This review is from: Activated Charcoal in Medical Applications, Second Edition, (Hardcover)
This book is a gold mine of clinical research and practical applications of medicinal charcoal. There is the technical information on the known physics of charcoal and how it is made. The book focuses on activated charcoal's role as antidote for poisons but also covers a wide range of applications for human ailments, as well as animal applications and in agriculture. Cooney methodically examines all the available research and concludes there is no other single product that so effectively, rapidly, economically neutralizes the poisonous nature of so many natural and man-made chemicals as does activated charcoal. One deficiency of the book is its lack of anecdotal experiences with charcoal in the general public, which is another gold mine of information. This book and the other books by David Cooney on activated charcoal were a major resource for my book [...] and I am most grateful for his determination to draw attention to this universal and inexpensive antidote and detoxifier.
