Re: Detoxig the body naturally?

[Guest guest]

Dan,

Cholestyramine was the best for mycotoxins. Charcoal came in second,

bentonite clay was third...

My concern with taking charcoal tablets would be -- what else is it

absorbing? Vitamins? Etc...whereas cholestyramine - you only have to

worry about fats within a certain amount of time after taking it...

carbon or charcoal to remove all sorts of impurities. Air filtration

devices use carbon or charcoal to remove odors caused by chemicals,

smoke, mold odor, etc. Aquariums use it too.

I'm not sure that charcoal absorbs vitamins. I don't have time to

do search now but it does not absorb minerals according to quick

search I did a filter system had a separate cartridge to

demineralize water separate from charcoal cartridge that it said was

there to filter out gases and odors, see reference in link. You

should be able to do search to determine if vitamins are

effected, " charcoal + vitamins " , etc. CSM may be better for toxics

but might as well not know for sure what the pitfalls and benefits

of charcoal are for sure.

Regarding charcoal binding to vitamins, etc, I found this. Not sure

of the reliability of source but says to avoid taking dairy products

with charcoal as dairy products tend to bind to charcoal (making it

ineffective. I look for other sources of info also as I am interested

in this topic too since right now I cannot get CSM powder.
