PRIOR TO TAKING CARBON April 2016
With my increasing age as well as a career in massage therapy my hands and my wrists were beginning to shows signs of arthritis that was causing pain. In conjunction with my hands, I was experiencing cervical inflammation that caused tingling as well as numbness in the right hand.
AFTER STARTING CARBON ( 1 tsp 1x/DAY)- After a couple of days of taking the CARBON I noticed a decrease in finger joint pain as well as in my wrists. My cervical inflammation had a definite decrease in pressure, so there was less tingling and numbness.
AFTER TAKING CARBON ( 1 tsp 2x/DAY)
-When I took the CARBON twice a day, my finger joints were much more improved, with no wrist pain and no numbness or tingling at all in my right hand.
Whenever I forget to take the CARBON completely, I would wake up with pain in my left wrist. As soon as I take the CARBON, the pain goes away.
APRIL 9, 2016 (Follow-up)
On this day I tore the annulus of L3 L4 disc in my spine. It caused excruciating pain and it was recommended by 2 different doctors that I get surgery.
I refused the surgery and insisted on steroid shots. I also decided to take the supplement, Collagen Type II with the CARBON once a day. I continued to improve slowly, but both doctors were surprised that I improved at all. They don’t know how I healed at all without the surgery.
ISSUES THAT ARISE
–MOSQUITO BITES A dab of CARBON directly on the bite, eliminated the itch immediately.
–HERPES OUTBREAK A dab of CARBON on the onset of an outbreak
1-2x/day eliminated a full outbreak and is completely gone in 2-3 days, which would normally last for up to 2 weeks.
–RASHES. A dab of CARBON eases the itch as well as a spoonful orally.

An update on the annulus tear from 2016.
After having taken the supplement Collagen type II in combination with the carbon for six months and then carbon alone till current day, there is no discomfort on any level. My orthopedic surgeon as well as my chiropractor is amazed that I healed without any remaining radicular pain, or discomfort of any kind.
Not only had the annulus torn on L3-L4, but fluid filled L4 foramen, completely strangling the nerves occupying that foramen. Not only was there excruciating pain, but the surgeon feared permanent nerve damage without surgery.
I can still exercise and work as a massage therapist without any limitations!

My experience with Grafex 3-2-20
I started taking grafex in coconut oil approximately 5-6 years ago in 2014, primarily for my hands and wrists, due to my career as a massage therapist.
I found it difficult doing the structural manipulation modalities that I perform as a therapist, without creating pain in my finger joints as well as in my wrists.
Signs of arthritis was evident and the need for anti inflammatories was necessary, which I took in the middle of my day and before bed.
I was introduced to the grafex in coconut oil to see if it helped with the inflammation in my hands.
I started using it twice a day, 1 teaspoon in the morning and again as soon as I finished my working day. I stopped the anti inflammatories as soon as I started the grafex. After a couple of days I did notice an improvement. I had much less discomfort in my hands and wrists allowing me to see more clients. After a week, the discomfort was non existent.
In April 2018, I was completely out of my grafex in coconut oil and my practice had become very busy, since I specialize in pain relief! I had probably gone a week without the grafex in oil and I had a tremendous amount of discomfort in my hands and wrists. At this time, grafex in capsules were available! I acquired a bottle and took 1 immediately. The pain relief was almost immediate!!
Since that time I remained on the capsules. One capsule in the morning and another when my workday is done, 5-6PM. I did realize that if I took a capsule later than 7 PM, that I had difficulty sleeping. I had way too much energy.
On my days off I only take one capsule in the morning, I didn’t need a second capsule depending on weekend projects.
In 2020, almost 2 years on the capsules, as my practice continued to grow, I discovered something else. One day I ran out of my capsules, and since my husband prefers using the grafex in coconut oil over capsules, I used his product until I got more capsules. I took a teaspoon in the morning and again at the end of my work day. I found myself needing to take more without complete relief of joint pain. I even took a third teaspoon right before bed if my hands were throbbing. I had no difficulty in sleeping as opposed to the capsules which gave me an increase in energy.
It was also evident that I had less energy during my workday using the grafex in coconut oil than the grafex capsules.
My husband has tried both, the grafex in capsules and in the oil. He finds the grafex in oil more efficient for his needs and, the grafex capsule are much more efficient for mine rather than the grafex in coconut oil. I feel a noticeable difference in my hands and wrists using the capsules vs. the oil, as well as feeling more energy. My days feel more productive while using the capsules.
