Detoxing Charcoal

Diarrhoea doesn’t stop. It has been too long, on and off since mid June. No pain and my appetite is not affected. However, rather worried, I called in sick this morning and went to Dr. Goh’s clinic. One of the medicines he gave me is “ultracarbon charcoal,” which absorbs toxins in the intestine. Should I get “binchotan (備長炭)”??

July in the lunar calendar started today. Ghost month! People light candles and burn fake money bills, and tonight I found “stir fried green vegetable,” cakes and etc. on plates on the roadside. A feast period for stray cats
