I'm just starting to research this too. My DS has the worst of the worse gene combination for detoxing. Our LLMD immediately prescribed cholestiramine (CSM) to bind and remove the toxins that DS can't excrete. CSM is the best. It removes the different types of biotoxins. There are other binders you can use, natural ones like activated charcoal but they don't bind all the toxins. They are much less effective. I'd suggest starting to read Ritchie Schoemaker's work: http://www.survivingmold.com/treatment We are fortunate that our LLMD is also literate on Schoemaker's research and treatment. But you may need to start educating your LLMD, or go to a new one. There is a diet you should follow. Look for my post from Wednesday where Christine found some links for me about the diet. You also have to minimize your exposure to environmental biotoxins: Don't eat reef fish, don't swim in certain lakes with certain algae, don't live/work in moldy buildings.

"What MD Junction means to me is a place where i can feel like im not alone. As someone with something as rare as hydrocephalus, it feels like im the only one in the world with it. When i came to MD, its like everyone has it. It doesnt feel like im alone. And that people need to hold up a sign to say what i have, because people know. And they understand. I can get questions answered from people who have been through it rather than from doctors or people who only can tell you from a physical standpoint. THat is what MD junction means to me."
