All About Herbs, Charcoal, Medications, and Drugs

One extremely helpful remedy of the past, described in this volume, was the use of charcoal in the treatment of the "bloody flux." This should be used today to help absorb the toxins from infections such as E. coli that can cause life threatening bloody diarrhea as one of its serious complications. Charcoal has actually been very beneficial in all cases of stomach and intestinal upset. This book is a comprehensive compilation of counsels regarding the substances mentioned in the title, plus many other natural medicines, originally found in the literature of early Seventh-day Adventists but with practical value to all individuals. The focus is on the perceived great divide between the simple, natural medicines readily used at home and the evolving complex drug medications prescribed by health professionals over the last 160 years.
