Hi Joanne!

I hear ya -- just that even though I continue to take charcoal capsules with the chelating stuff, the bowel movements were only PiTCH Black that one day- and rather foul smelling and mucousy as well.
Maybe it was actually Mucoid Plaque I got out.

It looked like it-- sausagy link looking and slimy.

They say that type of Mucoid plaque can have a foul smell too.

Whatever the case, my lower bowels sure felt relaxed and good after I eliminated it. Alot of dead parasites came out with it as well.

Since then , no more black bowel movements, and i'm still taking the 2 capsules of activated charcoal in the same fashion.

Would activated charcoal be bad to take with only chelating things like Chlorella and Algin? I don't take the Selenium/Magnesium, etc.mineral supplements when I take the chelating things.

I leave the mineral supplements for the next day and take the chelating stuff at night before bed.
