Toby Yo’s Detox Dust Ingredients — How They Work
Share
1. Activated Charcoal (Medical Grade)
• How it works: Acts like a porous sponge, adsorbing (not absorbing) toxins through its massive surface area.
• Uses: Binds to pesticides, heavy metals, drugs, mycotoxins, metabolic waste, and gut-derived endotoxins.
• Research & Benefits:
• Used in emergency medicine for poisonings.
• Studies show it reduces uremic toxins and can help with gas and bloating.
• Historical Use: Ancient Egyptians and Ayurvedic practitioners used it for water purification and digestive ailments.
2. Bentonite Clay
• How it works: Swells upon contact with water, pulling toxins via ionic exchange. Binds pathogens, heavy metals, and environmental toxins.
• Uses: Mold detox, radiation exposure, skin healing, gut repair.
• Research & Benefits:
• Binds aflatoxins (mold toxins) effectively.
• Helps with IBS, diarrhea, and leaky gut.
• Historical Use: Used by Native Americans and various tribes for stomach illnesses and wound healing.
3. Zeolite (Micronized)
• How it works: A volcanic mineral with a crystalline structure that traps heavy metals and positively charged toxins.
• Uses: Heavy metal detox (especially lead, cadmium, mercury), ammonia removal, and mold support.
• Research & Benefits:
• Clinical trials show its safety and efficacy for reducing heavy metal loads.
• Supports microbiome balance and reduces oxidative stress.
• Note: Micronized zeolite works in the GI tract, not intracellularly unless specially processed (so it’s perfect for binding in the gut).
4. Slippery Elm
• How it works: Mucilaginous herb that coats and soothes the GI lining.
• Uses: Reduces irritation caused by binders, supports gut lining healing, helps transit of waste.
• Traditional Use: Native American medicine for cough, ulcers, and GI inflammation.
5. Psyllium Husk
• How it works: Bulking agent that adds fiber and helps push toxins out of the body. Also slows transit to allow longer binding time.
• Uses: Constipation, bowel regularity, toxin elimination.
• Research & Benefits:
• Improves lipid profile, blood sugar regulation, and satiety.
• Enhances detox by promoting healthy elimination.

Best Practices for Using Binders
1. Timing Is Everything
• Take 2+ hours away from food, medications, or supplements to avoid binding nutrients you want absorbed.
• Ideal times: Early morning or before bed on an empty stomach.
2. Water Is Key
• Binders require lots of water to move through the digestive system and avoid constipation.
• Aim for at least 500 ml of water with your dose, and 2–3 liters total per day during detox.
3. Dosage
• Start with ½ to 1 teaspoon of Detox Dust once daily. You can increase to 2x/day if tolerated well.
• Mix with water (or coconut water, or herbal tea). Let it settle, then drink immediately.
• Optional: Add lemon/lime to enhance the cleansing effect.
4. Pair With Other Detox Tools
• Best used with a comprehensive detox plan (e.g., parasite cleanse, liver support, redox support like redox revive or cellular renew or sauna/sweating).
• Consider adding binders 2 hours after parasite herbs to mop up the released debris.

Miraculous (and Documented) Benefits
• Reduces die-off symptoms (Herxheimer reactions) during pathogen or parasite detox.
• Pulls out mold toxins and heavy metals that are otherwise hard to eliminate.
• Improves mental clarity by reducing neurotoxins in the gut.
• Supports clearer skin, better digestion, and reduced bloating.
• Balances histamine and inflammation by binding inflammatory by-products in the gut.

Cautions & Contraindications
• Avoid close to meals/supplements: They may bind to nutrients and reduce absorption.
• Constipation risk: Especially if water intake is low—always hydrate.
• Medication timing: Keep at least 2-3 hours away from any prescription meds.
• Pregnancy & breastfeeding: Use only under professional guidance.
• Long-term use: Fine in short bursts (1–4 weeks). For long-term, rotate or cycle off periodically.
