Answers:
Activated Charcoal
------------------
Activated charcoal is reknowned for its ability to adsorb
toxins in the GI Tract. It is sometimes used a poison
centers for this ability. Here is how it works.

i. The charcoal adsorbs unabsorbed poison still present
in the gut.

ii. The charcoal adsorbs chemicals that are secreted in
bile, thereby preventing their enterohepatic
recirculation.

iii. The charcoal binds any drug that diffuses from the
circulation into the gut lumen.

(NOTE: Adsorbtion is *not* the same as absorption.
Adsorption is the process by which a solid
attracts and concentrates upon its surface,
in a thin layer, molecules of a gas, liquid or
dissolved substance by adhesion.)

You can purchase activated charcoal from your local
natural food store.

Other Answers:
Charcoal can be use orally for the absorption of ingested toxic substances, but little else. The good part is that it can't hurt you. It cannot be digested, therefor will pass right through your body.

nope... but i wouldn't mind know... sounds intriguing...

The charcoal that your dad meant would be easily available at pharmacy as over the counter drug. In another words, there is no need for the pharmacist or doctor prescription to obtain this drug. It is activated charcoal and commercially available.

Activated charcoal is actually an adsorbent. Usually, it is indicated for diarhoea, food poisoning(very commonly used). Reason being charcoal as an adsorbent is able to adsorb the toxic that caused diarhea or food poisoning.

Furthermore, it is not absorb in the body thus not much of side effectss

Above answers are correct, but failed to address one thing: the misconception in your question that charcoal "heals diseases".
IT DOES NOT HEAL DISEASES. As noted, it works well for removing poisons from the gi tract. That's about the extent of it. Very few diseases will be affected in the least by charcoal.
