Woodland Hills Pharmacy Offers 100% Pure Cholestyramine - Recommended by Experts for Treating CIRS, Mold Toxicity
LOS ANGELES, July 28, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Doctors are increasingly choosing to treat their patients with 100% pure cholestyramine instead of using commercially available products. This is due to chronically ill patients sometimes experiencing sensitivities to inactive ingredients in the manufactured product. Woodland Hills Pharmacy is offering pure cholestyramine in multiple strengths and can ship to most states.
LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) July 28, 2019 -- Woodland Hills Pharmacy is one of the leading providers of pure cholestyramine resin in the United States. A compounding pharmacy can provide cholestyramine in its pure form without fillers, additives, and flavorings that may cause reactions in certain patients. Prescribers throughout the country are increasingly treating patients for mold-related illness with this medication. Cholestyramine has been available commercially for many years. However it is only recently that doctors treating environmentally acquired illness realized that fillers and additives could be affecting their chronically ill patients. Now, with the services of a compounding pharmacy, 100% pure cholestyramine resin can be prescribed and used by patients affected by mold toxicity.
Cholestyramine is a bile acid sequestrant that was developed in the 1950s and was first used to lower cholesterol to reduce the risk of heart disease and atherosclerosis (clogged arteries). It was also used to relieve the itching of primary biliary cirrhosis (liver disease) associated with high levels of circulating bile acids. With the advent of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, cholestyramine was no longer prescribed as much for managing cholesterol levels and instead was used mainly for treating diarrhea. More recently it has become a primary treatment for patients suffering from chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) related to mold exposure, Lyme disease, and other conditions.
One benefit of cholestyramine is that it can minimize the need for systemic antibiotic use. Cholestyramine is not absorbed and metabolized like typical drugs. It enters the digestive system and binds to toxins in bile acid to form a complex. Then, the cholestyramine and the toxins are expelled naturally together. This prevents the reabsorption and continued enterohepatic circulation of toxins through bile acid that contributes to chronic fatigue symptoms.
The effectiveness of cholestyramine for treating toxicity after mold exposure is acknowledged by well-known doctors and researchers who are focused on treating environmentally acquired illnesses. Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker, a prominent researcher in this field, developed a protocol that involves the use of cholestyramine as a primary step in treatment after remediation of the patient's environment. Dr. Neil Nathan, who recently published the book Toxic, which is quickly becoming standard reference material for practitioners, recommends the use of pure cholestyramine for most patients.
The commercially available versions of cholestyramine are made with sweeteners, colorings, fillers, and other ingredients that are considered "inactive." While these ingredients do not affect everyone, they can cause side effects for patients with sensitivities or allergies. Patients being treated for toxicity after mold exposure often report greater sensitivities to inactive ingredients. Here is an example of the inactive ingredients found in a commercially available cholestyramine product: "acacia, citric acid, D&C Yellow No. 10, FD&C Yellow No. 6, flavor (natural and artificial Orange), polysorbate 80, propylene glycol alginate and sucrose." In comparison, Woodland Hills Pharmacy makes 100% pure cholestyramine resin with no other ingredients. This is the treatment preferred by most practitioners treating CIRS related to mold exposure.
Steve Levin, RPh, owner and pharmacist-in-charge at Woodland Hills Pharmacy, says, "Our pharmacy has been providing 100% pure cholestyramine since we opened in 2012, and the demand for this product has been consistent since then. While some treatments for treating mold toxicity can become "fads" that are quickly given up and replaced by new ones, cholestyramine has remained a core medication in almost every treatment protocol."
Woodland Hills Pharmacy offers 100% pure cholestyramine in any amount needed. The most common amounts required for a monthly supply are 150 grams, 240 grams, 360 grams, and 480 grams, but this will vary depending on the directions. A prescription is required to get pure cholestyramine. You can speak with a pharmacist at Woodland Hills Pharmacy by calling (855) 876-3060.
