CSM and LDN

[Guest guest]

Thank-you all for your answers about these medications. I hadn't

thought about cholesterol being involved in all of this, but guess

everything is involved. Love, Joyce

Desperation Medicine, page 258:

Next problem: How does our dear old friend, the cholesterol-

lowering drug cholestyramine, work to neutralize the impact of these

toxins on fat-containing tissue?

The answer is simple. In order to remove the toxins from a patients

system molecule by molecule, we must find another molecular sink -

another atomic structure that will lock onto the toxin's ionic ring

in the same way that the toxin locked onto the potassium atoms

before dragging them into the poisoned cell.

Obviously complex, the chemistry is nonetheless easy to describe.

In order to prevent the toxin molecules that carry the ion sink-lock

from being reabsorbed in the small intestine (their usual fate, as

they circulate throughout the body's system of fatty deposits before

ending up in bile), our toxin-fighting friend, the CSM, presents

them with an ion " key " structurally similar to - and esentially the

same size as the potassium molecule.

As the toxin molecules move though the gut, they encounter a

different positive charge that fits into the molecular sink. This

charge is derived not from potassium, but from the similarly sized

(and similarly charged) quaternary ammonium contained in the CSM.

Once again, the key fits into the lock. But this time, something

different happens. Because the toxin molecules are being held by the

uniquely configured atomic structure of CSM, with its long

polystryrene backbone, they cannot be reabsorbed back through the

intestinal wall.
