You might have heard of PFAS, a synthetic chemical found in legacy firefighting foams, non-stick pans, carpets, clothes and stain- or water-resistant materials and paints.
PFAS stands for "per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances." These molecules, made up of chains of carbon and fluorine atoms, are nicknamed "forever chemicals" because they don't degrade in our bodies.
There is global concern about PFAS because they accumulate in our bodies over time.
There was no way to reduce the amount of PFAS found in the body—until now.
Our new randomized clinical trial, has found regularly donating blood or plasma can reduce blood PFAS levels.
Research from has found that the concentration of PFAS in a person's blood can be reduced if that person regularly donates blood or plasma.
The trial aimed to find out whether plasma or blood removal are effective strategies for reducing serum PFAS concentrations.
Both blood and plasma donation resulted in significantly lower PFAS chemicals than the control group, and these differences were maintained three months later.
Plasma donation was most effective, resulting in a roughly 30% decrease in average blood serum PFAS concentrations over the 12-month trial period.
Reductions in PFAS levels from blood or plasma donations may be because PFAS are bound to proteins primarily found in the serum; many other organic pollutants are bound to fats.
The finding that plasma was more effective than blood donation might be because firefighters in the plasma donation group donated blood every six weeks, whereas those in the blood donation group donated every 12 weeks.
In addition, each plasma donation can amount to as much as 800mL compared with 470mL for whole blood.
Plasma PFAS concentrations are also about two times higher than blood PFAS concentrations, which could make plasma donation more efficient at reducing the body burden of PFAS chemicals.

Blood donations are a good thing to do and if you have time, apheresis (spinning out blood components) can be even more helpful.
I have done both.
Donating blood also helps to clear excess iron, which can do far more damage than PCBs. Postmenopausal women and adult men of all ages run the risk of accumulating iron, especially damaging to the organs.
Will it work for the Covid vaccinations?
The effect should be multiplicative (3 times effect is .7 x .7 x .7 = 34.3% versus 10.0%.)
I wonder if anyone will develop something for cleansing blood of of Covid impact.
Red Cross says we can’t donate.
Mad Moo regs.
What happens when a China virus “vax”d donates blood? Does the recipient receive the dangerous spike proteins?

Have you noticed that
groups at higher risk for the wuhan coronavirus have more stored iron
?
Maybe there is some benefit to bloodletting after all

It’s one of the most important and beneficial things one can do. Read about stored iron in scientific publications.
“Does the recipient receive the dangerous spike proteins?”
Good question. I have wondered about that as well.
After all the Vax bullshit, why am I not surprised that Bleeding is now in vogue.
I use to give all the time. Now I’m on blood thinner and can’t.
Can I give plasma, perhaps
Bring back the leeches.
“...apheresis (spinning out blood components) can be even more helpful.”
Helpful to giver or receiver?
I give blood @ 4 times a year, but have never done apheresis
You beat me to it.
There was a Platelet shortage when I had AML 6 years ago. My platelets at times were between 1 to 4 (low normal is 150) and I was bed bound waiting for transfusions. (Bed bound because if I fell while out of bed, I would have bled internally). So, I was getting platelets and blood transfusions often. Probably roughly 50-70 both combined over 6 months
Apparently the shortage is worse now. I wish they could do something to clean up the blood. God bless you for donating. Please know that you are truly saving lives. Perhaps even mine.
