Looks like food poisoning, may be direct may be indirect...



Yes, also to prevent any reoccurrence to any other person. Charcoal is one of the fastest methods to clear poison from the system, I'm surprised no one suggested it even in the hospital not even the doctors.

Just maybe it would have helped...

May their souls rest in peace and condolences to the family and loved ones

But,
I learnt it is activated charcoal, not just any type.

Even ordinary charcoal works but activated charcoal works better...

Really!?

Wow
Thanks

But,
How can I turn my ordinary charcoal at home to become activated?

Love800:
If i get a bite from a snake, how do i cure myself from the poison?

Snake bite is different, snake bite is venom and the venom goes into the blood stream and would require an anti venom to fight it, some venom can be ingested into the stomach without causing any major harm because it is not poison but venom...

Temi2468:

Wow

You're welcome but just make sure the charcoal is freshly made and should not be exposed to the air, it should be tightly covered, because charcoal by itself left open filters the air where ever it is kept, that's why if you leave charcoal open for some days it acquires dust on itself, that is the same thing it does in water and when you take it to fight poison in the stomach, it begins to clean the poisonous toxins in the stomach...

The reason why I don't advocate ordinary charcoal intake is because of the process most charcoal makers may have used to produce it and the way they may have exposed it to air before a customer buys it.

Unlike the activated charcoal that is priduced under a more hygenic process and packaged in tight containers because it is produced mainly for health benefits, so I don't advice normal consumption of any charcoal.

But in extreme cases like this poisoning due to availablitity, Any charcoal at this point will he of help, it will not be OK that they are looking for activated charcoal when someone is dying, if there is ordinary charcoal they can start with that immediately, I've used ordinary charcoal different times for extreme stomach pain and it worked when there was no activated charcoal...

Like they say half bread is better than none...

It is a guided process, I have tried doing it before and didn't get it, but I know a friend who makes it in her house, but she uses coconut back to make hers, they said coconut back is one of the best to use for activated charcoal, she sells it though and I had to buy from her

Drinking charcoal would have started fighting the food poisoning and cleaning the poisonous toxins...

You're welcome once again, and thanks for the complement...

Pufpuf:
Half knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge and that's what you just demonstrated.
Charcoal is not used for all kinds of poisoning.

For food poisoning, it is still one of the best as at now...

franugo:


As in to chew the charcoal like that?

In extreme and emergcency cases like this where you don't have access to activated charcoal, you can chew it just like that, but best to buy activated charcoal and have it at home, I've used it before for extreme stomach pain and it worked but try get activated charcoal, it works better...
