Hi. My LLMD doesnt like questran ..and wont prescribe it. I need something to bind and eliminate the neurotoxins. Anyone know of alternatives to Questran to decrease the neurotoxin load? If you know of something please list the amount I should take as well. I have tried to search this topic but have been unsuccessful. Thanks, Nikki

I am a huge fan of glutathione. I believe we have the same llmd, so maybe you can ask him about it.

A naturopath told me about a natural product that she uses instead of cholestyramine -- i think it may be called cholachol, but I'm not certain.

Psyllium.
Metamucil.
Apples...(wash and eat with the skin ON)
The apple or Malus sylevestris dates back to 6500 BC. It is not native to the United States but is native to southwest Asia.
Julius Caesar planted the very first apple tree in England and the English brought seeds to the New World. The Massachusetts Bay Company planted the first tree.
The apple tree is twenty to thirty feet tall when it is fully-grown. It belongs to the rose family because of its blossoms that eventually turn into apples.
The apple is made-up of 85% water, vitamin A and C, potassium, pectin , and fiber .
There is also malic acid in apples. The malic acid is what gives the apple its aroma, taste, and also healthfulness.
There is also a lot of starch in an apple that is crunchy but is little in an apple that is mushy and grainy.
Malic acid is an important ingredient in apples, therefore it is also known as apple acid. Malic acid is a colorless crystalline compound that is a metabolite in the Krebs Cycle that produces 90% of the energy within its cells.
Malic acid binds to aluminum.
It removes the aluminum from the enzyme tubulin-which protects and maintains nerves-then is removed from the body through urine. There is roughly 0.2-1.0 gram of malic acid in an average apple (the part that you can eat).
Malic acid is what makes the saying ``An apple a day keeps the doctor away'' true!
You cannot become deficient in malic acid because the body produces malic acid itself.
Malic acid also helps prevent many diseases and conditions. Fibromyalgia is a disease that is in the muscles and malic acid is a very popular remedy to decrease pain related to it.
Malic acid also is a remedy for hypoxia-related conditions which is respiratory or circulatory insufficiency, or when you don't get enough oxygen.
Some scientists believe that malic acid can also reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Malic acid also helps the body make ATP more efficiently. ATP is the energy currency that runs the body, from food.

You might want to add Destroxin to Scott's list. Take care.

Welchol, cholestyramine, and questran are similar prescription drugs (I think).
Chlorella, pectin, seaweeds (sodium alginate) and bentonite clay work for me.
I take a lot of a formula called Solaray Detox- cheap stuff that contains pectin and sodium alginate. There are some expensive and supposedly very good versions such as modifilan (google it).
