Not instructions for middle aged men. No. Instructions for #plasmapheresis instead. (And I am a (post) middle aged man)

Thiosulfoxide (sulfane) sulfur: new chemistry and new regulatory roles in biology - PubMed
The understanding of sulfur bonding is undergoing change. Old theories on hypervalency of sulfur and the nature of the chalcogen-chalcogen bond are now questioned. At the same time, there is a rapidly expanding literature on the effects of sulfur in regulating biological systems. The two fields are …

Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬#Detoxification is a popular claim in #wellness. But it’s a lie
Elective #plasmapheresis represents yet another manifestation of myth of #detoxing. Private clinics with varying degrees of oversight offer it, attracting rich medical tourists. Plasmapheresis cannot improve on body’s natural detoxification processes, which are efficiently handled by kidneys, liver, skin, lungs and other organs – for free. Plus, most heavy metals of concern accumulate in our organs.
