Lyme disease and Bartonella, causing infection. Question: Hi, I am hoping to heal an infection in my gums and jawbone. I have Lyme disease and Bartonella, causing infection and dead bone in my jawbone, among other things. I’ve had 28 surgeries on my jawbone and lost all of my teeth. I’ve read some of your posts on healing dental infections. My challenge is 1) I’m targeting the entire mouth/gum line, not just one or two small areas and 2) I have no teeth to help hold the charcoal poultice between the cheek and the gums. Any thoughts? I have to imagine there have been others who have tried to treat […]

Storing Activated Charcoal Patches (Made with Psyllium Husk Powder) Question: Charcoal Patches How long will any leftovers keep? Where do I store it? Or should I make just enough? -Selena Answer: Hi. When making the charcoal patch, you can store the patches for future use in your freezer of which we recommend using them up within three months. However, if you want to store the gel which is now in the form of a putty, ideally you want to place it in a glass jar with a tight seal and place it in the fridge and it should easily keep for a week.

How and When to take Activated Charcoal

13/01/2019

That said, I’m not so sure we are supposed to take charcoal at night because doesn’t it go right to the digestive tract? DO you know if instead it helps at night because the Liver and Kidney are working all the time as you can imagine ;). Thanks for any knowledge you have run across that lines up when to take charcoal. And, we don’t have to take it on an empty stomach, right? Cheers, M Answer: […]

Romaine Lettuce E-coli and Activated Charcoal

03/12/2018

E-coli, Activated Charcoal & Life’s other little emergencies. E coli, such as this last nasty strain found in the Romaine lettuce at our favorite grocery stores…… With the holidays upon us and an e coli scare just behind us, be sure to always have handy your activated charcoal in case of life’s little emergencies. When I am dining out and concerned about the food I am about to ingest, I take six charcoal capsules just before I eat and six capsules immediately afterwards. This not only protects me from possible e coli but also adsorbs the MSG or some other dreaded excito-toxin that is famous for giving me nasty headaches. […]

Does Charcoal Adsorb Electrolytes?

22/10/2018

Charcoal and Electrolytes Question:  I have diarrhea and am taking charcoal tablets to stop it.  I am going to try a charcoal poultice also.  I’m dehydrated and was wondering if the charcoal adsorbs electrolytes? I have found your site very informative and helpful, especially with the youtube instructions.  I also have your book. Thank you, Janet Answer: Hello Janet. The simple answer and good news is’no, the activated charcoal will not adsorb your electrolytes.’ Depending on how severe your diarrhea is, you might need to be taking more than just a few charcoal tablets. Taking a heaping tablespoon or more of the activated charcoal powder would be more in line to […]

03/09/2017

Activated Charcoal question on removing toxins. Cellular Toxins Question: Does Activated Charcoal take toxins at cellular levels, ie from all the systems and not just inside the digestive system? thank you Answer: Good question, of which the answer is yes! Activated charcoal is simply amazing. When applied topically, such as with a poultice, or as a gel, or cream where you apply it directly to the skin, activated charcoal can adsorb toxins from deep tissue. In our most recent newsletter we share the story with pictures of a horse that had been bitten by a brown recluse spider. The wound did not respond to the antibiotics and was getting so bad you could […]
