Detox binder?

Hi, Lily! Same here. This is my first time on any kind of forum, too! I just sent my first post a minute ago and then saw yours.

I'm using herbs too, both tinctures and powdered herbs.

I've used several different binders. I use activated charcoal - 2 capsules. I've also used modified citrus pectin, called Pectasol-C, and chlorella. I recently started mixing the chlorella with the citrus pectin and taking it before bed, but I'm not sure that's a good idea to take them together. I searched online but never found anything regarding whether or not they could be taken at the same time, so I went ahead and did. Maybe someone else will see this and let me know. Anyway, I did it because I initially started with another brand of citrus pectin that my doctor wanted me to use and it had Alginate in it. I assume that's some sort of patented algae formula. Since chlorella is algae, I assumed I could take it with the citrus pectin. I try to take one binder in between lunch and dinner and another binder at bedtime.

I take binders because I have mold toxins and have Lyme and ehrlichia bacterial DNA but not positive if I have active infections or not. I have symptoms of Bartonella but no positive test on that one. I suspect I have heavy metal toxicity, too. I am very toxic and sensitive and have a very difficult time detoxing.

I take the binders, but I can't really tell for sure if they're doing anything. I have symptoms all the time and can't tell if anything I'm doing is really helping. A lot that I do hurts, though. Every time I take something new or increase a dosage, my symptoms and inflammation get worse.

Thank you! Great information!!! I didn't know any of it really. But had read about clorella and clay. Are those binders you mentioned all over the counter? Are they expensive?

Im taking the Cowden tinctures and some additional vitamins. I also just started doing a bunch of different detox teas. I wasn't told to; I just thought it can't hurt.

I know what you mean about wondering if it all works. I feel that way. Then I wonder if this is all in my head. But reading this forum helps because I hear so many similar symptoms to mine. Then also if I compare how I felt before I started the tinctures 5 months ago to now, there is a big difference. It's slow though. And for it to be fully effective, you need to drink about 100oz of water, and it's recommended to eat no sugar, dairy, soy, wheat, or peanuts. I struggle with all of that.

I'm not taking antibiotics. One of my main symptoms was my stomach hurting, and my Lyme literate NP thinks that antibiotics with just make it worse. She's right and I'd rather do it natural anyway.

Thank you so much!!! Everyone is so nice on here! It's great!

This is the website that prompted the question about detox binders.

http://www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods

I've been on Cowden for 5 months and was just wanting faster progress, so I started researching other natural detoxes I could try. I added 1 tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar for two days in a row, and on the third day I think I was Herxing from it??

I'm going to talk to my LLNP soon about binders. I don't want to take anything that will affect the Cowden tinctures.

I just wanted to share the website and a couple other thoughts. Feel free to comment if something comes to mind. Thank you!

The binders should be taken a couple hours away from your tinctures, food, other supplements..etc.
Otherwise anything in your stomach will be flushed out with the binders. If you stick to that - you should be fine.
