“Many old-fashioned remedies are going out of fashion, not because they are ineffective, but because an art is required for their management, and a sufficient degree of labor required that most people are unwilling to provide.
// Agatha Thrash, M.D. (Home Remedies p. 143)

Stored in the cabinets above my refrigerator are 20lbs of activated charcoal powder, because charcoal is without a rival as an agent for cleansing and assisting the healing of the body. The universal uses of charcoal are almost as close to those of water.

On June 15, 2021, Deyanciss presented with pain and cellulitis of the orbital portion of the right eyelid, the lower canaliculus and ampulla of his right eye and cheek from an “unprovoked bee sting.” This was a serious affliction, because the eye is very vital. That’s why God gave us two. Did you know that the eyes are another lobe of the brain? Evidence for this can be shown on MRI films of the brain .

Venomous beestings can readily be treated with a charcoal poultice. I dissolved one tablespoon of charcoal with one tablespoon of flaxseed meal in a tablespoon of hot water, and waited 2 minutes for the mixture to congeal. I spread the gelatinous mixture onto a 2″x2″ 4 ply gauze, molding the poultice into his inner eye socket. I fixed the poultice in place with a large, adhesive bandaid. Six hours later, he removed the bandage to play basketball.

Deyanciss remembered the year Mauri was bit on his lower leg by a black widow spider and how effective the charcoal poultice was without wide surgical excision.
