Hey iMedDo Family, Dr. Ben Go back with you! Following up on our vitamin D discussion, many of you have asked about tackling another modern health challenge: microplastics. These tiny plastic fragments are everywhere, and their impact on our health is a growing concern. But fear not, because the iMedDo Detox System, with its powerful blend of Iodine, Silver, and Gold, is your invaluable ally in this detox journey. Let’s dive into the world of microplastics and how we can fight back!
What Exactly Are Microplastics?
Microplastics are simply small plastic particles, often defined as being under 5 millimeters in size. They arise from the breakdown of larger plastics through environmental factors like sunlight (photo-degradation). What’s particularly concerning are halogenated microplastics, containing elements like chlorine and especially fluorine (as in PFAS). These are more resistant to breakdown and, being lipophilic (fat-loving), tend to bioaccumulate in our bodies and biomagnify up the food chain, posing a significant threat to both our health and the environment. The recent buzz around highly toxic PFAS highlights the urgency of this issue. Because microplastics can even cross the blood-brain barrier, their impact extends beyond our physical well-being, potentially affecting our mental clarity and even our spiritual journey. You can’t meditate on a brain full of Barbie doll bits!
Decoding the Plastic Jungle: Recycling Numbers Matter
Understanding the different types of plastics is key to minimizing exposure. Here’s a quick rundown of common plastics and their potential toxicity:
- #1 PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate): Often found in clear beverage bottles. Dr. Ben Go now considers this a “Red – Avoid” plastic due to its potential to leach benzene-like compounds (xenoestrogens) and heavy metals like antimony or titanium. It’s estimated that 90% of human plastic exposure comes from drinking from plastic bottles, and PET is a major culprit.
- #2 HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene): Typically found in more opaque containers like milk jugs. Considered a “Green – Safe” plastic as it’s a simple hydrocarbon chain.
- #3 PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): A “Red – Avoid” plastic due to its chlorine content (halogenated) and potential for toxic additives like PCBs (now banned) and phthalates (xenoestrogens).
- #4 LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene): Another “Green – Safe” hydrocarbon chain plastic.
- #5 PP (Polypropylene): A “Green – Safe” hydrocarbon chain plastic.
- #6 PS (Polystyrene): A “Red – Avoid” plastic due to its benzene-like ring structure. Can leach carcinogenic styrene, especially when heated.
- #7 PC (Polycarbonate): A “Red – Avoid” plastic containing double benzene-like ring structures (xenoestrogens) and the notorious BPA (another xenoestrogen).
Key Takeaway: Prioritize #2 (HDPE), #4 (LDPE), and #5 (PP) when you need to use plastic. Avoid #1 (PET), #3 (PVC), #6 (PS), and #7 (PC), especially for food and beverages. Be wary of “BPA-free” labels, ensuring the replacement plastic is actually safer (like HDPE) and not a worse alternative like PVC.
The iMedDo Advantage: Your Microplastic Detox Protocol
The iMedDo Detox System, comprising NeuIodine, NeuSilver, and NeuGold, offers a powerful and comprehensive approach to microplastic detoxification:
- NeuGold: Targeting Benzene-Like Microplastics: Dr. Ben Go’s personal experience shows that nano-colloidal gold is remarkably effective at detoxing benzene-like compounds in the brain. Since PET, PS, and PC microplastics break down into these structures, NeuGold is crucial for neutralizing their toxicity, potentially detoxing them from the brain in days, not weeks as suggested by recent research (Huang 2025). Gold also aids in detoxing fluorine and other halogens and acts as a general anti-inflammatory in the brain and liver.
- NeuIodine: The Universal Detoxifier: Nascent iodine is the heavy lifter, capable of breaking down carbon polymers (the backbone of all plastics), including both halogenated (PVC, PTFE, PFAS) and ring-structured (PET, PS, PC) microplastics. It’s especially vital for tackling stubborn fluorinated microplastics (PFAS). Iodine also helps clear calcium fluoride crystals, improving circulation and preventing microplastics from getting stuck.
- NeuSilver: The Anti-Biofilm Protector: Nano-colloidal silver is a potent anti-germicidal, disrupting bacterial biofilms that can thrive on microplastic surfaces. This is crucial for preventing the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Silver also acts as a full-body anti-inflammatory and supports kidney function during detoxification, as microplastics are eliminated through urine.
This study highlights the urgency of microplastic detox, showing they can reach the brain in just 30 minutes! Dr. Ben Go’s experience with gold suggests a much faster detoxification timeline with the iMedDo system.
Beyond iMedDo: Supporting Your Detox Journey
While the iMedDo Detox System is your primary tool, you can further support your body’s natural detoxification processes by:
- Prioritizing Safe Plastics: Make conscious choices to reduce your exposure to toxic plastics, especially for food and drinks.
- Getting Daily Sunshine & Vitamin C: These support the body’s natural detoxification pathways, potentially aiding in breaking down carbon ring structures (as seen in the vitamin D pathway).
- Eating a Healthy Diet & Staying Hydrated: This provides your body with the necessary nutrients and helps flush out toxins. Choose non-fluoridated, microplastic-free water.
- Move Acids to Glass: While most items in store had microplastics leeching into them en route, moving them to glass will prevent further contamination.
