Binders

Introduction

Let’s be clear and simplify one of the deepest topics in health and wellness today: detoxification.

We live in a man-made world with superphysiological doses of toxins that we will all come in contact with and possibly accumulate. These toxins can impair enzymatic function, immune function, detox pathways, neurotransmitters, and cellular integrity.

This is not medical advice but rather a guide to prepare a theoretical journey into heavy metal chelation or parasitic cleansing (full moon ivermectin protocol, etc.). Everyone is different — listen to your body. An unsuccessful cleanse can extend the detox process by years; a successful cleanse can restore years of vitality.

Step 1: Foundation

Goal: Remove daily toxin inputs, stabilize minerals, reset circadian rhythm, and prime elimination pathways. This is non-negotiable — skip it and later steps can backfire.

1. Clean Water

Use distilled or spring water only — 3–4 L/day (Fiji or high-silica water preferred). Remineralize with ¼ tsp Celtic sea salt per liter.

Tool: Megahome distiller ($100) or glass jugs for spring water.

2. Minerals

• Selenium: 2 Brazil nuts daily (Mercury 1:1 binder).
• Magnesium: 400 mg glycinate at night.
• Potassium: Celery juice.
• Zinc: 30 mg carnosine before meals with copper 2 mg.

Tool: Trace Minerals drops in water.

3. Non-Reactive Foods

Eat ~80%: greens, bone broth, wild fish, fermented veggies, grass-fed meats (adapt to what works for you). Avoid: gluten, dairy, sugar, alcohol, processed oils.

Tool: Food journal — rate every meal 0–10 for reactivity.

4. Sunlight & Circadian Rhythm

AM: 20 min sunrise (no glasses). PM: block blue light 2 hours before bed.

Tool: f.lux app + blackout curtains.

5. Sauna & Movement

Sauna (infrared or dry heat), walking (barefoot grass walks), and lymphatic drainage (the "big 6" morning and night).

Duration: 7–14 days until ~80% calm days. Next step trigger: average symptom score < 3/10.

Step 2: Histamine (for the reactive)

Only if food causes flares (massive bloating, brain fog, anxiety). Goal: calm mast cells before gut sealing; otherwise binders can trigger histamine storms.

Natural Antihistamines (Start Here)

If no relief in 14 days → consider Ketotifen (prescription):

• Week 1–8: 1 mg 4×/day (30 min before meals + bedtime)
• Week 9+: 2 mg 4×/day

Tool: Compounding pharmacy or online telemedicine. Duration: 60 days minimum. Next step trigger: zero food-triggered flares.

Step 3: Gut Sealing / Binders

Goal: Repair barrier and trap mobilized metals/parasite die-off before they recirculate.

Gut Sealing

• L-glutamine: 5 g 2×/day (empty stomach)
• Bone broth: 1 cup 2×/day
• Slippery elm tea: 1 cup 2×/day
• Melatonin (gut peak): 2 mg with lunch

Binders

Use binders to trap mobilized toxins. Take binders away from food and other supplements. Start low and titrate.

Tool: Shaker bottle for MCP + chlorella mix. Duration: 4–6 weeks. Next step trigger: bowel movements 1–2×/day, no bloating.

Step 4: Colon Flushing

Goal: Clear the drain before using chelators — remove biofilm, old fecal matter, and parasite eggs.

Protocol

• Psyllium + bentonite shake: 1 tbsp each in 16 oz water — 1×/day (morning)
• Salt water flush: 1–2 tsp salt in 8 oz warm lemon water — expect release 30–60 min after; do once every 14 days
• Enema (optional): Coffee or salt water — 1×/week

Tool: Enema bucket ($25), psyllium husk ($15). Duration: 7–10 days. Next step trigger: clean wipe on toilet paper, no straining.

Step 5: Liver Support

Goal: Open the exit gate before metals/parasites — boost Phase I/II detox, thin bile, and prevent re-tox.

Core Stack

• Milk thistle: 200 mg 2×/day
• Dandelion root tea: 1 cup 2×/day
• Taurine: 500 mg 2×/day
• NAC: 600 mg 2×/day
• TUDCA: 500 mg
• Phosphatidyl Choline: 2–4 g/day

Tool: Castor oil pack over liver — 1 h nightly. Duration: 2–4 weeks. Next step trigger: yellow urine, no right-shoulder pain.

YOU ARE NOW READY FOR PARASITES OR METALS

Remember to add supplements or tools one at a time. Do not rush—take the time you need. Take binders away from food. If you take ketotifen expect a loading phase (feeling "weird" or drowsy for 7–10 days); this typically passes.

Some may notice sulfur intolerance — a potential sign of mercury toxicity. Consider avoiding sulfur foods and use liver supports gently (taurine is preferred). Adding 200 mcg molybdenum may help sulfur tolerance. If you react to a binder or supplement, reduce dose and re-challenge later; many binders require a tolerance hill to overcome.
