Hi Carolyn!

Sorry to hear you can't eliminate toxins... I think I can't either,

at least, not without lots of help.

If I understood well, Cholestepure is cholestyramine?? And that's

helping you? I think dr. B also talks about that (if I remember well).

Or was it Shoemaker ?

Is this an expensive supplement? Do you get it without prescription?

In my experience, toxins do vary according to what we're killing and

we need constant change of binders. For me, chlorella was the longest

term thing I used but all other stuff varied considerably.

I think a mere solution of Himalayan salt (very light) sometimes

helped me too, as well as things like Zeolites, Chitosan, MSM,

enzymes like Rechtsregulat/ Vita Biosa, and surprisingly, mineral

supplements (trace minerals specially). Another thing that worked

surprisingly for binding fungal toxins was cardamon but I still

needed chlorella for the rest of toxins plus the salty hot water for

baths. I usually never test for a clenser for long (Mucuna bean just

tested for a few days, for example). Chitosan never tests for longer

than a week as well as Zeolite. But MSM tested for a few weeks and

trace minerals are testing for weeks (I guess about 2 months now).

Of course, another long term cleanser (?) was Milk thistle (for

liver) and artichoke extract (for pancreas). During metal detox, I

couldn't survive without Bear garlic tincture either (for kidneys). I

guess our experience of trying different binders is not 'exceptional'

but common.

In the course of treatment, I started to spend much more money in

supplements for cleansing than for killing.

I do hope you'll get good results with cholestyramine, please let us

know.

Good luck!

I have learned that one really good way to help the body get rid of toxins is by

colonics. Just wanted to mention it because I have found it to be very helpful

if not life saving at times for me.

I have used cholestyramine for two years, with no side effects. It

decreases my symptoms. I have Lyme.
