PFAS and Microplastic

PFAS and microplastics are two types of contaminants that have received increasing attention due to their potential impacts on human health and the environment.

PFAS, or Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, are a group of man-made chemicals that include PFOA, PFOS, GenX, and many other substances. PFAS have been manufactured and used in a variety of industries around the globe since the 1940s. They're used in a wide range of products because of their ability to resist heat, water, and oil. This includes non-stick cookware, water-repellent clothing, stain-resistant fabrics and carpets, some cosmetics, and products that resist grease, water, and oil. They're often referred to as "forever chemicals" because they can persist in the environment and in the human body for long periods of time.

Microplastics, on the other hand, are tiny pieces of plastic less than five millimeters in length, or about the size of a sesame seed. They come from a variety of sources, including larger plastic debris that degrades into smaller and smaller pieces. Additionally, microbeads, a type of microplastic, are tiny pieces of polyethylene plastic added to health and beauty products, such as some cleansers and toothpastes. These tiny particles easily pass through water filtration systems and end up in the ocean and Great Lakes, posing a potential threat to aquatic life.

Both PFAS and microplastics have been found widely in the environment, in wildlife, and in humans. They're concerning because they're very persistent, meaning they don't break down in the environment or in the body, and they can accumulate over time. Some PFAS substances and microplastics have been linked to a range of health effects in humans and animals, including endocrine disruption and cancer, although more research is needed to fully understand these impacts.

A study published in Environmental Science & Technology in 2019  suggested that the average person might ingest approximately 5 grams of  plastic per week (the weight of a credit card), but how much of this stays in the body is not well understood. Some sources estimate around 3% of that microplastic never leaves the body or stays there for many years.

The purpose of this file is to instruct your body to get rid of permanent PFAS and microplastic particles in your body, with a boosted regeneration to the organs and pathways involved on this process.
