Binders and Toxins

Something new for me — binders. These are substances that can bind with toxins in the body in order to remove them. Chlorella, clay, charcoal, etc. are standard binders. You can get a pill/supplement that has a combination of all the common binders.

Prevailing sentiment these days is that we are all subject to a vast number of toxins in our environment, so that it may be wise to take one of these supplements now and then in order to detox more efficiently.

The one thing you have to watch out for with binders is constipation, which is counterproductive for removing toxins, as bowel movements are a major vehicle for removing toxins. So if you are experiencing constipation, that is a signal that you need to back off your use of binders or lower the dosage.
