After our after-hours call to the local vet, we met up at his clinic, and within an hour he had her sedated, shaved, and stitched back together, and we were on our way home. Evidently she had gotten tangled in a barbed wire fence and, in her struggle to get free, ripped the side of her chest badly. Next thing I knew blood was flowing everywhere. After scolding her, I carried her down to the laundry sink to wash her off.
One evening, after dark, she came home matted in mud - no worse for wear it seemed. Within the hour, she began to recover and by the next day, seemed to be ready for more trouble. But when she began to pass bloody stools we immediately gave a large dose of VetDtox™, orally as a thick slurry. We were at a loss to know what was going on. She was first lethargic, then decidedly sick. One evening, Annie arrived home from her afternoon of adventures and it was soon apparent she was not well. The drainage ditches were barren of life. The fields were heavily sprayed with herbicides. Troubleįor a time, we lived in an area of intensive chemically driven agribusiness.

But don’t you try this at home! Obviously these men did not carelessly endanger their lives. In a dangerous but dramatic way, he had avoided the sure consequences of ingesting the arsenic and demonstrated charcoal’s phenomenal ability to hold poisons from being absorbed by the body. Again, there was no nausea, no vomiting, no diarrhea, no excruciating cramping, no severe burning in the mouth and throat, no collapse, no death. In 1813, French chemist Michel Bertrand swallowed 5 grams of arsenic trioxide (150 times the amount that would have killed most people) mixed with charcoal. There were no uncontrolled convulsions, no ill effects at all! Why? Because he had combined 15 grams of the poison (10 times the lethal dose) with an equal amount of charcoal. In 1831, in front of a large group of his peers at the French Academy of Medicine, French pharmacist Pierre Touéry reportedly drank a glass of deadly strychnine and survived to publish his story. I said her middle name was, “Trouble.” Nevertheless, she lived to a decent old age, and from one trouble to the next she would get activated charcoal in one form or another.
