I am convinced activated charcoal saved my 6 month old Aussie from parvo. I took her to the vet to get her immunizations and within 12 hours she had full blown parvo. We gave her a turkey baster full of pedialite and teaspoon full of FOOD GRADE ACTIVATED CHARCOAL. Every hour she got the pedialite and every 3 hours we gave her a tablespoon full of FOOD GRADE ACTIVATED CHARCOAL in the pedialite. Within 4 hours of her first dose she was feeling better 24 hours later she was interested in food and water again. A full 48 hours later she was eating cooked rice with chicken broth. She continued to recover by leaps and bounds. I hope this helps someone. We were told to just put her down because she wouldn't recover. I am so glad we didn't. God Bless!
Animals are meant to eat raw foods, raw meats. Cooking food is not natural for them. Cats that were grown on cooked food/meat showed more problems and conditions and shorter lifespan. Cooking Destroys Enzymes needed for nutrient delivery and absorption. This is a problems with humans too.
I've been using activated charcoal for 3 days. I know that's not long but I can smell things again like I haven't been able to for years. Must be working 👍
If you use it only use it on occasion, say once a month for example, it absorbs important minerals and nutrients as well and regular intake means it's going to be really hard for your body to absorb these minerals. It does more harm than good if taken unnecessarily.
@@aidandixon6028 If I have a toe fungus on one toe, will it still work for once a month. I've been fasting for almost a month by blending kale, cucumber, ginger, kelp, sea moss. And water hoping that would work, but list 21 lbs in process
@@aidandixon6028 AS LONG AS YOU TAKE IT AT LEAST 2 HOURS BEFORE OR AFTER A MEAL, MEDICATIONS, OR SUPPLEMENTS, THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH TAKING CHARCOAL AS MUCH AS EVERY DAY.
My son came out one morning feeling ill in the gut. I gave him one capsule with his daily fresh water and by the afternoon..he felt great. I keep some on hand all the time now.
@@barneyclifton6402 Activated charcoal is great but it doesn’t “adsorb” alcohol. It will adsorb substances with a positive charge. This includes minerals.
I had mold toxicity, and charcoal was a big part of my naturopath's prescribed healing process. I travel for work and always have it with me for unexpected GI issues.
I keep activated charcoal in loose powder form in a jar for any possible allergic reactions. It reversed my daughter's throat closing up after having Jack Fruit for the 1st time. I've used it a couple of times before (and yes, therapeutically is annoying because it makes green stools hard as rocks) but we're very careful not to take it with any food or vitamins that we'd actually like to KEEP in our bodies. It will adsorb all of it, all that goodness, and remove it from the body. You might as well be water fasting while taking this.
BALDING: Activated Charcoal (AC) is an extremely important relief for balding 20 something young males. Anyone starting to lose hair at a very young age is most likely because of overgrowth of mold/fungus/yeast in the body. The mold attacks the hair follicle so hair falls off. The excess mold can be easily smelled in combs and hair brushes. Nowadays this problem is even seen to be acute in some young men with a black paste like dye coming off of their scalp which often leads to some brain issues as well. An awesome way to get rid of the mold in the body so hair can start growing again is by taking AC as prescribed above by Dr. Axe. The affected comb/hairbrush should be kept separated from the rest and disinfected weekly by soaking in hot water. Thank you Dr. Axe for this.
My hair falling out everywhere is the key sign black mold is back in my apt. I've sanitized everything I can think of...except my comb & brushes. Time to get out my food grade hydrogen peroxide again.
@@brrjohnson8131 you can apply virgin coconut oil on uour scalp as well. It can cure dermatitis and any other skin problem. Coconut oil can make your hair grow too. I've been using it for years. It works very well.
Idk dude i take turmeric and ginger everyday and my hair still falls out i think some of us are just born to be baldies lol i'll let you know if my hair miraculously starts regrowing after taking this
I put it in my coffee. It really improves the taste. I dont recommend taking AC everyday, just once a month or after eating sea food or working with toxic chemicals. It can reduce the benefits of vitamins and minerals.
For me, it made me so run down I had to lay in bed for days. Not sure what this means except that it must have stripped me from necessary nutrients. Maybe it's okay for some people to take, but for me I think it may have been dangerous, because I think it lowered my immune system and made me susceptible to sickness, which is a bad idea during this pandemic.
@@bottlesbob That sounds like a detox or herx reaction. If someone is very toxic, I believe this reaction is common when using any kind of detox. Look into other, gentler detox methods and you may not have such a bad reaction with that.
Your video is excellent! I use an activated charcoal mask. but before i go any further, for a good part of 15 years, i have had a monstrous face. I do not know what happened, but i have these creases under my eyes, and because of them, my life has been hell for 15 years or so. I have tried soo many things to get rid of these creases, but nothing worked. I tried the activated charcoal mask that i bought off ebay. It is by a company called Shills. I wanted to see what happened with my acne blemishes and other stuff. I was not even thinking about the horrendous under eye creases i have. I just wanted to try the mask. Anyway, i applied the mask, and waited 15 to 20 minutes for it to dry. I then pulled off the mask, and i was amazed! The under eye creases dissapated! They did not go away completely, but they lessened quite a bit. I need to set up an appt. to see a dermatologist, to ask him what the under eye creases are caused by, and WHY the activated charcoal mask dissapates them. I am thinking like maybe i have a skin condition that maybe is curable, but i am not sure of anything! I just know that i am tired of looking so ugly, so horrible with these under eye creases. I know the activated charcoal mask improves my face, so i am going to try my best to get to the root cause of these creases, and to maybe get rid of them for good!
I had food poisoning about 3 months ago and it was the worst/violent sickness I ever experienced. I can't even describe it. But what I did on the second day was start drinking peroxide water and within an hour, my body calmed down and healing came quickly. I then began to do coffee enemas twice a day spiked with peroxide or oil of oregano alternatively. I also added charcoal to my daily drinking water. I passed many kinds of nasties in the four weeks I did this. I was not sick during this time. I just knew the nasties were still inside and I needed to get cleaned out. I am using charcoal occasionally since then.
@@ladyg1772 There are no real measurements. You just want to know you have some in your drink. It will start affecting you as soon as you swallow. It does the same thing inside as outside. So just play with it. I use 35% food grade and just tilt the bottle and let a blurp come out. But more will not hurt you. I drank it in 4 oz of water.
@@ladyg1772 Um yeah... i don't think drinking hydrogen peroxide is the best idea for your body. Not only can it cause small bubbles to form in your bloodstream but anywhere from 6% - %10 is commonly used for bleaching hair and 90% is used to make foam rubber or rocket fuel... does not sound very safe at all.
Edited to add - I’ve used it for years, effectively. Thank you for sharing this. Note: It’s important for poisoning to call poison control phone number to make sure activated charcoal isn’t contraindicated. I recently thought my dogs had ingested toxic salt we had for melting ice. (I’ve since learned and bought non toxic ice melt.) the bag was ripped open. After giving them charcoal, I read that in the case of salt poisoning (in dogs), that charcoal would make it worse. Thankfully I don’t think they actually ingested it - just made a mess on the floor - so all is well.
Activated charcoal is AMAZING. I was detoxing with the sauna and niacin (look up the protocol) and other supplements. I am losing weight and when you drop weight whatever is stored in your fat gets released and floats in your bloodstream. I woke up with an overwhelming thought of suicide. I knew it was not normal. It felt urgent like I had to do it right then. I took some activated charcoal and within an hour, the feeling went away. I just knew it was impurities in my body that had been released that were screwing with my brain at the time. Take the charcoal, even if you do not use the sauna. Remember do not take supplements within 2 hours of taking it, as they will be absorbed by the charcoal.
I can relate to your comment. I had the same thoughts of ending my life not realizing what was going on with me. It turned out to be chronic mold exposure. I started taking activated charcoal and felt like my old self soon thereafter. I agree it’s amazing as well as a game changer. I felt like I was dying a slow death is the only way I can describe
You should take it 2 hours before or after your meal. Or take it when your stomach is empty and wait for 2 hours or so before you eat or drink anything.

My boyfriend has beginnings of cirrhosis he has beencomplainingn about tired all the time. I gave him coconut shell activated charcoal powder in the water. Since hedrinksk one a day no more tired. And he has going back to work. And when ever my joint in pain I put charcoal make it paste on the spot that hurts. The pain It all went a way. But pain comes back tnan I put more charcoal past. Once a month. I think it is better than the pill(pain ). It cures all kinds of problems.
when I was a young child and we went to the school holiday the teachers always had activated charcoal with them in the first aid kit for us if anything happen SO YES YOU HAVE RIGHT....I live in Europe
I don't know who needs to hear this however all I can tell you is please try this activated charcoal it is a godsend I don't need any power drinks or energy drinks in the least! And I feel great!! Not medical advice just personal experience!
I'm getting over a bout of food poisoning, unfortunately I didn't have activated charcoal on hand when it struck. Day 2 of sickness and I just took my first dose, I'm hoping it works!
I used activated charcoal on a tooth abcess at the gumline(not the root). I put it in an empty tea bag, wet it and place it on the gum. Then go to sleep(if you try this it should sit flat and not move, if you're a mouth breather you could choke on it!!!). I would wake up with the abcess flat and pain -free, but eating would cause it to inflame again. By taking high dose immunity enhancing superfoods(chlorella) and lots of vit c and oranges, it cured the abcess. You can use it during the day the same way if sleeping with it seems hazardous.
we used to mine mercury off the rocks when I was little. we used large syringes to suck it out between the rocks (early 70s). I used to play with balls of it and roll it all over the kitchen floor, it was fun to play with, or roll it around in my hands. we had bottles of mercury in our house as dad used to sell it but for 20 years we had bottles of it in the home, and each bottle about 10 ounces weighed a ton.. at least if felt like it to a little kid, it's very heavy. So I had my mercury levels tested by the naturopath... and they're elevated for sure, but not crazy elevated. Weird hey? by the way, I've never had any health issues except hypothyroidism. I only take one med for my thyroid and I'm almost 60, so not sure if mercury is preserving me or ?? haha I am taking activated charcoal though now for just basic cleansing of junk. I'll see how it goes. My point though is people freak out about fillings or a thermometer breaking with a drop of mercury and I used to roll balls of mercury around in my hands and played with it a LOT for years when little. Go figure
I say you should take less than what they say in order to see how your body will react first. No way I'm starting out with a whole table spoon three times in a day. I've used it as toothpaste for three days now and it's very abrasive and dries your throat out and mouth and lips. It soaks up everything.
@@DavidOnTheRoadGuitars I have been using activated charcoal for almost 9 months so far without any of those problems that you have, I only use it combined with white clay, and powdered turmeric to brush my teeth.

How much activated charcoal would I need to take daily, if i were to do this for a month? 2. what is someone lives in somewhat moldy environment? what frequency of AC would you recommend? thank you

I have a 3,5 yeras old son with giardiasis, hasn't got diarheea, but many stools a day. He lives on a low fodmap diet, gluten and dairy free. I tried activated charcoal, just a few amount and eliminated gas. We always fight with gas, even with Hcl acid, an ezyme and probio supplement, bu digestion is still problematic, gas causes gerd. He has some problem with sugars, even in this diet maybe thanks to the giradiasis? Can i use activated charcoal for gas elimination purpose?

Great video! I had ecoli or salmonella a couple months back and can’t seem to get my stomach right. I was also working around mold and am wondering if it has something to do with it as well. So I’m gonna try this! Super excited about it after reading the comments.
Dr. Axe, I just want to ask if I want to take activated charcoal for molds cleanse and detoxification, how short is the short period of time that we can take activated charcoal before we stop? How many times in a day? Can we use this if we smell fishy odor coming from our sweat and saliva too and for how long should we take activated charcoal before we stop?
I recently rehabbed an apartment which included removing lots of old lead paint. I used a proper respirator while doing this, but the job included scarping which makes dust and also stripping paint with a heat gun. I'm going to get my lead levels checked when I have my physical in about 6 weeks, but I am a little more concerned with having potentially inhaled some toxic vapors. Like I said, I used a good respirator, but sometimes you move the wrong way and get a whiff of the vapors from the heated paint. Would activated charcoal be an appropriate product to use and if so, would you reckoned any particular timeline and dosage. Thanks for your reply. -Joey S.
Does activated charcoal help bind Xenoestrogens? What about when someone is losing quite a bit of weight and the toxins trapped in adipose tissue leaks out would activated charcoal be helpful in cleansing the body during that stage of weight loss?
Do you take it with food, on empty stomach... does it matter if you take it before or after meals etc... ? I would go ahead and take it as it is convenient, but it would be nice to know if it makes a difference and what the differences are.
I had a quick question Dr axe. as someone who is 13months into a chronic post viral fatigue issue..I've got extensive testing all year. thankfully alot has come back clear. the most significant findings were a fungal mold infection found through a test for Lyme disease as well as high copper and low iron levels through a hair mineral analysis. I'm treating the high copper with the required supplementation as well as mineral therapy to adjust the imbalance my body is in currently. it's been a few months now. I've only just started treatment for the fungal mold as it was initially looked upon as nothing by my doctor at the time. I'm using grape seed extract in water, Apple cider vinegar and activated charcoal every other day to combat this. from these findings does this all sound relevant?? should I be treating my liver in any way also? hope this isn't an overload of info. it's been a frustrating year with very little professional advice that has shown a result unfortunately. thanks, from Adam.

And he has going back to work. And when ever my joint in pain I put charcoal make it paste on the spot that hurts. The pain It all went a way. But pain comes back tnan I put more charcoal past.

Charcoal used to be a standard part of a first aid kit
when I was a young child and we went to the school holiday the teachers always had activated charcoal with them in the first aid kit for us if anything happen SO YES YOU HAVE RIGHT....I live in Europe
actually had a mold issue taken care of this week definitely going to look into that
I don't know who needs to hear this however all I can tell you is please try this activated charcoal it is a godsend I don't need any power drinks or energy drinks in the least! And I feel great!! Not medical advice just personal experience!
I'm getting over a bout of food poisoning, unfortunately I didn't have activated charcoal on hand when it struck. Day 2 of sickness and I just took my first dose, I'm hoping it works!
How are you now?

Nice to hear a doctor say, in not so many words, that mercury amalgam are a no no in this day and age 👍
We always have a bottle of activated charcoal in our pantry. Works wonders.
Hi what all do you use it for?
Thanks dr Axe. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Greetings from Texas
I used activated charcoal and benedryl for my two dogs after they were bit by a copperhead. 3 days later no swelling .
What? No medical attention?? 😮
Dr Axe, Thank you so much for this video. I like the precautions that you've asked to take. Thank you once again.
I used activated charcoal on a tooth abcess at the gumline(not the root). I put it in an empty tea bag, wet it and place it on the gum. Then go to sleep(if you try this it should sit flat and not move, if you're a mouth breather you could choke on it!!!). I would wake up with the abcess flat and pain -free, but eating would cause it to inflame again. By taking high dose immunity enhancing superfoods(chlorella) and lots of vit c and oranges, it cured the abcess. You can use it during the day the same way if sleeping with it seems hazardous.
jade rozner I put it on the head of my penis and it keep it hard all night
I've also heard it can be used to relieve gas bloating. How does it work for that?
I have mold poisoning. Thank you for this information.
How long did you take AC for ? I also have mold toxicity. Ty
we used to mine mercury off the rocks when I was little. we used large syringes to suck it out between the rocks (early 70s). I used to play with balls of it and roll it all over the kitchen floor, it was fun to play with, or roll it around in my hands. we had bottles of mercury in our house as dad used to sell it but for 20 years we had bottles of it in the home, and each bottle about 10 ounces weighed a ton.. at least if felt like it to a little kid, it's very heavy. So I had my mercury levels tested by the naturopath... and they're elevated for sure, but not crazy elevated. Weird hey? by the way, I've never had any health issues except hypothyroidism. I only take one med for my thyroid and I'm almost 60, so not sure if mercury is preserving me or ?? haha I am taking activated charcoal though now for just basic cleansing of junk. I'll see how it goes. My point though is people freak out about fillings or a thermometer breaking with a drop of mercury and I used to roll balls of mercury around in my hands and played with it a LOT for years when little. Go figure
Mercury comes from rocks? In between rocks? That's interesting, you use to collect it with syringes? In the USA?
Hi it is useful after chemo for cancer patients
Hello Doc
Thanks for the informative video
Does Activated Charcoal also work as an alkalizer in water treatment?
Would it be good for candida overgrowth?
We Indians are using it from last so many generations.
How often do you consume it and how much do you consume?
In which ways you use it?
I say you should take less than what they say in order to see how your body will react first. No way I'm starting out with a whole table spoon three times in a day. I've used it as toothpaste for three days now and it's very abrasive and dries your throat out and mouth and lips. It soaks up everything.
@@DavidOnTheRoadGuitars I have been using activated charcoal for almost 9 months so far without any of those problems that you have, I only use it combined with white clay, and powdered turmeric to brush my teeth.
@TH-cam Sucks what would you suggest?
For bloating and digestion problems, which is better- activated charcoal or bentonite clay?
Activated charc
@@alexha2884thank you- I apologize for missing this.

Probiotics and activated charcoal can save lives.
I've never seen drinking activated charcoal. thanks for the tips.
Thank you for this video! I have been following you and reading your articles for a long while! I appreciate the knowledge as a biologist :)
I never go on vacation without activated charcoal, it really helped us a couple of times.
I would like to hear experiences of people who take it daily and what is better, 💊 or powder?
hi Dr Axe. can I use activated charcoal when I have hypothyroidsm?
Yes i take it once a day.i used it as blood cleansing.
It really works.specially for cancer

i hear it is also good for cannabis addiction? im trying everything i can to try and quit and bought some today. fingers crossed
I’m trying it for detox from marijuana, I took some and my withdrawals calmed down for a bit but I’m not sure if it’s just placebo as far as emotionally.
I am using it for my gut. Crazy thing is. I had molded weed and it got me very sick. Only affected me not my friends tho
can you do a video on mould and how to get rid of it from your house and body.
Activated charcoal gets rid of mold in the body . Doctor berg has a video on this .
keep up the good work, but stay safe my friend a lot of natural health doctors have been killed mysteriously, my gues is by the people who own the big pharmaceutical companies. if everyone used these ways we wouldn't be making them billionaires.

Love this dude found him through Jillian Michaels podcast 👌🏾👌🏾

Could it be effective for a cancer patient?
I take lithium. Will it effect me? Also I want to quit taking lithium so will it help get it out of my system? Or will it make lithium weaker?
I have a 3,5 yeras old son with giardiasis, hasn't got diarheea, but many stools a day. He lives on a low fodmap diet, gluten and dairy free. I tried activated charcoal, just a few amount and eliminated gas. We always fight with gas, even with Hcl acid, an ezyme and probio supplement, bu digestion is still problematic, gas causes gerd. He has some problem with sugars, even in this diet maybe thanks to the giradiasis? Can i use activated charcoal for gas elimination purpose?
How did activate charcoal worked on him??
Brilliant ❤
Wen I saw ur video a years an a half ago I tried it an it helped me a lot thanks for your videos doc
Dr. Ace you are amazing. Thank you for the helpful TH-cam clips. I am a victims of non consensual medical research with nanotechnology. Please cover ways to block or reverse nanotechnology infestation in the body.
How are you doing? When I read your comment I thought it must be from the past year or two. Hope you had success on your detox journey.
Great video! I had ecoli or salmonella a couple months back and can’t seem to get my stomach right. I was also working around mold and am wondering if it has something to do with it as well. So I’m gonna try this! Super excited about it after reading the comments.
Thank you for all that you do!! Could you also make a video on food poisoning please!
Is activated charcoal go to get rid of the numbing substances dentist use? Is it same day removal or days time?
Dr. Axe, I just want to ask if I want to take activated charcoal for molds cleanse and detoxification, how short is the short period of time that we can take activated charcoal before we stop? How many times in a day? Can we use this if we smell fishy odor coming from our sweat and saliva too and for how long should we take activated charcoal before we stop?
Fishy smell is kidney problems. See your Dr asap
Yes u can take it for 5 days stop for a week n start again, that's what my Nutritionalis told me n I've been doing it for years now
Can AC be used for gastroenteritis? I have heard that it is a very effective treatment.
Yes
Once again great information for taking our health to better levels! ! !
I love your content. You're so inspriational!!!
Hi Dr. Josh Axe, can I take activated charcoal everyday and is it okay to take with my gerd medicines??
Does activated charcoal have to be taken on an empty stomach like bentonite clay?
I recently rehabbed an apartment which included removing lots of old lead paint. I used a proper respirator while doing this, but the job included scarping which makes dust and also stripping paint with a heat gun. I'm going to get my lead levels checked when I have my physical in about 6 weeks, but I am a little more concerned with having potentially inhaled some toxic vapors. Like I said, I used a good respirator, but sometimes you move the wrong way and get a whiff of the vapors from the heated paint. Would activated charcoal be an appropriate product to use and if so, would you reckoned any particular timeline and dosage. Thanks for your reply.

I would take it only for 3 days one tablespoon in a glass of water 3 times per day and drink plenty of water
Activated charcoal doesn’t interfere with injectable vitamins does it?
Thanks sir to explain deeply... good job
Handsome, genuine, loving human dr🙏

Does activated charcoal help bind Xenoestrogens? What about when someone is losing quite a bit of weight and the toxins trapped in adipose tissue leaks out would activated charcoal be helpful in cleansing the body during that stage of weight loss?
That's exactly when you would want to take it!! The perfect time.
Can it also adsorb free radicals? Can it work as an antioxidant?
Hi Dr. Axe Question I have mercury fillings and want to use activated charcoal how much should I use and over how long. Cheers
Do you take it with food, on empty stomach... does it matter if you take it before or after meals etc... ? I would go ahead and take it as it is convenient, but it would be nice to know if it makes a difference and what the differences are.
You can buy it mixed in salt, so either/or. 👍
You said about detox, how many times a day do I have to drink it, and for how long? I'm 17 years old, and I wanna use Active charcoal for detoxing.
Samee
Does it Absorb medications ?
I had a quick question Dr axe. as someone who is 13months into a chronic post viral fatigue issue..I've got extensive testing all year. thankfully alot has come back clear. the most significant findings were a fungal mold infection found through a test for Lyme disease as well as high copper and low iron levels through a hair mineral analysis. I'm treating the high copper with the required supplementation as well as mineral therapy to adjust the imbalance my body is in currently. it's been a few months now. I've only just started treatment for the fungal mold as it was initially looked upon as nothing by my doctor at the time. I'm using grape seed extract in water, Apple cider vinegar and activated charcoal every other day to combat this. from these findings does this all sound relevant?? should I be treating my liver in any way also? hope this isn't an overload of info. it's been a frustrating year with very little professional advice that has shown a result unfortunately. thanks, from Adam.

I want to do a mold cleanse (candida) , so can I consume half tablespoon of activated charcoal daily for one month?

Can dialysis patients use activated charcoal for once in a while cleansing?Thank you
this is actually what i'm wondering too. it really makes sense. i see no reason not to. it seemingly can, at least, shorten dialysis sessions.

Dr. Is this safe for enamel? I’ve seen some doctors warning that it can strip your enamel down to the Dentin. Is that true? I ve used it before and it works great but now I’m afraid it’ll hurt the enamel.
Ived use activate charcoal for many years now
Thank you, dr Alex
