cholestryamine

[Cape1]

I have metastatic Stage 4 prostate cancer, and also extremely high blood levels of the toxin PFAS. In fact, my town is a hotspot for PFAS and there is much evidence it causes cancer

For years , the word was they are “forever” and you can’t get them out.

However, a recent study showed that this anti cholesterol drug binds with the PFAS and pulls them out., maybe by combining with bile.

A neighbor with leukemia took his score from 37 down to 11 in just four months.

I am on Relogolux and Darolutemide, and want to be careful that the Cholestrylamine does not cause problems.

Does anyone have knowledge of this situation?

For everyone's information;

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetic chemicals that have been used in consumer products and industrial processes since the 1950s. PFAS are known for their ability to resist heat, grease, and water, and are used in many products, including:

food packaging, clothing, carpets, firefighting foam, coatings, leather goods, and ski and snowboard waxes.

Would you be kind enough to let us know the name of your town (city and State too)?

Thank you.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

My search:

As of May–June 2023, toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were found in tap water samples from 18 US states. Monroe, New Jersey had the highest concentration of PFAS at 82 parts per trillion (ppt). The USGS has also found PFAS above 65 ppt at sample sites in Ocala, Florida, Lake Carmel and Mashpee, New York, Hastings, Woodbury, and Ramsey, Minnesota, Isabel, South Dakota, Boulder, Colorado, and Galena, Alaska.

Other states with high PFAS contamination include Iowa, Kentucky, Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Florida. The highest concentrations of PFAS in drinking water are found in the Great Plains, the Great Lakes, the Eastern Seaboard, and Central/Southern California.

PFAS contamination is often caused by water sources near urban areas and in areas that generate PFAS, such as manufacturing or waste collection sites. The US Geological Survey estimates that at least 45% of the nation's tap water contains one or more types of PFAS.

To find out if your water has PFAS, you can contact your local health department to learn about routine testing services in your state. You can also use The Nelac Institute's database to find an accredited testing lab that uses the EPA 537 or EPA 537.1 testing methods.
