I tend to like activated charcoal the best out of all the binders I have tried but it is constipating and when killing parasites especially I want to make sure everything is exiting as it should.

What binders would be best during parasite treatment?

are you saying you use the mila to keep things regular or that you use it as a binder?

I would like to try the mila seeds, are they the same thing as chia seeds?

I'm using it as a binder. My LLNP told me that it acts like a colon-sweeper.

I soak a scoop of Mila in a cup of coconut milk overnight. I add some more coconut milk in the morning, add 2 cinnamon capsules and drink it.

oh wow, that's very interesting lax mom. I definitely want to try it. From what I have read it is very nutritious and if it acts as a binder that's a huge plus!

Gonna get some soon!

Mila seems a bit expensive for chia seeds. Sounds like a good recepie but I think you can get organic chia for less money.

You can also try psylium. I have a colon cleanser with added herbs + psylium. It works good.

You can also try plain water enemas.

I just ordered the Mila, it is expensive but I do really need something to help with constipation and if it binds as well that's great. I might try the cheaper kind next time.

can u eat these as a snack or does it have to be mixed with something?

I think the psylium is better for constipation, though.

gigimac: I have IBS with constipation and Mila is helping me.

I don't know about eating them as a snack. When they are soaked for several hours, they expand.

Some people find the psylium to be an irritant, I believe... Clay & charcoal are very good. Maybe mix them all together? There's also modified citrus pectin (or pectin in general) & alginate...

I like the chia seeds but I don't know if they are actually binders.

Dr. Schulze has some good products for binding & cleaning the intestinal tract.

I do have constipation so hopefully the Mila will help. I hope it' s worth the money, I feel a little guilty now but oh well.

if it does work as a binder that will be awesome.

gigimac: once you get the Mila and let it sit in liquid for several hours in the fridge, you will see that it is definitely a binder (it sucks up everything around it)...that's the sole reason my LLNP recommended it for me.

Good luck!

I soak one scoop first since that's the way I was told to drink it.

The package says you can sprinkle on salads and put in recipes. However, it's so expensive. So, if I just soak one scoop a day, the bag will last a month.

Mila/Chia, was not a strong enough binder. Chlorella and Charcoal work better for me.

Usually I soak it overnight. If I forget, I soak in for about 5-6 hrs.

You will be able to tell when it's ready to drink because it will be an almost solid clump at the top of the glass.

That's why I then add some more liquid (Coconut milk for me, and cinnamon to make the taste bearable) stir and drink.

I couldn't tolerate chlorella (made me sick) and ART testing verified it.

Good luck!
