Comments from Seminar Hosts Chadron State College - Chadron, Nebraska (April 2009)
1-hour abbreviated program Instructor's Comments
“Thank you for speaking with my Lifespan Wellness class this semester. Your presentation was well prepared, and very well received by the students. The presentation moved along well and kept the students’ attention. Their genuine interest was reflected in the number who stayed after the class was over, to visit with you about charcoal. As the instructor for the course, I appreciated the fact that you were knowledgeable, well prepared, and interesting. I also very much appreciated that you did not promote or try to sell your products, but rather, presented solid information for students to reflect on. I hope you will be willing to present to my class next year. It was terrific. Thank you again!” Dr. N Nealeigh Some student comments: “I thought it was very interesting. The only thing I have ever used charcoal for was at home for the calves when they had scours. I was unaware of the benefits of charcoal for Everything else. I think I will invest in some. How the charcoal fights infection was the most interesting thing for me. I would like to have seen more of the examples in depth because they seemed really interesting. I would recommend these speakers again.” “It was interesting to hear all the various things charcoal can help with. I did not realize it could aid in so many ways. It would have been interesting to see the whole 2 hour program. I think there is a lot to learn.” “ I kind of thought things were out of date such as his statistics because the latest info was 2003. It was a pretty good persuasive presentation though” “I thought it was a great presentation and I wouldn’t mind going to the 2-hour program. I wish he would have focused less on the powerpoint and more on the actual charcoal.” “The most interesting thing was the charcoal poultices and how it heals open wounds. If I could change anything it would be the length of the presentation because if [it was] shorter [we] could try the samples.” “…very informative and beneficial to the average person for maintaining overall health. Practical for livestock also. My family raises cattle so it could be very beneficial to us. I would change the time. Towards the end he seemed a little rushed” “He made sense because it was not a pharmaceutical concoction. It was gross in liquid form…I’d recommend it as a school-wide 2-hour presentation.” “I thought that the presentation was really good. I have never heard anything about charcoal until then. It was a great learning experience and it really opened up my eyes to what charcoal can do – how it can speed up the healing process of cuts and wounds. Have him talk slower – he covered way too much info too fast for me to remember it all ☺” L*I*F*E Unlimited - Eagan, MN (March 2008) 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. John reminds each of us: “You are the gatekeeper of your own health.” |
