Pure Cholestyramine - cost, reactions, effectiveness

This came up in another post, and I felt it should have its own thread.

I just got a price list from Woodland Hills pharmacy for the pure cholestyramine. (7/27/18)

Here are the sizes, prices, and how long it will last at full dose.

150 grams is $120 - 9.375 days
240 grams $192 - 15 days
360 grams is $288 - 22.5 days
480 grams is $384 - 30 days

I did the math. Cost is .80 cents per gram no matter which quantity you get. No discounts for volume.

Full dose is 4 grams 4x/day or 16 grams per day.

For those who have used cholestyramine, either pure or regular Rx, please share your experience with it.

Did you have CIRS from mold exposure?

Did you have MARCONS or other internal biotoxin producers?

How long did you use it?

Did it help anything?

I was doing ok on it, .25 of a dose 4x day. But I started getting migraines with them so stopped for a while. Just started back at an eight of a dose once a day on the days that I am not doing bvt. (Just started stinging today). I plan on move up to twice a day next week. Then 3x the next week. We'll see how it goes. I feel I really need to be taking it since I have the gene.

You starting up again WBF?

It's been in the back of my mind for a while. I'd rather til I move though.
