Charcoal and Other Supplements to the Rescue


Activated charcoal capsules should be taken immediately if food poisoning or any other type of poisoning is suspected. This cannot hurt you, and in most cases you’ll be much happier safe than sorry. Activated charcoal has properties that attract and absorb poisons, making them unavailable to your body and therefore neutralizing the effect a poison will have.
Hydrated bentonite clay has a similar effect. Its powerful absorbing properties eliminate toxins, especially those in the colon, and remove them from your body. Aloe vera and slippery elm are other herbs that have a laxative effect on the bowel. Both can be taken with any of the previously mentioned supplements to help your body quickly rid itself of wastes via the bowel. As always, whenever your body needs to flush out poisons or toxins, drink plenty of clean water to assist the process.
