i have been using chlorella about 5 months. at the beginning , i used it 3x3 gram half an hour before meal.then, i dropped it 3x1 gram. my visual contrast sensivity tests was positive 15 days ago (left 13, right 12). i have been using chlorella 2x2 gram for 15 days. meanwhile i am using mms for 5 months. my main compliants are memory impairment,anxiety,partial depression, fatigue i wonder, does cholestramin better choice for neurotoxin treatment from chlorella any input appreciated. ahmet

I would Google Dr. Shoemaker. He is quoted in Dr. B's guidelines in the part on toxins.
Chlorella is very good. I've also used cholestyramine. I haven't heard which is better, but I know I had to use cholestyramine for several months and it helped.
Dr. Shoemaker is the toxin expert and you will find a lot if you Google him.

good website to research Shoemaker's protocol:
Cholestyramine versus Other Toxin Binders Presently these are over 30 substances used or promoted as binding "toxins" such as those found in indoor mold, Lyme and possibly Bartonella.
Often we are not given any information as to whether these are binding gas toxins, heavy metal toxins, plastic toxins, petroleum based toxins or simply help in removing drugs and keeping the liver healthy.
If they specifiy that a biotoxin is being removed, we often do not know if they are talking about a bacterial biotoxin, a bee biotoxin, a snake biotoxin or dozens of possible indoor mold biotoxins.
Here is a sample of research showing that while other agents can remove some select biotoxins, that cholestyramine, in our experience, seems to be the best global biotoxin binder.
Go to the link above to see the research.

Comparing Mold Toxin Binders Many thinking patients who learn about biotoxins, and especially mold toxins wonder what is the best binder.
After modest research they become aware of these binders: cholestyramine, activated carbon, bentonite and celite. So how do they compare?
In one study they were compared in their ability to bind fumonisin. Fumonisin B1 is the most prevalent member of a family of toxins produced by several species of Fusarium molds, which occur mainly in different varieties of corn.
Fumonisin is well known to cause many insults to mammals. For example, induced cancers in lab animals have included: liver adenomas and carcinomas, skin cancer, kidney tubule carcinomas, Simply, Fumonisin B1 is highly toxic to both livers and kidneys. It kills cells. It induces DNA damage. It undermines key reactions in lab animals and humans: sphingolipid, phospholipid and fatty acid metabolism is disturbed in and outside the body in all animals and in a single human study. Disruption of sphingolipids by fumonisin B1 causes cell death.
Comparing the Mold Toxin Binders Cholestyramine showed the best adsorption capacity. It was quite effective at 85% absorption.
Activated Carbon had the second best mold toxin absorption at 62%.
Bentonite clay adsorbed minimally. Even when the amount of toxin load in the water was reduced to a low load of only 13 microg/ml, the Bentonite clay still only bound 12% of the toxin. Celite was not effective even at the lowest tested FB1 concentration of 3.2 microg/ml. Cholestyramine was tested in lab rats fed food with fumonisin toxins. Some of the rats had a diet with 20-mg/g cholestyramine.
The addition of cholestyramine to the toxin-contaminated diets consistently reduced the effect of fumonisin toxins as tested by their urinary excretion tests.

I started cholestyramine a little over a month ago. 2 scoops twice a day. It has definately helped my neuro symptoms of burning feet, warm flushing sensations, tingling. I'm on Rocephin 2 gms IV twice a day.
I still feel bad and have horrible fatigue. But, the neuro symptoms have improved. I've had no problem with constipation with this drug which is a side effect. I mix the 2 scoops in apple juice.

chamade, cholestyramine could bind to the fat soluble nutrients in foods, such as Vitamin A, D, & K. I don't think it will suck them all out, but you won't get your full dose from the food. Still we must eat. At one time I was eating all my meals 30mins after taking cholestyramine, I just made sure to take a good multivitamin and supplements 2hr & 30mins after.
