I am thinking about starting Questran and am unsure of any side effects....

Is it unsafe or is there anything I need to know about it?

I did just completely quit ALL abx a week ago. I have got to try a new approach as abx aren't cutting it. I am planning on starting a rife machine soon, too.

Thoughts? By the way should I have my cholesterol checked first? HMMMM?

I found this to work well with the brain fog issues.

The constapation was very sever with me and this product.

I started to use "Colon Care" fiber product when I took it, mixed it together.

I was also also taking salt and Vita-C at this same time. I would I even put a little cayeanne extract in the mix to keep things moving.

The biggest problem I had was taking it on an empty stomach, 2 hours after eating or an hour before.

The intestines have to keep moving or the keets and the other bugs have an easier time moving into the tube and making it their home.

I used a generic brand that had no sugar in it. Taste is really bad, pulls all the moisture out of my mouth. The mixing helps alot and drinking with a straw.

There were many days where this product cleared-up head and I just said wow. I think it is a good product for me.

However it is a balance between binding-up the keets before they get back into the blood and moving the bowels. The bowels have to mvoe to get rid of toxins. My dead and dieing toxin load is lower now so I haven't taken it in some months.

Take care,

John

I use actos and cholestyramine as part of the biotoxin protocol. Look into Dr. S's work for more info. He has several websites. Here is one of them.

You might want to do a VCS (visual contrast test) so that you can guage your progress.

Testing negative apparently does not mean that you really are negative.

My cholesterol went down. It couldn't hurt to measure it so you can monitor any changes. Actos is used to downregulate some of the hormones that can make it hard for people with lyme to remove some of the toxins. Without it, some people cannot tolerate cholestyramine.

Cholestyramine does help. When I don't take it, I feel worse.

Do searches here at Lymenet for helpful info from other people that have used cholestyramine.
