A Treatment for Respiratory Illnesses
Introduction
The Charred Oak Keg is a remedy for respiratory illnesses that has
been used at the A.R.E. Clinic for decades. It appears to
be helpful in resolving virtually any kind of abnormal condition in
the lungs. Its effectiveness probably stems from a stimulation of the
circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids, and by this mechanism it
would relieve bronchial spasms, clear the lungs of toxins and lesions,
enhance immunity to bacteria and viruses, and improve a diminished
respiratory capacity.
Illnesses that seem to be positively affected by this simple traditional
remedy include emphysema, scleroderma, lung cancer, valley fever,
tuberculosis, and many others. While you do not need a doctor's
approval to begin using this remedy, for best results you should
contact a doctor familiar with the Charred Oak Keg so that your therapy can be
better coordinated.
For more mild respiratory illnesses such as asthma and bronchitis,
the A.R.E. Clinic uses the Inspirol inhalant, which is used in the
same manner as the Charred Oak Keg.
Instructions for Use
Remove plug from the side of the keg. Place the keg in a bathtub or other
large container and completely immerse it in water for 48 hours. This
soaking will cause the wooden slats to swell and the seams to seal. Remove
it from the water, drain it, and let it dry overnight.
With the keg on its side, fill the keg halfway with two bottles (fifths) of either 80 or 100 proof
apple brandy. When not in use, keep the keg tightly corked and in a
relatively warm area - but, of course, away from conditions that might
ignite the alcohol. The warmth usually results in a greater concentration
of apple brandy vapor in the keg, and this makes the treatments more
effective.
To take a treatment, insert a plastic tube (1/4" to 1/2" diameter,
usually provided) into the keg, keeping the inserted end above the
level of the liquid. Place the other end of the tube in your mouth -
like a straw - and inhale the brandy fumes slowly and deeply into
your lungs. If you find this makes you cough, you must inhale more
slowly.
Hold the fumes (if you can) for a count of three, and on
future occasions try to extend the count to ten or even twenty. The
treatment works better the longer the fumes are held in the lungs.
Also, the length of time you can hold the fumes is
an indicator of the degree to which you have improved. A person with
no respiratory problem can inhale the brandy vapor deeply with no problem
and can hold it for as long as they can normally hold their breath.
Frequency of treatment: Take a total of four inhalations from the keg. That is considered to be
one treatment. The minimum number of treatments a person can take and
still see improvement appears to be four treatments a day, each treatment separated
by several hours. For a more severe illness, it is better to use the
keg more often, taking treatments as often as once every hour.
When the fumes become weaker, the keg can be "recharged." It normally
takes about six months for the brandy to lose its strength, but improper
corking can reduce this time.
To recharge the keg you must empty it and re-soak it - as given above -
and then refill it with new brandy. If you fail to re-soak the keg, you
will probably find that in a month or two your keg will begin leaking.
If you notice that your keg is leaking, pour the brandy from it into a
container, re-soak the keg, and put the brandy back in. If the keg
still leaks, it is time to get a new keg.
Most conditions are resolved before there is a need to buy a new keg.
People using the Charred Oak Keg will often benefit from using the Inspirol
remedy as well, as the keg cannot be transported in a vehicle (it counts
as an open container of alcohol), and it cannot be used in most work
environments. Inspirol, however, can be taken with a person wherever
they go, and it doesn't leave an odor of brandy upon the breath.
