Medical Applications
Activated Carbon has been known for many centuries. In 1550BC an Egyptian Papyrus referred to its use in medicinal treatment for food poisoning and in fact most recorded cases up to the 18th Century refer to its various medical applications. It was 1831. In front of his distinguished colleagues at the French Academy of Medicine, Professor Touery drank a lethal dose of strychnine and lived to tell the tale. He had combined the deadly poison with activated charcoal.
That's how powerful activated charcoal is as an emergency decontaminant in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract (which includes the stomach and intestines). Activated charcoal is considered to be the most effective single agent available. It is used after a person swallows or absorbs almost any toxic drug or chemical.
