The Stomach Bug has shown its face in our community in the past week and when I got a call from a teacher, I knew that it had found our family as well.
Since Instagram won't let me post about home remedies without shadow banning and threatening my account, I'm putting the information here in this email for you!
When the stomach bug hits our home here's what we do, we take Activated Charcoal Slurry.
What is activated Charcoal??
Activated Charcoal Has been in use for at least 200 years, it was removed from ‘modern medicine’ when all the ‘drug’ companies began selling their drugs. It is still found in most Hospital emergency rooms to treat poisonings.
Charcoal is harmless and can be ingested. When charcoal passes through the digestive system it pulls and binds toxins and viruses and helps the body to eliminates them successfully! Our family has had great success in treating and minimizing the effects of not only the stomach virus but also colds and other flulike illnesses. It has been especially effective when taken within hours of the onset of symptoms.
Charcoal slurry is kept on hand in our medicine cabinet:
Slurry recipe:
2 TBS activated charcoal powder.
1 pint of water
We keep this pint jar in our medicine cabinet in case of poisoning emergencies.
When someone complains of a stomach ache or onset of other symptoms we dose as follows:
Shake the pint jar well.
Children 2-10 years, 1-2 oz of charcoal water followed by a glass of water.
10+ years, 2-4 oz followed by a glass of water.
Repeat the dose in 30 minutes.
Charcoal has worked effectively for us even after vomiting has already started.
When the child (or adult) is ready to resume eating we focus on returning the Ph balance of the gut to its healthy levels by doubling up on probiotic supplements for the next few days.
