Opinions and knowledge please!!

I have probably read a lot of the same things. What I read is that the binding often occurs with detoxing with things like chlorella (something I'm currently taking), but if your detox pathways aren't working properly it often deposits it in your fat stores. If you don't have any of those then it goes to other places like joints and muscles. I find often after a heavier detox I end up getting more painful lumps in my fatty tissue so I'm thinking that is what is happening to me. But when I have good days (2-3 bowel movements a day, especially if they are good one), I feel great and the lumps are gone. I know about as much as you do about this, just what I've read and personal experience.

So how to avoid this... that is my million dollar question! If I can figure out how to do it for me then I will be better, I just know it. The two ways out I've read are bowels (due to bile) and skin (due to sweat or opening of pours). So if you can find a way to sweat - sauna, detox baths if you can but if you don't sweat well then this is not a good initial choice or exercise, then that's what you can do. For bowels then you can do things like charcoal, enemas, cholestyramine, chlorella, citrus pectin, clay and psyllium, but not all are advised while taking abx and some are not recommended if you have other challenges like no gallbladder. Lymphatic drainage can also help.

Hope this helps. From what I've learned, you need to find the combo that works for you. Doctors don't focus much on this (though my LLMD does and has me try lots of homeopathics) so you have to try a couple things and figure out what works best for you. There are probably many other ways to do this that I haven't listed or tried. Good luck. If you find a combo that works for you please share. I am still searching a year into treatment!
