The Many Uses of Activated Charcoal!

I mentioned it looks weird during!

I'm happy that I didn't make this blog about something super specific like breeds of cats or cars because I have the ability to literally write about anything that I find amusing at the moment and what I'm doing with my life. It would be weird if I was going into a post about the dangers of inbreeding cats and dogs and then I suddenly had a post about how great charcoal is for the body, it can help a lot, even though it can't help inbreeding. Okay, I got off topic, sorry! Writing this at 6am, what else do you expect from me? Gosh, the expectations. Now onto the real reason I'm writing this!

After! So pearly :)

 So recently I've been getting pretty hippy-dippy and one of my friends recommended activated charcoal powder to me to brush my teeth and to take with water when I'm feeling ill, which is like always (I have terrible nausea consistently). So I ordered some off of Amazon, it was this one organic activated charcoal powder. Warning! Charcoal is really good at staining things, I've heard it ruined someone's tile grout and it stains, I haven't had this issue with my sink yet though and I've been using it for a few days now, just don't spill the container on the ground. Also take note that I am NOT a doctor so you should probably message/call/see your doctor before trying new chemicals/medications/charcoal/whatever. So you'd think 'If this stuff is as staining as she says it is and it ruins grout, won't it stain my teeth' the answer to that is No! So basically for whatever reason is does not stain your teeth and it pulls off the plaque and makes them noticeably whiter after a few uses, it can promote good oral hygiene and I'm going to have my mother try it for her gingivitis and I'll post an update here and see if it helps her at all. Its recommended to only use it about 2-3 times a week and that's what I'm doing now. I'm just a simply girl, I don't know the science behind any of this I just know what I've experienced. If you're wondering how much you use when you brush your teeth, you just wet your toothbrush and dip it in the charcoal and brush your teeth for about two minutes and then you keep rinsing out your mouth until the water is clear because at first your whole mouth is black (it's scary but it's hilarious). Feel free to floss afterwards because sometimes there will be small pieces of blackness trapped in your mouth but I found that brushing with toothpaste afterwards dealt with that for me (I do it before work, don't want to scare people now)

When she was doing it often (a few times week)

Apparently some hospitals use charcoal with cases of ingestion because charcoal works through absorption, so it absorbs the toxins and then they're eliminated through regular body processes.
Here's somewhat of a testimony I suppose, well the guy didn't die so it counts. A while back a guy (I think his last name was Marsh?) (I couldn't find what I wanted to in order to write this haha) He took a lethal dose of Arsenic? and mixed it with charcoal and he didn't die, nor did he have any of the side effects from consuming a lethal dose of Arsenic. Don't try that at home kids/adults/humans. I don't have the measurements but charcoal can also be taken with water to treat food poisoning, bloating, and nausea! Once again I'm not a doctor so consult your physician please!

So there's some information on it, I could probably write about this all day honestly because I think it's so great. So feel free to research it more and check it out, and try it! I'd say let me know, but I know it'll work!

Also this may be obvious but I know it's not for some people! Use charcoal that is food grade and made from wood or coconut not from your backyard BBQ or from some wood you burned! Buy it online or in a health food store, food grade people!
