Activated Charcoal/ Candidiasis/Phenols/ Colitis/Crohn's,IBS

[Guest guest]

Hi from Sue,

More from the book called CharcoalRemedies.com. pgs.158-159.

RE: Yeast/fungus infections:

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... The larger amount is taken for more severe

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...

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.

( Struhsaker of Duke, was studying the RED Colobus monkeys on Zanzibar Island,

Tanzania....who ate leaves that were High in protein and PHENOLS

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.../bad breath..when ingested...

& swirled in the mouth and swallowed.

There are sooo many more uses... 150 in all in this book.

Hope this helps,

Sue
