This morning I read the information explaining herxing posted by TheSkyKing and saw chitopower mentioned to help with a herx.
Who has found it beneficial?

Hi there. I did not use chitopower, but I did use CSM, which I think is functionally similar (binds toxins). I don't know -- I couldn't pull up the webpage.
I think CSM may have helped over the long run to bind neurotoxins--or something-- and get rid of them; but it made my headache much worse at the start of using it (by my 3rd time using it, no headache. But a lot of other things had changed by then, too).
I don't know what to think about the whole Bb/babs neurotoxin theory -- I've read arguments pro and con, and my own experience is not definitive.
Mostly I'm just responding to bounce this back up the page and get more input. I hope your son finds relief soon (for your sake, too. It's terrible to watch the people you love suffer). If you need more herx relief ideas, let us know.
I've used ChitoPower and it did help me a lot...The only thing is that it is so very expensive...~$100 a bottle...so it's hard to be able to afford it on an ongoing basis.
During my worst herxes I was popping 6 capsules several times a day...so the bottle would be gone in a week or two...but it worked where other stuff that I knew of wasn't at the time. Helped clear my brain fog and achiness.
It's better than plain Chitosan because it has smaller molecules and can bind to toxins even in the blood stream, vs just like fibre (Chitosan) in the gut.
Now that I have experienced how beneficial coffee enemas are, though...I would consider giving that a try first (less expensive), but if I could afford Chito power on an ongoing basis, I would certainly continue to use it!!
All my best, Kira
