Taking Activated Charcoal and taking Probiotics

Taking Activated Charcoal and taking Probiotics….. Probiotics Question: Does activated charcoal absorb the good bacteria in your intestines? We take daily probiotics and are wondering if when we take AC if it is flushing out the good bacteria as well or if we need to double up on our probiotics when taking AC.  Thank you, Alisha Answer: Hello Alisha Thank you for contacting us.

Q and A: Can Activated Charcoal help or exacerbate Hypoglycemic symptoms

Treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) with Activated Charcoal (Real Story)

Testimonial on using Activated Charcoal for IBS (Irritable Bowel syndrome) My elderly mom (81 years) was struggling from IBS (Irritable Bowel syndrome) caused by chronic medication side effects. She had a scope and a scan – Specialists and her GP could not help her acute pain and suffering. After almost 8 months as a last resort, we thought what about trying Activated Charcoal.

Her bowel movements normalised and for the first time she is feeling […]

Q & A: Incorporating using Charcoal with Supplements

Question: Hi I have recently had surgery. A lot of my issues were taken care of with the surgery. However, I was also diagnosed with interstitial cystitis. My body is used to being inflamed. I’m taking a lot of supplements to help repair my insides. I enjoy the results I get from charcoal, but have a hard time being able to fit it in so it doesn’t negate my other supplements. I was wondering if the patch or soap may be easier to incorporate? Thanks Ronna Answer: Hi Ronna The poultices or the patches would be very beneficial and you might be surprised how quickly your surgical wound will heal […]
