's an answer to alot of prayers.”
Severely Infected Wound
Fred called looking for a granular charcoal for the homemade water filter he wants to make. But he also familiar with using charcoal medicinally. Here is another amazing story of healing using charcoal in conjunction with other well known healing herbs. "My wife tripped and fell on the tines of a rototiller giving herself a severe gash to the bone. She is a severe diabetic. After treating the wound for 3 days she called from work to tell me something was wrong and her leg was very painful. The leg had swelled up very quickly, became red and inflamed and oozed gobs of pus. I brought her home and packed the wound with golden seal and slippery elm, and wrapped the entire area with a charcoal poultice made from crushed charcoal and water. By the next day the wound was on the way to healing."

Colic
From a happy Auntie"Thanks for getting this (Colic Calm) shipped so fast!! It is really helping my sister with her new twins. You made me a hero by getting this to her so quickly. Have a great weekend!"Chris Virginia May 2008
Abscessed Tooth
"Greetings ! Thought I would tell you about something that I deal with
off and on. I have a tooth that has had a root canal and needs the
crown put on. Due to my procrastination and the considerable cost of a
crown I have put this off. Now and then this tooth will begin bothering
me. Intending to make an appointment for a crown, I go ahead and
temporarily deal the ache by emptying a tea bag of it's tea, filling it
with charcoal, wetting it, and then putting it beside my gum near the
aching tooth. It works ....quickly. I know, I do need to go and have
this taken care of, and I will, but the ready fix is very welcome.
Secondly, last week I travelled out of state. I try to always carry
charcoal with me. My friend and I bought ice cream from a well known
ice cream shop. In about an hour we were both nearly doubled over in
stomach/intestinal pain. We both took a charcoal caplet [capsule] and
were very quickly fine again."
Pedro learned about charcoal not long ago and quickly began experimenting with its many benefits. He writes from France how charcoal has helped with two of his mother's afflictions (she is a nurse). English is a third language for Pedro: Eye Pain
"I would like first to present some testimonies about charcoal: 1) Your Eye Pad is worth at. I was worried when my mother was loosing sight and thought to a inter tumor somewhere against one of her eyes (she has diabetes). But from the day she received and use the Eye Pad up to now, the pain surrounding her eyes is leaving and little by little she again can read Bible letters.
Tooth Abcess
"My mother suffered also
from abcess. She had infection and constant pain. The dentist had set
an appointment already between weeks to take off 6 of her teeth. That
urgent was it. Then I read in your site the recommendation of Dr. Dana on tooth abcess
with the tea bag [put charcoal from a capsule into an emprty tea bag] .
And after trying that, my mother tried each time one whole capsule on
both sides by the offending teeth, even without tea bag. That worked
even quicker as the capsule where placed. The pain was relieving so
rapidly with al that doings. Arriving by the dentist for him do his job
-taking off teeth-, he was astonished, because there was no infection,
no abcess and even no probability for these problems to occur again.
And that's how my mother preserved 6 of her teeth that are now healty,
thanks to the amazing charcoal our God have provided."
Hemorrhoids
We receive many questions if charcoal will work for this or that.
Recently Michele emailed us asking if charcoal would work for
hemorrhoids. Her friend had colon cancer and because he was taking
chemotherapy she was cautious about using charcoal for fear it might
interfere with the chemo. But the hemorrhoids were "VERY bad, but since
he is doing well with the treatment, they don't want to do surgical
intervention at this time."We were glad that we could recommend one of our products specifically formulated to help hemorrhoids FREE-dHEM. Michele purchase some for her friend and reported back. "Yes, it (FREE-dHEM) did work, thank you. The relief is not 100 percent with one treatment, but neither is it so with his prescription medicines. I plan on ordering more and will confer with you as to the recommended frequency of use in order to improve the level of relief. Thank you!"Michele April 2008
Acute Kidney Failure
"Another story of hope! My sister called to say our mom was not acting
right (she went into a nursing home in December of 2007, has
Alzheimer's and is 85 years old) but in fairly good physical condition.
So I called her doctor and he said the nurses had said she had been
acting strange the last week to ten days (they had also put her on a
medication for agitation about a week to ten days ago) but of course
that had nothing to do with it? At my sisters request they started
running tests, our mother had acute renal failure. They put her on an
IV, the doctor said, “Give it 24 hours and lets see”. The next day I
called and got the same answer, I hung up and called the airlines. Flew
from Texas to Illinois on Wednesday and went straight from the airport
to the nursing home, not knowing if I would see her the next day. The
next day Thursday, we went straight there and spoke with the doctor,
the minute he said she was so full of toxins and there wasn't much they
could do and they took her off of the IV. The minute he said toxins I
knew I had to try charcoal. I had taken a bottle with me to give to my
sister for her bowel problems. I broke open a couple of capsules and
mixed them up in some pudding on her tray, tiny bite by tiny bite I was
able to get them into her. The next day we noticed clear yellow urine
in her bag but the prognosis was no better. I did the same thing the
next day. Still clear urine but no change in the prognosis. When we
left the nursing home Friday night my sister and I both thought that
was the last time we would see our mother alive. Saturday grandkids and
great grandkids came to visit her and we warned them how bad it was.
When we walked in she opened her eyes looked around a lot and pointed
to my nephew and said his name. I was speechless and the tears started,
first I thanked God and then it hit me the charcoal! I continued the
use daily while I as there for the next four days. The doctor said it
was a miracle! Her kidneys have completely recovered.”Cindy Texas April 2008
Wound Dressings
"I am an RN, CWCN (certified wound care nurse) and have used charcoal
to clean up necrotic wounds. I have mixed charcoal and ground up flax
seed with great success, and read how someone had used ground psyllium
seed also with success, and will try that too. Of course, I can’t use
charcoal when I am treating someone in the hospital even though
dressings are made with charcoal in them.
Licken Simplex Chronicus - Severe Itching
"I was very hot all the time much more so than anyone that I worked
with in my office job for years. It was quite unbearable because
everyone else was cold. So I had multi acupuncture treatments to
supposedly help this situations but where 2 different needles had been
placed on my left ankle on the inside I became so itchy, it was driving
me crazy. I was finally diagnosed by my medical doctor with Licken
Simplex Chronicus which is usually caused by insect bites. All the
medical doctors want to do is to get a person to use cortisone cream. I
chose to try charcoal poultices instead and am very thankful that I
have done so. I have had relief for a few months and have just started
to use these charcoal poultices again. I am so thankful for charcoal."
Stop Smoking
"I've
been so sick for so long. Anorexia/bulemia and using cigarettes to deal
with the pain: emotional, spiritual, physical. My doctor gave me a
scrip: 2 meal per day (vegan); don't eat after 3 p.m. (trying: my issue
is night-time binging or I cannot sleep - it's like paying a
terrorist); and 1 T. activated charcoal in glass of water 2-3 x /day.
This is saving my life. When I would try to stop eating wrong or
smoking I would have such dreadful detox sickness that I would have to
[have a] "pick up". But the charcoal makes not smoking now (7 days)
possible. Also, please have mercy on me; will you pray to Jesus for me:
I don't know how or what to eat for just two meal/day. Thanks, Editor:
Mayo Clinic
K. works at the Mayo Clinic and is a great fan and advocate of medicinal charcoal.
"Hello from India - Ear Infection"
“I just went
through your site. I would like to know if I can put charcoal paste
into my ears as I have been suffering from ear infection since a month
now and have taken a lot of antibiotics too. Please let me know if it
is safe to put activated charcoal paste into the ear. I remember my
doctor telling me that I do have a fungal sinusitis infection that is
maxillary sinusitis. I used to take in charcoal water through my
nostrils and it did help me a lot. But can I use the same for my ears
too?” Editor:
Virginia replied late in March:
Mercury Fillings
“Thank you kindly for your help. I've reordered the product and received a confirmation email for the new purchase.
Shingles in Eye
“The
reason I need so much charcoal is that my mother has a terrible case of
shingles in her eye and the medications the doctors have her on weren't
doing much good. She got an infection from the shingles and a second
infection from the steroids. I finally was able to convince her to let
me help and have been making charcoal and flax seed poultices for her
eye and she finally can open that eye. After a few hour she could feel
charcoal pulling out the infection. I take her to an ophthalmologist to
monitor her progress and she is doing much better. It will still be a
long while until she gets better it seems.”
Diabetic Ulcers
I asked the folks at Alive Inn if they used charcoal medicinally. They replied:
Russia & Ukraine
Happy New Year!
Dear John,
I am going on a trip to Ukraine next Wednesday for 2 weeks to give
lectures. Is it ok to use your pictures on some Power Point slides and
handouts for a large seminar next weekend for 500 doctors and nurses from
Russia and Ukraine?
I will also be at Novi Obi Hody teaching
for a week after the weekend seminar near Kiev. Our people in those
countries need this info so much. It will be totally non-commercial.
I bought your book a year ago and love it. God blessed you with putting it together.
Your friend,
Roby Sherman, MD, Associate Medical Director, Wildwood Lifestyle Center & Hospital, Wildwood, GA
