I mean, not everyone donating does it out of the goodness of their heart, there’s a health benefit.
But back when they just let it out… That’s still the treatment for lead poisoning and off the top of my head I can’t think of a reason it wouldn’t help with micro plastics in the same way.
But when bloodletting was a big thing. So was lead poisoning.
It wasn’t helping for the reason people thought, but it’s not up there with surgeons intentionally not washing their hands before surgery
Bloodletting is definitely NOT a treatment for lead poisoning, or for anything that you can think of.
Poisoning by metals is usually treated by using a chelating agent: a molecule that creates an ionic bond with that metal, and makes it easier for the body to excrete it or prevents it from being absorbed further, like dimercaprol or EDTA.
Guys, we figured all this shit out in the 18th and 19th century. How are we going back to the days of the dumbdumb? This moronic concept of “me think so must be” is dead: we actually test hypothesis now.
Scientist here. Microplastics in the body are too ingrained in our bodies for bloodletting to do much of anything. They’re even found in fetuses.
The good news (?) is we don’t know enough about microplastics to conclusively say they’re horrible for our health. The bad news is, I’d bet a lot of money that they are.

That’s not a replacement for research. Bloodletting was the subject of one of the first ever clinical trials and we’ve known since then that it’s not effective or even harmful. There’s a handful of exceptions where it’s still done but never without a solid reason.

I literally just told you…
But since you didn’t like too much lead, what about too much iron?
Maybe someone should teach them bloodletting.
Let all that nasty cortisol flow right out
Bloodletting is pretty beneficial tho…

Yes, like that. Good job, some idiots may actually believe that. Now post it on wherever those idiots are like instragram and tiktok or whatever.

Same with lead…
When it builds up in the blood stream above a certain concentration it starts getting stored in organs.
I know they can cross the bloodbrain barrier, I’m just not sure when/how it starts to accumulate in organs. If it’s just immediate, yeah, no gains.

Right. It’s the reason we do research.
