Since you asked...
I got the activated charcoal at a natural health shop run by some 7th Day Adventists.
They really tried to witness to me, but got nowhere. They will probably 'love' my return visit to that store though.
The oil I purchased online since none of our area stores had any of the best kinds to use.
I take a small amount of the charcoal and add it to some water to make a slurry, and then I swish it in my mouth for a minute or so. Then I lightly brush my teeth with it. It looks nasty, but it works amazingly well. It is quite good at relieving pain.
As for the oil pulling, I am using cold pressed sunflower oil. The procedure is to take a tablespoon full on an empty stomach and swish it in your mouth for 20 minutes, and then spit it out as the oil has pulled toxins out of the body. It is important to wash your mouth out with water after this as well.
Apparently it works quite well as yet again today I have more mouth pains and canker sores, which are toxins that have come to the surface which have been expelled. It is also my second day with a low grade fever. Thankfully this will all pass soon.
Yuck! But, in Kenny's case it got him an additional 10 years, and I thank God for this! In my case, had I known about this sooner, I could have done much to prevent this. Then again, had I known the truths about God years ago, I could have done much to prevent so many things in my life from going wrong too.
But - The Lord knew these things would happen, so instead of being angry that I have these problems now, I am thankful that I have hopeful solutions. And, I am VERY thankful that God brought me from darkness into light now. While I wish it had been sooner, I am simply thankful He did it.
I am truly a blessed man!
Kenny.. God is blessing you in so many ways. I know He has purpose in all of this. Hang in there, and know you have family praying for you!
