Microplastics in the Body – An Invisible Burden of Our Time
Dear Patients,
We often talk about environmental pollution, about plastic in the oceans, in the air and in our food. Yet one crucial question is often overlooked: What happens when these particles enter our body? This is precisely why the topic has become so relevant today. Microplastics are no longer a distant environmental issue, but something we encounter every day.
Microplastics Are Everywhere – Closer Than We Think
Microplastics Are Everywhere – Closer Than We Think
Microplastics are present in many areas of everyday life. They can be found, among other places:
in the air we breathe, especially indoors
in drinking water and bottled beverages
in foods such as fish, salt, honey and beer
in soil, plants and the entire food chain
Studies show that a large proportion of water samples examined worldwide contain microplastics, in some cases in high concentrations.
New Findings: Microplastics in the Human Body
Current scientific studies indicate that microplastics and nanoplastics are not only absorbed, but can also be detected in the body. Such particles have been found, among other places:
- in the blood
- in the lungs
- in the intestines
- in organs such as the liver and kidneys
- even in the brain and placenta
These particles may trigger cellular stress, inflammation and hormonal disruption. They are also suspected of contributing to chronic diseases over the long term.
Why This Matters for Your Health
Microplastics do not act in isolation. The particles often carry additional pollutants, for example:
- plasticisers
- flame retardants
- environmental toxins
- plasticisers
- flame retardants
- environmental toxins
This can create a combination that places a lasting burden on the body, often unnoticed and over many years. Especially in cases of chronic symptoms, fatigue or inflammatory processes, it may therefore be useful to also consider possible environmental burdens.
Our Approach: Identifying Burdens and Reducing Them in a Targeted Way
At Alpstein Clinic, we pursue a holistic approach. This means that we consider not only the symptoms, but also possible hidden stress factors affecting the body’s internal environment. A central component of this is the targeted reduction of environmental toxins in the body. Our aim is to support the organism where burdens may impair regeneration and health.
Inuspheresis® – Modern Blood Purification at the Highest Level
At Alpstein Clinic, INUSpheresis® offers an innovative procedure that can filter harmful substances directly from the blood. Among other things, the following substances can be removed:
- microplastics and nanoplastics
- heavy metals
- pro-inflammatory substances
- immune complexes
The result is an improved internal environment – an important prerequisite for regeneration and health.
What Patients Often Report
After treatment, many patients report:
- more energy and improved performance
- a reduction in inflammatory processes
- better regeneration
- an increased general sense of well-being
Analyses of the filter material also show that microplastics can be removed from the blood.
Conclusion: Invisible Burden – Targeted Relief
Microplastics are an issue that affects us all, often without us noticing it directly. This makes it all the more important to support the body in a targeted way and take possible burdens seriously.
The combination of modern diagnostics and innovative procedures such as INUSpheresis® opens up new perspectives in the fields of prevention and therapy.
