I am doing both and I wonder if I should be using specific strategy.
Like - should I do the Cholestyramine before sauna or just after for maximum detox benefits.
Normally I only do one dose per day but sometimes I can squeeze in two doses of CSM.
I don't sauna everyday - several times per week.

I think you should time taking it based on how fast and hard your herx hits you.
If you don't feel an obvious one I suggest taking it as close to treatment time as you can tolerate. Maybe as soon as you get out. Or even right before you go in but that might make you nauseous.
Just my opinion and based on my own experiences for timing internal detox.
Make sire your not taking anything you want to absorb like meds or supplements within 4 hours of taking it at least.

Thanks for your input.
So far I've tolerated the CSM very well. And I'm feeling better than I have in weeks and weeks.
I do one CSM a day (timed around my meds) and try as often as I can to take a sauna.
I've been ramping up my Cryptolepis very rapidly without any more herxing since the CSM and saunas so it must be working well!
My herxes are gone yet I can take much more Crypto. Prior to this detox method I was slowly working my way up on the drops and getting a pretty good herx. Last week I went from 35 drops to 3/4 of a tsp (x 3) and I feel like I will be at my full dose soon (1 tsp. 3 times per day)

That's great. It's that balance of detox and treatment to not have to endure herx that is great balance. Have you found a good way to take it so it's not so gross. ? I have some from years ago and I hated drinking it.

I use half water and half pomegranate juice. I whip it up with a little whisk. It doesn't bother me to drink it - way easier than the Cryptolepis which tastes pretty bad LOL.
I haven't been able to sauna the past couple days - need one soon!
