“Charcoal?” you’re probably thinking. “Isn’t that what we cook our hamburgers and hot dogs with on the grill in the back yard?” Well, not exactly – and we’ll explain. You’re probably also thinking that in this age of modern medicine when heart transplants are commonplace and wonder drugs for everything from impotence to hair growth are possible – what can something as simple and humble as charcoal possibly mean to you? Plenty, as you’ll see. Read on and learn about the seemingly miraculous ability to promote healing that charcoal has – or more specifically – high quality USP (U.S. Pharmacopoeia) grade activated charcoal.

An Overview of How Charcoal Works... Charcoal is created by burning various materials including wood, coconut shells, or even peach pits with a limited supply of oxygen, leaving behind pure carbon. Activated charcoal is created by applying high temperature steam to it in a controlled environment, further opening the microscopic surface area of the charcoal and increasing its adsorptive power by 100 times. 

Only one pound of activated charcoal has an internal surface area of about five million square feet! Because of this amazing surface area in combination with the electromagnetic properties, it has naturally at the molecular level, activated charcoal acts like a toxin magnet.

This tremendous adsorptive power makes activated charcoal a most efficient antidote for toxins, bacteria, wastes, chemicals and poisons– whether used internally or externally for the human body.

No prescription is needed and it’s relatively inexpensive and effective for a wide range of toxins and applications. Activated charcoal cooperates with the body’s natural defenses. It does not mask symptoms, but attacks the offending problem and allows the body to heal itself. As healing occurs, symptoms naturally go away.

“As to diseases, make a habit of two things – to help, or at least to do no harm.” –Hippocrates, celebrated Greek Physician, Epidemics, Bk. 1 sec. XI  

When taken internally in capsule, powder or tablet form, the expansive surfaces of the charcoal particles fill with toxins and the charcoal and toxins are expelled naturally by elimination.

With external use, such as a charcoal poultice on a strained muscle, the charcoal draws the acidic toxins through the pores of the skin and is easily discarded after use.
