Matt Kelly explains how binders like activated charcoal and dietary fiber work in your gut. They bind toxins and bile, potentially easing symptoms when your body reacts badly to detoxing from heavy metals, chemicals, or mycotoxins.
If you sauna, is it recommended to take a binder? Would a binder help with detoxification intolerance? Generally, yes. So a binder can be fiber in foods. It can be fiber from a fiber supplement. It can be an extra binder such as activated charcoal or diatomaceous earth, other things like that. All of those things hold onto the junk that are in the GI tract, but also the bile that comes in to help you digest carries a lot of toxins with it. So the binder can hold onto those things and the toxins that might come either directly into the gut or through the bile. Could be metal, they could be chemicals, they could be biotoxins, kind of like a mycotoxin, and the binders can help with that.
