Hello!
00:00:01.98\00:00:02.95
I'm Agatha Thrash, a
staff physician from Uchee Pines
00:00:02.96\00:00:05.57
Institute, which is a medical
missionary training institute.
00:00:05.60\00:00:09.49
There we teach remedies.
00:00:09.52\00:00:12.44
My very favorite
remedy is charcoal.
00:00:12.56\00:00:15.00
It's such a favorite that
my husband and I wrote a whole
00:00:15.38\00:00:19.16
book, devoted to that very
subject of charcoal, so during
00:00:19.19\00:00:23.39
the next half an hour, we will
be discussing that so if you
00:00:23.42\00:00:25.59
would like to stay by and join
us I think that you will enjoy
00:00:25.62\00:00:27.89
learning about charcoal.
00:00:27.92\00:00:29.32
Welcome to Help Yourself to
Health with Dr. Agatha Thrash
00:00:49.45\00:00:53.53
of Uchee Pines Institute,
and now here's your host
00:00:53.56\00:00:57.17
Dr. Thrash.
00:00:57.20\00:00:58.88
Charcoal has so many good
properties about it, that you
00:00:58.91\00:01:05.02
can use it for so
many different things.
00:01:05.05\00:01:06.98
You can use it internally,
you can use it externallly, you
00:01:07.01\00:01:11.48
can use it in your
rooms and in the air.
00:01:11.51\00:01:13.82
It's a very good remedy, its
a very good substance for us to
00:01:13.85\00:01:18.44
use in a lot of ways, and
with me today is Don Miller
00:01:18.47\00:01:24.41
and a little later will
be John Champen to help me to
00:01:24.44\00:01:29.27
present the various
qualities and faculties, and our
00:01:29.30\00:01:32.42
experiences with charcoal and
now Don Miller will talk with
00:01:32.45\00:01:36.39
you about his
experience with charcoal.
00:01:36.42\00:01:39.28
You know one of my favorite
things with charcoal and you can
00:01:39.31\00:01:43.39
use it in so many ways, we
could not even enumerate them
00:01:43.42\00:01:46.35
all in one
program, or ten programs.
00:01:46.38\00:01:48.52
But a number of years ago
after I had learned about the
00:01:48.55\00:01:52.13
wonderful miracle working
propreties, and I do use the
00:01:52.16\00:01:54.98
word miracle, because it
does work miracles as far as I'm
00:01:55.01\00:01:59.51
concerned, was when I had gotten
out of the Marine Corp and moved
00:01:59.54\00:02:01.98
to my farm in Missouri, and when
I got there I decided hmm! I
00:02:02.01\00:02:05.90
want to have some horses, now
I wasn't familiar with buying
00:02:05.93\00:02:08.16
horses I didn't learn that
in college, didn't learn that in
00:02:08.19\00:02:10.13
the Marine Corp, but I did want
to buy some horses, and so I
00:02:10.16\00:02:14.04
bought three horses, and I
thought I had enough horses, but
00:02:14.07\00:02:17.23
then I got a phone call one
night from a man saying look
00:02:17.26\00:02:19.58
I've got another horse
I would like to sell you.
00:02:19.61\00:02:21.95
We had already bought one horse
from this man, and he said I
00:02:21.98\00:02:25.58
want to sell you another horse.
00:02:25.61\00:02:26.84
I said, well I really
don't want any more horses
00:02:26.87\00:02:29.11
He said well I'll make you a
good deal, and I said I don't
00:02:29.28\00:02:31.20
care how good the deal is.
00:02:31.23\00:02:32.32
I don't want your horse.
00:02:32.35\00:02:33.57
He said, well I will tell you
what I will do, I'll give you
00:02:33.60\00:02:36.79
the saddle, and the bridle,
and the blanket, and the horse
00:02:36.82\00:02:40.19
and I will deliver it
all for twenty five dollars,
00:02:40.22\00:02:42.36
and I said "SOLD"
00:02:42.41\00:02:43.92
I never heard that thing,
"You never buy a horse unseen,"
00:02:43.95\00:02:47.57
and so the man delivered the
horse one day, and he backed up
00:02:47.60\00:02:52.68
his trailer to my gate around
my yard, on my farm, and the
00:02:52.71\00:02:56.85
horse was backing down this
walkway, and it looked pretty
00:02:56.88\00:02:59.57
good until he turned it around,
and that was the worse looking
00:02:59.60\00:03:03.35
horse that I had ever seen.
00:03:03.38\00:03:04.75
One side of his face was nothing
but puss, plus you couldn't see
00:03:04.78\00:03:08.44
the eye, it looked miserable,
and I thought, Uhh! I'm going to
00:03:08.47\00:03:12.09
dig a deep hole for
this poor thing and bury it.
00:03:12.12\00:03:14.22
then I decided well "no", I
learned about charcoal, I had
00:03:14.25\00:03:18.59
been to Uchee Pines for a
seminar, so I decided to use
00:03:18.62\00:03:21.19
charcoal on my horse.
00:03:21.22\00:03:22.49
I had to use it two
ways, I was going to use it
00:03:22.52\00:03:25.33
internally and externally.
00:03:25.36\00:03:27.25
Now how do you
feed a horse charcoal?
00:03:27.28\00:03:28.55
It was quite easy.
00:03:28.58\00:03:29.66
I took a big stainless steel
bowl, put some charcoal in it
00:03:29.69\00:03:32.94
put some flax seed in it,
ground flax seed which Brother
00:03:32.97\00:03:35.53
Champen will be talking about,
added some water, chopped up an
00:03:35.56\00:03:38.68
apple, and some turbinado sugar,
and it would mix it all up and
00:03:38.71\00:03:41.83
I would roll it in these big
black horse jelly beans, and the
00:03:41.86\00:03:47.15
horse loved the things.
00:03:47.18\00:03:48.19
Then I made up some charcoal
poultice material, which
00:03:48.22\00:03:50.93
Brother Champen will be talking
about, made up a big poultice
00:03:50.96\00:03:53.75
and just slapped in on that
horses eye, and tied it on with
00:03:53.78\00:03:57.31
a sock, and I did that
every day for that horse.
00:03:57.34\00:04:00.86
Within a couple of months,
that horse was completely clean,
00:04:00.89\00:04:04.26
completely clear.
00:04:04.29\00:04:05.56
His eye was healed, it
was not blind in the eye.
00:04:05.59\00:04:08.74
It had no evidence whatsoever
that anything had been wrong
00:04:08.77\00:04:12.05
with that horse,
00:04:12.08\00:04:13.05
and another nice thing
was the horse surprised me.
00:04:13.06\00:04:16.39
I don't think I even knew it
was a female horse, but it was
00:04:16.71\00:04:18.64
a female horse, and the
horse had a baby horse, a foal
00:04:18.67\00:04:21.79
and it was in perfect health,
in perfect shape, so I just
00:04:21.82\00:04:24.46
think, that God has given
us something like charcoal to
00:04:24.49\00:04:28.12
surprise us with the marvelous
working powers of it, and I'm
00:04:28.15\00:04:31.91
thankful for charcoal.
00:04:31.95\00:04:33.39
Dr. Thrash, I know you've
had lots of experience with
00:04:33.43\00:04:36.03
charcoal. Yes, I've had quite a
lot of experience with charcoal,
00:04:36.06\00:04:39.45
and I enjoy what I
know about charcoal,
00:04:39.49\00:04:42.56
but I'm constantly
learning more things.
00:04:42.63\00:04:45.09
The charcoal itself is a little
granule, the individual parts
00:04:45.12\00:04:53.41
are just little
granules, like this.
00:04:53.44\00:04:55.22
These individual granules are
interesting because they have
00:04:55.25\00:05:01.01
little crevices,
which you can see here.
00:05:01.04\00:05:02.99
You can see how these little
holes and little canals, all
00:05:03.02\00:05:08.12
of these little indentations
around in the charcoal granule
00:05:08.15\00:05:11.91
All of these can take up
poisonous substances, and indeed
00:05:11.94\00:05:16.55
will take up poisonous
substances all manner of them.
00:05:16.58\00:05:20.82
In fact a number of articles
have been written in a medical
00:05:20.85\00:05:25.05
journal, such as these
that I am holding here.
00:05:25.08\00:05:27.07
This one was published in the
very prestigious journal called
00:05:27.10\00:05:31.04
Pediatrics, just in 2001.
00:05:31.08\00:05:34.49
Researchers had done a
big experiment on many, many
00:05:34.52\00:05:40.29
children, over a thousand
children who had gotten poisoned
00:05:40.32\00:05:43.92
in the home, and what
they had thought was instead of
00:05:43.95\00:05:48.42
having all children who
were poisoned in the home,
00:05:48.45\00:05:51.25
transported to an emergency
facility, why not have parents
00:05:51.28\00:05:55.58
have charcoal in the home,
so that when a child is poisoned
00:05:55.61\00:06:01.26
they can simply
administer it themselves.
00:06:01.29\00:06:03.47
So they began a campaign in
this area in Connecticut, and
00:06:03.50\00:06:07.93
invited all parents to have
charcoal in their homes in the
00:06:07.96\00:06:12.33
medicine cabinet all ready.
00:06:12.36\00:06:13.68
So they found that, in
sixty minutes or less they could
00:06:13.71\00:06:20.02
have a poisoned child or a child
who had taken something that you
00:06:20.05\00:06:23.78
weren't certain was poisonous,
they could have the child
00:06:23.81\00:06:27.23
with their dose of charcoal
already within sixty minutes
00:06:27.26\00:06:31.64
or less, and that almost never
happened in the hospital, it was
00:06:31.67\00:06:38.37
less than a third of the cases
that came to the hospital that
00:06:38.40\00:06:41.73
were going to have
the charcoal administered
00:06:41.76\00:06:43.47
in thirty minutes or less,
00:06:43.78\00:06:45.14
whereas more than
ninety percent of those
00:06:45.22\00:06:47.78
who could get the charcoal
administered in the home, would
00:06:47.81\00:06:51.72
have the charcoal in a half
an hour, in less than an hour.
00:06:51.75\00:06:55.57
Now a concern over proper
administration of the charcoal
00:06:55.60\00:07:01.40
by parents was also very
big in the minds of physicians,
00:07:01.43\00:07:06.85
and I think generally we feel
that parents are going to be
00:07:06.88\00:07:12.98
a little bit backward in being
able to administer treatments
00:07:13.01\00:07:17.27
in the home, but as we have
had more and more experience
00:07:17.30\00:07:20.69
in dealing with parents, we find
that they are fully as capable
00:07:20.76\00:07:25.67
as nurses and doctors to
administer a simple treatment
00:07:25.71\00:07:30.91
like charcoal in the home.
00:07:30.94\00:07:32.56
So we recommend now to everybody
that they have charcoal in their
00:07:32.59\00:07:37.08
medicine cabinets at all times.
00:07:37.11\00:07:39.09
When you have an emergency
that is not the time to try call
00:07:39.12\00:07:42.83
around and see
where you can find it.
00:07:42.86\00:07:45.18
Now we speak of
activated charcoal.
00:07:45.21\00:07:48.87
Activated charcoal is different
from just regular charcoal.
00:07:48.90\00:07:53.16
Regular charcoal is something
similar to what I have here.
00:07:53.19\00:07:57.03
Here I have some partly ashed,
and partly charred wood that
00:07:57.06\00:08:03.78
came from a fireplace, and
you can use this in a pinch.
00:08:03.81\00:08:07.91
Just take some of these dark
pieces and crush them up with
00:08:07.94\00:08:12.04
a hammer and a cloth towel
or crush them with a fork if
00:08:12.07\00:08:19.11
they are soft enough,
and you will get some benefit
00:08:19.14\00:08:21.92
from that, but not a lot.
00:08:21.95\00:08:23.71
What you get the most
from is the activated charcoal.
00:08:23.74\00:08:27.69
The activated charcoal has been
specially processed in a factory
00:08:27.72\00:08:32.15
where steam and pressure are
used to clear the ash away from
00:08:32.18\00:08:38.44
the little granules, with
the little crevices, so that ash
00:08:38.47\00:08:42.08
is cleared away, and
the activated charcoal is
00:08:42.11\00:08:45.44
at least twice if
not three times as
00:08:45.67\00:08:47.80
effective as the
regular charcoal.
00:08:47.98\00:08:50.97
So you can see that it is
important for you to use that
00:08:51.00\00:08:54.84
if you can, and as to how
to administer it, we can teach
00:08:54.87\00:09:00.44
a parent to give
the child the charcoal
00:09:00.47\00:09:03.46
by mouth in several ways.
00:09:03.49\00:09:05.45
One way is to
stir it up in a glass,
00:09:05.48\00:09:07.89
and put a straw in it
00:09:07.93\00:09:09.72
and let them drink it.
00:09:09.75\00:09:10.82
Now some will say
well, my child won't drink
00:09:10.85\00:09:13.88
that black mixture,
and that may be true.
00:09:14.07\00:09:17.77
If you can't get
the child to take the
00:09:17.80\00:09:20.93
the charcoal when its
mixed up in water, call
00:09:20.96\00:09:24.09
grandmother, because
grandmothers know how to get
00:09:24.12\00:09:27.25
a child to take something
that they don't want to take.
00:09:27.28\00:09:30.23
In fact that has been
shown in homes where there is a
00:09:30.26\00:09:36.54
grandparent, there are fewer
visits to the physicians, than
00:09:36.57\00:09:40.92
in homes where there is no
grandmother available, so you
00:09:40.95\00:09:44.18
are very fortunate if you have
a grandmother, and she can get
00:09:44.21\00:09:46.76
the child to take
the activated charcoal.
00:09:46.79\00:09:49.20
This can be a great help to
you to know in your very own
00:09:49.23\00:09:54.15
home, you can be
prepared to meet emergencies.
00:09:54.18\00:09:57.53
Now we use charcoal inside
the body and outside the body,
00:09:57.56\00:10:01.20
and John Champen who is
with me here, John Champen
00:10:01.23\00:10:05.34
is a health educator at
Uchee Pines, and one of our
00:10:05.37\00:10:09.25
instructors there, and he
is going to tell you some about
00:10:09.28\00:10:12.85
his experience in
mixing up charcoal.
00:10:12.88\00:10:15.34
Charcoal is a very wonderful
substance that has been
00:10:15.37\00:10:20.05
provided for us, and you
can get it all over the world.
00:10:20.08\00:10:23.55
Today I'm going to show you
00:10:23.58\00:10:25.79
a little bit about
how we mix charcoal.
00:10:25.82\00:10:28.22
Here we have two on our
table, we have two glasses,
00:10:28.85\00:10:38.08
this one charcoal has
already been mixed in,
00:10:38.11\00:10:41.63
and this one I'm just
about to mix the charcaol in.
00:10:41.73\00:10:43.30
This one that has already
been mixed in now settling
00:10:43.33\00:10:47.36
to the bottom, this is
what we call our slurry water.
00:10:47.39\00:10:50.63
That's for those who
have difficulty taking the
00:10:50.66\00:10:53.72
charcoal, or think they
might have difficulty taking
00:10:53.75\00:10:56.49
This will eventually settle
out, precipitate out to the
00:10:56.52\00:10:59.66
bottom, and will
be relatively clear.
00:10:59.69\00:11:01.50
Those who have difficulty
00:11:01.53\00:11:03.52
might be more
inclined to take it that way.
00:11:03.59\00:11:06.68
Now its very interesting
in mixing charcoal its a very
00:11:06.71\00:11:10.29
fine powder, and if you don't
whatch it, it will fly all over
00:11:10.32\00:11:12.91
everything, and
get into everything.
00:11:12.94\00:11:16.17
It doesn't come out
of garments very easily,
00:11:16.20\00:11:19.08
so it needs to be
mixed very, very gently.
00:11:19.11\00:11:23.41
One tablespoon of charcoal
per glass is about enough,
00:11:23.44\00:11:28.83
that's the recommended dosage.
00:11:28.86\00:11:30.61
This will take a little
while to mix in, but when it
00:11:30.64\00:11:51.33
mixes in, it can be
taken with a straw or it can
00:11:51.36\00:11:54.81
be drunk directly, and
it works very very quickly.
00:11:54.84\00:12:01.37
There are no known
problems with charcoal,
00:12:01.40\00:12:07.78
except that some people
00:12:07.81\00:12:08.93
might find it a
little bit constipating,
00:12:08.98\00:12:10.79
and for those who might find
00:12:10.88\00:12:12.47
that to be their case,
00:12:12.50\00:12:13.95
what we advise
then that the person
00:12:13.98\00:12:19.35
take alot of water with it.
00:12:19.45\00:12:24.85
Water and charcoal is
all that is needed, now every
00:12:24.88\00:12:31.40
medicine cabinet as Dr.
Thrash says should have that.
00:12:31.43\00:12:35.14
I keep this in
my medicine cabinet,
00:12:35.24\00:12:36.21
it is excellent for bad breath
00:12:36.22\00:12:38.04
it is excellent for gas,
00:12:38.24\00:12:39.21
its excellent for upset stomach.
00:12:39.27\00:12:42.22
If a person has
diarrhea, it helps quite a lot,
00:12:42.27\00:12:46.62
it checks diarrhea
very, very quickly,
00:12:46.65\00:12:48.21
one tablespoon is
all that is needed.
00:12:48.30\00:12:51.67
We've done experiments, and
we've had guests who had gas,
00:12:51.70\00:12:59.39
or upset stomach, and we give
them a little dose of charcoal
00:12:59.42\00:13:03.70
like this, and it doesn't
have any taste, it tends to be
00:13:03.73\00:13:08.13
a little bit
grainy, but thats all.
00:13:08.16\00:13:10.27
There is nothing in
here that can harm you.
00:13:10.30\00:13:13.42
It goes through the
system and it binds the toxins,
00:13:13.45\00:13:17.42
It binds those things that
are in the system and it will
00:13:17.45\00:13:22.80
even take out a lot of
chemicals from your system,
00:13:22.83\00:13:25.47
to clean the
system on the inside.
00:13:25.50\00:13:27.53
It goes directly through
the GI track and comes out.
00:13:27.56\00:13:37.49
Dr. Thrash, that's how
it is done on the inside.
00:13:37.52\00:13:43.58
Yes!
00:13:43.61\00:13:44.58
That's a very good thing.
00:13:44.59\00:13:47.66
You know another way that
I have mixed it up cause as
00:13:47.69\00:13:51.05
you say, it is a little
difficult to get it to mix
00:13:51.08\00:13:53.76
into solution.
00:13:53.79\00:13:54.76
Sometimes I will put it in a
jar, with the water, and just
00:13:54.77\00:13:59.12
shake it like this, and it goes
in alot better, then you can
00:13:59.15\00:14:02.35
just put the,
without pouring it out
00:14:02.38\00:14:05.04
I noticed how very carefully you
transferred it from the little
00:14:05.07\00:14:10.34
container, into the glass,
because that's most important
00:14:10.37\00:14:14.78
for people to know, and
you don't use your white suit
00:14:14.81\00:14:19.04
when you are mixing
it up the first time.
00:14:19.07\00:14:20.66
No! Not at all, not at all.
00:14:20.69\00:14:23.95
Now it's also
used outside the body.
00:14:23.98\00:14:27.85
Outside the body its used
in a poltice, and we're going
00:14:27.88\00:14:31.79
demonstrate that poultice
a little bit later on Dr.
00:14:31.82\00:14:35.12
Thrash. Alright, very good.
00:14:35.15\00:14:36.26
Well I'd like to talk with
you a bit more about some of the
00:14:36.29\00:14:39.98
properties of charcoal.
00:14:40.01\00:14:41.25
One is that it is
inert, inside the human body,
00:14:41.28\00:14:46.15
and so you don't
have to expect that it is
00:14:46.21\00:14:48.88
going to do you some
harm if you overdose,
00:14:48.91\00:14:51.38
in fact overdosing on
charcoal is almost impossible.
00:14:51.42\00:14:55.15
It does tend to make the bowels
a little bit slow, or sluggish.
00:14:55.18\00:14:59.46
Some people feel that if they
took to much, it would actually
00:14:59.49\00:15:02.41
cause them to have a
binding up of the bowel,
00:15:02.44\00:15:05.20
but that really isn't true.
00:15:05.30\00:15:07.09
If you drink enough
water it will pass through,
00:15:07.12\00:15:09.81
even though it may be
a little bit sluggish.
00:15:09.87\00:15:11.60
The reason for its being
sluggish is that it attaches
00:15:11.68\00:15:15.22
to the mucous in the bowel,
00:15:15.25\00:15:18.03
and that makes it move
more slowly through the bowel,
00:15:18.12\00:15:20.62
but that isnt a
great problem to you
00:15:20.65\00:15:23.37
if you simply work with it,
00:15:23.43\00:15:26.30
with a lot of
water and sometimes
00:15:26.35\00:15:28.12
an enema might also be
00:15:28.15\00:15:30.52
necessary. Now the slurry water,
that John Champen was talking
00:15:30.55\00:15:35.90
with you about, when the black
part falls down to the bottom,
00:15:35.93\00:15:39.65
you could see that it was
turning gray already up at the
00:15:39.68\00:15:42.98
top part, it will
eventually be almost clear.
00:15:43.01\00:15:46.79
But there are some
submicroscopic particles
00:15:46.82\00:15:51.06
that are suspended in the
water and that does do some good
00:15:51.09\00:15:56.03
for you, as you take it
and it is passed through the
00:15:56.06\00:16:00.04
intestinal track.
00:16:00.07\00:16:01.06
When you take it internally,
it acts sort of like a little
00:16:01.12\00:16:05.00
mini dialysis,and its not going
to cause you a great problem.
00:16:05.03\00:16:09.35
Now as to how to
get a child to take it,
00:16:09.38\00:16:13.01
another suggestion,
00:16:13.08\00:16:15.11
I really hope you don't have
one of these on hand in your
00:16:15.17\00:16:18.08
household, but if you should
have a a chocolate container
00:16:18.15\00:16:21.50
In your, I hope
your children don't
00:16:21.53\00:16:23.54
drink chocolate, because
its not a good drink for them.
00:16:23.57\00:16:26.19
It's to much sugar, its
to much of various things.
00:16:26.25\00:16:28.40
But if you should have a
00:16:28.43\00:16:31.02
chocolate container in your
00:16:31.05\00:16:33.38
home, Pour the charcoal water
in there, put a straw in it
00:16:33.41\00:16:36.83
and invite your child to drink.
00:16:36.86\00:16:38.80
You can tell them drink it fast!
00:16:38.83\00:16:40.63
And as they follow
your instructions, they
00:16:40.66\00:16:42.85
will get alot of it down.
00:16:42.88\00:16:43.99
Now for a child, don't
make up a large quantity
00:16:44.02\00:16:47.10
like John Champen
did for an adult dose.
00:16:47.13\00:16:50.04
Just make up a small amount,
00:16:50.07\00:16:51.84
but you still
use a tablespoonful
00:16:51.87\00:16:53.91
because chances are,
00:16:53.94\00:16:54.97
you're not going
to get it all down
00:16:55.07\00:16:56.22
for the child, so you
want to make it fairly thick
00:16:56.37\00:16:59.07
and have him drink it
as quickly as you can.
00:16:59.10\00:17:01.30
You can even mask it,
00:17:01.33\00:17:02.53
so its got a
little flavor to it.
00:17:02.56\00:17:05.67
It actually
doesn't have any flavor.
00:17:05.70\00:17:07.64
It just feels a
little gritty in the mouth
00:17:07.67\00:17:10.41
So you can mask that
a little bit by putting
00:17:10.44\00:17:13.80
some kind of
flavoring, or maybe just
00:17:13.83\00:17:15.59
a little bit of honey
with it, but not very much.
00:17:15.62\00:17:18.41
Because sometimes, something
that you might put with it
00:17:18.44\00:17:21.02
might encourage
absorbtion of some poison
00:17:21.05\00:17:23.61
that the child might have taken.
00:17:23.64\00:17:25.68
Now so far as
overdosing with charcoal
00:17:25.71\00:17:30.73
Some people think
that it's going to
00:17:30.76\00:17:33.00
take up their nutrients.
00:17:33.03\00:17:34.01
If they use alot of it,
00:17:34.04\00:17:38.00
but, actually
interestingly enough
00:17:38.03\00:17:41.35
and for reasons
which we do not understand
00:17:41.38\00:17:43.70
at all from the standpoint
of physics and chemistry.
00:17:43.73\00:17:45.88
The charcoal granule
does not take up nutrients
00:17:45.91\00:17:50.23
well at all, and
therefore a person
00:17:50.26\00:17:52.73
who has been
poisoned by, lets say
00:17:52.76\00:17:54.93
iron pills or
vitamin pills, or zinc pills
00:17:54.96\00:17:59.24
They can just about
forget about charcoal
00:17:59.27\00:18:01.17
its not going
to be very helpful,
00:18:01.20\00:18:02.18
because it doesn't take
up these nutrient substances.
00:18:02.21\00:18:06.91
So it will not
give you a long term
00:18:06.94\00:18:10.30
malnutrition, if you
take charcoal on a regular
00:18:10.33\00:18:14.17
basis. One of the
best ways that we use it is
00:18:14.20\00:18:18.10
externally, and of
course we could talk with
00:18:18.13\00:18:20.70
you about
charcoal stories, and how
00:18:20.73\00:18:23.43
we have used
charcoal both inside the body
00:18:23.46\00:18:25.70
and outside the body.
00:18:25.73\00:18:26.73
We could talk with
you the rest of the year
00:18:26.76\00:18:29.56
on that, and probably not
adequately cover the subject.
00:18:29.59\00:18:33.04
But now Don Miller
is going to show you
00:18:33.07\00:18:36.14
some of the ways that
we can use it externally
00:18:36.17\00:18:40.14
One of the scary
things that people
00:18:40.17\00:18:43.76
worry about in their homes is
00:18:43.79\00:18:45.83
the insects that they might have
00:18:45.86\00:18:47.76
in their homes.
00:18:47.85\00:18:48.82
And one insect that I discovered
00:18:48.83\00:18:51.13
for the first
time, saw it for myself
00:18:51.16\00:18:53.37
was in the sink when I was
00:18:53.40\00:18:54.37
going to graduate school
00:18:54.38\00:18:55.35
in the University of Oklahoma,
00:18:55.36\00:18:56.33
was the Brown Recluse spider.
00:18:56.34\00:18:57.83
Everyone is worried
about that Brown Recluse spider
00:18:57.86\00:19:00.92
and they are pretty nasty.
00:19:00.95\00:19:02.95
When they bite you
they cause necrotic tissue,
00:19:02.98\00:19:06.05
it can go right down to the bone
00:19:06.08\00:19:07.40
and it seems it
just does not heal
00:19:07.43\00:19:10.22
While we were on a tour one time
00:19:10.25\00:19:12.57
we are out in California
00:19:12.60\00:19:13.58
and a man came to
our booth where we were
00:19:13.61\00:19:16.65
displaying some of our materials
00:19:16.68\00:19:18.35
and he says, he
told us I got bit
00:19:18.38\00:19:21.12
I got bit by a
Brown Recluse spider
00:19:21.15\00:19:22.95
I think it was in January
00:19:22.98\00:19:25.32
and this was about
June when he told us this
00:19:25.35\00:19:27.10
and I says really and
he said yes, and I kept
00:19:27.13\00:19:30.69
the scrapbook about my bite
00:19:30.72\00:19:32.74
He had this big
scrapbook full of pictures
00:19:32.77\00:19:36.11
They didn't
really identify it as
00:19:36.14\00:19:39.07
a Brown Recluse spider
bite for about three weeks.
00:19:39.10\00:19:41.22
So for three weeks there was no
00:19:41.25\00:19:42.51
treatment at all.
00:19:42.54\00:19:43.51
By the time this
three weeks had elapsed
00:19:43.52\00:19:46.51
he had ulcers all
up and down his leg.
00:19:46.54\00:19:49.39
It wasn't just
the one, it seemed to
00:19:49.42\00:19:51.28
have traveled
through his bloodstream
00:19:51.31\00:19:52.73
and he had ulcers
all up and down his leg.
00:19:52.76\00:19:55.37
Well, they started
using Charcoal poultices
00:19:55.40\00:19:57.93
which brother Champen
will tell you how to do
00:19:57.96\00:19:59.77
but they had just
not applied a poultice
00:19:59.80\00:20:02.30
on this one, and a
poultice on this one
00:20:02.33\00:20:03.73
they made entire leg poultices,
00:20:03.76\00:20:06.65
from his ankle to his hip
00:20:06.68\00:20:08.42
he had these
large charcoal poultices
00:20:08.45\00:20:10.88
and every two or three days,
00:20:10.91\00:20:12.65
they took a picture of the leg.
00:20:12.68\00:20:14.51
I'll tell you
what, the first few days
00:20:14.54\00:20:16.15
and the first few weeks,
00:20:16.18\00:20:17.15
and the first couple months
00:20:17.17\00:20:18.28
that leg looked meat.
00:20:18.31\00:20:20.49
It was a bad looking leg
00:20:20.52\00:20:22.01
these large ulcers
and very angry looking
00:20:22.04\00:20:25.81
an necrotic
tissue going on down.
00:20:25.84\00:20:28.18
But slowly they
started healing over,
00:20:28.21\00:20:31.03
and healing over, until finally
00:20:31.06\00:20:32.95
the last few pictures,
00:20:32.98\00:20:33.95
there were still
some wounds there
00:20:33.96\00:20:35.69
it wasn't that
bad, well here it was
00:20:35.72\00:20:37.67
I think he took
the pictures until June
00:20:37.70\00:20:40.46
this must have been July
00:20:40.49\00:20:41.46
I says well let me see your leg.
00:20:41.47\00:20:42.61
So right there
in this booth area
00:20:42.64\00:20:45.08
all the people around
he hiked up his pant leg
00:20:45.11\00:20:47.19
On his leg he had a
few little brown patches
00:20:47.22\00:20:50.44
No wounds, no necrotic tissue
00:20:50.47\00:20:53.32
no holes down through the bone,
00:20:53.35\00:20:54.93
no amputations, just nice flesh
00:20:54.96\00:20:58.50
with a little
bit of discoloration
00:20:58.53\00:21:00.30
which will probably
eventually go away to.
00:21:00.33\00:21:02.29
Brown Recluse spider
you don't use antibiotics
00:21:02.32\00:21:06.11
Cutting away the tissue
00:21:06.14\00:21:08.13
is not the way we should not do.
00:21:08.16\00:21:09.37
Just take charcoal and pack
00:21:09.40\00:21:11.98
it into the
wound if you have to.
00:21:12.01\00:21:13.14
If it tatoos your skin.
00:21:13.17\00:21:14.57
Does it really make a difference
00:21:14.60\00:21:15.86
I'd rather have tatooed skin
00:21:15.89\00:21:17.52
than to have my skin
cut away by a surgeons knife
00:21:17.55\00:21:21.30
because they can't figure
any other way to treat it.
00:21:21.33\00:21:24.06
So, use God's simple ways
00:21:24.09\00:21:26.91
and I'm sure we will
get rewards from that.
00:21:26.94\00:21:30.92
The horse, this man's leg
00:21:30.95\00:21:33.12
there's all kinds
of ways to use it.
00:21:33.15\00:21:34.52
Oh yes, and all
sorts of situations
00:21:34.55\00:21:36.60
to use it in to.
00:21:36.63\00:21:37.71
As we think about the many, many
00:21:37.74\00:21:41.13
ways that charcoal can be used
00:21:41.16\00:21:43.21
I'd like us to study some things
00:21:43.24\00:21:45.90
about how charcoal
can be used in poultices
00:21:45.93\00:21:49.30
or compresses in the body.
00:21:49.33\00:21:50.73
Compresses represent
one of our primary ways
00:21:50.76\00:21:55.82
of treating the
skin, and John Champen
00:21:55.85\00:21:58.38
is going to show you now
just how to make a poultice
00:21:58.41\00:22:02.49
and how to apply it.
00:22:02.53\00:22:03.53
Thank you!
00:22:03.56\00:22:04.63
We're going to be
making a poultice here
00:22:04.66\00:22:07.58
and I'm going to
have Melissa come over
00:22:07.61\00:22:09.60
so that I can apply
this poultice to her
00:22:09.63\00:22:11.97
after I make it.
00:22:12.00\00:22:12.97
The great need in
making a poultice, is to have
00:22:12.98\00:22:19.94
charcoal, and we have
here a little flax seed
00:22:19.97\00:22:24.09
which can be ground up
and added to the poultice
00:22:24.12\00:22:28.46
or, and if some
have used also oatmeal.
00:22:28.49\00:22:33.90
This is a nice binder also
00:22:33.93\00:22:35.81
and allows for the moisture
to remain in the compress.
00:22:35.84\00:22:39.27
Simply we take,
00:22:39.30\00:22:43.86
I'm going to use oatmeal today
00:22:43.89\00:22:45.64
One tablespoon of oatmeal
00:22:45.67\00:22:50.16
and some charcoal, and
they will be bound together
00:22:50.19\00:22:56.67
and we'll use a little water
00:22:56.70\00:23:00.01
and we'll make a compress here.
00:23:00.04\00:23:04.68
We add a little water to this
00:23:04.71\00:23:12.96
this will make a paste
00:23:12.99\00:23:16.79
as you see it's very light
00:23:16.82\00:23:24.72
very light, and
it flies very easily
00:23:24.75\00:23:26.94
and this paste then will
00:23:26.97\00:23:30.93
be put on a paper towel
00:23:30.97\00:23:32.85
which is pre-cut
00:23:32.88\00:23:34.25
The charcoal, activated charcoal
00:23:34.29\00:23:40.94
with the binder
here, in the water
00:23:40.97\00:23:43.33
will work
through the paper towel,
00:23:43.36\00:23:48.18
common kitchen paper towel.
00:23:48.21\00:23:51.53
Here we have a little paste
00:23:51.56\00:23:56.30
which I'm going to apply
00:23:56.33\00:23:58.32
now to the paper towel
00:23:58.35\00:24:02.35
we'll spread it out,
00:24:02.38\00:24:06.26
we'd like to have
it about 1/4 inch thick
00:24:06.29\00:24:09.78
and then over top of that
00:24:09.81\00:24:20.95
I will place another one
00:24:20.98\00:24:23.35
Mellisa Thrash,
00:24:31.25\00:24:34.58
Dr. Thrash's granddaughter
00:24:34.61\00:24:36.27
is my sbuject today
00:24:36.30\00:24:37.49
and on top of this
00:24:37.52\00:24:43.58
we're going to place
a little peice of plasic
00:24:43.61\00:24:46.55
to keep the moisture in.
00:24:46.58\00:24:48.09
Secure it with a little tape
00:24:54.19\00:25:01.33
and then overtop of this
00:25:01.71\00:25:20.22
we can put an Ace bandage
00:25:20.25\00:25:22.57
to keep it bound.
00:25:22.60\00:25:26.75
We're running out of time
00:25:26.78\00:25:28.29
so i'm just going to
show you very quickly here
00:25:28.32\00:25:30.11
If on the other hand she had a
00:25:30.14\00:25:34.23
little misquito
bite, not a misquito bite,
00:25:34.26\00:25:39.11
or a bee sting, or wasp,
00:25:39.14\00:25:41.14
then a little
band-aid can be used
00:25:41.17\00:25:45.11
Melissa was telling me
00:25:45.14\00:25:57.58
about experiences that she had
00:25:57.61\00:25:59.04
where she had these little
00:25:59.07\00:26:01.16
band-aids all over her.
00:26:01.19\00:26:02.75
Getting rid of a little problem
00:26:02.78\00:26:05.43
that her sister had picked up
00:26:05.46\00:26:06.81
and shared with her
00:26:06.84\00:26:08.62
without her consent.
00:26:08.65\00:26:10.78
When this is taken off,
00:26:10.81\00:26:13.24
this can stay on
for about six hours
00:26:13.27\00:26:15.57
to ten hours, and when
00:26:15.60\00:26:16.91
that's taken off, just
simply wipe with a cool
00:26:16.94\00:26:19.54
cloth, rub very
clean, then she is better
00:26:19.57\00:26:25.25
The problem that she had
00:26:25.28\00:26:28.18
would probably be taken care of.
00:26:28.21\00:26:29.80
Thank you Melissa.
00:26:29.83\00:26:33.72
Charcoal,
00:26:33.75\00:26:35.27
charcoal can be used
in many different ways.
00:26:37.27\00:26:42.17
One of our
doctors at Uchee Pines,
00:26:42.20\00:26:45.81
this little child was
playing around a little hole
00:26:45.84\00:26:48.44
in the ground, and
put a stick in the ground
00:26:48.47\00:26:50.07
and out of that hole
came these yellow jackets
00:26:50.10\00:26:54.74
In just a moment
00:26:54.77\00:26:55.94
the yellow jackets were in
00:26:55.97\00:26:58.52
charge Our doctor then took the
00:26:58.55\00:27:01.47
child, placed the child in the
00:27:01.51\00:27:02.84
bathtub with water, and then put
00:27:02.87\00:27:06.39
in 2 cups of charcoal water
00:27:06.42\00:27:08.99
stirring it around,
and she received releif
00:27:09.02\00:27:13.19
Dr. Thrash, that was a
simple way to do it wasn't it?
00:27:13.22\00:27:16.52
Yes it was and it
was very effective
00:27:16.55\00:27:18.87
but the interesting thing was
00:27:18.90\00:27:21.00
the doctor who sort of got lost
00:27:21.03\00:27:23.32
in all this work with the child
00:27:23.35\00:27:25.55
didn't get treatment
00:27:25.58\00:27:27.30
and he had a real big problem.
00:27:27.33\00:27:29.16
We didn't treat him, but
we did treat his daughter.
00:27:29.19\00:27:33.23
Now I hope that in
these things that we covered
00:27:33.26\00:27:36.97
with charcoal, that you will
00:27:37.00\00:27:38.82
be stimulated to try it.
00:27:38.85\00:27:41.16
Be sure you have it in your home
00:27:41.19\00:27:43.60
at all times.
00:27:43.63\00:27:44.72
Don't wait until
the emergency arises
00:27:44.75\00:27:47.39
and then you have to run out
00:27:47.42\00:27:48.86
and get the
charcoal, at that time
00:27:48.89\00:27:51.09
valuable time will be lost
00:27:51.12\00:27:52.95
and you can be enjoying
00:27:52.98\00:27:54.83
charcoal all this time
00:27:54.94\00:27:56.06
if you have it on hand.
00:27:56.14\00:27:57.90
