Concerns about medications used to treat mold illness Whole foods that can bind to bile (to help you clear mycotoxins) Thoughts on the use of clay + charcoal as binders Quotes “Bile is made in the liver and then some of it is secreted into the intestine. Any excess is put in the gallbladder, and that's where it's stored until you have a really fatty meal, and then it's supposed to be secreted in response to eating fat or oils.” [2:20] “...people who are missing a gallbladder can tend to have bile dump diarrhea. They can tend to have more problems assimilating fats. They're going to have more skin expression because the skin really expresses when you're not metabolizing fat very well.” [11:54] Links Healthy Skin Show ep. 166: Mold + Histamine Connection w/ Dr. Jill Crista Find Dr. Crista online Dr. Crista's book, Break The Mold: 5 Tools To Conquer Mold and Take Back Your Health  Quiz: Is Mold Affecting Your Health?
