Microplastics (MP's) are almost impossible to avoid. They are everywhere! However, there are natural binders that can impact the amount of MP's in the body.
Fiber: the average American gets about 14 grams of fiber per day. The recommended amount is 25-35 grams per day. Regular, daily bowel movements will help eliminate MP's. Supplementing with psyllium can help get the recommended amount of daily fiber.
Probiotics: play a huge role in the ability of the body to break down MP's. Yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi are great sources of probiotics. Supplementing with saccharomyces Boulardii can have an impact on binding MP's.
A healthy gut lining will make it difficult for MP's to get absorbed into the gut lining. Oats, barley, quinoa, and wheat bran provide both soluble and insoluble fiber. Wheat bran especially offers porous structures ideal for binding toxins. Aim for organic grains to avoid the problems posed by round-up (glyphosate).
Apples, pears, berries, oranges, and bananas are fiber-rich and packed with antioxidants. The soluble pectins in fruits ferment into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that boost gut health.
Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, leafy greens, carrots, and sweet potatoes deliver a range of fibers that nourish your microbiome.
Lentils, chickpeas, beans, and peas are fiber powerhouses that enhance microbiome diversity and produce anti-inflammatory short chain fatty acids.
Chia seeds, flaxseeds, h**p seeds, and almonds add fiber, healthy fats, and micronutrients for gut and systemic health.
Okra & Fenugreek: These are considered the most effective plant-based materials for removing microplastics (up to 90%), particularly when used as a mixture.
Chlorella: helps bind MP's. Its best taken on an empty stomach.
Zeolite or activated charcoal, as these nutrients move through the digestive track they are collecting the toxins. Be aware that activated charcoal might turn your stool black.
Anit-oxidants: turmeric, olive leaf extract, green tea leaf extract, black seed oil, burdock, rishi mushrooms, diathermanous earth, milk thistle all help to bind the MP's.
Humic and fulvic acids exhibit high adsorption affinities to various microplastics, particularly polyolefins like polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE).
If you need help navigating the microplastic removal, give the office a call and we will get you on the path to better health.
This list is not inclusive of all microplastic binding products.

If you want to understand the impact of microplastics on your health, please watch the Netflix movie, "The Plastic Detox".
Humans consume roughly 5 grams of microplastics weekly—about a credit card's worth—through food, water, and air. These particles (1–5000 m) accumulate in body tissues, including the gut, liver, kidneys, and blood. Recent studies even suggest substantial amounts (up to 7g) exist in human brains, with concentrations increasing over time.
Microplastics are found in bottled water, seafood, table salt, and indoor air. Look at your cutting boards, cooking utensils, storage containers, mixing bowls. Just about every health and beauty aid comes in a plastic container. These contaminants are linked to potential health issues, including cell damage, inflammation, oxidative stress, and potential cancer risks. The movie The Plastic Detox focuses on fertility.
There are many natural microplastic chelators that might lower the burden of microplastics.

Once again, nature provides us with ingredients to help us feel better.
When using essential oils topically it's best to use with a carrier oil to prevent skin irritation.
If taking coconut oil please start with a small amount, i.e., 1/2 to 1 teaspoon. Too much at the start can have a cleansing effect of your GI track unless that's the benefit you are looking for.
Stimulating the gallbladder with lemon oil could benefit so many people. The Standard American Diet has a tendency to cause the bile to become sludge=gallbladder issues.
It is recommended that one take a castor oil saturated cotton ball to the belly button covered with a bandage at bedtime to help with regularity. Best if one rubs the castor oil around the belly button to increase the effectiveness of the castor oil.
Tree tea oil on the scalp can help prevent head lice infestation for school ages children. Some folks add a few drops to the shampoo. Can't hurt, might help.
Peppermint oil rubbed at the upper belly can help with indigestion and when rubbed at the base of the skull can help with a migraine.
Once you become familiar with; the oils you can use them to your advantage.

I am so glad to see the new food pyramid.
Ideally eating 8 cups of vegetables per day using the colors of the rainbow to get the most nutrients from the foods would be best. Organic is preferred, look for the labels indicating glyphosate free. Your belly, thyroid, joints and brain, to name a few systems of the body, will thank you.
Our cell membranes need healthy fats. Avocado, olive, coconut, butter are good sources of healthy oils. Stay away from the seed oils that are made up of linolenic acid. This type of oil stays in the cells for up to 7 years, contributing to oxidation of the cell membranes.
If possible, buy organic beef, chicken, lamb and wild caught fish products. Avoid prepacked, processed foods.
It is challenging to buy wholesome food these days. It seems that everything is contaminated with glyphosate: the air, water
and soil. There are some binders that we can take to pull the nasties out of our system and supportive supplements to undo the damage from said offenders.

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in many foods. Vitamin A is important for normal vision, the immune system, reproduction, and growth and development. Vitamin A also helps your heart, lungs, and other organs work properly. https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminA-Consumer/
Bile acids are required for proper absorption of dietary lipids, including fat-soluble vitamins. If you or a loved one has had the gallbladder removed, it might be necessary to take supplement like ox bile or other related supplements to absorb the vitamin A and the other fat-soluble vitamins. A, D, E and K are fat soluble vitamins. Consuming a fatty food when taking the fat-soluble vitamins makes for better absorption also.

The human body is like a fine-tuned orchestra. Nutrients need each other to perform the delicate balance necessary for health.
If you take Vitamin D, it's best to take it in the morning with a fatty food for better absorption. Vitamin K is like the little brother to Vitamin D. Best taken together. Too much calcium has been shown to contribute to stiffening of the arteries, thus the need for magnesium. Some studies indicate that it's best to take calcium in the morning and magnesium in the evening. This schedule might also help you relax for better sleep. If taking Vitamin B6 alone, take it with dinner, it helps make serotonin, which also helps with sleep. Vitamin B6 plus magnesium = sweet dreams! Zinc and copper are also tightly connected. One needs far more Zinc than they need copper. Again, balance. All fat-soluble vitamins: Vitamins A, E, D and K need fatty foods for better absorption. B vitamins are essential for energy production. If your homocysteine levels are high, you need B6, B12 and Folate. Selenium huge for thyroid function. Eat 2-3 Brazilian nuts daily and you have the RDA for the day. If you feel like you're coming down with something Vitamin A and zinc will stimulate your immune system to fight off the bug.
Again, our body is like a fine-tuned orchestra that needs all the players to be in balance for health.

Cholesterol has been demonized and blamed for a host of health issues. Cholesterol is vital to our health.
Cholesterol Benefits:
-it makes up the cell membrane structure and supports cellular function and repair
-mitochondrial function, the powerhouse of energy production!
-cholesterol is a precursor to hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, DHEA, aldosterone. Studies have shown that competitive sports women whose cholesterol levels drops below 150 stop having a menstrual cycle. There isn't enough cholesterol to make the s*x hormones. When the body is stressed the s*x hormones are the first to be sacrificed, the body goes into survival mood and reproduction is put on hold.
-activates the release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, GABA and dopamine that help you to feel happy, calm and think straight
-necessary for a healthy nervous system (an essential fuel for neurons). Cholesterol lines the myelin sheath, acting as an insulator. In MS, the myelin sheath is damaged.
-Cholesterol makes the bile acid that in turn gets rid of old circulating cholesterol
-protection from infections by serving as a cell membrane component and signaling molecule, influencing immune cell activation and responses,
-Cholesterol and inflammation have a complex, bidirectional link, where high LDL ("bad") cholesterol accumulation triggers inflammation, and chronic inflammation can worsen cholesterol issues, both significantly increasing risks for heart disease, stroke, and metabolic problems like atherosclerosis. Cholesterol buildup in arteries promotes immune responses, leading to plaque formation, while inflammation itself damages arteries, making cholesterol more harmful. Reminds me of a dog chasing its tail. Cause and effect. Cholesterol is attempting to patch up the inflamed tissues by laying down a coating to protect the blood vessels. The culprit is what is causing the inflammation, cholesterol gets blamed for plaquing of the arteries.
-cholesterol is used in vitamin D production and is necessary for the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins: Vitamins A, D, E and K
-a powerful repair substance that controls free radial damage and oxidation
it’s vital to healthy brain and neurocognitive function (the brain is the most cholesterol-rich organ in the body)
What causes high cholesterol?
-A diet high in processed carbohydrates, sugar, alcohol, rancid vegetable oils, hydrogenated fats, and overly processed foods, i.e. the Standard American Diet, (SAD indeed!)
-Dehydration
-Inflammation overload
-Congested sticky bile, gallbladder dysfunction, and a sluggish liver
-Insulin resistance and poorly managed diabetes
-Infections (dental infections, parasites, yeast, Candida overgrowth, bacterial)
-Genetics
-Leaky gut, digestive dysfunction
-Environmental toxicity due to heavy metals, pesticides, glyphosate, or other toxic chemicals and contaminants
-Low thyroid function (hypothyroid) and overactive adrenals
-Mental, emotional and physical stress can also influence cholesterol levels.
If you need some assistance with your cholesterol levels give the office a call and let's discover what is stressing your body.
Something to ask your P*P about: Coronary Calcium Score imaging. It shows how much or how little calcification you have in your coronary arteries. Perhaps a high score will be enough to make you become proactive and make some major lifestyle changes.

The human body can be very telling of nutrient deficiency if you know what to look for. Dark circles under the eyes can also be a sign of thyroid issues or parasites. Ruptured blood vessels in the eyes can be a sign of entrapped blood vessels from tight muscles at the base of the skull. Muscle cramping can also be a sign of electrolyte imbalances. Bumps on the back of arms can be a sign of essential fatty acids, (fish oils). In the mouth, canker sores can be a sign of food sensitivity especially to wheat, (gluten). Excessive ear wax can be a sign of vitamin A deficiency. Often times while at the check-out counter I will notice the cashier's fingernails full of white streaks and I am so temped to ask if they have issues with their cycles. White streaks on the nails can also be a sign of hormonal imbalance. Indentations on the sides of the tongue can be an issue with blood sugar imbalance. A heavily white coated tongue can be fungal overgrowth or issues with the digestive track. So much information on your health status if you know what you are looking at.

Histamine, we associate this word with allergies. However, it's much more than a drippy nose and lots of sneezing.
A quick way to determine if histamine is affecting your health is to do a scratch test. Simply scratch your forearm and wait a few seconds to see if a red line appears over the scratch. If one appears I'd be looking at the DAO genetic variant. In this situation your body cannot break down histamine, consequence, histamine overload which can present itself with lots of symptoms as noted below.
There are outside-the-body stressors, like mold and mycotoxins that can further your body's reaction to histamine. And then, sorry, the foods that are high in histamine. If you or a loved one is experiencing the symptoms listed below or your scratch test is positive, give the office a call to schedule an appointment for an evaluation.

Parsley contains two unique compounds: apigenin and falcarinol. A study from the Ohio State University reveals that apigenin interacts with approximately 160 proteins in the body. This remarkable trait allows it to exert a broad range of beneficial effects. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs that often target a single molecule, apigenin works on many parts of a cell. According to PubMed studies: “It triggers cancer cell death, stops cancer growth, and it stops their migration.”

What makes it even more effective is its incredibly high apigenin content. Parsley has ten times the apigenin in celery and kumquats, which are both considered high in apigenin. And surprisingly, dried parsley has over 20 times the apigenin in fresh parsley.

Falcarinol, another remarkable compound found in parsley, acts as a natural pesticide plants produce to protect themselves. This natural defense compound can cause abnormal cells to behave normally.

Thanks to parsley’s rich falcarinol content, it can benefit all the body’s cells. Surprisingly, parsley surpasses other vegetables like carrots and parsnips in falcarinol content. Parsley contains four times more falcarinol than parsnips and seven times more than carrots.
Tabbouleh is an excellent way to get a healthy serving of parsley.
