Anyone taking activated charcoal on the regular? I purchased some today and figured i'd add it to my detox protocol. I understand I should take it outside of +/- 2 hours before/after abs, vitamins, minerals etc.. How many times per day are you taking the charcoal and how many days a week?

Thanks!

You are correct on the timing. I only take it when I feel a herx coming on, which has been maybe a couple of times a month. And then I try to take them before bed.

I don't personally want to take it on a regular basis (daily) because I have Hypertensive and Congestive heart failure meds I need to keep in me as long as possible.

Lymepilot,

I think it is one of the BEST detoxers but I never take it half the time because I have to do it in the middle of the night. I eat every 2-3 hours so it just doesn't work for me during the day. I wake up, take 1-2, drink water, use restroom -but then I'm awake for at least an hour so it doesn't always work for me.

My son take it right before bed.

It is best during herxes, probably the most effective relief treatment ive taken.

Taken regularily can hamper intestinal absorption of certain nutrients. Not sure if it's a bright idea. On the other hand i remember Traveler mentioned taking it regularily. So....

I take it about 3 times a week.

It never has an effect on me - good or bad

AC has been the only thing that has helped me on a regular basis. I take 2 capsules once a day.
