how long can you take charcoal and how many are

you supposed to take? i took 2 and it did nothing

for herx, and i herx too strongly even from one

drop of samento! should you take the charcoal for

a few days before you start any herbs or abx to

clear out any toxins? and can you take charcoal

for months or are there side effects? thanks for

any help

Charcoal picks up toxins - mainly toxic metals, and to avoid that it takes your other minerals or good metals, you try to take charcoal away from food. We usually take it before bedtime - we have taken 10 at a time or two at a time, depending on toxic feeling.

It is not recommended to take it all the time. It is a good idea to alternate with other toxin binders, i.e. fiber, chitosan, products containing combinations of fibers, pectin helps a lot, chlorella (30 min before meals and at bedtime), ground flaxseed meal, unpeeled apples, potatoes with peel, some statins are made from potato, betasitosteral works well, zeolite, ----
alternate, alternate.

Unless you pick up the toxins that are being released, with die-off, they will recirculate and resettle elsewhere in the body, and instead of having a sore shoulder one day, you end up with a bad spot elsewhere a couple days later.

Take care.

i dont have toxic metals in my system so does

that mean charcoal wouldnt help me? or will it

bind to any toxins released by the bacteria? i

will get the pectin if you think that is better

for just any toxins and not heavy metals, thanks

for your help
