Sure, iHerb has a couple. I use Nutricology. Mix with a little cranberry or other juice.

Thanks so much Rich.
Lots of great info here, as always!
My dose of charcoal is certainly not hefty. Perhaps that's why it hasn't had much of an effect yet I'll try a handful and have extra magnesium on standby. Thanks for the tips.
Anne.
I agree with what Rich stated about needing a robust dosage of charcoal. Activated Charcoal in low doses has no apparent effect on symptoms. I did, however, get some benefit after taking large doses, like 5 grams. It is only mildly constipating, but keeping your GI tract moving is of paramount importance. Good luck.
Hi, Anne and all.
On the B6/magnesium connection, Adelle Davis, a pioneer in treating illnesses with nutrition, emphasized the importance of taking these two together. The late Bernie Rimland, founder of the Autism Reseach Institute and the Defeat Autism Now! project, learned this from Adelle, and that project found this combination to be very helpful in autism as well. Autism and CFS have a great deal in common in their biochemical abnormalities.
Best regards,
Rich
Yes, skip the calcium - unless you're on a very weird diet you'll be getting enough to get by for a while without it. Be wary of b complexes though - I feel awful on them and this may be because of the folic acid in them. I don't seem to be alone. Also see Freddd's thread about folic acid blocking metafolin.
So I should get some B6 alone, (ie. not part of B-complex) and try it with my magnesium supplement?
