Binder Disrupter!
Wondering why I shake up the conversation about mold detox binders? I’ve got a different take on using clay long-term, especially for kids. Hey, I’m Dr. Jill Crista, author of Break the Mold, and I’m here to share why I avoid it and what I use instead to help you conquer mold safely. Ready to take back your health? Let’s dive into why I’m a “binder disrupter”!
Why I’m Cautious About Clay Binders
I’ve earned the “binder disrupter” label because I don’t use clay or zeolite clay long-term for mold. I do not use clay long term and not with little people long term because it can interrupt nutrient absorption. Here’s why:
- Nutrient Depletion Risk: Clay can bind not just toxins but also essential nutrients, leading to deficiencies.
- Kids Are Vulnerable: In children, long-term clay use can cause issues like more cavities or stunted growth due to nutrient loss.
- Short-Term Only: Clay’s powerful, but I use it sparingly to avoid these risks.

Lessons from the Animal Kingdom
Living in farm country has taught me a lot about detox, thanks to local dairy farmers. The dairy farmer in our area does not use clay long term, because it can interrupt nutrient absorption. Here’s what I’ve learned:
- Cows and Calves: Farmers avoid long-term clay for cows because it stops milk production. For calves, it stunts growth and weight gain.
- Human Connection: Hey, we’re not all that different from cows. Like animals, we need nutrients to thrive, and clay can interfere.
- Nature’s Wisdom: These lessons guide my approach to safe, effective mold detox for humans.

My Go-To Binder: Fiber Flow
Instead of clay, I love Fiber Flow by Wise Woman Herbals for long-term mold detox. That’s why my favorite binder that I use long term is Fiber Flow. Here’s why it’s her top pick:
- Insoluble Fiber: Contains psyllium husk to bind bile and mycotoxins without nutrient loss.
- Gut-Soothing: Includes marshmallow root to soothe the gut, perfect for mold-sick folks.
- Bile Boost: Features bitters to stimulate bile flow, enhancing detox.
- No Clay: Avoids the nutrient-depletion risks of clay, making it safe for long-term use.

When and How I Use Clay
I don’t avoid clay entirely; I just use it strategically. Here’s my approach:
- Short-Term Use: Clay or zeolite is great for specific cases, like bacterial overgrowth, endotoxins, or actinomycetes exposure.
- Pulsed Dosing: Use clay in short bursts, not continuously, to minimize nutrient absorption issues.
- Avoid in Kids: Rarely used for children due to their higher risk of nutrient deficiencies.
- Work with a Pro: Consult a mold-literate doctor to time clay use safely.
- Combine with Binders: Pair clay with insoluble fiber binders from my store for balanced detox.
