Guest guest Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 , Don't they use charcoal for accidental or on purpose drug overdose in hospitals? Charcoal question As a chemist I find it difficult to understand how activated charcoal can remove toxins from the colon. I would expect it to become saturated with all kinds of compounds met on route through the stomach, etc. A search of the archives for charcoal messages gives 390 but many of them are follow-ups. I haven't trawled through them all to find how many individual reports of success there are. Is this a well established detoxification technique? Anyone have any key references?Grandfather of Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Charcoal is a favourite diarrhea remedy in France......since many decades.....( also Lacto Bacilllus) that's all I can add. No idea about the biochemical aspect....Must have something to do with the " C" molecule.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Thank you and . You are right. I've done a Google search (should have done it first!) and found many applications, e.g. removing poisons from the stomach and curing inflammation of the prostate by a charcoal enema! I'm still intrigued by the possiblilty that charcoal can retain activity as far down as the colon without becoming saturated. Since my daughter is thinking of trying charcoal when her son Luke has a yeast die off, I would be interested to hear of any successful applications of this type. > > Charcoal is a favourite diarrhea remedy in France......since many decades.....( also Lacto Bacilllus) that's all I can add.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 charcoal is great but it hoovers up everything, good and bad and then can stop dead. So we only give it with oxypowder in a lovely (not) grey smoothie that not only absorbs but moves. OR beats, as it sweeps as it cleans for anyone old enough to remember whatever that old hoover ad was. > > > > > > Charcoal is a favourite diarrhea remedy in France...... since many > > decades.....

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Sally, I've done a PubMed search and found reports of failure in the context of the colon, e.g. charcoal failed to reduce the liberation of faecal gas possibly due to saturation of charcoal binding sites during passage through the gut; such saturation was my concern in my original post. In another example, charcoal failed to reduce systematic endotoxaemia in colitis (though this was in a rat model). However as often happens one can find successes as well as failures e.g. charcoal reduced the symptoms of bloating and abdominal cramps and breath hydrogen levels (a measure of gas produced in the colon). Antone had success with charcoal in treating yeast die off? > > > > Thank you and . You are right.

I used to give GSE, wait 45 minutes during which n would be a screaming violent mess, and then give him charcoal, which he called the Magic Pill. In 15 minutes he was fine. Eventually the GSE would only cause improvement, with no horrid die-off symptoms, but that was many many chelation rounds later.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 I dragged myself from my bed at 3am after polishing off a rather robust red. Three charcoals and a pint of water, no hangover at all. Quite dangerous really! > > I wish you had written this two days ago as I had a terrible hangover this morning... > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
