I found two promising studies for PFAS extraction: 1) You can donate plasma (not blood), which can be hard to do for some blood types. 2) Some bile binders like cholestyramine very effectively bind PFAS before it can reabsorb in the ileum. It would be great to see Rhonda discuss these and also tell us how to find a way to donate plasma in our area when American Red Cross does not support your blood type for plasma.
@nebojsa1976 your hotpocket, doritos, and ultra process food diet is better. The words you are looking for are "thank you Dr. Patrick for taking so much of your precious time, to research and produce these vids, so dumb as dirt laypersons like us can understand"
It's not just that we got lazy. A group of people wanted to make some money and they sold the world on the idea that plastic was a better and more sustainable option than paper and glass. They tricked a lot of people and now look where we are.
Also, all the plastic clothes we wear: polyester, nylon, acrylic, etc ... all sitting right on our skin! Plastic clothes have a low/sickly frequency. Wear natural clothing like hemp, organic cotton, linen or wool. Linen & wool have a frequency of 5,000 Hz and it's healing!
@@bonniethomas5620 Of course, I just learned about frequency healing and that lead me down the fabric frequency rabbit hole! No wonder everyone is sick or getting sick. Also our insulated shoes keep our bodies inflamed, we should be EARTHING/ GROUNDING also 😊
Just as fyi - The top five most common ways people are exposed to PFAS are: 1. Drinking contaminated water: PFAS can leach into groundwater and drinking water sources, particularly near manufacturing plants, military bases, or waste disposal sites where PFAS-containing products have been used. 2. Food packaging: PFAS are used in grease-resistant paper, fast food wrappers, microwave popcorn bags, and other packaging that prevents food from sticking. 3. Non-stick cookware: Older Teflon or other non-stick pans may contain PFAS, which can leach into food when the cookware is scratched or overheated. 4. Household products: PFAS are found in stain-resistant fabrics, water-repellent outdoor clothing, carpet treatments, and cleaning products. 5. Personal care products: Some cosmetics, including waterproof makeup, foundation, and shaving cream, contain PFAS to improve durability and spreadability. How to mitigate risk and exposure: 1. Filter your drinking water: • Best bang for your buck: Install a home water filter that is certified to remove PFAS, such as reverse osmosis or activated carbon filters. These can significantly reduce your exposure if your water supply is contaminated. • Cost-effective options: Pitcher filters with activated carbon can help, but whole-home systems or under-sink reverse osmosis systems are more effective for continuous use. 2. Limit consumption of fast food and packaged foods: • Fast food wrappers and other packaging materials are often treated with PFAS. Opt for fresh or homemade foods that don’t rely on these wrappers. 3. Avoid non-stick cookware: • Switch to alternatives like cast iron, stainless steel, or ceramic cookware, which don’t contain PFAS. Avoid using scratched or old non-stick pans that could release PFAS during cooking. 4. Be mindful of household products: • Choose furniture, carpets, and clothing labeled as PFAS-free or avoid items marketed as stain-resistant or waterproof. These items often contain PFAS-based treatments. 5. Check personal care products: • Avoid cosmetics and personal care products that list “fluoro” or “perfluoro” ingredients on their labels. This is especially important for waterproof or long-lasting products that are more likely to contain PFAS. Best overall strategy (bang for your buck): Filtering your water is probably the most effective single action you can take because water can be a significant source of PFAS exposure if it’s contaminated. Pairing this with avoiding fast food packaging and switching out non-stick cookware offers a powerful, combined approach to lowering your overall PFAS exposure without dramatically changing your lifestyle.
I did all this since 1997(18)…it all helps for sure. It’s crazy that is seems today people are finally waking up. It’s been known as unhealthy for a long time.
@@richardmartin2646 actually the food supply has had bugs in it forever. In fact bugs are better for you than plastic or any petroleum based item. Your comment makes me wonder what do folks read and try to know about their bodies and what they put in and on it. I’ve known most of my life that bugs are in our food supply. Even by FDA standards a certain amount of bugs and bug debris is allowed. It is almost impossible to escape. Take a class in agriculture and read up on biology and how the human body works. PLEASE ❤️

Thank you thank you. However because your comment requires reading most folks still wont get it. I never wear makeup use toothpaste and most cosmetics i make my own soap. My first set of pots are cast iron I purchased them while still in college. I still have them forty years later. My dogs wont even eat fast food. Over the years our food supply has become more filled with poisons and hormone disruptions. We are fat or sick not because of how much we eat, it is because of what is in the so called food. You deserve the SM award for the year for sharing very crucial knowledge. WE ARE NOT WORTHY!!!!🧐🙂🏆
The goverment and oil companies knew this at the beginning of single use plastics. It's all about greed. We breath in a credit card in micro plastics every week. Whats that doing to a baby? All the aminals.
If you read book called The 23 Former Doctor Truths by Lauren Clark you would understand exactly what is she talking about here. Mordern industry kills us quietly. You need to get rid of your bad routines…
I finished that book 2 weeks ago and I can say that is amazing book. Would also recommend it. She helped me with so many of new health routines and it was actually interesting to read what she revealed about Industry and how they manipulate society.
You mean not living in a western civilization because plastic is everywhere, unless you own your own well, grow your own food, slaughter your own meat, make your own skin care from stuff you grow, you’re gonna be exposed all the time. Heck even rain samples from everywhere in the world has show microplastics are in the global water supply
@@genxer74 I find it odd that 15 or 20 years ago, if someone recommended a book on TH-cam, that particular book was easy to locate and the author had their own website.

Hemp can do two things for us, first hemp plants absorb and break down toxins in the soil including plastics and pesticides, second non toxic bio degradable plastic can be made out of hemp. We need to plant hemp everywhere. Around all lakes and rivers, around all dumps, waste facilities, factories, farm land ect. This is the key to healing all of the damage caused by plastic and all of the toxic chemicals contaminating the environment. We need to ban the manufacturing of all plastics and replace it with hemp plastic as soon as possible. We need to force the government to implement something like a two year plan where we mass plant hemp all across the country and then use that hemp to replace conventional plastics over the next 2-5 years. We need to take the money they are wasting on wars and all of that crap and use it to subsidize the hemp industry in the United States. Growing hemp doesn’t require the use of any pesticides and also growing it on our farm land will heal the damage and contamination caused by decades of pesticide spraying on the land. This is the key and we seriously need to take action today!!!
Omg I agree 1000% but you gotta wake up the sleepers from their slumber, the human race isn't gonna make if we don't clean up the mess the humans have made, mother Gaia is retaliating, we are like fleas on her back, she's tired of the humans poisoning her, and lots of natural disasters are coming, we need to fix all the damage we've done as humans to her, and it will also help us in return, I love your idea, thank you for thinking outside box, most people can't even get out of the box, awareness is key today, if you wanna survive this craziness out here, service to self is the problem in this construct, and we need to be more service to others, when we unite as humans we are unstoppable ❤

My son had the highest amount of PFAS in his blood of any child in the United States that we know of. Nothing but time can help to get this out of his body. He started with 484,000 ppt and now is at about 175,000 since stopping exposure in 2017. I want to point out SOME PFAS have a 2 to 5 year half life but there are literally thousands of different chains and some may take longer than that. Thank you for making this video, very informative over all.
@@Tomato-ripe you can probably get a test at a lab- like almost countless other screens they can just order it and then perform it www.atsdr.cdc.gov/pfas/health-effects/blood-testing.html

For a while now I discarded any kind of plastic from my kitchen, all nonstick pans and pots and I never bought anything packaged in plastic or aluminum. I buy loose vegetables and meat and I cook my own food. Never used plastic plates or plastic cups or bottled water. I replaced the plastic containers with glass jars and glass bowls. Trying to be good.

@@f.g00gle44Not completely. Boiling and high-heat cooking definitely can. I think what needs to be focused on more is boosting the nutritional value of our food. Amending our soil is the number one way to do that. Eating them raw is always great (with most veggies and fruits, as there are a few exceptions), but lightly sautéed or steamed is perfectly fine and can actually help make nutrients more bioavailable.
Mad world. With all the progress humans forgot one thing... To not poison every last corner of the earth with countless of persistent nano chemicals. Oopsie
Next actions to detox plastics: - Sulphoraphane (broccoli sprouts 100x more than broccoli) - Dietary fibre (increased excretion of microplastics) - Sweating - consistent sweating (from sauna and exercise)
How much sulforaphane is in broccoli will depend on how it's prepared. For instance, cooking broccoli sous vide (in a vacuum-sealed bag) may lead to more sulforaphane compounds than boiling it would. Boiling can prevent the creation of sulforaphane compounds
Anything the Government says i just do the opposite. I recommend reading “Health and Beauty Mastery” that book is a real eye opener about shocking stuff health industry is doing! I completely changed my habits
No opinion on the book but "just do the opposite of what the government says" isnt very scientific or rational. It makes you no better than the people that blindly follow and believe the government. The best approach, but also the hardest, is to analyze each situation or claim on its own and come to your own conclusion based on information from trustworthy sources. And if you dont have time for that (which for the important subjects you do) then defer your opinion to a trustworthy source (not your favorite "guru" or political pundit) while not becoming too attached to your view and remaining ready to admit your ignorance.
@@arreanna17 God the level of ignorance. Mental health is physical health. Nothing is threatening you but the inflammation you cause in your brain by the consumption of plants. Microplastics aren't creating inflammation in the body the way sugar and carbs do. I'd say plants are more harmful than microplastics. Use your brain.
rare to find a clinical toxicologist who offers such comprehensive and practical information; long term fasting is the most effective way to clean house; to clear heavy metals consider edta (avail in suppository form); to learn detox effectively i advocate locating a clinical toxicologist experienced in these modalities to cover all the bases and ensure potential risks dont outweigh the benefits. i am very impressed with your knowledge and ability to share it; very well done
One major solution being ignored is to replace plastics into something more viable and natural and not made through chemicals that turn into microplastics that stay affecting the body and its development. Natural material is in nature. Hemp is one and even bamboo can be made as well also even sea plants or more. Replace plastic packaging with something that doesn’t remain harmful to living organisms
@@TimberWolf-c5n used to but the plastic manufacturing is way too abundant and goes to waste so the companies with all of that woud rather subsidize it to make a product they can sell instead of having to spend money in storing or recycling it responsibly

Excellent report. Btw, besides dietary fiber, possible supplements to adsorb PFAS in the gut (thus minimize absorption into the blood) are humic acid, fulvic acid, activated charcoal, bentonite clay and algae. Once in the blood and the liver, evidence suggests that folate may be helpful for detox.

There is no escape from the stupidity and negligence (form of abuse)... you try neglecting a baby and see if it dies... you do ignore and neglect the environment as much as the industrialists... you had a voice, a powerful will to evoke your local state government to preserve your safety and the safety of generations... but instead...

The only bad thing I hear about charcoal is it strips all other minerals from your body as well. I like diatomaceous earth a lot. Not enough studies on it unfortunately.
DR PATRICK still talking about broccoli sprouts all these years later. That just brought a tear to my eye. Dont forget about that mustard seed powder lol

@@AOOOOGA There are a multitude of papers. If I link the papers YT will delete my comment. You can search for this paper *"Could probiotics protect against human toxicity caused by polystyrene nanoplastics and microplastics?"* They mention several strains in particular towards the middle of the paper. Just search for "probiotics nanoplastics pubmed" or something like that, try different variations and check the citations of the paper I mentioned above. Also, melatonin and NAC/glutathione also have been shown to reduce/eliminate the toxic effects of NPs (nanoplastics). NAC replenishes intracellular glutathione, which is the master antioxidant in the body. Melatonin is actually an immunomodulator, and an incredibly powerful antioxidant. Just search "Melatonin immunomodulator pubmed" and read some papers. VitC also seems to help. Anyway, just having a hard focus on redox biology (antioxidants) and probiotics in order to get your microbiome/gut flora poppin' is crucial to overall health. Virtually alll diseases and health issues derive from cellular dysfunctions, so combatting oxidative stress/excess ROS is very important. IMF (intermittent fasting) is also a great since (among a vast array of other benefits) induces autophagy which helps clear out dysfunctional cells. So combing all of the above aforementioned has a synergistic effect that greatly benefits your health and the ability to fight toxicity. Also, your microbiome/gut is the heart of your immune system and essentially your "second brain". Very important to get your gut health poppin' with beneficial bacteria.

Thanks Rhonda, much appreciated! You are doing a trully solid job keeping the public informed and able to aid their health themselves. What is your take on lead and cadmium in chocolate and cacao?
I buy broccoli sprouts and freeze them before eating to intensify the detox effects of the sufurofane. It's 94 almost everyday in Florida for about 6 months....plenty of sweating opportunity. LOL
It doesn't make sense to use your body just to pass through fiber which doesn't get digested. One of the big causes of hemorrhoids...straining to pass large bowel movements. Fiber also physically blocks absorption of nutrients through the gut lining.
@@w1975bfiber prevents constipation, just the opposite of what you said. And good fiber is what probiotics feed on. Hemorrhoids are caused by straining, not from large stools.
Sincere thanks for Dr. Rhonda's genuine sincerity, along with real-person insights comingled with the most industrious efforts unlocking and revealing life-saving knowledge. Long may she wave 🍻 !
There is lots of research out there that shows a very similar mechanism for removing the heavy metals we consume in food through fiber. Dr. Michael Greger did at least one video on this. Perhaps you can share this research with your audience as well. Thank you for making this video, it's very helpful!
Thank you for your great nutritional information. You are so needed in this twisted world where very little truth's are presented related to these important health issues!❤
Broccoli sprouts must have their cellular walls broken by freezing before eating to access the sulforaphane. Vitamin B3 when consumed with sulforaphane is know to extend life when betaine is added
@@tarafaulkner betaine from sugar beets is the same as trymethalglycine (TMG ) . TMG removes homocysteine levels that cause heart disease. Vitamin B3 and sulforaphane increases life expectancy but the byproduct is homocysteine. Consume TMG with B3 and sulforaphane ( broccoli sprouts extract) for extended life.
Very informative, thank you! One question though, why no mention of chlorella?? I've heard it's one of the best binders to toxins in the bloodstream out there.
Our bodies are so absolutely amazing but we constantly try to find ways to try and screw it up. It’s almost like we’re deliberately working against it.
Suggest larger seeds to help cleanse the colon as well, they help get things off walls and out of the body. And our skin is our largest organ so any kind of sweat and paying attention to your water in showers/baths too are important. And moving to glass or ceramic instead of plastic bottles, bags, even utensils.
Would all these help also with air pollutants like nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulate matter per chance? I'm in a car all day and am worried about these pollutants. Love your videos and the depth you go into.
I would imagine it’d have an effect on it. In my humble opinion, I think you cannot go wrong with including broccoli sprouts and the sauna for the rest of your life. And to take it a step further, we should also be using an ice bath to contrast the sauna and dump these poisons at a more rapid rate via lymphatic system optimization. This his automatically occurs when engaging in contrast therapy.
Yes, it does. Vegetables are most nutritious when consumed raw. Light steaming is the next best thing if someone really wants to warm them up. Source is the Healthline website, et al.
Yes quite significantly. That's why broccoli sprouts are great. But you can add a little mustard powder to your meal (containing cooked cruciferous veg) and this causes some sort of reaction which means you get most or all of the sulforaphane back again :) Dr Patrick has spoken about this before, I'm no expert so best to look it up.
I’ve been taking sulfuraphane for the last 4 months and I can tell the big difference in my body and on my sleep!! It makes me have vivid dreams all night and feel full charge with energy all day, also helps me control my stress levels, my body pains have decreased a lot!! But didn’t know it helps on the BPA part!! 🎉
I wonder if some of these methods are effective with heavy metal excretion. As a chocolate lover, I am sure I have enough lead and cadmium in my system to set off a metal detector. How do I get rid of it 🤷🏻♂️?
Thanks for the great video doctor. How would people possibly know what contains PFAS? It is used in so many different places, not just plastics, It's in food wrappings, waterproof coatings for furniture, carpets clothing. Is NAC helpful and eliminating these toxins?
@@FoundMyFitnessClips Haha indeed, not to mention fiber! Also it has come up that blood donation could be a good way of reducing the free flowing forever chemicals in the blood!
I take sulforaphane everyday in supplements from do not age. I also try to get 50 grams of fiber everyday from a combination of fibers including flax, chia, psyllium and my favorite inulin. Plus fruits and vegetables.
No evidence that sulforaphane promotes goiter in iodine sufficient populations anywhere. It’s mechanistic speculation that is flatly not supported by human level evidence.
People are deficient in iodine due to the soil being stripped of it like many vitamins and minerals are depleted. Iodoral has helped many being their thyroid in balance.
@@FoundMyFitnessClips "The thiocyanates produced from glucosinolate metabolism in broccoli can competitively inhibit the NIS, thereby reducing iodine uptake by the thyroid gland. This process is known as the "Wolff-Chaikoff effect," which is a temporary block of iodine organification in the thyroid. While the body usually adapts to this inhibition, chronic or excessive exposure to goitrogenic compounds from cruciferous vegetables or supplements can overwhelm the thyroid's compensatory mechanisms, leading to reduced hormone production and goiter formation."
Great advice. But people, lets spend a fraction of the time we spend on researching microplastics on boycotting the plastic industries, we would already have what we want by now if we worked together. I mean c'mon lads and laddies, where's thy persevering energies?! And WHY is it, if industries start fucking up, we'll always take the blame and kick the bucket?!?! ENOUGH OF IT, LETS REMOVE MICROPLASTIC FROM OUR FOODS!
If PFAS is in our seafood, should the public be discouraged from eating seafood? Asian Americans in the US who eat a lot of seafood have higher PFAS levels in their blood compared to Americans of other ethnic groups.
What’s the main way of being exposed to PFAS? I eat a ton of canned sardines because they have so many health benefits but if I’m not mistaken they’re also pretty high in PFAS. It’s not clear whether or not dietary intake is the same as being exposed via air or other means
Is sulphurophane the cruciferous component that has to be cooked to not aggravate the thyroid, or is that something else? Can cooked sulpholurophane be effective at detoxifying from those toxins?
Yes. But if you heat it ,it breaks down. So adding I believe it's mustard seed will allow you to uptake it 4x more. Dr Rhonda did a video on it too. Check it out. I like to saute my broccoli,so to help in uptake i add mustard seed powdered down,with celtic sea salt. It's bomb
You lose most of the sulforaphane when the cruciferous veg is cooked. But you can add mustard powder to the meal (containing cruciferous veg) and this causes some sort of reaction where you get most or all of the sulforaphane back (or something like that).
As usual, Dr Patrick exposes harmful chemicals in a clear manner with thorough and actionable steps to reduce our intake of these metabolically disruptive substances. However, with what is now known to be harmful chemicals within most vegetables, along with the equally harmful chemicals that reside on the surface of the plant's skin, are we not trading one set of harmful chemicals for another equally harmful set?
Best to avoid any high oxalate foods, especially if exposed to them all year around. It's probably fine for a few weeks per year as you will detox from oxalates automatically once you completely cease to consume them.
Yes. Humans were detoxing before we invented brocoli. However I'm unclear of the pathways and mechanisms. But it's unlikely we get explanations on this channel as her focus is different. Need to look elsewhere.
Yep, we have a govt that is doing this to us on purpose because we have allowed illness to become dangerously profitable in America. The govt is in cahoots with the entities who are profiting from our demise and the corrupt govt is never going to save us from our corrupt govt. It is quite a pickle and we can’t vote our way out of this. I think we need to defund this cabal and shut it down.
I currently take the Broq supplement. Does anyone know if chlorella can also help detox the body? Ive been putting it in smoothies along with spirulina.
I've seen a legitimate study regarding exactly this. Donating plasma did in fact help lower PFAS levels in the blood in a cohort of firefighters with high levels. Not a panacea, but it helps.
Thanks, Rhonda. Always interesting. I've learned a lot from your videos. I hesitate to bring up something seemingly petty, but one thing that bugs me (very slightly) is the way you pronounce the word sulforaphane, with the accent on 'for.' The word actually breaks down as sulf-o-raph-ane; sulf for sulfur, 'o' is a connective, 'raphane' from Raphanus, the latin name of the genus of radishes from which the compound was first extracted. So correctly it should be sulf-o-RAPH-ane, with the accent on raph.
I appreciate being told if I’m pronouncing words incorrectly. Some of us care about speaking correctly. How rude of the other person who responded to you.
What about autophagy? Might that process break down these chemicals in our cells and, more importantly, cause them to be removed? Does autophagy assist at all?
Correct - but make sure that you also have Toxin Binders such as Pectin or Chlorella; otherwise a lot of the toxins that have been released via Autophagy will be Re-absorbed.
The problem with recommending chemicals in vegetables is that 99% of vegetables (unless you know the grower) are covered in so many other chemicals, they're essentially not worth consuming at all.
Plus all the toxins they naturally produce! Most of their nutrients aren't bioavailable anyway, unless you're a ruminant animal with the ability to break them down.

I found two promising studies for PFAS extraction:
1) You can donate plasma (not blood), which can be hard to do for some blood types.
2) Some bile binders like cholestyramine very effectively bind PFAS before it can reabsorb in the ileum.

@@MichelleR.-nk6us Thank you. I’m going to be following you down that rabbit hole!
Just as fyi -
The top five most common ways people are exposed to PFAS are:
1. Drinking contaminated water: PFAS can leach into groundwater and drinking water sources, particularly near manufacturing plants, military bases, or waste disposal sites where PFAS-containing products have been used.
2. Food packaging: PFAS are used in grease-resistant paper, fast food wrappers, microwave popcorn bags, and other packaging that prevents food from sticking.
3. Non-stick cookware: Older Teflon or other non-stick pans may contain PFAS, which can leach into food when the cookware is scratched or overheated.
4. Household products: PFAS are found in stain-resistant fabrics, water-repellent outdoor clothing, carpet treatments, and cleaning products.
5. Personal care products: Some cosmetics, including waterproof makeup, foundation, and shaving cream, contain PFAS to improve durability and spreadability.
How to mitigate risk and exposure:
1. Filter your drinking water:
• Best bang for your buck: Install a home water filter that is certified to remove PFAS, such as reverse osmosis or activated carbon filters. These can significantly reduce your exposure if your water supply is contaminated.
• Cost-effective options: Pitcher filters with activated carbon can help, but whole-home systems or under-sink reverse osmosis systems are more effective for continuous use.
2. Limit consumption of fast food and packaged foods:
• Fast food wrappers and other packaging materials are often treated with PFAS. Opt for fresh or homemade foods that don’t rely on these wrappers.
3. Avoid non-stick cookware:
• Switch to alternatives like cast iron, stainless steel, or ceramic cookware, which don’t contain PFAS. Avoid using scratched or old non-stick pans that could release PFAS during cooking.
4. Be mindful of household products:
• Choose furniture, carpets, and clothing labeled as PFAS-free or avoid items marketed as stain-resistant or waterproof. These items often contain PFAS-based treatments.
5. Check personal care products:
• Avoid cosmetics and personal care products that list “fluoro” or “perfluoro” ingredients on their labels. This is especially important for waterproof or long-lasting products that are more likely to contain PFAS.
Best overall strategy (bang for your buck): Filtering your water is probably the most effective single action you can take because water can be a significant source of PFAS exposure if it’s contaminated. Pairing this with avoiding fast food packaging and switching out non-stick cookware offers a powerful, combined approach to lowering your overall PFAS exposure without dramatically changing your lifestyle.
I did all this since 1997(18)…it all helps for sure. It’s crazy that is seems today people are finally waking up. It’s been known as unhealthy for a long time.
Thank you for such a detailed helpful list 👍
First, it was toxins and solvents , now microplastic. What's next eating bugs?
@@richardmartin2646 actually the food supply has had bugs in it forever. In fact bugs are better for you than plastic or any petroleum based item. Your comment makes me wonder what do folks read and try to know about their bodies and what they put in and on it. I’ve known most of my life that bugs are in our food supply. Even by FDA standards a certain amount of bugs and bug debris is allowed. It is almost impossible to escape. Take a class in agriculture and read up on biology and how the human body works. PLEASE ❤️
@@johnnywlittle this is the best comment i have ever read on any sm platform. You are 💯on point. As someone else pointed out this is not new information ive know this since the 70s. Thank you thank you.
However because your comment requires reading most folks still wont get it. I never wear makeup use toothpaste and most cosmetics i make my own soap. My first set of pots are cast iron I purchased them while still in college. I still have them forty years later.
My dogs wont even eat fast food. Over the years our food supply has become more filled with poisons and hormone disruptions. We are fat or sick not because of how much we eat, it is because of what is in the so called food. You deserve the SM award for the year for sharing very crucial knowledge. WE ARE NOT WORTHY!!!!🧐🙂🏆
The FDA should be doing something about plastic food packaging.
Is there a healthy alternative?
@@dfinite1111 whatever we had before plastic.
Butchers used to use paper/wax paper, but def not air-proof. Getting away from plastics seems impossible now.

You mean not living in a western civilization because plastic is everywhere, unless you own your own well, grow your own food, slaughter your own meat, make your own skin care from stuff you grow, you’re gonna be exposed all the time. Heck even rain samples from everywhere in the world has show microplastics are in the global water supply

Dr Rhonda Patrick’s service to the community is commendable.
Hemp can do two things for us, first hemp plants absorb and break down toxins in the soil including plastics and pesticides, second non toxic bio degradable plastic can be made out of hemp. We need to plant hemp everywhere. Around all lakes and rivers, around all dumps, waste facilities, factories, farm land ect. This is the key to healing all of the damage caused by plastic and all of the toxic chemicals contaminating the environment. We need to ban the manufacturing of all plastics and replace it with hemp plastic as soon as possible. We need to force the government to implement something like a two year plan where we mass plant hemp all across the country and then use that hemp to replace conventional plastics over the next 2-5 years. We need to take the money they are wasting on wars and all of that crap and use it to subsidize the hemp industry in the United States. Growing hemp doesn’t require the use of any pesticides and also growing it on our farm land will heal the damage and contamination caused by decades of pesticide spraying on the land. This is the key and we seriously need to take action today!!!
Omg I agree 1000% but you gotta wake up the sleepers from their slumber, the human race isn't gonna make if we don't clean up the mess the humans have made, mother Gaia is retaliating, we are like fleas on her back, she's tired of the humans poisoning her, and lots of natural disasters are coming, we need to fix all the damage we've done as humans to her, and it will also help us in return, I love your idea, thank you for thinking outside box, most people can't even get out of the box, awareness is key today, if you wanna survive this craziness out here, service to self is the problem in this construct, and we need to be more service to others, when we unite as humans we are unstoppable ❤
Thank you for this information; it's very interesting and encouraging. I will look for more info about hemp. Do you know of particular ways to help support the production of hemp? That would be a cause worth embracing! ❤
Yeah ! GREAT advice ! Even Henry FORD did invent a sustainable HEMP car (no joke ! ! ) then ! Almost nobody knows it !

My son had the highest amount of PFAS in his blood of any child in the United States that we know of. Nothing but time can help to get this out of his body. He started with 484,000 ppt and now is at about 175,000 since stopping exposure in 2017. I want to point out SOME PFAS have a 2 to 5 year half life but there are literally thousands of different chains and some may take longer than that. Thank you for making this video, very informative over all.

@@Tomato-ripe you can probably get a test at a lab- like almost countless other screens they can just order it and then perform it

For a while now I discarded any kind of plastic from my kitchen, all nonstick pans and pots and I never bought anything packaged in plastic or aluminum.

@@f.g00gle44Not completely. Boiling and high-heat cooking definitely can. I think what needs to be focused on more is boosting the nutritional value of our food. Amending our soil is the number one way to do that. Eating them raw is always great (with most veggies and fruits, as there are a few exceptions), but lightly sautéed or steamed is perfectly fine and can actually help make nutrients more bioavailable.

Next actions to detox plastics:
- Sulphoraphane (broccoli sprouts 100x more than broccoli)
- Dietary fibre (increased excretion of microplastics)
- Sweating - consistent sweating (from sauna and exercise)
sweating from insulin resistance, peri-and menopause ;-)
How much sulforaphane is in broccoli will depend on how it's prepared. For instance, cooking broccoli sous vide (in a vacuum-sealed bag) may lead to more sulforaphane compounds than boiling it would. Boiling can prevent the creation of sulforaphane compounds
Anything the Government says i just do the opposite. I recommend reading “Health and Beauty Mastery” that book is a real eye opener about shocking stuff health industry is doing! I completely changed my habits
I got that, it's one of the best books i've read
Thanks for sharing
At this recommendation, I just bought it. Thanks!
No opinion on the book but "just do the opposite of what the government says" isnt very scientific or rational. It makes you no better than the people that blindly follow and believe the government. The best approach, but also the hardest, is to analyze each situation or claim on its own and come to your own conclusion based on information from trustworthy sources. And if you dont have time for that (which for the important subjects you do) then defer your opinion to a trustworthy source (not your favorite "guru" or political pundit) while not becoming too attached to your view and remaining ready to admit your ignorance.
Yes!
Probably why we have so many more mental health issues than we used to
Health, our phones, and work-life balance are the main factors on our mental health.
@@arreanna17 God the level of ignorance. Mental health is physical health. Nothing is threatening you but the inflammation you cause in your brain by the consumption of plants. Microplastics aren't creating inflammation in the body the way sugar and carbs do. I'd say plants are more harmful than microplastics. Use your brain.
There are many reasons, including nutrient deficiencies (vitamins, minerals and fat, cholesterol because of lies/negative propaganda).
The mental health issues are from watching CNN and late night talk show hosts.
rare to find a clinical toxicologist who offers such comprehensive and practical information; long term fasting is the most effective way to clean house; to clear heavy metals consider edta (avail in suppository form); to learn detox effectively i advocate locating a clinical toxicologist experienced in these modalities to cover all the bases and ensure potential risks dont outweigh the benefits. i am very impressed with your knowledge and ability to share it; very well done
Iodine also binds with and helps detox heavy metals. Deficiency in iodine is widespread.
Flax seeds are good for cleaning the intestines. Flax seed oil and hemp seeds and oil is also a good choice or combine both
One major solution being ignored is to replace plastics into something more viable and natural and not made through chemicals that turn into microplastics that stay affecting the body and its development.
Natural material is in nature. Hemp is one and even bamboo can be made as well also even sea plants or more. Replace plastic packaging with something that doesn’t remain harmful to living organisms
Yes! Most underrated comment on TH-cam!
I wish more food manufacturers would utilize glass containers.
@@TimberWolf-c5n used to but the plastic manufacturing is way too abundant and goes to waste so the companies with all of that woud rather subsidize it to make a product they can sell instead of having to spend money in storing or recycling it responsibly

Excellent report. Btw, besides dietary fiber, possible supplements to adsorb PFAS in the gut (thus minimize absorption into the blood) are humic acid, fulvic acid, activated charcoal, bentonite clay and algae. Once in the blood and the liver, evidence suggests that folate may be helpful for detox.
Also zeolite

But after your report, I feel a glimmer of hope. Glad I stumbled across your channel. Subscribed!
It's wild you didnt mention probiotics. They eat microplastics. You can find a few papers on pubmed.
Which probiotics?
@@AOOOOGA There are a multitude of papers. If I link the papers YT will delete my comment.
You can search for this paper
*"Could probiotics protect against human toxicity caused by polystyrene nanoplastics and microplastics?"*
They mention several strains in particular towards the middle of the paper.
Just search for "probiotics nanoplastics pubmed" or something like that, try different variations and check the citations of the paper I mentioned above.
Also, melatonin and NAC/glutathione also have been shown to reduce/eliminate the toxic effects of NPs (nanoplastics). NAC replenishes intracellular glutathione, which is the master antioxidant in the body.
Melatonin is actually an immunomodulator, and an incredibly powerful antioxidant. Just search "Melatonin immunomodulator pubmed" and read some papers.
VitC also seems to help.
Anyway, just having a hard focus on redox biology (antioxidants) and probiotics in order to get your microbiome/gut flora poppin' is crucial to overall health.
Virtually alll diseases and health issues derive from cellular dysfunctions, so combatting oxidative stress/excess ROS is very important.
IMF (intermittent fasting) is also a great since (among a vast array of other benefits) induces autophagy which helps clear out dysfunctional cells.
So combing all of the above aforementioned has a synergistic effect that greatly benefits your health and the ability to fight toxicity.
Also, your microbiome/gut is the heart of your immune system and essentially your "second brain". Very important to get your gut health poppin' with beneficial bacteria.
@@AOOOOGA TH-cam deleted my lengthy response. That's nice.
*"Could probiotics protect against human toxicity caused by polystyrene nanoplastics and microplastics?"*
Search for this paper, they mention several strains towards the middle. This is one of many papers, just keyword search "nanoplastics probiotics" or "microplastics probiotics" and start digging. I think YT deleted my comment bc I mentioned a popular medical journal, but if you put a medical journal in the search term(s) after the keywords it will give you research papers. Try "microplastics probiotics pubmed".
Without having to write everything out again...
TL;DR melatonin is an immunomodulator and powerful antioxidant that can help with eliminating NPs/MPs (nano/microplastics); NAC/glutathione can, too. NAC replenishes intracellular glutathione; glutathione is the master antioxidant in the body.
IMF (intermittent fasting) induces autophagy (amongst a vast array of other benefits) that helps provide synergy with managing oxidative stress.
Your microbiome/gut is the heart of your immune system and essentially our "second brain". Very important to eat a variety of fermented foods to have beneficial bacteria for your gut flora.
All of the aforementioned work in tandem to combat oxidative stress/excess ROS and have a synergistic effect together.
Virtually all diseases and illnesses derive from cellular dysfunctions, so have a hard focus on redox biology (antioxidants) + probiotics+ IMF tips the scales in your favor greatly when it comes to overall health and combating toxicity.
Everything else mentioned in the video + the above aforementioned will help tremendously.

large bowel movements and sweating are hands down the best natural detoxifiers
It doesn't make sense to use your body just to pass through fiber which doesn't get digested. One of the big causes of hemorrhoids...straining to pass large bowel movements. Fiber also physically blocks absorption of nutrients through the gut lining.
@@w1975bfiber prevents constipation, just the opposite of what you said.
And good fiber is what probiotics feed on.
Hemorrhoids are caused by straining, not from large stools.

Broccoli sprouts must have their cellular walls broken by freezing before eating to access the sulforaphane. Vitamin B3 when consumed with sulforaphane is know to extend life when betaine is added
Can u explain this alittle better like how do u add what to what and what is betaine
@@tarafaulkner betaine from sugar beets is the same as trymethalglycine (TMG ) . TMG removes homocysteine levels that cause heart disease. Vitamin B3 and sulforaphane increases life expectancy but the byproduct is homocysteine. Consume TMG with B3 and sulforaphane ( broccoli sprouts extract) for extended life.
Love Rhonda. She is such a good researcher.
Very informative, thank you!
One question though, why no mention of chlorella?? I've heard it's one of the best binders to toxins in the bloodstream out there.
I think it’s good for other things but not sure about PFAS
Absolutely.
Will you recommend specific supplements, mgs, and specific brands of supplements?
Just do a google search for Sulforaphane and then do your research via reviews, ingredient list, etc.

Suggest larger seeds to help cleanse the colon as well, they help get things off walls and out of the body. And our skin is our largest organ so any kind of sweat and paying attention to your water in showers/baths too are important. And moving to glass or ceramic instead of plastic bottles, bags, even utensils.

In my humble opinion, I think you cannot go wrong with including broccoli sprouts and the sauna for the rest of your life. And to take it a step further, we should also be using an ice bath to contrast the sauna and dump these poisons at a more rapid rate via lymphatic system optimization. This his automatically occurs when engaging in contrast therapy.
Great vid as usual! Do you have a specific sulfurophane brand that you could recommend?
Thanks!!!❤
Does cooking cruciferous vegetables affect the amount of sulforaphane availble or should they be consumed raw?
Yes, it does. Vegetables are most nutritious when consumed raw. Light steaming is the next best thing if someone really wants to warm them up. Source is the Healthline website, et al.
Broccoli micro greens. Raw. 100 times more
Yes quite significantly. That's why broccoli sprouts are great. But you can add a little mustard powder to your meal (containing cooked cruciferous veg) and this causes some sort of reaction which means you get most or all of the sulforaphane back again :) Dr Patrick has spoken about this before, I'm no expert so best to look it up.
It's important to note that only the sprouts have any meaningful levels. It's not achievable by eating broccoli as a veg
I’ve been taking sulfuraphane for the last 4 months and I can tell the big difference in my body and on my sleep!! It makes me have vivid dreams all night and feel full charge with energy all day, also helps me control my stress levels, my body pains have decreased a lot!! But didn’t know it helps on the BPA part!! 🎉
Where do u get this stuff and how to u ingest it? I need to dream and sleep.more.soooo bad
Dr. Patrick, would fasting help to cleanse the Pfas chemicals? Are they fat soluble by chance?
That's a pretty decent thought since lots of those plastic chemicals can put do mimic hormones, which are fat based.
If fat soluble, wouldn't they be stored by the body?
@@julierahn6932 That's the idea!

I take sulforaphane everyday in supplements from do not age. I also try to get 50 grams of fiber everyday from a combination of fibers including flax, chia, psyllium and my favorite inulin. Plus fruits and vegetables.
I used Sulphorophane, but no more. It contains two compounds that trigger goiters in the thyroid if consumed for too long. Lesson learned.
No evidence that sulforaphane promotes goiter in iodine sufficient populations anywhere. It’s mechanistic speculation that is flatly not supported by human level evidence.
People are deficient in iodine due to the soil being stripped of it like many vitamins and minerals are depleted. Iodoral has helped many being their thyroid in balance.
@@FoundMyFitnessClips "The thiocyanates produced from glucosinolate metabolism in broccoli can competitively inhibit the NIS, thereby reducing iodine uptake by the thyroid gland. This process is known as the "Wolff-Chaikoff effect," which is a temporary block of iodine organification in the thyroid. While the body usually adapts to this inhibition, chronic or excessive exposure to goitrogenic compounds from cruciferous vegetables or supplements can overwhelm the thyroid's compensatory mechanisms, leading to reduced hormone production and goiter formation."

Not if they're made of Plastic or plastic derived ingredients; because Plastics 'Off Gas' when heated!
But how much broccoli sprouts do you need to get the effect? Recommended daily dose?
2 gallons😂
I have half a cup daily in my smoothie.
oh man. 2 gallons is gonna be tough.
You've been really helpful lately, doc. Cheers!
If PFAS is in our seafood, should the public be discouraged from eating seafood? Asian Americans in the US who eat a lot of seafood have higher PFAS levels in their blood compared to Americans of other ethnic groups.
it's everywhere, not only in seafood. Even vegetarians have substantial amounts of PFAS in their blood.
Sea food is worse generally, fish live in toxic soup. The whole world is dumping toxic waste in waterways
What’s the main way of being exposed to PFAS? I eat a ton of canned sardines because they have so many health benefits but if I’m not mistaken they’re also pretty high in PFAS. It’s not clear whether or not dietary intake is the same as being exposed via air or other means
Non stick cookware, flame retardants on furniture and clothing, stuff like that
Is sulphurophane the cruciferous component that has to be cooked to not aggravate the thyroid, or is that something else?
Can cooked sulpholurophane be effective at detoxifying from those toxins?
Yes. But if you heat it ,it breaks down. So adding I believe it's mustard seed will allow you to uptake it 4x more. Dr Rhonda did a video on it too. Check it out. I like to saute my broccoli,so to help in uptake i add mustard seed powdered down,with celtic sea salt. It's bomb
Very cool!!
@@LarryBird_very cool!
You lose most of the sulforaphane when the cruciferous veg is cooked. But you can add mustard powder to the meal (containing cruciferous veg) and this causes some sort of reaction where you get most or all of the sulforaphane back (or something like that).
Thank you for this doc!!! This is super important information you’re putting out there 🙏
What about 1 table spoon of moringa powder each day?
As usual, Dr Patrick exposes harmful chemicals in a clear manner with thorough and actionable steps to reduce our intake of these metabolically disruptive substances. However, with what is now known to be harmful chemicals within most vegetables, along with the equally harmful chemicals that reside on the surface of the plant's skin, are we not trading one set of harmful chemicals for another equally harmful set?
TMI but my pee kinda burns after a broccoli sprout smoothie. I’ve always wondered if it’s because the detoxification of the sulphoraphane itself.
probably due to a load of oxalate crystals you are peeing out. Be careful with smoothies that contain high oxalate vegetables
I second the oxolate thing. I had similar and had to tweak my recipe.
Oxilates are sharp tiny crystals like smaller kidney stones, for real
Best to avoid any high oxalate foods, especially if exposed to them all year around. It's probably fine for a few weeks per year as you will detox from oxalates automatically once you completely cease to consume them.
Thanks you.
Optimizing glutathione through amino acids will do this as well.
Yes. Humans were detoxing before we invented brocoli. However I'm unclear of the pathways and mechanisms. But it's unlikely we get explanations on this channel as her focus is different. Need to look elsewhere.
1. Broccoli and Brussel Sprouts
2. Dietary fiber
3. Sweating via sauna or workouts
We are all screwed.
Yep, we have a govt that is doing this to us on purpose because we have allowed illness to become dangerously profitable in America. The govt is in cahoots with the entities who are profiting from our demise and the corrupt govt is never going to save us from our corrupt govt. It is quite a pickle and we can’t vote our way out of this. I think we need to defund this cabal and shut it down.
I currently take the Broq supplement. Does anyone know if chlorella can also help detox the body? Ive been putting it in smoothies along with spirulina.
How about donating plasma or whole blood?
@@emphyrio2566how did you quantify that?
Sensible, great minds think alike.
Donating blood means you make new blood. Like an oil change lol.
I've seen a legitimate study regarding exactly this. Donating plasma did in fact help lower PFAS levels in the blood in a cohort of firefighters with high levels. Not a panacea, but it helps.
Couldn’t hurt!
Finally some good news against the fight.🎉
Thanks, Rhonda. Always interesting. I've learned a lot from your videos. I hesitate to bring up something seemingly petty, but one thing that bugs me (very slightly) is the way you pronounce the word sulforaphane, with the accent on 'for.' The word actually breaks down as sulf-o-raph-ane; sulf for sulfur, 'o' is a connective, 'raphane' from Raphanus, the latin name of the genus of radishes from which the compound was first extracted. So correctly it should be sulf-o-RAPH-ane, with the accent on raph.
🙄 there's always that person. Get over it.
@@sportsbrainofficialif I am not pronouncing a word correctly, I appreciate being told! It’s called constructive criticism.
I appreciate being told if I’m pronouncing words incorrectly. Some of us care about speaking correctly. How rude of the other person who responded to you.
Wow, just be thankful you can hear her at all…
@@sportsbrainofficial
Imagine being this offended by facts. 🤦🏻♂️
What about autophagy? Might that process break down these chemicals in our cells and, more importantly, cause them to be removed? Does autophagy assist at all?
Correct - but make sure that you also have Toxin Binders such as Pectin or Chlorella; otherwise a lot of the toxins that have been released via Autophagy will be Re-absorbed.
The problem with recommending chemicals in vegetables is that 99% of vegetables (unless you know the grower) are covered in so many other chemicals, they're essentially not worth consuming at all.
Exactly !
Now adays living in hot climate is the best decision we can make to remove of toxins and go carnivore to have obtimal health
Sorry but as a matter of daily FACT my body likes vegetables.
I would not put dressing with seed oil and added sugar on that salad though ...
Plus all the toxins they naturally produce! Most of their nutrients aren't bioavailable anyway, unless you're a ruminant animal with the ability to break them down.
😂😂@@martinep6293
Broccoli doesn’t absorb much chemicals. It usually on the list of “least contaminated” .
Always valuable content in this channel
Have to wonder about toothbrushes..
Good damned point.
Thank you very much for this doctor - it is greatly appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
We need a mass movement about this.

Huge Appreciation 😊😊😊
What about regular blood donation
Interesting question. I hope it gets the attention of Dr. Patrick, and we can hear a response.
Sooo fibre is Good, yay some Vegetables 🥦 are beneficial!
Does The SAUNA (sweating) push up Cortisol levels ?
If a person’s Cortisol is already High?
Doesn't Moringa have a lot of of Suphuraphane?
It absolutely does, but not directly. It’s converted to sulfurafane.
@@captainadams7569good to know!
Brocolis sprouts, Moringa, endives and Radish are the best sources
