I am looking for ideas in regards to the best binders to use for die off of toxins. I am currently using activated charcoal as a binder, are there better ones? Thank you!

Chlorella is also good.

Chlorella is a type of mold and I was told by my LLMD not to take so that option is out for me but thank you for your reply sarahm620:)

Chlorella is algae not mold, but OK.

My first response would be chlorella. I'm honestly shocked that your LLMD would advise against it. Chlorella is the most commonly used binder. As Sarah stated it's NOT mold. Very bizarre to say the least.

You can research here http://www.herbsforlyme.com/category-s/386.htm it's already at the page for binders for toxins.

about halfway down the page he list detox products. Some you can purchase yourself, others have to be purchased from a healthcare professional. ND's sell these kind of products.

Best of luck to you on your healing.

Thank you both for the clarification. I may have misinterpreted it too because of my useless lyme brain blush . For whatever reason I was told not to take it in my particular case. This is why I am looking for next best alternatives. I don't think the activated charcoal is doing the job.

Again, thanks so much for your input:)

I prefer Pectasol-C, but it's pricey. It binds metals very well.

A note about chlorella:
chlorella is also a very beneficial heavy metals binder… so, if not taken properly, it could draw out heavy metals from the tissues and if they aren't detoxed properly, can be easily reabsorbed… so I suggest being careful with the chlorella.

A cheap binder is activated charcoal, another is bentonite clay—although both have some (albeit minute) carcinogenic components. I've used both successfully.

I've been turned on to pure cholestyramine, because I'm very detoxed challenged and need the heavy hitter. It's probably the best binder but VERY expensive. Found out my insurance won't cover it or the version w/ all the additives, which was $7 per month… so not sure what they are smoking over there but 1.5 months of the pure powder was $120. But for me it's well worth it… hopefully not a 'forever' part of my life.

Takesumi Supreme is great (carbonized bamboo).

How about zeolite? I guess it's a heavy metal binder and used for radiation exposure..... They're using at the cancer center MD Anderson and patients aren't losing their hair!

I haven't tried it yet.

Thank you for the chlorella explanation! I have not been tested for heavy metals so that is another good reason to stay away from it for now!

Zeolite was on my to try list too...but not sure about it. Knowing a proper quality source is always my concern too.

Carbonized bamboo...that's a new one! Thank you!!

I am new here so I don't have my background info in my story line so here it is:
Dx: 7/2014, had bite summer of 2012, no rash, just a hole so I didn't think lyme. Live in an endemic area.
IgM band 23 positive for lyme
IgG positive for bartonella
IgM positive for mycoplasma & chlamydia pneumonia
Taking all kinds of stuff, mixing up protocols every couple of months and am getting better but have a long way to go.

Carbonized bamboo is new to me too! Off to search… thank you.

Best and most noticeable results I have had are from Zeolite. I used Zeolite Pure and took up to 1 teaspoon 3x a day in water. Last time I checked they were sold out.

Green Drinks, Lemon Water, Coffee Enemas and Epsom Salt Baths had more
Mild benefit for me but still helpful and beneficial.

Does the Zeolite also deplete the meds and supplements as the other binders do? Meaning when should you take this - one to 2 hours away from all meds and supplements? Thanks so much!

I like zeolite (I use zeoforce) - it's a really good source.

Then there's also good old fashioned fiber in the diet!
