What are Binders?

This lady explains binders much, much better than I could.

Many of my moldie friends use manmade binders, such as CSM, fruit pectin (made into some kind of pill I think), dirt in pills LOL, and possibly charcoal or Zeolite. This lady’s food list in the link above is great, but I have experienced that these foods also work wonderfully, including taking away muscle pain from insecticide or potentially mold from years ago: nuts, coconut meat, chocolate, and “dry” beans such as kidney beans, black beans, plus lentils and split peas. Fully cooked please (raw are toxic to dogs and humans).

The idea is to have one or more of the items on this list a couple times a day. This is a good maintenance routine. I had this cake nearly every night for two months. Imagine–cake for medicine! LOL If you want to cut back on sugar, eat it with no icing. Full disclosure, I almost always had it with icing. 🙂

About Christa Upton

I am a wife and mother of three children ages 11, 14, and 18. I used to be a stay-at-home mom (teaching piano & dance, volunteering, etc). From 2007 to 2010, I suffered accidental Toxic Injury (also called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity or MCS). MCS has had major impact on our family, but the forced time in bed has given me time to write. So far, I have published 4 children's books (2 in e-book format on Kindle, one in Print-on-Demand at CreateSpace, and one printed by a local printer). Sometimes I miss my old life, but I love writing for children!
