  No. It’s means the 4Chan user is wrong about lots of things. They ate poison on a pop tart to get rid of worms and then panic ate a charcoal. Why would they be right about something when literally everything else they do is the worst possible idea?

    Eating charcoal is a decent idea if you’ve poisoned yourself.

    Not as good as going to hospital or just not poisoning yourself in the first place, but it was the first reasonable thing in the post.

      Activated charcoal is a decent idea within a few hours. Days after you’ve ingested fucking turpentine, you’ve long since passed the point of no return. From what I recall, charcoal prevents additional absorption, it doesn’t leech out poison like some sort of magic second liver.

      Though that was assuredly their joke. Just one infuriatingly insane statement after another.

      I assume he ate briquettes out of a barbecue when he mentioned eating charcoal

        Same. OP never said activated charcoal. I’d bet money he bit a chunk of Kingsford.

    Charcoal on day 3. Even IF it would have worked, it was far too late for charcoal at that point.

  It’s some weird pseudoscience nonsense recently that a craving for sweets or carbs is because you have intestinal parasites.

    Most Americans are so addicted to their synthetic corn sugar that they think “no sugar rush” = “hungry”

    It could also be that you have eaten sweets recently, and so you have a craving for sweets.

      Sometimes you control the Candida, but sometimes it controls you.
