Bone charcoal Explanation: Could this be connected with Bone Charcoal. It seems that a by-product of sheep was manufacturing a high grade charcoal from their bones. Do a Google search on "Charcoal" + "Sheep" and you'll find a reference. Sorry, I closed the page before noting it. |

Doctors still use it today as a healing agent, an antidote for poisons, and an effective treatment for indigestion and gas. Modern Industry also relies on Charcoal to deodorize, decolorize and purity solutions. Charcoal can do these varied tasks because of its amazing ability to attract other substances to its surface and hold them there. This is called adsorption. Charcoal can adsorb thousands of times its own weight in gases, heavy metals, poisons, and other chemicals, thus making them ineffective or harmless. http://healingtools.tripod.com/thn5.html |
