From what I recall, Peat spoke mostly favorably of Activated Charcoal, but was leery of processing (which was true of most all supplements, and even some types of food), and the possibility of it binding too many useful vitamins and minerals. The second point is probably more of a concern with chronic long term use.
I’m currently using a brand called “Plant Guru,” which is made from coconut. It’s certainly one of the better ones I’ve used. No off tastes or smells, one did have the scent and taste of sulphur, this one does not.
I have been using 2 heaping tablespoons in water, usually that I’ve made Magnesium Carbonate with. I add the Mag water to help keep things regular, as charcoal can slow things down a bit (although I have noticed initial slowness in transit is usually followed by a bit of acceleration). I also tried adding apple cider vinegar last night, and that worked great. It was easier to drink than previously, and the taste was a bit better, too. I’ll probably keep doing that. That’s also in line with the idea of adding vinegar to the carrot salad, and how Haidut has suggested that AC can act similar to the carrot in taking antibiotic substances to the lower intestine (whether that be prescription antibiotics, coconut oil, Camphosal, so vinegar would be logical as well).
