Comments from Seminar Hosts

L*I*F*E Unlimited - Eagan, MN (March 2008)
"Thank you, John Dinsley, for making the trek from Northwest Nebraska to present L-I-F-E members with part II of  Medicinal Charcoal & Home Remedies. John enlightened us with a simple question: “Do you have to wealthy to be healthy or does God only love rich people?”

John pointed out that prevention is better than the cure, therefore nature’s 8 doctors (Dr’s Nutrition, Exercise, Sunshine, Water, Air, Rest, Temperance and Trust In Divine Power) are a necessity to follow to help achieve better heath.  Here are a few examples: Dr. Nutrition is the most important, which embraces a diet of wholesome foods (preferably vegetarian) consisting of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts. Deep breathing helps the body relax and stimulates cardiovascular flow. Drink plenty of pure water to remove body wastes, quicken mental acuity and hydrate cell structure.

In speaking about charcoal, John told the history of its broad use. The Chinese used it in fireworks.  In ancient Phoenicia, the water barrels were charred inside to help with purity and freshness. In modern medicine, charcoal is used for filtration in kidney dialysis plus as an emergency neutralizer if poison has been ingested. In the pharmacy industry, charcoal helps remove unfavorable flavors and odors in drug compounds. The military utilizes charcoal in protective masks and uniform fabric. Veterinary medicine treats livestock and domestic pets with many types charcoal. And lastly, mom’s can safely use a liquid colic formula that has a charcoal base.

What about basic home remedies? They should be simple, affordable, accessible, easy to apply and free of adverse effects. Remember also "The Life is in the blood" and "perfect health depends upon perfect circulation". This was demonstrated by John as a simple home remedy involving a volunteer patient and a footbath. This method involves wrapping a person in sheets and blankets while he is sitting in a chair with the head exposed and the feet in a tub of hot water. The hot water draws the blood from the head to the feet, which creates a sweat and mild fever. The head is kept cool with a cold wet cloth rinsed often in ice water (the purpose is to regulate the fever). This protocol works well for headaches and sinus congestion. A cooling off period must follow to bring the body temperature down...

John reminds each of us: “You are the gatekeeper of your own health.”
