This amazing testimony began in 2019, when I received a phone call from a wife who was extremely concerned for her husband who had what appeared to be a brain abscess. Her husband, Charles, was in the background sometimes chiming in; he was seriously ill and yet had such an upbeat attitude! He at times would lose his balance, vomit without barely a moment's notice and sometimes pass out. Not one to trust allopathic medicine, Charles, a devout Christian, had made his peace with his Creator, and if it was his time to go, so be it, however, his wife was not so keen on that idea, and through her research together they wondered, could charcoal possibly help?
They were no strangers to charcoal, yet, this was serious, for when they plugged in all his symptoms, all roads led to a brain abscess, of which, without surgery, most likely led to death.
Charles with his wife's help started using the charcoal right away with amazing results. I had cautioned him that once he started feeling better, that the temptation would be to quit doing the treatments, and that he needed to continue them for at least another six weeks after the symptoms were gone. Well, he did feel better rather quickly, quit the charcoal treatments and when the symptoms returned, he messaged me his amazing testimony and said that he knew what to do and he was going to get right back on track with his treatments and he did.
We are going to post his entire testimony in his own words, which he kindly wrote out for us, some years ago. You would think we would have had this up long ago, but shortly after covid hit and all the challenges that followed in our personal life and then business, we have not had the energy beyond maintaining, and thus, God willing, you will start seeing more and more interesting blogs, coming your way that we hope will give you hope and courage to try a simple and natural remedy, that if it doesn't work, it will do you no harm, so why not try?
Below is Charles' testimony that he wrote in Messenger, via FB. Charles' messages will be bold blue and Kimberly's a bold pink.
At the end of the thread, I will post exactly what I told Charles to do, basically a mud mask for his brain. I have long hair, and though the charcoal mud mask for the brain can be messy, I have done this myself, so don't despair, those with long locks can do this too, without having to cut your hair or making your bed a black mess.
What is extremely exciting about Charles' testimony, is that often, once we learn that someone is on the right healing path, we never hear from them again, and when we share their testimony such as at a charcoal program or over the phone, we cannot help but wonder how they are doing.
Well, to my surprise I received a call this past summer that made my heart jump for joy, as it was Charles himself who called, with a charcoal question, not for himself, but someone he was very interested in helping! And this is how it goes folks, once you have a powerful testimony, you want to share it with others, and you wonder, hmm, maybe charcoal or some other natural remedy can help this suffering one just like it helped me.
We did not change anything to his testimony, except for some misspelled words and a little arranging of the sentence structure to make it more clear to the reader. Also, before we share Charles' story, I just want to thank our many readers and customers who have supported us through the years and to those who also have kindly shared their testimonies with us, you are the reason that keeps us going, and makes all our efforts so worthwhile.

So, back in the fall of 2019 I see a message in FaceBook that said:
Charles: Kimberly doesn't know it, but I became very ill with a brain abscess and she kindly and feely spoke with my wife for a good while to try to help and, by taking her advice, I recovered from what is deemed impossible to recover from without surgery. In short...it appears that she saved my life.
Kimberly: Hi Charles, thank you so much for sharing your testimony, this truly made my day and brought tears to my eyes, I am so happy for you and your family.......I so commend you to be willing to try such a simple remedy. Would you mind if we shared this on our blog and FaceBook? We do not have to use your name at all, but this is something that others need to know, using charcoal for the brain. Thank you again for taking the time to get back to us. It really meant so much to me and reminds me why my husband and I started this business in the first place, to share what we know about charcoal and other simple remedies. God's blessings.....Kimberly
Charles: There is really quite a bit to share and I will write it out because it is quite interesting. If it helps with the genuineness factor, feel free to share my name. I'll try to get to it this weekend.
Kimberly: I look forward to your reply, thank you so much! We will just use your first name, it does help connect people. This is very exciting, you have no idea how many people you will be helping!
Charles: So.... my name is Charles and I am from Springfield, MO.
There is so much to say. First off, both my wife and I have long-standing health issues, and both basically decided some time ago that there is a time appointed for us to die, and as believers in the most precious gospel of Jesus Christ, we are not averse to this. So really, while we have an obligation to preserve life within reason, we are both prepared to take our exit when that time comes. Accordingly, if we didn't find a remedy for the brain abscess , there is every reason to believe that it would have taken my life. If a medical treatment doesn't involve poisonous nostrums and is fairly straight-forward, we may feel inclined to use it accordingly, but it's doubtful in my case that would have happened. While I was not officially diagnosed, yet when Bonnie, my wife, read to me the list of symptoms for a 'brain abscess', it was an exact description of my symptoms.
So, I woke up on a Thursday morning July 12th, and I was quite sick. The things is that I was experiencing symptoms that we've all doubtless experience at one time or another, considered abstractly from each other, yet it was upon the whole, like nothing I'd ever experienced before. I just plain felt WEIRD in the head. Not crazy-weird, but just weird! I had a fever that proved intractable, and which persisted no matter what I did. I had bizarre balance issues, in such that I nearly ran into someone in the store, which was awkward. I feared store personnel (who knew me), may have thought that I was drunk. At one point I just suddenly threw up. The bizarre thing was I literally had only like two seconds of warning. I started to walk out of the kitchen, and then just had to go for the sink. I'm thankful I was not in the living room. My spacial senses were off.....I managed to run into our fence while parking our car, and nearly ran into other parked cars in a parking lot on two separate occasions, amongst other similar issues. I also was quite disoriented and couldn't keep a conversation together very well, but I worked several days in our business in this condition in spite of my new self. I also had some vision issues going on.
After a few days of this, it became apparent that something was really off, and my wife started trying to put the symptoms together and figure out what was going on. I had an infection in my left sinus for a very long time. It's connected to a tooth issue. She started reading me the symptoms of a 'brain abscess'. It matched with eerie precision. We read further that you either get it drained (i.e....your head hacked open by a surgeon, and the puss area aspirated), or you die rather instantly. I didn't particularly feel like having my head cut open. That didn't seem like fun at all. ? One evening I felt so weird and sick that I felt that perhaps this was the time that God had called for. I was quite happy actually. But I slept and awoke, and the Lord sustained me for His own purposes.
Many times in our marriage my wife Bonnie, has figured out something or other that worked for very serious health conditions. She began to research various treatment options for a brain abscess on the net, and I had suggested she look for the RX Charcoal book by Clavin and Agatha Thrash, and that search led her to an article written by John Dinsley, from the buyactivatedcharcoal.com web site. Somehow Bonnie, then managed to get through to his wife Kimberly, at Charcoal House on a phone conversation, and in a most selfless manner, she spent a great deal of time on the phone helping Bonnie, though we hadn't bought anything, and we didn't buy anything. (We have now!!! Hahaha) During this time, Kimberly minutely shared three different options on how to apply the charcoal which were quite time consuming, messy, and inconvenient. Not as inconvenient as poisoning yourself for the price of your house at the hospital, mind you, but inconvenient nonetheless. ? One of the treatments involved Charcoal and Aloe gel on the head, another charcoal and flax meal over the eyes and sinuses and yet another charcoal and psyllium placed over the torso.
So, we did all three! The results were kind of bizarre, because after precisely ONE NIGHT the fever and nearly all symptoms were gone. But we did it for nine evenings in a row, and then went on a planned vacation, which we were able to take because of this blessing. Kimberly had advised however, that we stay on the treatment for six weeks. But we were unable to maintain the treatment protocol during the vacation, which was like 10 days, even though we brought all the stuff, and when we got back home, we did not resume the treatments, because all seemed to be very well with me. In fact, it seemed to me that I was more clear minded than before having this problem.
HOWEVER!! Slowly my head started to feel strange again. Someone asked me what I meant when I told them that. I tried to explain it in the only I could and that was to say that it felt like I had a tight stocking cap over my brain under my skull. Just kind of a 'tightness', that didn't feel right. I worried that perhaps it had encapsulated, or that some other unresolved residual effect was festering. This persisted and worsened until about tens day ago when I got the fever back, and a little bit of the balance issues. Naturally this was a concern, but now we knew the remedy, so no big deal! ? However.......We plan this time not to neglect Kimberly's good advice and plan on continuing in the more sustainable arrangement treating the head only through September, and I have every expectation that it won't return, or if it does, at least we will know how to deal with it. And we've ordered a heaping helping of some of the super high absorbency external charcoal , and also some of the super high absorbency internal coconut type. (Update: We have added the charcoal/flax poultice in a tea bag thin for the eyes/sinuses, which has helped immensely).
I've known about charcoal for many years and have used it for all kinds of things. I've gotten many others using it also for many different applications. In fact, I used to have a natural healthy online business, and know all sorts of amazing protocols for all kinds of ailments! But, I just didn't know about charcoal for a brain abscess and both Bonnie and I feel very grateful to Kimberly for selflessly taking time out for a perfect stranger just because she genuinely cared for others. We are the beneficiaries of her sincere charity, and expect the Lord's continued blessings on her and her husband's good work of care and kindness. heart-felt thank yous' from both of us!
Charles and Bonnie
PS....we both immediately noticed the superior quality of the shipment of charcoal we just got from you. The was really quite good, but this was stellar, if it were possible, it's a good deal blacker, much smoother and subjectively seems to 'draw' more.
