I'm at this point. The charcoal and carrot doesn't work, and my gums are still receding.People who have gone Carb free for a period of time develop a gut flora adapted to that. Increasing carb intake can then be a double edged sword. On one hand they feel better, more energy, but on the other hand the bacterial overgrowth and the endotoxin created makes you feel fatigued and sickly (sore throat, etc).
The gut environment has adapted to a low carb environment, and increasing those carbs rapidly probably accounts for most people's problems with Peat's stuff. Cleansing the gut is definitely risky. Before going the antibiotic route, charcoal and carrot should probably be exhausted as options. You can test your body's bacterial health by having a large carby meal...like rice and honey. How do you feel? Crappy and good at the same time?
