The problem with these binders is, that although they make you feel better at first, they are also binding a lot of good minerals and vitamins along with the bad, and eventually you will end up with some sort of new problem due to those deficiencies they've now created.  For me, muscle cramps is the first sign that I have to stop taking binders.

You can certainly workaround this if you can supplement with the depleted nutrients, but first you have to figure out what those nutrients are.  It took me years to figure out that one of the things that was getting depleted and needed supplementing was Vitamin B1.  

Also, you can instead use binders that don't tend to bind with the good stuff, e.g. chlorella.  Although with chlorella, you have to make sure that you are taking a brand that isn't already contaminated with toxins to start with.
