Activated carbon fine or food grade has been used as a toxin antidote and detoxifying agent that goes back centuries.
Today, activated carbon fine is practically in all hospital ERs and many emergency vehicles as a fast, effective antidote for toxins or poisons, including pharmaceutical toxins, of all types. It is considered safe and effective by the US FDA, and it’s inexpensive. Very few know of this amazing natural antidote, and even less know of its general detoxifying capacity.
Don’t confuse activated carbon fine with charcoal briquettes for barbecuing or anything else. Those contain toxic chemicals and carcinogens. Using the powder form of activated carbon is recommended. It’s easy to ingest as a fine powder in water. It’s tasteless, though a tad gritty.
It is derived from subjecting pure, untainted organic substances such as coconuts or certain woods through thermal activation without using chemicals in the process.
Dr. Al Sears, MD, has his patients use it for detoxifying even heavy metals, and he uses it himself. For heavy metal detoxifying, he recommends a total of 20 grams per day, spaced apart in two to four doses, over a 12 day period. I prefer taking a heaping tablespoon once in the morning, well before breakfast for general detoxification.
The fine powder is placed into 6-8 ounces of pure un-fluoridated water in a jar. Let it settle for a moment, then cap the jar, shake well, then drink it quickly. Again, there’s no weird taste, just a slightly gritty texture.
The activated carbon fine particles are extremely fine, so a small amount covers a lot of territory: …one gram of it – an amount the size of your fingernail – can adsorb enough toxins to fill the square footage of four tennis courts.
The action of activated carbon fine involves adsorption [not absorption] of toxins. Adsorption is the electrical attraction of toxins and heavy metals, but not beneficial nutrients, to the surfaces of the fine carbon particles. This is more of a chelation process. The carbon itself is not absorbed into the body, so the toxins attached to the carbon particles exit via the bowels. Don’t be surprised by black stools.

A controversy on ingesting activated carbon is based on the notion that it also robs the body of nutrients. According to several solid sources, this is misinformation.
Pharmaceutical medicines, which tend to be toxic, are removed wholly, and nutrients from synthetic vitamin sources tend to be removed also. But food and herbal sourced nutrients are left alone. However, it’s actually better to take the activated carbon 1-2 hours away from food because food hampers the charcoal’s detox activity. This has been proven with animal testing.
From the 1980 book Activated Carbon by David O. Cooney: “Carbon added to the diet of sheep for six months did not cause a loss of nutrients, as compared with sheep not receiving charcoal. … A level of 5 % of the total diet was given as carbon. It did not affect the blood or urinary levels of calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, inorganic phosphorus, potassium, sodium, zinc, creatinine, uric acid, urea nitrogen, alkaline phosphatase, total protein or urine pH.” However, it’s actually better to take the activated carbon 1-2 hours away from food or milk because those hamper the carbon’s detox activity.
Another rumor is activated carbon causes constipation. This is could be true if you’re already blocked a bit, but it doesn’t cause it. As with any type of detox, one needs to be free of blockages to eliminate easily.
A simple purge before eating anything can clear the way. Two ounces of grapefruit or orange juice mixed thoroughly with two ounces of pure Castor oil is what I use before starting a 10 day run of daily carbon consumption. Then I skip breakfast and eat lightly for the rest of that day.
The carbon drinks begin after that one day of purging, a day when you should stick around and not venture out much. Drink a little more fluoride free water than usual as you eat normally for the week to ten day period (or more) of daily early morning carbon drinks. Black diarrhea can occur as a temporary detox side effect.
Keep It Around
Activated carbon is cheap and easy to use often as an antidote for our toxic world. But even if you’re not keen on using activated carbon for general or heavy metal detox purposes, it would be wise to have it on hand in a sealed glass (not plastic) jar for those accidental sips or bites of poisonous substances and venomous insect and snake bites.
I don’t like using activated carbon capsules, although they can be found in health food stores easily. There’s not enough bang for the buck for an extended detox period. But they’ll be handy for emergencies.
