Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Thanks for the suggestion! I also recently read at one site that it can be mixed with soda so I was thinking about the sparkling juice idea. You'd suggested that for the mag citrate a while back & it worked for my son for some time. Of course, because I'm going after the yeast, I'd love to get the supp's in without juice or sugar (e.g., applesauce), but I don't think that's possible!?!?! I think the key with the charcoal is going to be not looking at it while drinking it....?? It doesn't seem to taste like anything but it makes it look like sludge! Also - thanks for the link to the colon cleanse site - I had come across the Okra enzyme part of that site once, didn't bookmark it and couldn't find it again. I thought about trying the Okra Pepsin E3 product he mentioned, but after reading the other ingredients (bovine orchic extract) I thought twice about it. I'm so glad you posted that link because I thought he suggested other 'mucus dissolvers' beside the Okra enzyme & I have been trying to find that page again and see what others he recommended!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Hi - Where do you buy your activated charcoal? Is there anything to watch for - is it all natural and/or organic or do some companies add stuff to it? Will this help with yeast? Thanks a ton!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Activated charcoal helps with die off -- the toxins that are released when yeast dies. Don't use too often -- it can be constipating. It can also make the stools look pretty dark. A good brand is Nature's Way (green lid). it's at most HFS and online. And for once -- a product that's cheap! > > Hi - Where do you buy your activated charcoal?

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Ours is made by " MMS Pro " . The doctor had it at her office. As far as I know, the activated charcoal doesn't help control the yeast, it helps absorb the toxins that the yeast release as they die. Some people have pretty bad reaction to the toxins ( " die off " reaction) I actually am thinking about using chlorella instead. I know there has been discussion here about the benefits of chlorella before - I just finally got around to reading more about it and am very interested. hth > > Hi - Where do you buy your activated charcoal?

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I would use Kirkman's or a good name brand. www.iherb.com is where a get lots of supplements due to the price and quality. NOW brand is good and very reasonable. Currently I am using "Nature's Way" Brand. Kathy activated charcoal Hi - Where do you buy your activated charcoal?
