    Activated charcoal is indeed a wonderful medicine, but people should be aware that it binds strongly to iodine. Once-in-a-while usage is fine, but long-term use could deplete the body of iodine–which many people are already deficient in.

    1. How often shud 1 ingest the tablets? I take just 2 per day.

        It should only be used for emergency poisoning and short-term detoxing (one to two weeks). Taking 2 per day indefinitely will eventually deplete your body of iodine (if you even have enough to start with, which most people don’t). There’s no need to take it long-term.

        1. Thx so much fr that inform. I had no idea. So I will take it only in 2 wk intervals fr detoxing purposes like 4 times per yr. Any suggestions on a powdered form of aloe vera?

            You’re welcome. I’m glad to help.
            Two detox sessions a year is usually enough for most people (spring and fall are normal time frames). Some might need more than that if they are really toxic, like with heavy metals and parasites and such.
            You should look into iodine deficiency, especially if you’ve been taking AC for any good length of time. You can supplement with Lugol’s Solution or Iodoral if you’re deficient (there are tests you can take which can determine this). They contain both iodine and potassium iodide, both of which are needed by different parts of your body; Lugol’s is liquid and Iodoral is tablet form.
            I once purchased powdered aloe from Mountain Rose Herbs so that I could use it in making personal-care products. I didn’t take it internally. The powder clumps very easily, in my experience. I just take mine in liquid form. Right now, the aloe I take is an ingredient in a nopal cactus juice blend. Before that, I took aloe arborescens, which is a slightly different plant than aloe vera; it’s used in part for cancer treatments. The juice I took is expensive, so I didn’t continue.
            I’ve taken New Chapter’s aloe capsules but I stopped buying their brand when they sold out to Proctor & Gamble. I don’t trust them with my supplements seeing how they help to create a polluted world. George’s is said to be a decent brand of liquid aloe juice. They purify it to take out the constituents that can cause diarrhea. If I remember right, they use organically-grown aloe, though I don’t know if it’s certified organic.

            Hi again, Tina. I just wanted to let you know that your last reply to me isn’t showing up because of a typo which made it look like you were posting a link. For some reason, it showed me the reply in my notifications, but it didn’t come through my email. I can still try to reply to it, though.
            I do know quite a bit about these things because I was sick for a long time as a consequence of having IPL done on me (intense pulsated light treatments). My doctors at the time weren’t able to help me and soon after that I lost my insurance so there was no way I was going to continue seeing/paying them when they couldn’t even tell me what was wrong or how to fix it. As a result, I was forced to start doing a lot of research on healthcare; thus turning into my own (alternative healthcare) doctor. I was so sick that I couldn’t work, and so I was able to devote most of my time to research. Through a series of help from several energy workers, I was able to stop having strokes and continue living but I still couldn’t work a normal job so I just buried myself in information.
            I learned that many of my problems before the IPL were caused by deficiencies and pathogens. It turned out that I just kept researching and learned about many other things that weren’t necessarily affecting me at the time. Unfortunately, the IPL put me down so far that my body couldn’t keep up and I am now treating myself for cancer. My pre-existing deficiencies and pathogen load combined with my energy problems and inability to exercise for 8 years led to my current state. It’s been a rough road and I still struggle with neurological and/or energetic issues, but I’m thankful for the opportunity to help other people now with my new-found knowledge whenever I can.
            Good luck to you, Tina. I wish the best for your health. 🙂

            May I ask what happened to you from the IPL?

          7. freedomdove says:

            Hi Dana. Yes, you may. It’s quite complicated and long, so I’ll try to summarize it in a few paragraphs. My IPL was for hair removal on my legs, bikini area, and underarms, so there was a lot of surface area involved (most IPL is done only on the face for things like acne scars, so most negative side effects are cosmetic only–which is, of course, a very traumatic thing to those people). After the first IPL session, not much happened besides a few headaches and feeling weird. It wasn’t until after the second one (about a month later) that the serious effects started occurring. I paid for three sessions and only had two done because of what was happening. I had the IPL in 2005, so my life has been in ruin for nearly 10 years because of it.
            In brief, the effects of the IPL caused years of headaches so bad that it hurt to lay my head on a pillow, encephalitis of my brain and spine, brain fog, strokes, episodes of prolonged paralysis, sensitivity to light and sound, tremors, myoclonic jerking, severe fatigue, difficulty with swallowing and yawning and sighing and breathing, and subsequent weight loss. It also caused me to have severe neurological and nervous system dysfunction which has taken years to resolve, including speech impediments and word slurring, problems with reading (needing to reread sentences) and concentration, dyslexia, and trouble with muscle coordination and muscle strength. There was much damage to my energetic body.
            As I mentioned to Tina, all of this eventually made it so my body wasn’t able to defend itself, and I am now dealing with cancer because of it along with my pre-existing nutritional deficiencies and pathogenic load. I’m still not back to “normal” (with regards to my neurology and energy problems) and I’m not sure I will ever be 100% again, but at least I’m able to function now–albeit at a reduced level from before the sessions.
            I would highly recommend that everyone stay far far away from any IPL services. It has seemingly helped some people, but it has also harmed just as many people (again, most damage is cosmetic). I didn’t know about the problems people were having with facial IPL before I got it done on my legs and underarms, or I wouldn’t have had the procedures done on myself. It just wasn’t worth it–especially since it didn’t actually work (I went back to shaving and now use sugar wax). If it had worked, it *might* have been worth the trouble–but not likely.
