do you know the healing power of charcoal?

Above answers are correct, but failed to address one thing: the misconception in your question that charcoal “heals diseases”.IT DOES NOT HEAL DISEASES. As noted, it works well for removing poisons from the gi tract. That’s about the extent of it. Very few diseases will be affected in the least by charcoal.

Activated Charcoal —————— Activated charcoal is reknowned for its ability to adsorb toxins in the GI Tract. It is sometimes used a poison centers for this ability. Here is how it works. i. The charcoal adsorbs unabsorbed poison still present in the gut. ii. The charcoal adsorbs chemicals that are secreted in bile, thereby preventing their enterohepatic recirculation. iii. The charcoal binds any drug that diffuses from the circulation into the gut lumen. v v (NOTE: Adsorbtion is *not* the same as absorption. Adsorption is the process by which a solid attracts and concentrates upon its surface, in a thin layer, molecules of a gas, liquid or dissolved substance by adhesion.) You can purchase activated charcoal from your local natural food store. Charcoal can be use orally for the absorption of ingested toxic substances, but little else. The good part is that it can’t hurt you. It cannot be digested, therefor will pass right through your body.
