bentonite clay and chlorella

[susie]

I've read here that some are taking a cup of bentonite per day. Is that a cup of the liquid stuff? I have the powder from biopure and have no idea how that might equate. What brand is everyone else using? Does a cup cause constipation? Is anyone using chlorella as a binder? If so, do you know if it will bind up meds and supplements too?

Good questions. We will be starting the clay this week although I was under the impression the clay acts as a binder so we wouldn't need chlorella too? I am assuming if it works the same way as the Cholestyramine then you would need to give it at least 1 hour from supplements or antibiotics.

Great Plains bentonite clay for dd.

 

I was directed to take the chlorella at breakfast & dinner with other supplements (for myself).

DS was taking the PioPure clay 1 tsp in the morning with liquid and one right before bed. He is now taking the chlorella and not the clay. He was instructed to take 15 min. before eating, 3 times a day (20 tabs - PioPure Chloella Vulgaris-for heavy detox).

Thanks...I will start taking the chlorella prior to eating. That's a total of 20 tabs daily, correct?

I'm just curious, did you stop the clay because it wasn't helpful?

It is actually 20 tabs before each meal. I know, it seems like a lot (they are small tabs) but he has shown a huge need to detox. You may want to start at a lower level until talking to your LLMD.

After starting dd9 on Chlorella, she is (I think) detoxing and I'm glad I started her on 800 mg a day (that is 2 caps of the brand we are using). She got a very bad cankersore, increased senstivitiy to clothes (she felt they were sharp against her skin), very annoyed and irritated, maybe some other symptoms. I'm assuming this is good detox.

 

I am thinking of switching to th biopure since this seems to be working for her maybe we need a better product to really hit this out of the park. How do they taste since they are tablets? One thing is that she is so tired of taking pills, I hate to increase it.

 

Also, Regarding the clay, should that be taken away from all supplements and probiotics? I'm finding it hard to find a time to give it to dd8.

Susan: My son has been complaining about the taste of the Chlorella tabs.

Wow...that's a lot. I'm taking 6 BioPure Chlorella Pyrenoidosa with breakfast, lunch and dinner - 18 total. I have no problems with the taste, but then again I don't have issues with swallowing pills. I take them with a green smoothie that taste like kiwi & apples. They are very small tabs.

I was told that the clay does not bind the probiotics. Douglas labs makes a product with both bentonite and Lactobacillus together, so if you trust this company, then that's a good clue that it's OK. I don't really know about the supplements, but I was told to separate those from the clay.
