That's a heck of a lot of charcoal!
Today I expect I'll do 3 tablespoons! And I'm going to keep going as needed, on the idea that the public generally is underdosing, since the longterm study that Peat cites used one cup (16 tablespoons) per day, intermittently.
It is, indeed.
I have a good feeling I heard Peat say that in one of the interviews but I'm terrible at keeping records.
The only thing I found to confirm this is a quote from good ol' VoS:
Yes, charcoal is so darn constipative but this effect, I find, is subject to "the law of diminishing constipation".The question is, wouldn't that much charcoal cause mega-constipation?
What brand of charcoal to you use?Yes, charcoal is so darn constipative but this effect, I find, is subject to "the law of diminishing constipation".
That's why I suggested to limit the dose to one or two teaspoons for first timers.
Building up from that dose, as gut health gets better, causes less constipation. Even in the short-term, the constipative effect stops adding up with an increased dose. Possibly, few tbsps to half a cup is as bad as it's going to get. The effect of anything beyond that is marginal.
I sometimes have some cascara along with charcoal to balance the constipation.
Carrots can add a nice bulk and slightly mitigate the harshness of charcoal.
Someone mentioned using larger grinds for those with severely compromised guts but I haven't tried this.
