Every household should have some charcoal on hand. No, not for an impromptu barbecue. Fo rhte medicine cabinet. Though it should never be considered a daily supplment, charcoal is the best poison remedy available, especially for drug overdoses. Families that keep a ready supply on hand, studies prove, are far better equipped to treat accidental poisoning in children.1 Charcoal will absorb just about anything--including, unfortunately, nutrients. That's why it can't be considered an everyday supplement, as well as why it can't be considered an antidote for dietary indiscretions (like eating a lot of sugar or excessive drinking, for example). Its an excellent emergency treatment for food poisoning, especially when combined with 2-4 drops of Oregano Oil. Many people take charcoal-based remedies to relieve flatulence, and it certainly is a blessing for occassional instances when intestinal gas is excessive or embarrassing. But charcoal is only a temporary solution, addressing just the symptoms. Flatulence is caused by poor digestion in the intestinal tract and the presence of bad bacteria. In the long run, supplements of digestive enzymes, fiber and beneficial bacteria are a more effective approach.(Some fibers are: Psyllium Husks, Pectin, Flax, Oat Bran, Wheat & Rice Bran; Beneficial bacteria: Acidophilus; and FOS. More digestive enzymes & supplements.) Don't take fiber at the same time as other supplements, it may interfere with their absorption.
