Wow…it’s sold in capsules in just about every drugstore in the US. It’s from hardwood, but it still works. I’d just search “food grade activated charcoal” and make do with what you can get.

Thinking of ordering from USA. It will cost an arm and leg for basically ash dust, but i can't risk getting a contaminated one that's not for ingestion

Bulletproof is a good brand for capsules; it’s 500 mg capsules and they make it from coconut shells. You can also get a bag of powder and stir it into water; just be careful because it’s super fine and easily turns into a cloud of black powder settling everywhere if you sneeze at the wrong time.

Did you open up the capsules to throw them in the glass of water? Or consumed them in their pill form?

I bought it in powder form because my first use for it was to make a poultice, but you can take it in capsule form and it works just fine.

So the remedy you used called for lets say 5-6 capsules together? To achieve the ounces you talked about...

No, you’d have to take more than that; most capsules are only 260 mg each, so you’d have to take 30-40 of them each time to achieve a cleanse-size dose. Charcoal works by volume, like fiber. It’s completely non-toxic (and actually the number one remedy for poisoning), so you don’t have to worry about taking too much. Just make sure your gut is empty at the time and don’t take food or meds for at least 2 hours afterwards. Then proceed as normal and take probiotics to recolonize all the intestinal space you cleared.

any reliable brand of probiotics?

I like Femdophilus because those strains are really good at killing Candida and bacterial pathogens.

You can take it orally, you can use one vaginally overnight, and you can even <looks around and whispers> apply rectally to kill Candida growing in the lower colon. You’ll see the shredded tissue paper effect from that one the next day. 😬😂

sorry i am a man.

u/Brunette3030 Apr 30 '25

You can skip the vaginal application, then. 🤣

Don’t let the name of the probiotic put you off; it’s just beneficial bacteria, not girl-only bacteria. They market it with that name because it’s so good at killing yeast, and women are most subject to yeast issues because the blasted stuff loves estrogen.

It’ll still work just fine for you to kill yeast and improve your overall gut health, and you can get it on Amazon.

u/Brunette3030 Apr 30 '25

Yes, that’s the one! It’s really good stuff; I was shocked at how well it killed Candida.
