Activated Charcoal (You should know this)

Not only that but its so important to have a decent supply that you should buy it in bulk for cheap at aquarium supply stores and grind it up as needed for air or water filtration or internal use.
Since it's created by fire and usually from coconut husks, it should be safe to use from its original packaging.

Dont pay crazy expensive health food prices, it all comes from the same place.

bump

so what are the benefits

It absorbs poison in your digestive tract. Everyone should have it on hand for emergencies. Cured my girl of a nasty case of suspected botulism in about an hour.

thank you!

for Any sort of poisoning this is a brilliant bit of emergency kit!

In my med stores I have pouches of activated charcoal to deal with all sorts of suspected poisonings.

I coughing some blood and a complete wreck at 7 this morning, only taken some expired benedryl and 560mg of activated charcoal and honestly feeling... ok....

Feel sick, but not dying from some crazy poisoning from mowing backwards over a slew of ivy & sumac...

They used it since ancient times to prevent being poisoned at feasts. They used to poison the wine to get rid of their competitors. They used to put pieces of toasted (busnt) bread in the cups of wine to neutralize the poison. That's from where comes the custom to "make a toast" at a feast.

Thread: Creepy Ass Charcoal Cracka!!!

and clay, birds eat it

Am I missing something?

nice bit of history regarding the toast, I think just for the purity I will still get my char pills from vita store . How often do I really need them. I still mine from 7 yrs ago and never used it.

Activated Charcoal is harmless when ingested or inhaled, or when it comes in contact with the skin.

Thread: Activated Charcoal

it is a standard medicine that all ambulances have on hand

Does it only kill outside poisons or does it also kill off infections? Like an abscess tooth for instance. Can it prevent the spread of an abscess?

And coincidentally my wife had some in her supplies.


There, I fixed it for you.

Bullcrap. So totally not true. People used to put spiced bread in their wine. Burnt toast was not used to neutralize poison.

I keep it in my dogs first aid kit

Very handy stuff. We force pill OD patients to drink a bottle of it in the ER. Definitely a life saver. Worst part about it is when it exists the body. Either in a nasty sticky puke or a nasty sticky poop.

nice

I once "poisoned" my cat by putting a cheap, CHINESE brand flea solution on him (I put it on both cats, but he licked it off the other one). Found him 2 days later, all swollen mouth, and drooling out of side of his mouth....could barely breathe.

Took him the vet, and they told me he was HIV positive and I should just "put him down now before he gets worse." That wasn't MY solution, so I took him home and began researching.

I realized I had put something on him that he had ingested it (after I thought about what had transpired for the past few days, and what he could have possibly gotten into).

When I realized it was the FLEA POISON, I research the brand, found out it was ONE MOLECULE DIFFERENCE from Frontline (or one of the better-known brands, but was MANUFACTURED IN CHINA), so that ONE MOLECULE was the difference of it working on the fleas or the animal, or being toxic, and it had literally POISONED HIM.

So I continued researching a cure, and found out activated charcoal would absorb it out of his system. It worked and 8 years later, he's still with us!!!

I LOVE THE STUFF, and wouldn't be without it in my house.

WTF???? You might want to consider a new vet.

but can I eat it?...

Fullerene a form of carbon was found to double the age span in humans , as always gets suppressed by big farma and its cost skyrockets as its restricted ...$260USD per gram.

people use to eat chalk, supposedly good for you.

Chemicals are used to activate the charcoal. ..

Very hard to find charcoal that doesn't have the chemicals added. ..

ARE YOU PEOPLE REAL? a detox ? ingestion ? just clean me up ?
