I just started charcoal this to improve my detoxing. I have natures way 280mg. Been taking one hour after a-lipoc acid/milk thistle. I do all this 2x day.

Dr did not mention charcoal. Is this enough 280mg x 2 day?

You need to leave more room between the time that you take anything you wish your body to absorb and the charcoal. The general consensus is 2 hours. So 2 hours after you take the ALA & milk thistle, take the activated charcoal and then wait another 2 hours before you take, eat or drink anything that is necessary for you to absorb (drinking lots of water during that time is necessary though of course).

If you take the charcoal too close to the time you take other things, the charcoal will bind to it as well as the toxins, so you won't get the benefit of what you take and the charcoal won't remove as many toxins as well.

Each person is different on the amount needed. I started off with one tab a day, went to 2 a day and held there for a while. Now I'm down to one every few days, depending on how I feel. If I do anything to increase the amount of toxins I have ( I can feel it now), then I'm careful to increase my detoxing as well, including taking the activated charcoal.

It will be interesting to see what other's experience have been!

Its hard to separate thyroid med, from magnessium ,and now charcoal. I can take my throid med sublingualy so its not in the stomack.

No food for 4 hrs? I can only do 3. Hope it still works.

I dont have feel of what built up toxins feel like.

Probiotics, though I for got something. I see there is a need for more than 24hrs in a day now.

630 AM thyroid med sublingualy
730 AM probiotic AM snack, colostrum and a row boat load of supps
9:45 AM Magnesium
12 lunch Alpha- ABX lipoic acid, milk thisltle, a tow boat load of other supps
2 PM Charcoal
4 PM thyroid med sublingual
5 PM snack
6:30 PM dinner probiotic and a double wide barge full of other supplements
8:30 PM ABX
10:30 Magnesium, a small wheel barrow of supplements to sleep, then bed, maybe even sleep

only time for charcoal once I guess

good grief,

the end

It's crazy, huh?

I'm going to get me some charcoal too - and I think I will only take it when I stop the abx every so often for a few days.
I just don't know how else I would fit it in. Some people take it before bed, but I take my probiotics then.

I figure taking it a couple of days every week to ten days is better than nothing - I guess.

When I was waking every night, that's when I would take my charcoal - but lately I've been sleeping through the night!! WOO HOOO!!!turn LOL!

But now I don't know when I'll be able to get my charcoal in either!! The problem with getting more than 24 hours in a day is that those hours would fill up as well!! LOL!!
