Summary
The poster described severe CFS, saying they were laid up in bed and felt worse the longer they lay there. They credit charcoal capsules with lifting a miserable malaise by the next day, and say St John's Wort works within the hour for them. They believe toxins build up while lying in bed, and that charcoal soaks them up quickly.
