One thing about charcoal I would like to add is that it will also absorb good things , like colloidal silver, or vitamins and minerals.....so you don't want to take it with these supplements. It does work wonders to alleviate the detox reactions, also for any food poisoning, or a " sick stomach " . God Bless, Hi and others! The reason, that Activated Charcoal ADSORBS (NOT absorbs, there is a difference) Colloidal Silver is that the Colloidal Silver is INORGANIC. And that is also why, it can remain so well inside of an Activated Charcoal Water Filter (see previous post)! Activated Charcoal also adsorbs other inorganic minerals, synthetic vitamins, and petroleum-based drugs, plus other substances (see http://members.tripod.com/~healingtools/char2.html ) Tom/Ps. 150:6!

(Don ) Oxylist <oxyplusonelist> Reply-to: oxyplusonelist Subject: Activated Charcoal From: D@... (Don ) Can any list member suggest the correct number of capsules to be taken at any one time and the maximum number of doses in a 24 hour period. My local pharmacist sell 500 caps for A$24.00 (approx US$15). I intend to try these out to cleanse my body after 56 years of abuse. Regards Don ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don, Hi! I'm going to repeat my previous post in order to answer your question. After having had many years of experience (20+) with Acti- vated Charcoal, I highly recommend putting 1 tsp. of the POWDER in an 8 oz. glass of water (preferably pure), rather than taking capsules. WHY? Because it takes a lot of capsules to equal 1 tsp. and, more importantly, the capsules may NOT dissolve and, even more IMPORTANTLY, may NOT get absorbed, especially when the intes- tines are heavily loaded down with lots of MUCUS! Of course, as I've said before, if capsules are all that you have and/or can get and especially if it's an EMERGENCY, then OPEN them up the capsules and use the POWDER! Hope this info helps you to make a wiser decision! Tom P.S. If you're concerned with the taste, the feel and/or the black color on your teeth and/or your tongue (it comes OFF anyhow), then you could use a STRAW!

Just try a little common sense, food goes to the stomach to be digested where it later passes through the small intestine, for assimilation into the blood stream, later, making it's way on to the colon where it continues to feed into the body's system via blood and fluids. Now, the blood and fluids are picking up from our intestines the things that it needs as it returns it brings to it waste. The time that it takes for blood to travel just once through our entire body is almost in an instant. In fact, blood begins picking things up as soon as it enters the mouth via capillaries. Is this not the same blood that shortly visits the rest of the body? And what do you suppose happens to activated charcoal once it has entered the stomach? Maybe it just vanishes, but I believe that it continues through the rest of the system in the same manner that food does.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 1999 Report Share Posted January 12, 1999 Please don't take my word for it. Any textbook on chemistry, the surface action of solids, any poison control manual, etc. will document the action of activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is not absorbed in the body. It passes through the body unchanged. Because of the surface properties of the charcoal, it works best if there is a maximum of surface area to absorb and hold the toxin. That's why you swallow granules of it and not one big lump. It does not dissolve or break down. Once the toxin has left the digestive system and entered into the circulatory system activated charcoal can do no good. The activated charcoal (and notice that I mention Activated...) has a surface quality that will attract and bind certain substances that come into contact with it. After binding these, it then is excreted. Activated charcoal also will NOT act universally on all toxins - only certain ones. That's why the remedy of choice for certain poisons may be other approaches such as syrup of ipecac or gastric lavage. For other toxins, an IV may be the action of choice if it has entered the circulatory system.. I would encourage you to consult any chemsitry book or other textbook to check your facts. The activity and pharmacology of activated charcoal is well known. It is effective ONLY when taken shortly after ingestion, ONLY on certain substances and does NOT absorb out of the circulatory system Regardless of what you want to believe, activated charcoals activity has been known for centuries. . Please take the time to research what activated charcoals role is in treatin poisons and you'll get a much better feel for it. > ---------- > From: Jplane1@...[sMTP:Jplane1@...] > Reply cures for canceregroups > Sent: Monday, January 11, 1999 6:46 PM > cures for canceregroups > Subject: Re: Activated Charcoal > > In a message dated 1/11/99 4:36:20 PM Eastern Standard Time, > .Copits@... writes: > > << True it does - but only if it's in physical contact with the toxin - > i.e. > in > the stomach.

Well, the folks who sell activated charcoal seem to disagree with the above... :-) I've read that the charcoal only attracts particles with a certain type of charge -- a charge associated with toxins and things bad for you. Nutrients and things good for you are repelled by the charcoal, so they don't stick. Also, I've read about people who have taken a lot of activated charcoal daily for years, and reported no bad effects. In my limited testing of activated charcoal (two different brands), I've found that my reaction doesn't appear to be consistent with the claims that it just stays in the gut and absorbs toxins. My reaction includes pains in my head and feet, increased heartrate and dehydration. I find that I need to limit my usage of charcoal to less than one capsule per day to avoid adverse effects, even though the label says to take up to 12 capsules a day!

My doctor in Toronto said that it isn't good to use, except for certain cases of poisoning for a short time, because anything burnt is carcinogenic. I don't think you would need it because healthy foods go a long ways toward detoxifying you without the need anything extra, i.e. lemons, greens, good saturated fats, sea salt, etc., etc. - in fact the entire diet and other recommendations work together to detoxify. Liquid chlorophyll would be much better to take if you feel you need something more to help you detoxify, and also epsom salt or food grade hydrogen peroxide baths.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Hi Shivani, My dentist gave me charcoal during my first mercury amalgam removals (2 fillings). He didn't realize I was also taking cilantro, green algae, and a supplement called Mercury Detox, at my naturopath's recommendation. I'm speculating that the charcoal may have cancelled out the supplements; in any case I had a strong headache that night and for the next day. After that, my dentist realized I was taking the other supplements and decided I didn't need to take the charcoal. For my next two sessions (five fillings) I skipped the charcoal and did much better: no headaches. ~Cara > > >     Someone suggested activated charcoal for clearing mercury.  Something > to remember when using actiated charcoal is that it has such tremendous > absorption power that it also sucks up a lot of your nutrients if it is in your > digestive system at the same time as your food. >     Regards,    >     Shivani > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
