Activated Charcoal –The Black Medicine #health

Back to the second and final segment of our show this morning. We have been joined on the set by Cornelio Marfield. He is the expert, if I may say. Herbalist. Herbalist, nutritionist, you name it. Today, however, we're going to be discussing what is known as black medicine and black medicine is activated charcoal. Am I right? Good morning, Cornelio. Good morning, my friend. Good morning and good morning to our viewers. It's a pleasure to be back. I think the last time we talked about detox and I think this is a good springboard. Well, that was a good springboard for this presentation. So, this is a form of detox too, but people probably are questioning right now black medicine. Most people know about white medicine, but indeed it's ancient. It's quite ancient. Actually, I was reminding myself that when I first learned about this, when I did my first studies in medical missionary work at a hospital, a lifestyle center in Tennessee, they reminded us this all the way back to World War I when they had it in the gas masks. And they still do when they have biochemical warfare and to pull toxins away from the inhalation of the lungs. So, they use it in filters. People today use it in filters, put it on their pipes, their facets. They use it also in the dialysis machine, which is a form of purification. It's an artificial kidney that operates about two-thirds the real way a natural kidney would operate. But the key is the activated charcoal again, because it has an adsorptive property, not just an absorptive, but an adsorptive and magnetic grip and pull for toxins. And that's very interesting. Now, I want to make sure you see this from the beginning. It's a little bit different than the normal charcoal that people use in barbecue. It's the same concept, but unfortunately that has been chemicalized with a lot of other ignitable substances that is not necessarily good for human consumption. But it's the same principle, the same way that charcoal was prepared. It's wood. It's wood, burnt wood. Eucalyptus, coconut shell are some of the excellent sources for burning purposes. And you burn it on a limited heat, a lot of pressure, and then you activate it with things like lemon water or calcium chloride. You will forgive me for asking or for thinking out loud here. For whatever reason, I am thinking that anything burnt is carcinogenic and harmful to the body. It's interesting you said that. So how does this work in that context? It's interesting because what causes things to be carcinogenic is a process called oxidation. When charcoal is made, it is made in a very limited amount of air, so it doesn't oxidize. Once it's not oxidized and it's activated, it keeps the potential in it for healing. When it becomes oxidized, that's the place for the cholesterol. Cholesterol is very good for our body. Once it's heated and it gets oxidized, it can become harmful. So it's interesting you say that because what can be used for good can also be detrimental based on the preparation of it. So that's a good observation, sir. So this is a scientific process. I like that. It's a scientific process and not only scientific process, but it's scientifically viable in the field of medical areas because, for example, the FDA, which is one of the leading health institutions, rates charcoal as the number one antitoxin in the world. So, for example, it's highly recommended in the hospitals. I think most hospitals will have it. People will drink Gramoxone or anything like that. They would utilize it first and foremost there. And as we continue in the presentation, we'll notice that you can use it for scorpion stings, snake bites, serious food poisoning. You can use it for vomiting, bloating. There's a host of things that charcoal is good for. We're just beginning to understand this. But it's been out there long. I remember my first training was in chemistry. I used to be a chemist. I used to always work in the lab, and we always had to practice safety. And one of the things you always have in the lab is activated charcoal in case somebody would drink something, whether by mistake or intentionally, so you have it readily available in the lab. Just like you would have a fire extinguisher where you're doing heating. So, for safety purposes, and I remember I used to always go to Central Drugstore, and I would buy an amount in the powder form, and that's another point. It's available. It's easily accessible. Most pharmacists will have it. All the health food stores will have it. I've never seen it on the shelf. It's interesting. It's right there. Vitamin A, Vitamin B, B-complex. Charcoal. Charcoal. Activated charcoal. You go to the... I live in Belmont Pond at Broad East. We have it. This is one I bring in from Mexico. I only like this because this is a vegan caps, and I tend to go towards more vegetable caps than the plant-based, the animal-based. They kind of use this tubing to make capsules. This is more healthy, in my opinion, based on the fact that it's more vegetable-based, but you can find the same 90 capsules at most pharmacies. You have the Nature and Goodwill brand, etc., and yeah, I would recommend every home have a bottle of charcoal in the event that somebody would get food poisoning, somebody would get snaked by, somebody would get stung by a bee. We are going to talk as we go along. As is seen on the screen, it is available in different forms. You have it in tablets. This is tablet form. You have it in capsule form, and like this one here, I buy in sponge. I also make it myself incidentally. It's a whole lot of process to get it pulverized and fine, but this is the powder form, and this one is one that I order from the States, too, because I know viewers are watching this program out of the country internationally. They can get this brand easily at any health food store, and people use this on a daily basis. You'll be surprised. People drink it for prevention and for treatment of toxins. You mentioned detoxification. In terms of someone whose diet may cover a range of different foods, some food substance that they ingest may be not necessarily toxic, but it builds up over time, and you want to be able to cleanse your system. Does this help in that area? I think the first slide that was placed there shows an area with food, which was cholesterol and gout, or what we call inflammation of the joints relative to arthritis. If you notice to the bottom, it says it lowers bad cholesterol, and the simple reason because bad cholesterol, and I think we discussed this in our last topic, tend to have an affinity for toxin. That's why we get that big waistline eventually as we have tox accumulate. It pulls toxin. It grows. It accumulates, so what activated charcoal will do, it will go into the blood. It will go into the tissues. It will go into the cell, and because of its affinity to pull toxin, that toxicity, what we call lipotoxicity, a combination of lipid or fat with toxin, it draws it apart, particularly the bad cholesterol, which we know as LDL. Some people call it the lucifer density lipoprotein, right? The LDL is the bad one, and it's not what you really want to be elevated, so it helps to pull some of that and get it out through the lymphatic system and through other portals of elimination. It has that affinity. In terms of gout, gout is generally caused by uric acid development, which is acidic and toxic. Again, it tends to like that, and I think you'll see later on a picture where I was working in the States. We had a guy there, and all the pictures that I have will be placed by people who have granted permission for it to show, but this gentleman here, we had this huge poultice we were making on his stomach, and he had ulcerated stomach. He had serious cramps and bloating, and he was drinking a lot of caffeinated products and drinking enough water, and so we replaced this poultice every night, and somewhere along the show, I'll teach how to make a poultice quickly, but we would make poultices from activated charcoal along with flaxseed or lenasa, and one is for inflammation, which is the flaxseed. The other one is for pulling out the toxin. We put it over kidneys. People have kidney issues. This is a topical application. Topical, because we can use it internally. I appreciate that. As well as topical, you can even use it in a bath. In this case, on the screen, we were using it for gangrene and for diabetic foot ulcers. It's also good for that, too, because it helps to pull the toxin, which is generally caused by toxicity, again, gangrene and ulcer, so it assists with that program, but what I normally suggest when we're dealing with wounds, etc., we do it internally. We do it externally. That's my little girl there. She has a very interesting testimony. I remember one night, we came home from a function, and our dog apparently dealt with some poisonous food and was foaming and vomiting, and his face was swollen, and automatically, my daughter reminded me to use some activated charcoal, and we mixed up a cup with two teaspoons. We put it down the dog's throat. He was very weak, and the next morning, that's how the dog was up. He was alive, and today, that dog is still alive, so I mean, if you can work for a dog, imagine what he would do for you and I. You would advise, though, just to be very clear, that there is something severe that you don't take the chance, particularly a snake bite. You kept on speaking of snake bites, and the treatment of charcoal would be something temperate until you get that person to a medical facility. Any venomous bite and sting must be or should be attended by the hospital, but let's say I live way in Biscayne. I'm 25 miles away. I'll give you a testimony. There was a young man. I used to teach biology. His name is Carl. He doesn't mind me telling you his story. He was working by Maypen one Sunday, and what he did for a living was make cujun oil, and the cujun tend to harbor a lot of snakes, particularly the diamondback tamagaw, because they look alike, and they tend to camouflage and hide and live in that area, and when he put to pull out some of the cujun seed, he got a deadly bite by one of these big tamagaw, so he was rushed to Belize City Hospital, where there was no antitoxin for the snake bite. He was already bleeding through his teeth. He was vomiting blood. I mean, the guy was in a very critical condition. Not correction. Clarification here, right? So the tamagaw, for what we know as the pheromones, it has a hemotoxic poison venom, right? So that's what brings down the blood. Excellent observation, and again, I guess with his excitement and everything, he was really taking hard work on his whole body. He was already paralyzing. This is when I really saw how powerful charcoal was. I didn't have any charcoal at the time. I was just learning this, so they decided, they said, run him down to Loma Luz Hospital in Cayo. So they are traveling with him, and there was a guy who is into this field too, not just medical missionary work, but also into naturopathy, who had some of this at his home, so they stopped about 10 miles prior to the hospital, and quickly the guy said, this guy is going to dead. He can't go another mile from here, and he made about two teaspoons in half a glass of water, and then put some more water, and had him drink as much as he could, and on every 10 minutes to 20 minutes, he gave that to the individual, and they made a poultice immediately and applied on the wound. At this time, the wound was very swollen. You know, they did a little bush thing. They tied it up so that they couldn't spread, but I personally believe eventually he reached the hospital, so I'm alluding to the question you asked earlier. He did reach the hospital, and today he's still alive. I was told he got bit a second time. At the same time, we got to do the same work, but this time he had charcoal at home. Nonetheless, my advice, if you're really bitten bad by venomous things, or bites from snakes, poisonous snakes, it would be wise, even if you apply or give charcoal at home, to still take the person to the hospital. That would just be wise, in my opinion, but I'm saying if you live far from a hospital, it may very well save your life. Now, here's my other question then, right, since we're speaking on venoms and what have you. Yes, sir. The tomograph, as we identified, has a hemotoxic venom. There are other snakes that have neurotoxic venoms, right, which affects your nervous system. Does this also work for that? It's a very good question. I would think it would still, because one is for affecting the blood, and the other is affecting the nerve. They are excitotoxins, both of them, and I think if you can relax the nerves by pulling out whatever other toxin might be emitted by the bite, I think it would help. Like I said, I think it's a better preventative measure than just having the person there, and just taking that person to the hospital, and he may very well die on the way. So, I would still administer it, both internally and externally, although it might be a neurotoxin, because toxin is toxin in my opinion, no? It might affect the nerves, one might affect the blood, but it's still toxic, and the purpose of charcoal is to remove toxin from the system. To come to a less morbid use for it, yes, I know one of the applications for it is acne, which is a huge problem. I like that question. Could you talk to us about what it does for skin care? Yes. Incidentally, I have just started with about three other entrepreneurs. We opened a little spa in Belmopan, and we offer these services. So, we do facial, we do foot care, we do sports massage, we do reflexology, etc. There's even another lady coming in that does, she does esthetician work, where she uses different poltices, etc., to help with weight loss, but like in this case here, you see that's an application, facial application, where we use certain oils, essential oils, particularly things like coconut oil, glycerin, we use bentonite clay, and we use activated charcoal. It's a poltice, like, but it's a paste, sorry, let me rephrase that, and so it's applied externally on the face, and it's left on for about 45 minutes. This is a treatment we offer at the spa. It's right in front of Brody's, and you apply it all over the face, and what it does, it will start to pull out toxin, because acne, again, is embedded toxins with fat, and I remember we did one the other day, and a girl, young girl, and you saw the stuff pulling out, because it's a mass. Blackheads, no? Yes, and it's a mass, and when you pull it out, it was amazing, you see some of the black face actually emitted from it. So, it's very good for acne. Of course, we also have to watch your diet, because the contributing factors for the skin disorder is normally the diet. I would even apply a poltice on the liver, which is one of the main... For acne? Well, yes, because the liver produces a lot of fat, and that's where the production takes place. So, our skin is normally a reflection of our liver, that's why we have a liver spot, etc. So, if you can start to put poltices on the liver to pull out some of the excessive lipotoxins, as we call it, or get it into the lymphatic system to drain out, I think it would be best for the person, but in terms of the facial, yes, you would apply it, you leave it on, we put like toilet paper there, so it forms a mass. You literally take it off, you know, like a mass when it's finished, and you pull out all the toxins. Oh, forgive me, Colonel, I don't... And by the way, and then we use soap for that purpose, too. We have the activated soap. I don't mean soap. Yes, or the... Scientific here, or technical, but there are various forms of acne, right? You have cystic acne, which are the ones that are the hard ones that are under, like boils, so to speak. Does this also work for that, or is it only the small little pimple bumps? I think it would work for, because the, you know, notice I said the chemical composition is not just charcoal. We have bentonite clay, which is also a very good antitoxin. We have coconut oil we use, or aloe vera. So, those harder ones, those add a composition or a mixture, which actually help to soften those tissues and hopefully also get into there and pull it out. But it's more, yes, for the typical eczema and other smaller ones that are there by toxicity, but I still think all of these things are accumulations of toxins. Yeah. And so you're trying to get them out. You don't want them to be embedded and stay, you know. What about the digestive? Does that also help with acne as well? For the digestive, you have it, topically you were speaking about this now, putting it on the mask, but the pills as well, does that assist with the... Well, I would think that anything that cleans the blood will clean the skin. That's another rule. In my field of naturopathy, that's what we do. We don't try to treat symptoms, we get to the root cause. So, when clients come to see me for whatever purpose, if it's weight loss, it's diabetes, it's ulcer, I try to clean the blood because they always say life is in the blood. The body is fed by blood every day, every second, in 20, 30 seconds, 30 minutes, the whole body, the blood circulates. So, if I can get a substance in that blood that will pull toxins, as a matter of fact, just for regular blood cleansing, I would do a little bit of activity, charcoal every now and again. I wouldn't do it too often or too long because it can also bind you and you don't want that. But I would every now and again take a little spoonful and drink it. And whenever you do it, you'll find your stool will be very heavy as it pulls other things like heavy metals, etc. It cleans the blood, it cleans the stomach. So, it's going to have a dark coloration, nothing to be afraid of. But I have observed in my own personal usage that when I would drink a little every so often, maybe the aluminum from the deodorant, whatever, it's pulling that and so that you will see drop very heavy. It's very interesting. You should try it. When you say every so often, what specifically is that? Every two weeks? Maybe every weekend, especially if you're a continuous drinker, etc. You'll find out that this is even good to prevent the daily hangover. I'm not suggesting that you drink and then use charcoal. That's a lifestyle issue and everybody must be respected for the choices they make. But it has been proven hangover is caused by alcohol poisoning. So, activated charcoal do not pull the alcohol out of you. I must confess that. But there is a toxic program that takes place when you reach the liver. There is a deamination, there is a breakdown process and a chemical substance that is toxic, that poison the brains and that causes that hangover feeling afterwards. So, what people have done is they will drink alcohol and throw down some tablets afterwards. Does it work? Well, it has been proven that it works. I'm not suggesting either way that this is the lifestyle you want to live. But I'm just saying that that is just how amazing it is that it's going to reach, like I said, when you study a portion of charcoal under the microscope, you should do some research on this. It has thousands and thousands of cells that can just grip toxins. There was a guy, a French chemist in the 1930s that did a demonstration in front of an audience. He drank 10 grams of strychnine and everybody was waiting to see what would happen. But he drank an amount of charcoal just prior to it. That's what we use in our stray dogs eradication program, right? We feed them strychnine and then that poisons them. Don't try that at home. Don't try this at home. Precisely so. But I'm just demonstrating how amazing charcoal is. And it's been around, like I said, for some time. I mean, I remember a long time ago, we used to always buy charcoal filter. But in the States, that's all we use at the school. All the facets, everything is charcoal filter. You even have now the mouth stem that comes with it already. You just pour the water in and it filters it. It's an amazing substance. Amazing substance. It's amazing that science always comes back to itself because looking at one of the slides you had up, it actually whitens teeth. And that was something I remember my parents talking about. They used to brush your teeth with corn cob. Well, I remember as a little boy, you said that. I remember when you feel bad. Old school, they take our bread and they burn it and they come out and they scrape it up and they put it in water and drink it. So I am quite aware that this has been a process a long time. Like I said, the only difference between this and the one that is used for barbecue, if the barbecue grips or whatever you call it, didn't have all that toxins in it, the ignitable substance, it would serve the same purpose. Because it's the same procedure, it looks the same way. When you burn the wood, like I make it from coconut shell and it gets that crispy like way. I mean, you just pulverize it with something or you have a good machine that can blend it up properly. It looks just like the wood that is used for charcoal barbecue. It's just that that one is toxified with substances. That's what I'm saying. Now, that being said, let's get to the making of the poultice. So we want to make a poultice. First, what is a poultice? A poultice is a piece that is normally used for external use. As for internal, let me go back. Externally, you can also use this in a bath. I remember when I was studying at Wildwood in the States, a little girl got stung by some bees, her whole body. The hospital was 10 miles, the next medical institution was 10 miles from there. So what the teacher suggested we did was to take the young lady to the wellness center and they administer a bath for her. About two cups of charcoal, they put it in a bath and they submerge her body in it and left her in there for an hour. It was amazing to see all that sting residing. I remember when I went to a meeting and something stung somebody by their face. It was swelling. I always used to tell her, we carry three trees with me in medical. We just go out past Easter weekend. We carry praise on the cross, we carry charcoal, we carry cayenne pepper. When I come back, I probably will talk about cayenne pepper, right? But charcoal, it's a lifesaver. It's really literally a physical lifesaver and I just quickly made a piece and I just applied it on the fellow's face and immediately the swelling began to reside because what was pierced in his face was actually that piece of sting that is toxic and once it pulls that out, it resides. So I know for a fact that this thing works but that's one way it can be used externally, a bath. Even with care, sometimes with a diabetic foot, I would just soak their foot. If I see it's getting black, it's amazing the medicine for a black foot, right? But I would put it in there and I would apply it and then I would do some massage therapies to enhance the circulation and then the actual charcoal began to pull out through the skin. Like I said, we used to use it on kidney problems. If you have people who can't even do dialysis, it's an option. I'm not saying it's going to save their life but I remember in the States, we had a guy who had some kidney issues and when we take it off in the morning, you smell a high scent in the pulpy. So what I'm about to make can be used any part of your body. You can use it on your eyes. You have inflamed eyes and you can even use this like a form of a mask. On the eyelids, not on there. Yeah, you can apply it over, you know, close your eye and it pulls all the inflammation and we are using Flaxseed with it which is anti-inflammatory so we do a little cement work. I normally use three teaspoon of the activated charcoal. Cement work? I'm going to mix some cement here. You want to help me open this? Sure. I don't have much nail I don't know and one of the only thing I don't like about charcoal, I confess it can get very messy if you don't be careful. As a matter of fact, when we were in the States and we were making poultices, we used to always have an apron and probably I'm setting up my friend here. They close this for shipping. Yeah, all right. We need to get in there though. All right, there we go. There we go, yeah. All right, this is a new pot, that's why too. So this is, I buy this at Spanish Locale. It's about 15-20 dollars the most, about probably eight ounces and so what I do, I'm going make a poultice. All right, maybe we should. 15-20 dollars for that amount? Yes. Wow, that's a bit on the expensive side probably. Well, considering the fact of what it does, you know, it saves our life. I think it's worth the investment, yes. And so I do about three spoon of the charcoal there and then what I'll do, I do two teaspoon of, this is already grounded, this is what we call the Nasser flaxseed and this is more for the inflammation. Normally with a bite, a sting, anything of that nature, you get inflammation. So I apply it that way. Basically, I do this, making a little mixture there and then I would apply a little bit of water to it. And I could do other things with this, you know. I mean, even the moringa that we also use at the spa, you know, you can use that topically. I mean, there's other things that we can apply and utilize. But what we want to do, we want to get this in a paste like, like almost like two paste. All right. You wouldn't want to apply this to an open wound? I would probably not apply to an open wound, but if it comes to push and, I mean, if you get a bad, bad wound and it's the last resort, I would still apply it because you're pulling out toxin either way. But yeah, it would be best not to apply, but we could still use it on ulcerated foot. I have used it. What I would do, I use some honey with it too. Honey is very good for ulceration too, by the way, if you get a raw one. I'm just concerned that when you have this open wound, that it's, I don't want, it's kind of dirty, so you have to wash it off afterwards. Yeah, that's where the charcoal soap comes in or the neem soap. I, I normally will wash all my client feet, whether we are dealing with diabetic foot ulcer or whatever case it might be. Even a snake, by this advice, you wash it properly, quickly, and then you apply the poultice. You take, you're already taking out some of that, like you said, infection and toxics, toxicity or whatever else might be there, you know, germs. Why is this not as popular? Well, as, well, in terms of me knowing about it, I think that if it's popular, I would know about it. It may be foreign to you, but it's for others, right? Well, my family is from a little village on the old road, so I would think that this is something that is really available to, maybe, maybe in the rural communities, it's something popular and they probably won't buy it for 20 bucks. They probably make it themselves. Right. Well, I will say this, right, and it's not to, to digress from what we're discussing here, but in much the same way how Cornelia is saying, look, we need to have some charcoal at home, some activated charcoal. I'm thinking, it's the same thing my parents used to say, you have to have bizzeh at home too. In the event that anything goes wrong, you take a couple, you know, glasses with water and with some bizzeh and it works. I'm thinking that, to some extent, it's almost like a parallel to having this at home. I don't know why it's not so well known. I, maybe because I've been, like I said, in the science world all my life, I knew about this a long time, but in the States, everybody talks about charcoal. I mean, wherever you go, people, there are more health, because remember health food store and stuff, just the emerging belief. We are used to the typical pharmacy and even pharmacies now, if you go to most pharmacies, you're seeing alternative methods. More organic means. Organic stuff and you're seeing, like you said, the vitamin E and stuff. You're seeing more of that coming up as the diseases are getting worse. But basically what I do, and then I would just probably put a little water. You could do this in a woven cloth, but I'm just using this for practical purposes. So let's say I use your hand. Let's say you got sting, you got bit here. All right, we tie up here, maybe to prevent most of this running until we get you to a hospital. So what I do, I'll apply this here externally, and I think there was a picture on the screen revealing this, and then I would use plastic wrap because you want to keep it, you want to keep the moisture. If I am doing this on a regular customer or a regular client or a regular patient, like when we were working in the hospital in the States, and we were doing the one with the ulcer or the one with the kidney issue, we would make poultices in abundance because it's a lot of people and it takes a time obviously, but we keep it refrigerated and we don't keep it more than 24 hours. So that's like two hours I would spend just making poultice and I would store it in the refrigerator. And there was Dr. Grieves, whosoever was overseeing me, would say, Samarfield, you need to go to room number 23 and apply a poultice. And you know, there were certain protocols to follow. We just grab it from the refrigerator and get it. But the more fresh evidently you make it, the better. All right. It's also good to have it there in case of emergency. So if the poultice is already made, and there was a little bit more speciality, we'd put a plastic and we'd tape it nicely and it look a little bit more professional. But I'm saying when it's emergency, you just want to get this on, wrap this and leave it. And normally if it's just like maybe swelling or a little bit bite that you got, I would just leave it overnight on. For the poultices on the kidneys or for the liver, even for the stomach for ulceration. On an area where you might have arthritis or inflammation, I would apply it there and just leave it overnight. Remove it and throw it away. Make sure you wash your hand properly because we are dealing with toxin. Yeah. All right. For the skeptics. Yes. I think this is a snake oil salesman. Okay. He says, man, he has very nice stories. Well, nothing like stories a lot. Scientifically, is there supporting evidence? Well, like I tell you, the FDA, you can't get more scientific than the FDA. The Food and Drug Administration is the number one leading pharmaceutical industry in the world. And whatever they advocate and support, the medical field has to, because they are the one that runs that. So this is now, this is, every hospital should have activated charcoal in this emergency room. Everyone. Actually, I would think they would go against the conventional rules and regulation if they don't have it. I'll just say that. Tell me something, because you know, profit we can achieve. So we see this on TV. We're not going to spend 20 bucks on this. Well, let me not say that. There's some people who can't afford. This is a lot for $20. This is a lot of charcoal. Especially if it's just for emergency purposes, you could have this a long time. It's worth the investment. But what, what about five pelican cost more than $20? Yes. Yes. Yes. I will leave that there too. My question is, you know, there are some people who can't afford a $20 here who will simply go and try to use the charcoal from their barbecue on this weekend. What are the negative effects of using, you know, the charcoal that's processed that has in all of this? Well, it won't serve the purpose. It's going to be counterproductive. I mean, you don't want to put, you're trying to take out toxin, not add toxin. So I wouldn't advise it. If they really want to try to do something and I, you can't just burn any wood too, because most wood is chemicalized too and treated. So again, it's counterproductive. The ones that I normally use, if you want to try some coconut shell, you dig in the ground and you put some zinc covering, just limited and you make it burn slowly because that's the key. And then when it's cool off, you could get some lemon juice to further activate it, cool off, you throw it on it, you wash it properly, and then you dry it, and then you pulverize it. That's my best bet. But the coconut shell would be the best bet. Yeah. You heat it, but not, you don't get it on ashes. You heat it till it become that nice crusty way like a barbecue thing. Again, this is like, I'm trying to, now I'm trying to use my ability to make something of this nature. This is actually a cleanser that I had bought in the States. This is for your skin, you know, to remove dirt, et cetera. I'm working on a chemistry as we are speaking to see how I could provide it to the public. Maybe that would be my next product when I come back, right? All right. But we have powders, we have the soups, we have the tablets available, not just at the spa, but most, like I said, most health food stores, most pharmacies have these products already there. It's just for us to access. I should be healed after the break, right? Well, I hope so. Hopefully that's part of your body, right? I can't talk about healing totally, but maybe you should drink some, especially if you had a couple this weekend. Any words in conclusion? Well, you know, they say if you think knowledge is expensive, try ignorance, and if you think health is expensive, try sickness. So I also say that prevention is better than prescription and caution better than cure. I think if every Belizean could have some form of activated charcoal in their home, you know, we talk a lot about Moringa in previous show, you know, and the benefits of it and just having it for energy and for whatever. I think another product that I'm trying to push here as a naturopath, you know, and what I learned and study over the years is that this is probably one of the best things to have in your home in preventing a lot of issues, toxicity, pain, a belly bloating. It's good. It's so multi-purpose. It's like, why don't you have it? That's the question. Why don't you have it? And I am sharing knowledge free of cost. I tell people, man, you get free knowledge, you use it wisely. So I would hope that people would tap into activated charcoal, the black medicine. Maybe you haven't heard about it. Maybe this is your first time, but Google, you know, research, you know, study what medical science has suggest about it. Go to the hospital, ask your doctors, you know, and if you get the information that is verifiable, then and reliable and use it. That's just wise, no? All right. So thanks for having joined us this morning. It's a pleasure. Rather interesting conversation on black medicine. Thanks for the thought provoking questions. I appreciate that, no? I'm learning too as you ask questions, so I appreciate that. Yeah, thanks for inviting me. And like I said, I could leave my contact number. My personal number is 625-4231. If you have any more questions, you could find me on Facebook at Pernilo, New Vision Marfil. For the spa, we have a number 605-7426. I also have a diabetes page, which is Belize Diabetes Association, BMP. And by the way, myself and a few other colleagues are thinking of opening a little diabetes wellness center. So maybe we'll talk more about that when we come back. You're a busy man. Well, you know, to whom much is given, much is required. Thank you for having me. All right. So we're going to take our final commercial break, and when we return, it's to wrap up our show for this morning.
