From what ive seen it kinda works, but its not really the dialysis itself. Since dialysis patients are being stabbed a couple times a week, the inevitable bits of blood loss build up over time, making it similar to bloodletting.
Nawww humans are hard to get rid of, more than likely some fkn eskimo group is going to have some weird gene that happens to make them extra resilient to PFAS, and they'll be more productive than other groups.
lol i got fucked up by USAF firefighting contamination too but i just have fucked up stomach diseases not canceraids. maybe in the future though
Anything I ought to look out for with that? My grandfather had it and it got him.
Ask CTR, he'll vouch for my schitzoposting
all i really know is outdated firefighting equipment contaminated the ground water, was Australian, but imagine we had similar to you guys
I only had blood let after i was clear post SCT due to excess ironFrom what ive seen it kinda works, but its not really the dialysis itself. Since dialysis patients are being stabbed a couple times a week, the inevitable bits of blood loss build up over time, making it similar to bloodletting.
In the blood, PFAS mostly bonds to albumin, a protein. And since dialysis is trying to filter out larger molecule toxins while conserving proteins, blood cells, etc. Most PFAS slips through the net.
Also funny enough leeches are indeed used in modern medicine, mostly to remove pooled blood from reattached limbs and such.

Or we'll all just eventually evolve ways to filter out PFAS naturally within our bodies, but thats thinking very long term. Id rather try some solutions now
Also whoever put the thread in the front page rotation thing thanks so much
isnt hairspray more of an isssue regarding ozone?
the graft vs host post stem cell transplant gives me heartburn often
its rng
yeah and the ozone disappearing is disastrously bad for every living thing on the planet, hence why I doubt microplastics have the capacity to be as existentially dangerous as that
dont notice any difference curently living close to the hole in south Australia
The hole isn't formed at this time of year regardless but my point wasn't that the world was destroyed by 70s propellant, my point was that damaging the ozone as much as we did and as much as we could have if we didn't internationally agree to stop doing it was a much greater danger to humanity's welfare than microplastics probably are
i have gotten leukemia, but havent suffered from skin cancer yet, i have noticed i sunburn faster without noticing, but i put that to moving from the subtropics to a temperate climate. I know im closer to the hole, but dont know if i am actually below it
I mean when you compare it to all of us burning to death, yeah its not as immediate a crisis, but you still avoid asbestos even though it wont burn your skin off, right? PFAS presents a slow burning, nefarious kind of threat over the long term. And just like with asbestos in the 50s, we're putting it in everything because its economical and damn the consequences.
