I toss all class action notifications --the state lottery probably has a better payout ratio.

Supplement could help remove 'forever chemicals' from the body

Schlezinger wanted to reduce her cholesterol, but didn't want to take a drug, so she started researching dietary interventions and found that gel-forming dietary fibers might help. One such fiber is cholestyramine, which, when taken with food, binds to bile acid and leaves the body with it after digestion. The body then has to replace the bile acid lost, and draws cholesterol from the blood to do so, reducing cholesterol levels.

Schlezinger realized that PFAS, like bile acids, are surfactants, with a neutral end and a charged end, which is what makes the acids stick to the fibers. She wondered if gel-forming fibers could help us expel PFAS just as they do with bile acids.

>cholestyramine

My wife was on it for 2 months. It's loose, large-ish granules of resin and is very inert ...doesn't mix with anything well.  Tough med to have to take every day.  I happened to be experimenting with 'overnight oatmeal' with 1 tbsp of chia seeds for a breakfast cereal.  She tried it and it completely replaced cholestyramine with the same good results. If she misses a day or two of chia seeds the bile acid starts kicking up right away.

chia seeds gel quickly, too.
