I just got some and want to try it out. Really have to work out this detox thing. I'm trying to be brave hahaha.

It says 3 or 4 hours before and after meals, but I never go that long without eating! How bad is it to take it like 1 or 2 hours away? What happens if you take it right after eating?

Does it make you sick? Alot of the detoxing things make me really sick and I don't feel better at all. I wonder if it's even a good idea for me to try today.....

I tried a couple caps of activated charcoal last night before bed. I was feeling really awful yesterday. I've felt "toxic" for the past few weeks. I woke up this morning feeling significantly better. Not great but, definitely better.

If activated charcoal takes a bit of the load off of my MTHFR liver, then I'm all for it.

I get best results from AC by taking it a full 2hr after, and 2 hr before, any other meds. And I usually don't eat during those 4 hrs and only take plain water. I take AC as a rescue med, only occasionally, and repeat the dose (4 caps) after 4 hrs if I don't start feeling better.

If you don't have any AC handy, eat a couple slices of badly burnt toast. Works great.

I took 2 capsules in the middle of the day. I'll take 2 or 3 more before bed. I don't notice any difference from this afternoon. I wonder how long before it starts working?

I take my binders two hours after dinner. With dinner, I also consume the last of my supplements for the day.

With taking it 2 hours after dinner, it ensures dinner and supps are out of the way. Then, shortly there after I go to bed and fast through the night, so I don't have to worry about consuming anything afterwards.

I tried D. Earth for a few weeks and wasn't sure it was doing anything. I then switched to charcoal several days ago-4 caps per my LLMD- and not sure if it is a coincidence or not, but the last few days I have felt much better, particularly with energy and mood. Physical pain is still there.
