From A Reddit Thread I Posted:

So I’m creating this thread so people can share their experiences with Cholestyramine. I feel that it is great for DeToxification (or DeTox if you will). It is powerful and is used by the military. It will bind to neurotoxins and metals and flush them out of your system. Technically it is known as a “bile sequestrant.” It is also used to clean out one’s system to allow for better absorption of certain medicines. As far as I know, in the USA it is only available by prescription but you can do this easily as you just tell your doctor that you have high cholesterol which so many people do your doctor will have no problem giving you a prescription. There are certain over the counter supplements but they are only about half as effective while doing roughly the same thing. If you can’t afford Cholestyramine or can’t get a prescription try these two things as they do roughly the same thing, Activated Charcoal and High Fiber Cereal. I would recommend these two products:
All Bran Buds Psyllium High Fiber Cereal 51% Daily Allowance of Fiber!
Activated Charcoal
*Important:
once you have detoxed (wait at least 3 hours to eat or take vitamins, supplements before and after taking Cholestyramine)
to replenish:
a Good Probiotic
5HTP
NTFactor
Alive MultiVitamin
Today I took one even scoopful (as directed) of Sandoz citrus flavor Cholestyramine. I did this after reading about it in several detox guidelines (Burrascano and others). And I noticed it on my pharmacy’s formulary of approved covered medicines, so what the heck I’ll try it.
Here’s what happened:
They say wait 2-3 hours before and after eating or taking medicine because it will adsorb all your GIs nutrients medicines…
8am woke up ate nothing 10am, took it with as much water as I could gulp down. Tastes like chalky dirt. I wasn’t expecting any taste so that doesn’t matter. Nutrition isn’t always about taste or mouthfeel!
10-11:59am begin sniffling and snorting heavily in my sinus and spitting out what seems to be deeply embedded mucus, I self massage my endocrines, nodes, lymph areas (adenoids?) around face, temple, scalp, armpits. Light yoga, I feel great like something good is happening.
12:30 here’s where I may have went wrong (felt a rush of endorphins like when I’m fasting, feels like serotonin and dopamine maybe it’s the NTFactor, 5HTP, and Alive vitamins this week that is doing this) anyway fasting feels wonderful.
So instead of remaining fasting, not eating and letting my my body continue to reset its hormones, I ate a few bites of rice and beans (wrong move proly) and a bad leftover coffee espresso with some MSG laden Fritos. Take 1000mg Taurine to counteract the MSG excitotoxins.
1pm Begin Herxing or something…
brain fog, try to work on computer, get confused, can’t think, I get what Im going to call “Borrelia Bedlock”, fatigue, body aches, sleep for 11 hours
11pm wake up feeling rough, pee is darker yellow, feel dehydrated
midnight drink out of a gallon spring water jug as much as i can
1 am take 10-15 mg Tianeptine (cortisol blocker, mood brightener)
12-2am I feel elated, euphoric, almost manic, mood is bright, dopamines/serotonins flooded, feel about 4x better than ive felt in a month or two (and much better than during herx)
Notes: I dunno guys I think this stuff works. But I would say I should practice better nutrition afterward to replenish what I lost during detox instead of Fritos and coffee!
