What do we do now? Ive been told for 25 yrs I have plastic in my blood and the result is that it mimics hormones elevated hence causes the body to believe its pregnant and retain weight. My 28 yr old daughter has been told her blood contained plastic 3 yrs ago. Both of us at various times was told to take a product called DIM (longer name abbreviated derived from broccoli tips). Both of us had a bad reaction to DIM as it pulls plastic from the body it caused both of us to have elevated temps to 100 101 causing a sick feeling like a flu. I was told 20/25 yrs ago that the plastic was from fertilizers, a byproduct of plastic. Why is it only now that Plastic in the blood is such a surprise? No one has done anything before this time to explain it. Its gone ignored even though Drs knew it caused at least Breast Cancer in women. What else does it effect? Has anyone ever studied it? If so, who? Unjabbed and full of plastic for the last 25 yrs I'm aware of. Is it any wonder we are all walking SICK? I was told by my MD of 40 yrs, that in women, it causes breast cancer. Im not shocked by the plastic obviously, but I want to know from where its really coming from and how if your allergic to Methyl Blue, to get it out of my body safely, and without 101 temps. I never handled fertilizer nor used them in my yard but know they are on just about every lawn around me, farm, ect... Can you examine some fertilizers for side by side plastics/polymers and ask doctors if they are aware of DIM? How many are aware of this problem and prescribed this natural product DIM. Many doctors obviously were aware of plastics in the blood. Labs are sure aware of it. Its time to identify the sources and shut it down. Examine the plant food as well as animal blood for these polymers. If we are full of plastic, so are the animals and plants we eat.

From Bing, I asked if plastic was in fertilizers?

Response copied:

"Yes, certain types of plastic can be converted into fertilizer. Specifically, compostable plastics, which are made from plants, can be transformed into fertilizer1. Additionally, bio-based polymers produced from biomass (known as bioplastics) can be chemically recycled back into nitrogen-rich fertilizers2. However, it’s essential to note that not all plastics are suitable for this purpose. Other biodegradable plastics break down, but micro-beads of plastic may remain, making them unsafe for use in fertilizers1. So, while plastic can be repurposed into fertilizers, the type of plastic matters significantly. 🌱"

Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a compound that your body produces when you digest cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage12. Specifically, it’s a metabolite of indole-3-carbinol, which is found in these veggies. DIM has gained attention for its potential health benefits.

Diindolylmethane (DIM), a compound found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and kale, has been studied for its potential health benefits. However, it’s essential to clarify that DIM is not specifically designed to remove plastics from the body. Let’s break it down:

"Plastics and Endocrine Disruptors:

Plastics, especially microplastics, are pervasive in our environment. They leach into food, drinks, and even our bodies.

Plastics contain endocrine disruptors, which can interfere with our hormonal system1.

These endocrine-disrupting chemicals can have adverse effects on health.

DIM and Detoxification:

Some speculation exists that DIM may impact liver pathways and potentially aid in detoxification.

However, there is no direct evidence that DIM specifically targets plastics or removes them from the body.

DIM is more commonly associated with supporting estrogen metabolism and promoting hormonal balance2.

General Detoxification:

While DIM itself doesn’t detoxify plastics, maintaining overall health can help the body eliminate toxins.

A healthy diet, hydration, and proper liver function contribute to detoxification.

BPA and BPS (common plastic components) can be flushed out of the system within 24 hours in a properly functioning body3.

Microplastics and Our Bodies:

Microplastics are tiny fragments found in water and food.

Unfortunately, there’s no known way to completely filter or contain them at present1.

Researchers are actively studying ways to remove microplastics from water4.

In summary, DIM isn’t a targeted solution for plastic detoxification. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and minimizing plastic exposure can contribute to overall well-being. If you’re concerned about plastics, focus on reducing your exposure and supporting your body’s natural detoxification processes. 😊🌱"
