    • The PFAS Detox: Human Excretion of Polyfluoroalkyl Substance via Ionic Foot Bath Electrolysis
      Oct 5 2024
      Episode 3: Results of initial PFAS water testing of sample of dirty foot bath water from electrolysis INTRODUCTION Polyfluoryl-alkyl Substances (PFAS) represent 15,000 different variations of long chains of fluoride, a known neurotoxin, that bioaccumulate in plants and animals. In humans, they have been associated with kidney cancer, increased cholesterol, and thyroid problems to name a few. PFAS is commonly referred to as “forever chemicals” due to the fact they stay in the body from 3-27 years, depending on the form. Ongoing bioaccumulation risks remain for those working in industries with frequent exposure, dump sites, contaminated water supplies, food packaging, painting, electroplating, carpet installation, carpet treatment, serving as a firefighter, working with ski wax, waterproofing material and construction materials. Public awareness has not yet caught up to the existing science and there is a paucity of recommendations available for the informed consumer. The available data for daily exposure for the general population to PFAS comes out of Canada and Norway. Daily consumption was 90% dietary with intake of 73 ng/day, on par with dust and air inhalation exposure. A follow-up study combined types of PFAS and estimated daily consumption as high as 250 ng per day. This study aims to validate ionic foot bath treatments remove PFAS from the human body, paving the way to correlate with improved health outcomes. MATERIALS Hand-crafted copper foot basin from India Ionic Cleanse Detox machine from Better Health Company, round double coil array. Model BHC-CTRL-01, 24 W, 2A, 12V DC. One gallon per session of distilled water, steam distillation from Premium Waters, packaged 05/27/24 12:06, best by 05/27/2025. GreenPan anodized ceramic cooking pot Pink Himalayan salt, 1/4 cup per session METHODS An initial serum PFAS level was obtained using the PFASure test from Any Lab Test Now. One 30-minute foot bath session was conducted with the Ionic Cleanse Detox Machine using distilled water with 1/2 cup of pink Himalayan salt. Water sample testing was conducted on both the clean and dirty foot bath water using SimpleLab. Before 15 Minutes 30 Minutes Before 15 Minutes 30 Minutes RESULTS The initial serum PFAS result was 7 ng/mL, which falls in the Medium Risk Category (<2 preferred, 2-20 elevated risk health risks, >20 high risk of bad health outcomes). The clean sample of distilled water used in the initial foot bath came back from the lab totally free of PFAS. The dirty water from my very first foot bath was also sent off for 3rd party, independent testing. The PFAS results was 49.7 PPT (parts per trillion), which is over 12 times the new EPA drinking water standard (<4 PPT). The lab results is below: RESULTS of distilled water after the first foot bathDownload Initial ValuesUnit Conversions0.0000497 PPMmg/L0.0497 PPBmicrogram/L49.7 PPTng/L49,700 PPQpg/LThe total amount of excreted PFAS was 0.18813438 micrograms (188.13 ng). NEXT STEPS I’ll post more data here as the protocol goes along the next few months, including final serum PFAS testing and clean water data. From these data, we’ll be able to estimate the following: Quantitative amount of PFAS excreted through the feet during electrolysis. Rate of electrolysis excretion of PFAS to estimate the number of treatments needed. DICUSSION This study will need to be duplicated if it turns out that PFAS comes out readily during electrolysis.

    • Early Potential Biomarkers of Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Bioaccumulation
      Oct 4 2024
      Introduction Episode 2: It's the Fall of Rome all over again. If they had only had a Community-Based Research Group and access to blood and water testing... The globe has become polluted to such an extent that industrial contaminants can be found in the air, soil, water and food supplies. Many contaminants can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) represent 15,000 different variation of chemical compounds with known health effects including abnormal laboratory tests (liver enzymes and cholesterol) and cancers. The fear-mongering media has dubbed these "forever chemicals" because the original PFOS (with 8 carbons) took over 27 years to eliminate from the body. Current versions may take over 8 years be eliminated from the body. The region surrounding Springfield, MO contains PFAS in the water supply due to ongoing industrial contamination. A trend was noticed at a busy psychiatric urgent care in Springfield, MO whereby it seemed to staff that healthy people had low Vitamin D, thyroid dysfunction, and abnormal lipids. In the majority of cases, these were the only medical problems these people had. The rates of abnormal labs and medications/supplements for Vitamin D, thyroid dysfunction and dyslipidemia in this vulnerable population are reported here. Methods Chart reviews were conducted for patients attending a psychiatric urgent care in Springfield, MO in July 2024. Inclusion criteria was having had a full panel of laboratory studies within the previous 18 months. Labs had to include a Vitamin D level, full lipid panel and full thyroid panel with at least TSH, T4 (conjucated/unconjucated), and T3 . Exclusion criteria were patients missing laboratory studies for either Vitamin D, lipid panel or thyroid panel. Age, gender, number of medical diagnoses, vitamin D supplement usage, TSH, T4 (or free T4), T3, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, calculated VLDL, calculated HDL, and statin use were studied. Results Twenty-six patients were included in this study (n=26). Ages ranged from 8-68. Thirty-eight percent were male and 62% were female which is typical in outpatient psychiatric practice. Out of nine total lab tests, seven labs were above the expected 5% outliers of the reference range (Table 1). Over 73% of patients had elevated calculated LDL, 46.2% had abnormal total cholesterol, 38.5% had low Vitamin D, 30.8% had abnormal TSH values, 19.2% had low HDL, 15.4% had elevated triglycerides, and 7.7% had abnormal T3 triiodothyronine values. Thyroxine (T4) and calculated VLDL were the only tests that had less than the 5% of patients with abnormal results. Table 1: Number of patients with and without abnormal labs. Ratios and percentages are calculated. Percentages of patients with abnormal labs over the expected 5% are highlighted in green. Discussion Bioaccumulation of pollutants is known to cause endocrine disruption. Early detection of bioaccumulation is important for medical surveillance efforts to understand the scope of the problem, further identify at-risk populations, and contribute to reducing the current cancer epidemic. This study demonstrated the need for further research in epidemiologic studies, hazard identification, mitigation of pollutants, education for the public and researching detoxification outcomes. Limitations of this study include low sample size, lack of controls for medical problems and medications (except for Vitamin D supplementation which was studied).

    • Gluten-Free Psychiatry
      Sep 23 2024
      Episode 1: Hello World. Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Gluten-Free Psychiatry Podcast. I’m your host Daniel Williams, MD psychiatrist type that prescribes medications for mental health. I’m blogging from MindshiftCare.com, where modern psychiatry meets toxin-free living. Imagine how much better you would feel after detoxing from neurotoxins such as PFAS, BPA, Parabens, Glyphosate, Fluoride, Botulinum Toxin, and Heavy Metals (aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury). That's the ideal and expanding on the ideal circumstances for optimum cognitive health is what the Gluten-Free Psychiatry Podcast is all about. The slogan at Mindshift Care is ”Advancing Detox Science for Cognitive Health”, so we’ll take a look at how these neurotoxins affect mental health without the outside influence of pharmaceutical companies or greedy employers. Medications Containing Gluten Did you know that at least half of all medications contain gluten? Have you read the book Wheat Belly? Gluten-free psychiatry involves using a specialty, compounding pharmacy that makes pure versions of medications in a vegan capsule. Generic trazodone for sleep can cost $400 (50 mg nightly x 30 day supply), but at least you could take it if you had Ulcerative Colitis or Celiac Sprue! In 2012, pharmaceutical companies were force by the U.S. Congress to reveal which medications and manufacturers are making pills with gluten. The 2013 follow up study is cited below with the top 200 most-prescribed medications.1 The results were surprising to me – practically all of the psychiatric medications I prescribe were on that list and half of the manufacturers of generic contained gluten and half did not. As a physician, it’s impossible for me to know which manufacturer a pharmacy is using so we’re all flying blind. In my practice… Most people can’t afford, or won’t make a priority, medications that cost hundreds of dollars per month so I don’t prescribe this often – but it does exist! Patients with Alpha-GAL tick-biting, meat allergy disease have to do Gluten-Free Psychiatry, especially if anxiety causes anaphylaxis (which I have seen). I would recommend it in all auto-immune diseases as an ideal. More research is needed. If you have an auto-immune disorder and are interested in detoxing, consider doing before and after blood work to help add to the research pool on this very important topic.

I was the first ever to demonstrate PFAS comes out of the body during ionic foot baths. REFERENCES 1 King AR; University of Kansas Drug Information Center Experiential Rotation Students, August 2012.
