How To Detox Microplastics That Sneak Into Your Body

Quick Read:

The toxic plastic in your throwaway water bottle and takeout containers is sneaking its way into your body. So are the tiny, hidden plastics in your air, fish, beauty products, water… they are everywhere you are. Labs have found microplastics in breast milk, organs, blood, livers, digestive tracts, and even placentas. (Study [1]) One woman in the Breast Cancer Conqueror community even reported that during her first EBOO therapy session [2], they had to stop and clean out the machine due to clogging from microplastics! 

You can’t see them. You can’t taste them. But clearly they’re there, and silently working against your healing efforts. Continue reading to learn about microplastics, why you should avoid them, and how to effectively eliminate them from your body.

What Are Microplastics?

Microplastics are exactly what they sound like—tiny plastic particles, usually smaller than 5 millimeters in size (some are so small they’re called nanoplastics). These come from the breakdown of larger plastic waste, as well as from everyday items like:

These microscopic invaders are now everywhere—in our oceans, soil, drinking water, food supply, and, of course, your body. 

Here’s how they sneak in:

Once in the body, these particles don’t just “pass through,” they set up camp, triggering a host of horrible responses.

Why You Should Be Concerned About Microplastics.

Let’s connect the dots.

Microplastics often contain or attract endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), dioxins, and PCBs. These chemical hitchhikers may contribute to cancer development in a number of ways, including:

Clearly, these tiny and toxic plastics have got to go!

How to Reduce Your Microplastic Exposure.

If you are feeling overwhelmed at this point, remember the goal is progress, not perfection. It’s not realistic to live in a glass bubble, but it’s doable to make simple swaps that reduce your plastic exposure. 

Can You Detoxify Microplastics from Your Body?

Yes—and your body wants (and needs) to get rid of them ASAP. However, your pathways do need support because they were not designed to be bombarded with an onslaught of microplastics and toxins 24/7. 

Here are a few ways you can detox from microplastics:modifiedcitruspectin_breastcancerhealing [13]

    1. Bust out toxins with binders: Activated charcoal, bentonite clay, or chlorella can help escort toxins out of the body. The binder our coaches suggest is Modified Citrus Pectin [13]. It’s a highly effective binder, and it supports your healing in several ways: reducing fatigue, optimizing treatments, promoting apoptosis, and more. You’ll learn about these benefits and others in this blog post. [14]
    2. Get sweaty with infrared sauna sessions: Sweating through saunas (especially infrared) is one of the best ways to push out fat-stored toxins like plasticizers. For more insight into saunas and the type we suggest, please review this blog post. [15]
    3. Eat fiber-rich, cruciferous veggies: Broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts support liver detox and estrogen metabolism. For a highly effective way to consume one of the most helpful nutrients in broccoli, take our Brocco Power supplement [16] daily. One capsule is equal to 500 grams of fresh broccoli!
    4. Support your methylation pathways: Use targeted supplements like Methyl Support [17] to optimize gene expression and estrogen detox.
    5. Do coffee enemas: They are one of Dr. V’s go-to detox methods, and you can use our step-by-step guide here [18]
    6. Consciously lower stress levels: Chronic stress slows detox and increases inflammation. Learn specific ways to manage your stress via this blog post. [19]
