What are some safe detoxing supplements and binders for someone who still has metal fillings in their mouth?

Activated charcoal is one of them

Does activated charcoal pull toxins from tissues, or does it just bind to toxins that have already made their way to the digestive tract?

I think it’s safe to use activated charcoal with mercury amalgams.

I don't think it pulls anything from tissues.

Modified citrus pectin is another safe one.

Do any of the above listed products pull toxins from tissue or just bind to what is already in the digestive tract? I'd also like to know that when given suggestions. Because we are not always mobilizing toxins properly. Many of us need help to even get the toxins to the blood stream to be eliminated.

The ones I listed I believe are only binding to what’s in your GI tract

ashleylynn,

I believe increasing glutathione will help the body to "dump" toxins. Some take IV glutathione. Others take liposomal glutathione, like Readisorb. Some take NAC or ALA to indirectly help the body produce more glutathione. That may or may not work depending on methylation or genetic issues. Do NOT take ALA if you have mercury fillings in your teeth.

Cholestyramine is the strongest binder. It is Rx. It binds to mold toxins, but I really don't know the full range of what it binds to. It can cause rapid and overwhelming removal of toxins from tissues that can be intolerable to very toxic or very sensitive people.

FIR Sauna is probably the best and safest way to get a variety of toxins out of tissues if you can find one (try your YMCA, local spa, or some alternative doctors' offices).

Do you know if a person with problems regulating temperature should use a sauna? Because I do have that problem due to lyme.

Nevermind, I read that you should avoid infrared saunas if you have dysautonomia. Sigh.

Some people cannot tolerate the heat. It's summer now. If you have trouble tolerating the heat outside or cannot tolerate epsom salt baths in mildly hot water, then you probably shouldn't try a sauna just yet. If you're okay with those, you could try it out. As with anything else, start low and slow. With sauna, that would mean lower temperature and shorter time. You can search sauna. There are some old posts with more details.
