I saw this post on a list and thought I would share here regarding the benefits of activated  charcoal:

You asked if charcoal should be given with the LW patches...YES.
AND here is an old post that explains the MANY benefits of A. Charcoal.
I personally think it is one of the MOST important supplements we can take.
( Two hours away from other supplements)
Many of our protocols stir up the metals and toxins and die-off
and these things can get caught up in organs and be problematic
unless they are bound out... and charcoal helps do that well.

Here are some wonderful benefits of Activated Charcoal....
from the book called CharcoalRemedies. from
I bought the book in Feb.after seeing it listed on
www.buyactivatedcha www.buyact
If you buy more than 2 on Amazon..shipping is free.

pgs.158-159.

RE: Yeast/fungus infections:

Richard Kaufman, Ph.D., is a bio-nutritional chemist.
He reports.."Activated charcoal can be an effective adjunct
to any regimen for the treatment of systemic Candida albicans
infections". The toxins produced by Candida,are
effectively adsorbed by charcoal.

Charcoal curbs the growth of intestinal-based yeasts,
and it counteracts the Herxheimer reaction.
When, as a result of a successful treatment, there is
a large die -off of yeast cells, there is a severe, short term
aggravation of Candida symptoms due to the increased
amount of toxins produced. The Herxheimer reaction is often
SO UNPLEASANT that patients ABANDON treatment before completion.

Taking activated charcoal is one method for alleviating the
symptoms of yeast die-off so that patients can continue their
treatment and NOT SUFFER.

Dr Kaufman suggests 20-30 grams of activated charcoal a day
in divided dosages on an empty stomach until the problem
is eliminated.. is eliminated..<wbr>. The larger amount is
situations. He recommends NOT taking charcoal within
two hours of required medications.

(RE: Oxalates...from Sue... since Candida overgrowth/ arabinose
is correlated with high amts. of oxalates it makes sense that charcoal
MAY help control oxalates as well...
( I notice when I eat high oxalate foods I muscle test needing more charcoal.
and it makes me feel better after taking it .)

RE: PHENOLS...pg. 172...
David Cooney, a University of Wyoming chemist, showed that
Charcoal had a High adsorptive capacity for PHENOLS...But
while the TOXIC PHENOLS adhered to the charcoal, the proteins did not.

(Thomas Struhsaker of Duke, was studying the RED Colobus monkeys on Zanzibar Island,
Tanzania.... Tanzania....<wbr>who ate leaves that were High in p
and found they instinctively eat the charred stumps, logs and branches...
to get their charcoal...to off set the Phenols in the leaf diets.)

RE: Colitis, Crohn's disease, IBS... Activated is to be taken internally by
babies or those with sensitive digestion ... MANY MANY pages cited.on this.

A. Charcoal is good for DIGESTION
and for HALATOSIS... and for HALATOSIS...<wbr>/ba
& swirled in the mouth and swallowed.

For VIRAL infections..
Pgs.63-64

"However in their article, Buckminsterfulleren "However in their
Inactivation of Viruses," 13 chemists Kasermann and Kempf, working in conjunction with the Swiss Red Cross, explore a new interesting alternative
namely the use of C60 ---buckministerfull namely
You will remember that scientists found C60 in wood charcoal.
A water soluble C60 derivative was tested for antiviral activity.
The compound showed a potent and selective activity against HIV-1 in acutely and chronically infected cells. In part this was attributed to INHIBITING the virus'abitlity to replicate. No adverse effects to the cells were observed.
Furthermore , none of the eighteen tested mice died within the test period when the compound was injected into their peritoneal cavity."

"These findings should not be unexpected. SCIENTISTS HAVE LONG KNOWN THAT CHARCOAL IMPREGNATED SWABS SHOULD NOT BE USED IN VIRAL RESEARCH, AS THE CHARCOAL TENDS TO SHUT DOWN VIRAL ACTIVITY.

THIS RESEARCH LOOKED INTO THE ACTIONS OF C60 IN DAMAGING THE ENVELOPES THAT PROTECT A NUMBER OF DEADLY VIRUSES INCLUDING HEPATITIS A ,B,C,HIV-I & II, AND HUMAN PAROVIRUS B19.
The latest research represents the expanding field of charcoal in medical technology.
But,'whereas the average person will not be able to use the concentrated C60 available to researchers. But,'whereas the average person will not be able to use

PG. 65 ... In summary..
Drs .Trash tell about a traveler who contracted
E.COLI BACTERIUM in Mexico.
Who AFTER EIGHT MEDICINES for the disease
and 12 days later STILL SUFFERED... and
asked the 2 Doctors Thrash for a NATURAL remedy.....
After drinking One tablespoon of charcoal in a glass of water followed by
another full glass of water every time he had a loose stool.. within 2
DAYS --he was well....Now he aways travels with charcoal.

"For all the fear that surrounds ANTHRAX, Hipporcates and
Pliny both recorded the ability of charcoal to effectively
RENDER harmless this extremely INFECTIOUS bacteria.
Besides defusing biological agents such as ANTHRAX , charcoal has been found to be highly effective in neutralizing mustard gas. Other simple neutralizing agents
include mild acids (5% Clorox) and bases. " 6=footnote.

Summary...

A puppy had contracted parvovirus..
since the family could not afford shots.
Parvo typically produces a noticeable smell.
but the poor pup had a PUTREFYING odor.
The prognosis is not good at this stage.
as most animals die at this stage.

Since--- she knew that charcoal helps
Very bad odor from wounds---
she gave activated charcoal to the dog
in his prepared dog food...
and another dose before sleeping.
The dog was completely WELL by morning
with no further problems.

Halitosis:-- Halitosis:--<wbr>--- can stem from indigestio
and putrefaction in the stomach....ETC.
...and Activated charcoal
has helped my 23 yr. old son... and others in the book called.
Charcoal remedies.com by John Dinsley.

We use the Country Life Brand.. and he muscle tests well using
2 pills after each meal...but use 2 hours away from supplements or meds.
(He lives in his own condo but..I think he still uses it?)

My husband and I often need 5-9 pills at least once per day.often at BEDTIME
.since we use LW Glutathione and Carnosine booster patches..
so we have continual dieoff toxins that is best mopped
up with the charcoal.... per muscle testing...
Even with no OUTward signs..

Other times.. if I have loose stools... A/charcoal is great
to keep that under control as well ...)

FYI---Vomiting can be controlled with A/C within 3 applications
even if it is brought up two times.. usually it resolves within
3 times... after being stomach sick according to the doctors in this book
and others I know who used it.
