There's no doubt that our world is over-burdened with toxins in general, from car exhaust, cleaning chemicals, perfumes, heavy metals and so many toxins in our food supply but our focus here on the blog is to discuss Toxic Mold and it's effect on humans and animals. 

Detoxifying from mold can be difficult for some and in my blog I focus on "Nature's Solutions" that can help assist people in healing and "Natrual" binders can help facilitate that process along more successfully. 


What are Binders?

Binders are used to bind the toxins and get them prepared to exit from your body

Binders are defined as solid, insoluble particles that pass through the gut unabsorbed. They are meant to attract and bind toxins to facilitate their passage out of the body through the gastrointestinal tract.

The body’s most important detox organ, the liver, expels toxins into the bile, which is a digestive fluid that flows from the liver down into the small intestines. Ideally, the toxins move through the intestines and leave the body in the feces. But the lining of the gut has many veins and nerves that can pick up toxins and re-circulate them back into the body. This is where binders come in. Binders attach to toxic metals, chemicals, bio-toxins, etc, and shuttle them out of the digestive tract, preventing reabsorption.

TALK CLOSELY WITH YOUR DOCTOR ON "DOSAGE and TIMING": MOLD DOCTOR OR MD THAT WILL HELP.
You must use a binder to get the mold spores and the mycotoxins out that they produce. (These DO NOT come out of your body naturally as they must be moved out and neutralized).

Here are the top "binders" you can use. (Not all binders work the same for each person so you can try each one for three to six months at a time each to see which one works. You will know it worked by how you feel...the symptoms will all start going away.) I'd start with the top of the list and work down:

Zeolite (clay) from ZeoHealth
(*Most effective of all of the natural binders: My personal experience only)
Scientific Data on Zeolites: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16198090

clinoptilolite (AKA Zeolite), incorporated into the diet may be effective in fighting mycotoxins by direct absorption. Affinity toward aflatoxins, zearalenone, ochratoxin, and the T2 toxin was proven in vitro in the presence of aminoacids and vitamins, where the latter were not absorbed by the clinoptilolite material (Tomasevic-Canovic et al., 1996). The specificity for aflatoxin M1 was also shown in vivo, and the dietary administration of clinoptilolite, especially of the material with the smallest particle size at the rate of 200 g per cow per a day, effectively reduced milk aflatoxin M1 concentration in dairy cattle (Katsoulos et al., 2016).

Micro Chitosan

Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: There is not enough reliable information about the safety of taking chitosan by mouth if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
Shellfish allergy: Chitosan is taken from the outer skeleton of shellfish. There is a concern that people with allergies to shellfish might also be allergic to chitosan. However, people who are allergic to shellfish are allergic to the meat, not the shell. So some experts believe that chitosan may not be a problem for people with shellfish allergy.

DO NOT take any of the binders above unless you are drinking plenty of water, keeping detox pathways and taking some type of a kidney, liver, lymph support herb. Talk to an herbalist and tell them you are detoxing and that you need to make sure these organs are open and not blocked. (When you use a binder it will bind the toxins and push them into the bloodstream and your organs which can poison you...so you want to make sure you are using herbs that "open" the doors to let the toxins out.
