So, how can PFAS be removed from the body, once there? I’ve read a study of ex vivo experiments, for example, where DMSO is used to break down these molecules, except with some containing certain sulfur based radicals. But these have to be heated to about 210F to get results.
There are no medically established means at present to reduce PFAS blood serum levels in those with high exposure. There is early-stage research underway on use of a cholesterol-reducing medication and use of certain dietary supplements. Our bodies eliminate PFAS gradually (over many years, in the case of some legacy compounds), but they can't fully get rid of these chemicals when we're continually exposed to new sources.

Thanks. I look forward to any breakthroughs you uncover. Yes, continual exposure is a terrible issue.
