Firefighter Detoxification Pilot Program results for Bob Molesworth, firefighter and bladder cancer survivor
A note on the program’s testing protocol:
In the Firefighter Detoxification Pilot Program, we check participants’ toxin levels three times: before their first treatment, halfway through, and after their last treatment. Each toxicology test provided data for 103 toxins, including 20 heavy metals, 38 environmental toxins, 24 mycotoxins, and 21 PFAS chemicals.
Before Bob’s first treatment:
Sixteen “red” chemicals (95th percentile – high)*
+
Seventeen “yellow” chemicals (75th percentile – moderate)
After Bob’s last treatment:
Two “red” chemicals (95th percentile – high)
+
Eleven “yellow” chemicals (75th percentile – moderate)
** Three of Bob’s “red” chemicals in Test 1 were three times the 95th percentile. All three decreased significantly by Test 3: BPA by 86.4%; PFHpA by 23.72%; 4-Nonylphenol by 85.76%
A word on PFAS
Nine of Bob’s sixteen “red” toxins in Test 1 were problematic PFAS chemicals.
PFAS are known as forever chemicals because “they don't break down in the environment or in our bodies” and, according to the most recent government guidelines, “no approved medical treatments are available to reduce PFAS in the body.”
One of Bob’s PFAS toxins* was fourteen times the 95th percentile – a dangerously high level.
After treatment, it dropped 96.25%.
