Guest guest Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 Question...what type of charcoal are you giving to help chealate with ALA and how do you give it? Since we can no longer use DMSA because of rash we might consider this to go along with ALA. Thanks, Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think charcoal is able to remove mercury but only in the digestive tract, where it would come into contact with it. I don't think it gets into the bloodstream or affects the rest of the body. Someone can correct me please if I am wrong. I just sent a note about where I buy charcoal from. Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2001 Report Share Posted June 24, 2001 Moria, Charcoal likely only removes some mercury from digestive tract, but that can be useful. I only use it for a couple of days during amalgam replacement. It also removes essential minerals, so you have to do a lot of supplementation if you use it.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 Bernie, I don't know of anything I said that you are responding to...... It sounds like you think I said activated charcoal is not useful, which I definatly did not. I agree that activated charcoal is useful. My comment was that I speculate that it is limited as a SYSTEMIC detox. As I have already reported, I took about a tablespoon of activated charcoal a day for about a month following my last amalgam replacement. Tom Harrelson, whose website I posted a couple of days ago, is convinced that activated charcoal does *not* deplete nutrients from the body. I have not read his evidence of citations regarding this, but I'm sure he'd be glad to discuss it if you are interested. best, :] Moria At 11:20 PM 6/23/2001 -0400, you wrote: >Moria, > Charcoal likely only removes some mercury from digestive tract, >but that can be useful.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2002 Report Share Posted February 5, 2002 Dear Harper and Lyn, I just finished an EMT class and we give activated charcoal (charcoal in a suspension) for certain drug overdoses and poisonings. The charcoal attaches itself to certain meds and carries them through the system without them being absorbed. I would be very careful taking charcoal with meds. If in doubt, I would recommend calling the Poison Control in your area and asking them. They are a very good source of drug interactions, etc. Cheryl & Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 Hi Cheryl, I don't have anything informative to write about your post, but I chuckled when I read about calling the poison control center in your area for drug interactions. My sis lives in Tenn. and I live in WA. State. I call her every once in awhile at the poison control center where she works about drug interactions when I am having difficulty finding what I need. I get personalized help and get to talk to my sister at the same time. I know she has to count it as a personal call, so I don't do it often. You are right tho, it is an excellent way to get the drug interactions.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 I don't know about the Nystantin but the charcoal will soak up enzymes because they are organic too. I would think giving it separately from the enzymes by at least one hour and a half would be good. Die off can last a few days up to three weeks (from the Yeast Connection and the Yeast ....sorry I forgot). But if you treat yeast too slowly and not aggressively, it will set up a lower level of growth and the die-off will continue for awhile. Die-off can also happen if you have a yeast problem and then just sudden cut way back on your sugar intake (fun facts from people who need to get out and go to the mall). .

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 Charcoal Charcoal will absorb toxins out of the bowel pockets but it is also constipating so should be taken with a good herbal laxative like Dr. Schulze's Intestinal Formula I and plenty of water.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 Toxins attach themselves to Activated Charcoal and pass from the system. They have to come in contact with the toxin. Activated Charcoal is even used by hospitals. Very good to take immediatedly if you suspect food poisoning. It is part of a bowel cleansing and building supplement that I have used. L.

Please write me Back, no one over has! **************** I'm so sorry no one answered your posts. Thanks for giving us another try. I've heard both good and negative things about using charcoal. Good is that yes it will pull toxins, but be sensitive to what your body tells you and be cautious about dose and duration. I've heard that it can pull nutrients out too, if too much is used or it's used too long. You might want to ask some of the others about when to take your supplements, if you are taking any, so that you don't just flush them down the toidy with the charcoal.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 I'm sorry no one has written back before. I bet you get answers this time. I am not very sure that charcoal is what you want on it's own. The best thing to do is change of diet, good probiotics, herbs to kill parasites, cleansing herbs for bowels, bowel flushing and liver gallbladder cleansing through diet, herbs and flushings. These things are discussed on this list and there is a separate list for liver gallbladder health, which is important in conjunction with a good bowel maintenance routine. Charcoal may be part of a formula, but just by itself I doubt would only be a small band aid.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 > Is charcoal safe to give a 2.9 year old that has constipation problems? I sent you a file on activated charcoal from the FILES section which includes dosing. I do not know if constipation affects it or not. I would suggest giving magnesium for the constipation. A soluble kind. I use the epsom salts or magnesium citrate in a capsule and give my 8 year old a couple each day which keeps him un-constipated. .

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 > Is charcoal safe to give a 2.9 year old that has constipation problems? > We're killing yeast and want to use charcoal to get rid of the toxins. Hi Diane, Both me and my son (3 1/2) are using charcoal sometimes. It is very helpful. It never created problems. My son tends to get constipated sometimes, but not lately, since we started chelation and enzymes and vitamins/supplements. So charcoal never created problems for him either. My sister on the other hand tried it and told me that she got constipated. But she also has some other problems, so it may not have been because of the charcoal itself. I actually had the feeling charcoal is helping with this problem. So sorry... I can't give you a clear answer... just my experience... Hope it helps anyway... I guess you need to try it and see what's happening... Valentina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it is kinda chalky texture, and doesn't mix well into water. But mess around mixing it into things that you like to eat and see what you think. Oh, and of course it is also black.

He does it since 2.5 . He also swallows them if I put them in a spoon of rice or oatmeal.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 > I've also learned some other neat things. Bamboo charcoal (ash) is apparently even more powerful as a healer. Activated charcoal is absolutely phenomenal for detoxification as well as for all kinds of different healing applications. It's extremely effective and can be used both internally as well as externally. <<<<< There's a guy in the US that uses this stuff as a 1 time shot to heal the body. Apparently most people only need 1 visit with this guy.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 People who have racing pigeons (some worth $100's thousands of dollars each) routinely give activated charcoal to their birds if they get sick or diseased. I had a pigeon that lived over 17 years with liver cancer. I kept him alive with the liver cancer for three years by giving him charcoal which he ate on his own free will liberally in chunks, along with inexpensive immune essentials )has muchrooms) from Swansons. If you are vitamin or mineral deficient you HAVE to be careful of charcoal because it does take it from your body along with the toxins. I have had people argue this point with me ferociously, but the facts are the facts from experience. I took it once when I was very deficient and got so weak and ill I havn't been brave enough to try again since. Also the pigeon magazines will tell you if you put your bird on charcoal you also have to load them up with vitamins and minerals. These pigeon people in Europe have done this for centuries and they give their birds EXPENSIVE alternative meds. and things that you and I can scarcely afford. It is interesting to me how a sick pigeon will eat tons of chacoal on their own if you just give them a dish of the charcoal chunks. Somehow they know it takes out the poison and even kills fungus and bad bacteria to a degree. ESSENTIAL for removing toxins when killing cancer cells and will improve survival rate by 50%. Just thought I'd pass along that little tid bit. Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
