Charcoal assisting with kidney load
Hubby was finally ready to receive my help after getting up 4-5 times a night to urinate, he has one kidney after removal for cancer. Found research on dialysis requiring patients but refused dialysis treated instead with 2 tablespoons daily of activated charcoal. It's been about two weeks of one tablespoon each morning and each night, he pulled me aside to confess that he didn't bother for one day, so missed two doses, and that night he was again up 4 times. I think this one's a keeper. The charcoal lol.
