Does anyone know of good alternatives to cholestyramine for binding neurotoxins (besides chlorella)?

I'm so scared to take ANYTHING as I react to EVERYTHING. I reacted horribly to both cholestyramine and chlorella (amongst many other things!). Chlorella caused violent vomiting for hours on end that left me nearly unconscious on 2 occasions. I am incredibly sensitive.

Keebler, do you know if I could have similar reactions to any of the things you mentioned? I suppose anything is possible. Is there one thing in particular you recommend starting with?

I have some Fiber Smart (I think that's what it's called) from (I think) Renew Life. I can't take it though b/c it has lactobacillus in it and my Metametrix results said to stay away from D-lactate forming probiotics b/c I have lactobacillus overgrowth.

Some other possibilities are Bentonite clay mixed with water, chitosan (shellfish--could be a problem), ground up flax seed (not that good at absorbing, but better than nothing).

In your case, taking very small amounts to start would seem to be vital.

Hope this helps!

Best,

When you are loaded with infections and neurotoxins you react to everything.I used to react to even probiotics and whatever I took.

Overtime as you reduce the infections and the toxins you can handle more.Start in small dosages only .I used to pass out in the bathroom unconscious several times while in parasite cleansings without even starting antibiotics..

It took me a few months on detox before I could start any killers.

Zeolite can bind to mold mycotoxins and supposedly it can also bind to numerous other toxins as well.


Olestra (yes the fat substitute) is another substance that can bind to and remove toxins from the body. It's cheap but it does have some side effects of it's own.


Olestra as an antidote for toxins:

I also had a bad reaction to cholestyramine and I could not tolerate it but I tolerated zeolite just fine. I also tolerated Olestra fairly well to, the only noticeable side effect that I had from taking Olestra was loose stools.
