This week, I will share the incredible health benefits of Charcoal with you and show you how to incorporate it into your daily life. This topic was difficult to put into one blog. I have a book about charcoal remedies.
John Dinsley, a charcoal expert, states that Charcoal is history, poetry, art, and science. This Charcoal does more than cleanse and heal man and nature.
Charcoal can absorb poisons, unwanted chemicals, bacteria, and toxins. Adsorption refers to binding a chemical (toxin, or any other) to a solid substance like charcoal or bentonite Clay (you might remember my blog about bentonite clay). It is important to activate the Charcoal by heating it and then pulverizing it into a powder. Charcoal can treat symptoms such as gastrointestinal problems (diarrhea), poisonings, or overdoses. Most hospitals use Charcoal every day.

ZS There are many, but this is just a small selection.
Dental Health
Many holistic dentists recommend taking activated Charcoal before, after and during amalgam-based filling removal. The charcoal will help to eliminate mercury from your system. Activated Charcoal should be taken weekly by those who have silver amalgam fillings. Mercury is released through chewing, temperature (hot or cold) and heat (hot and low drinks and food).

Activated Charcoal can also be used to remove Lead Acetate from your system.
Chlorine
Activated Charcoal can be used to absorb chlorine both internally and externally. Some states have more chlorine in their drinking water than in their local swimming pools. I recommend taking Charcoal at least once per week to eliminate this chlorine. The toxic effects of chlorine are known.
Lowers Cholesterol
Activated Charcoal reduces total cholesterol, lipids and triglycerides levels in blood serum, liver and heart. In one study on patients with high cholesterol, reported in 1986 in the British journal The Lancet, two tablespoons of activated Charcoal taken three times a day for four weeks lowered total cholesterol by 25%, lowered LDL cholesterol by 41%, and doubled their HDL/LDL (high-density lipoprotein/low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol ratio.
Anti-Aging
A microscopic examination of tissue shows that activated Charcoal may help prevent many aging-related cellular changes. This includes decreased protein synthesis, reduced RNA activity, organ fibrosis, and sclerotic heart and coronary blood vessel changes. As an anti-aging supplement to a total wellness program, we can confidently say that the cumulative effects of Charcoal on blood chemistry may lead to longer lives and better overall health.
