Activated charcoal -- on round?

August 13, 2010

Hi Liz and others,

I've tried activated charcoal on myself (2 capsules, per bottle's

instructions) and it didn't help with my gassiness. How many to take

for a person who weighs 135 lbs?

Ds also suffers with gas on chelation round and following days. I know

that it must be taken 2 hours away from any supplements or chelating

agents...how do I do this, when I'm dosing ALA and DMSA every 3 hours?

Any other advice?

TIA,

Acivated Charcoal is great for taking care of that gas, by the way.

> Our 5 year old was in preschool three days a week for two years and did great,

but I was able to do a lot of dosing around his hours, including chelating right

through Monday around school. Now this year, he will be starting K five days a

week, full time....such a different animal for me! His preschool owner/teacher

was great with my restrictions and I felt comfortable enough sharing our biomed

journey with her, including chelation. She noticed even the slightest nuances in

his behavior and was right on par with me. Now, with a new school and people, I

am leery of who I can trust. Although, the principal knows us somewhat and knows

a little of what we do, not all of it though. It happens to be a green charter

school that my husband is a founding member of and helped get off the ground.

> How much do you guys share with the teachers, school nurse and others? I know

I will have to share the things that need restriction, like diet, not using play

doh and hand sanitizers unless I provide them, and the like - plus they will

know he takes natural antimicrobials, because he will need to be dosed once or

twice while at school (they already assured me that isn't a problem)...but how

much else should I tell them? Mondays are going to be rough, since he will be

transitioning to post round with some yeast overgrowth symptoms and mercury

redistribution. He gets bloating, lethargic and a little emotional. He isn't

labeled as being on the spectrum, he is very bright and very social, but has

major GI issues, yeast and bacteria which can all equate to behavior changes,

mood swings, lowered frustration threshold, and gassiness, lol.
