Re: Charcoal and die off

[Guest guest]

This is what I do:

Boil some water. Empty 1 capsule of charcoal into a thick glass jar (like a

mason jar). When the water comes to a boil, slowly pour it over the charcoal.

The charcoal will settle to the bottom. When it's cool enough, drink it. You can

use the charcoal 2 times. Do no ingest the charcoal that settles to the bottom.

Jodi actually gave me those instructions a long time ago from her natural doctor

who said that charcoal can be harsh on healing intestines. It's worked great for

me. I haven't needed it in a while but I'm sure the next time I have die off

I'll just take the capsules since my intestines have done so much healing and

see how that works.

I'm so glad the search function is working now. I finally found the original

post from Jodi on charcoal.

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/BTVC-SCD/message/8495

Open 2 capsules into cup (do a few cups like 4 cups at one time)

Boil some water pore over charcoal. Be careful as the stuff poofs up and can get

you and everything dirty (don't do it in pretty clothes)

let it sit (at least an hour) and wait to see that the charcoal grains

go to the bottom and the water just stays dyed like a grey'ish color

and isn't black- meaning you can see through it. and drink. don't drink the mud

at the end. I actually reuse the charcoal one more time (same directions above)

The reason to do it this way is that the activated charcoal grains can

actually have a reverse effect and upset the mucosal lining. My herbalist

explained this to me. One time when I wasn't patient enough

I did drink it without letting it settle and it is in fact upsetting.

I am sure people will have different ways to take it. This really

works for me.

I make a few cups at a time and leave on counter and that way I have

it ready to drink whenever I need it.
