... Activated charcoal has been used for years in the ER to absorb toxins after inadvertent exposure to chemicals and to absorb medications after accidental overdoses. The multipurpose treatment has also been prescribed for digestive conditions, especially those that cause gas and bloating. In addition, claims suggest the ingredient may help whiten teeth, improve complexion, lower cholesterol, prevent hangovers and boost energy.

Well that’s good to know, so you can stay far, far away from it.

Been debunked and this stupid, ignorant, moronic, idea of sucking down charcoal has been killing people.

That’s right, but it’s not new. And it can make you constipated.

Don’t use regular old charcoal briquettes. I don’t trust
the additives. - Get the kind from the health food store,
or Walmart pharmacy in capsule form.

I’ve tried it brushing my teeth. It stains the gums BLACK.
Not a good look. So, I use Arm & Hammer baking soda &
hydrogen peroxide or Uncle Harry’s tooth powder with
white pearl powder added to it. - I avoid fluoride.

That can be said of anything one buys.

Activated charcoal has great uses. Saves one from having to make their own.

“Activated charcoal has great uses. Saves one from having to make their own.”

From CVS (duh, take it after meals and it will absorb the vital nutrients from your food):

One of the finest natural absorbent agents. Each particle contains many small chambers and cavities that “capture” or bind-up unwanted materials and gas, which are safely carried out of the digestive system.
Satisfaction guaranteedTake two capsules after eating a meal as needed.

. In addition to adsorption of toxins, activated charcoal also adsorbs food nutrients, vitamins, and minerals.

So a daily shot of Kingsford will keep the doctor away?

The kind soaked in lighter fluid?

"Charcoal is known for removing poisons from the body, so it can do a lot right there. It’s not a bad thing to chug a glass of charcoal water on a daily basis. It won’t hurt you."

Bentonite can be used also like charcoal. Use it for a month and lots of crud will come out.

Tumeric did nothing for me. Took a large dose every evening for nearly 3 months.

Beets too- I love them now because they make me feel good.

Try 3-4 beet root capsules a day. Took me a month but of a sudden my back pain has been reduced to just a mild aggravation instead of knife-in-the-back spasms. Blood pressure down to 135/60. (I'm 83, and like the old Timex ads - "Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin')

Interesting, my kids were given charcoal in the ER...They were very young (under 3) and had gotten into suitcases that had mothballs in the pockets...Since we really could not determine if they had ingested the mothballs, they got “ipecac-ed” and given charcoal for cleansing and absorbing any remaining mothball chemicals.

What do you mean by ‘large dose’? Don’t forget to eat
pepper with it too
in fact, when you are getting enough turmeric you will start craving pepper

plus you have to also stop eating all the bad things, or no amount of turmeric (or anything) will help

Yes, I did that. Freshly crushed black pepper. And I eat healthy.

Tumeric does not work for everyone. That’s the point.
