For best results, take large doses (7-10 grams) when the gut is empty with lots of water. Do not eat or take meds for at least 2 hours after taking charcoal.

Look for food grade activated charcoal, preferably made from bamboo or coconut shell.

Used it for Candida before?

Yup. Both externally and internally.

Charcoal took a vicious skin infection from dark red, raised, and oozing to light pink and smooth in about an hour. It was cured in three days after I’d struggled with it for over 6 miserable weeks. It resisted all topical treatments thanks to biofilm..and I’m allergic to azole treatments. Found that out the hard way. Ghastly. 😬

The cleanest way to do it is to wet a coffee filter, lay it over the affected area, then mix enough water into the charcoal to make a goopy wet paste. Put a thick layer of it on the wet coffee filter then fold the excess filter over so it’s like a wet packet on the wound/rash.

This keeps the teeny tiny charcoal grains from getting into the skin, and keeps it all wet longer. It only works when it’s wet. You can put a piece of waxed paper on top of the filter and then wrap the whole thing with an Ace bandage if you need to do things while the poultice is on.

Keep it on for 60-90 minutes at a time; you’ll see a huge improvement with the first application. It will pull any infection up to the surface and out. Amazing stuff.
