Detoxification
Activated Charcoal and Clay mixture
This information is for educational purposes. It is not intended for diagnose or treat any health condition. Consult your qualified health practitioner if you have any questions.
Note: Drink plenty of water with this detox plan.
Why:
This is one of the most simple and effective health remedies you can do - a simple, core, and primary detoxification process. There are many forms of detoxification. This process focuses on drawing toxins out of the body through the intestines. Other processes involve actively shaking loose embedded toxins from tissue deep inside muscles and organs in the body, then drawing them out through the bowels and bladder.
For example, if you do not empty the garbage can in your kitchen, what happens? Where does the new garbage go? It builds up, sits on the counter, on the floor, on the table. Only after you empty your garbage can, can you throw out the ‘newer’ garbage.
The same with your body. if your eliminate channel is blocked by old waste, then all the new waste builds up – for years!! This is a co-factor to stress and illness in your body.
Stress and illness can disrupt the metabolism and elimination of the body .This causes waste material, free radicals, to accumulate in the body. This situation can increase acidity in the body. This causes a cascade of increased health condition. All because the elimination process was not adequate.
This mixture soaks up toxins from the intestinal tract. This supports elimination, creating an environment for your body to function well.
Eating plenty of fresh vegetables, fruit and good water help the cleansing process, but may not be enough for some people.
Estimated cost: $30 to $60 for two to three month supply

Contraindications / Precautions / Warnings
When taken in high doses, activated charcoal effectively binds with vitamins, hormones, drugs, and other nutrients, resulting in their elimination. For acute situations, take activated charcoal for only a brief period of time under the supervision of your naturopath or other health practitioner. Ensure you restore lost nutrients once the acute situation has passed.
Regarding poisonings, activated charcoal will not adsorb cyanide and is not recommended for corrosive acids or alkalids. Consult with your poison control centre, naturopath, or other health practitioner to determine the most suitable course of action under these situations.
Activated charcoal effectively neutralizes fluoxetine (Prozac). It is typically administered during fluoxetine overdose but can interfere with this drug under normal use. Consult with your naturopath or other health practitioner to determine the appropriateness of this compound for your needs or explore an alternative. See the section on Depression for more information.
In medical setting, large doses of activated charcosl are used in poison control, to soak out ingested poisons from a person body.
