Overview
Activated charcoal has a massive surface area that adsorbs (binds to) toxins in the stomach and intestines. It is invaluable for acute exposure (e.g., food poisoning, alcohol) or as part of a mold detox protocol to catch recirculating mycotoxins.

Catches recirculating toxins.
Binders are used to interrupt the "toxic cycle." Since bile is recycled 15-20 times a day, toxins stored in bile are constantly reabsorbed. Taking binders away from food catches these bile-bound toxins and carries them out in the stool.
Activated charcoal has an incredibly large surface area (one teaspoon = a football field) allowing it to adsorb massive amounts of mycotoxins and endotoxins.
