Re: algin & <Activated Charcoal - TK>

Here's a site about activated charcoal.

http://www.emedicinehealth.com/articles/11575-2.asp

I haven't used it 'cause I'm scared it might 'adsorb' my drugs.

Note that this site says it doesn't bind 'as well' to metals and lots

of other things. I think the important thing is it doesn't get

'absorbed' so whatever it is doing is only in the GI tract.

It must be very useful in the case of acute poisoning.

Thanks for the site!

What it seemed to say is that charcoal does not bind " as well " to

metals, but that would suggest that it does indeed bind to a degree,

which is most likely what I was experiencing, as it helped

suibatntially but not completely.

I think that you can use charcoal as long as you don't take it too

close to medications - at least that is what I remember reading in the

past.

TK--- Let me word it a different way. Oral ingestion of charcoal and

clay do not chelate circulating Hg, they only help bind to toxins in

the gi tract.

On the last day of my chelating I whipped together 1/2 deciliter each

of lime and olive oil and drank on an kindof empty stomach. That got

the bile going. To my astonishement my ES (electrosensitivity)

trippled (temporarily) after this. (I believe ES is caused by mercury)

This is interesting because I thought the HG would be pretty locked in

by the chelators. Either it isnt or other stuff is affecting the

degree of ES too. Now I'm thinking along the lines that maybe one

should help the chelators by eating some alginate and charcoal and

maybe boil 3-4 table spoons of linseeds in water and drink afterwards.

That would speed up the bowelmovement and counteract the constipating

effect of the charcoal.

Ingrid, how did/would you take the charcoal/alginate?
