Simple Remedies (Charcoal)












We have come to a time when EVERY MEMBER of the church should take hold of medical missionary work...” {7T 62.1}
God’s peopleSHOULD KNOW HOW to give the simple treatments.” (WM 127.1)

“...It is essential both to understand the principles involved in the treatment of the sick and to have a practical training that will enable one rightly to use this knowledge.”  {MH 127.2}

 “...Give those who are sick the simple treatments that will relieve them, and THEN PRAY with them. Thus they will open the door for the entrance of the truth...”  {MM 320.2} 

Let us present the gospel to the sick, connecting Jesus, the great healer, with the simple remedies used...”   MM 29.1} 

Always study and teach the use of the simplest remedies, and the special blessing of the Lord may be expected to follow the use of these means which are within the reach of the common people.--Letter 100, 1903.”  {2SM 298.6}

We cannot expect the Lord to work a miracle for us while we neglect the simple remedies he has provided for our use, which aptly and opportunely applied, will bring about a miraculous result. Therefore, pray, believe, and work.” (Letter 66, 1901).  {7BC 939.2} 

FEVER
“…a physician came to me in great distressHe had been called to attend a young woman who was dangerously ill. SHE HAD CONTRACTED FEVER WHILE ON THE CAMPGROUND The physician…came to me and said, “Sister White, have you any light for me on this case? If relief cannot be given our sister, she can live but a few hours.” I replied, “Send to a blacksmith's shop, and GET SOME PULVERIZED CHARCOAL; make a poultice of it, and lay it over her stomach and sides.” The doctor hastened away to follow out my instructions. Soon he returned, saying, “relief came in less than half an hour after the application of the poultices.  She is now having the first natural sleep she has had for days.” {2SM 295.2}

PAIN:
I have ordered the same treatment for others who were suffering GREAT PAIN, and it has brought relief and been the means of saving life...”  (2SM 295.3)

SNAKE BITES/STING OF REPTILES & POISONOUS INSECTS:
My mother had told me that snake bites and the sting of reptiles and poisonous insects could often be rendered harmless by the use of charcoal poultices.”  {2SM 295.3} 

BRUISED HANDS & LIMBS/INFLAMMATION:
When working on the land at Avondale, Australia, the workmen would often bruise their hands and limbs, and this in many cases resulted in such severe inflammation that the worker would have to leave his work for some time. One came to me one day in this condition, with his hand tied in a sling. He was much troubled over the circumstance; for his help was needed in clearing the land.  I said to him, “Go to the place where you have been burning the timber, and get me some charcoal from the eucalyptus tree, pulverize it, and I will dress your hand.” This was done, and the next morning he reported that the pain was gone. Soon he was ready to return to his work.” (2SM 295.3)

Pulverized charcoal...we have used freely in cases of inflammation...”  {2SM 298.5)

INFLAMMATION OF THE BOWELS/BLOODY STOOL:
A brother was taken sick with inflammation of the bowels and bloody dysentery. The man was not a careful health reformer, but indulged his appetite. We were just preparing to leave Texas, where we had been laboring for several months, and we had carriages prepared to take away this brother and his family, and several others who were suffering from malarial fever. My husband and I thought we would stand this expense rather than have the heads of several families die and leave their wives and children unprovided for. Two or three were taken in a large spring wagon on spring mattresses. But this man who was suffering from inflammation of the bowels, sent for me to come to him. My husband and I decided that it would not do to move him. Fears were entertained that mortification had set in. Then the thought came to me like a communication from the Lord to take pulverized charcoal, put water upon it, and give this water to the sick man to drink, putting bandages of the charcoal over the bowels and stomach...the sick man's son went to a blacksmith's shop, secured the charcoal, and pulverized it, and then used it according to the directions given. The result was that in half an hour there was a change for the better...The blessing of God had worked with the simple means used.—1899 {2SM 299.2}

SWELLING ON KNEE FROM INSECT BITE:
“On Thursday Sister Sara McEnterfer was called to see if she could do anything for Brother B's little son, who is eighteen months old. For several days he has had a painful swelling on the knee, supposed to be from the bite of some poisonous insect. Pulverized charcoal, mixed with flaxseed, was placed upon the swelling, and this poultice gave relief at onceThe child had screamed with pain all night, but when this was applied, he slept. Today she has been to see the little one twice. She opened the swelling in two places, and a large amount of yellow matter and blood was discharged freely. The child was relieved of its great suffering. We thank the Lord that we may become intelligent in using the simple things within our reach to alleviate pain, and successfully remove its cause.--1899 {2SM 299.3}

SWELLING ON THE KNEE:
“This boy...had been troubled with a knee-swelling for five years. For eleven months he was confined to his bed under the care of a physician. Sister McEnterfer had treated him with water compresses and pulverized charcoal, until the inflammation had been relieved. He was so much better that he laid aside his crutches, and attended to the cooking, as has been mentionedBut this was too much, and the knee troubled him againIt was necessary to give him a thorough course of treatment, so we took him to my own house and gave him constant care. There was a large swelling under the knee, which he called his 'egg.' This swelling was opened and discharged freely, and from it were taken pieces of bone. He improved rapidly...” ({GH, October 1, 1899 par. 6}

INDIGESTION:
“I will tell you a little about my experience with charcoal as a remedy. For some forms of indigestion, it is more efficacious than drugsA little olive oil into which some of this powder has been stirred, tends to cleanse and heal. I find it is excellent.”  {PH144 24.3} 

SEVERE INFLAMMATION OF THE EYES:
The more severe inflammation of the eyes will be relieved by a poultice of charcoal, put in a bag and dipped in hot or cold water as will best suit the case. This works, like a charm.” {PH144 24.1}

THERE ARE MANY OTHER USES FOR CHARCOAL THAT ARE NOT IN THE SOP:

NAUSEA/VOMITING:
Adults: Take 2-3 Heaping Tablespoons of Charcoal in at least 16-20 oz. of water. Take every hour if needed.

Children: You can try 1 Tablespoon with them.  Wait until after gag-reflux time to give it to them.  This will prevent them from vomiting it up.

***For children, be sure to put charcoal in a sippy cup that is colored on the outside so they can’t see the charcoal on the inside…otherwise, they are not going to want to drink it.

***Be sure to take 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking medication.

POULTICES OVER THE LIVER & KIDNEYS HELPS IN DETOXIFYING…ALSO HELPS OVER THE APPENDIX.

JAUNDICE:
Some charcoal in a baby's bottle, or mixed with some water placed in a baby's mouth along with a poultice over the liver can help reverse jaundice (be sure to place baby in direct sunlight as well). It will help bring those bilirubin levels down.
