Albumin acts as the body’s sponge, moving through the bloodstream and tissues to carry toxins back to the liver for removal. In todays modern world, many toxins don’t clear easily and instead recirculate, building up in the body over time.

Plasmapheresis removes toxins bound to albumin, including microplastics, heavy metals, mycotoxins, and persistent fluorinated compounds, often referred to as “forever chemicals.” These are some of the most difficult toxins for the body to eliminate naturally.

Plasmapheresis, also known as Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE), is reshaping modern medicine by providing the body with a cellular reset, removing harmful proteins and toxins that drive inflammation and accelerating repair at the most fundamental level.

At Gordon Medical, we integrate decades of proven hospital-based use into personalized care for chronic illness recovery and proactive wellness, combining medical expertise with therapeutic innovation.

As environmental exposures such as heavy metals and microplastics continue to rise, plasmapheresis offers a powerful way to restore balance, reduce toxic burden, and renew vitality.

For people with chronic inflammatory illness, plasmapheresis should never be used as a standalone therapy. It has to be part of a comprehensive healing process guided by an experienced practitioner who understands how to integrate it with detoxification, immune, and mitochondrial support.

For those focused on optimization, one to three treatments a year can help clear circulating toxins and senescence-associated proteins, offering a meaningful step up in long-term health.

Hearing “your labs look normal” can be one of the most frustrating parts of living with chronic illness. You know something is wrong, but standard testing isn’t designed to capture the complexity of overlapping infections, toxins, nutrient gaps, or nervous system shifts.

Our practitioners take a broader approach, combining advanced testing with whole-person analysis to better understand what may be contributing to ongoing symptoms.

BPC-157 is often called the “gateway peptide” since it is typically the first one people use. But in patients with complex chronic illness, it can sometimes cause jitteriness or sleep disruption, especially when taken in the evening.
That’s why starting points may look different for this patient population. Peptide therapy is never one-size-fits-all, it requires careful observation, personalization, and clinical experience.

Microplastics are now being detected inside human organs, including the brain. A University of New Mexico study found brain tissue contained 7–30 times more microplastics than the liver or kidneys, and levels have risen nearly 50% in less than a decade.

These findings highlight how environmental exposures are not just widespread but accumulating in ways that may have profound implications for both neurological and systemic health.

When the body can’t fully process toxins, it stores them. Fatty tissue is one storage site, but toxins are also deposited into connective tissue.

This matters because ligaments, tendons, and muscles form the foundation of our skeletal system, and the health of the nervous system depends on the integrity of that structure.
