The only way I’ve read for a male to remove it is through blood and/or plasma donations.



That sucks if you're gay though. Maybe there should be places that will just take your blood and throw it away for you?


This would be a dialysis machine. There is some evidence that they're capable of removing some perfluorinated chemicals, though it seems they aren't effective against all types, at least at low concentrations. I'm sure there are private clinics somewhere that will take your money and hook you up for a blood detox, but it's a four hour process so not a practical solution for everyone.

Aren’t they finally starting to think about letting gays donate blood again? I know we aren’t there yet but sounds like at least some rumblings of progress…


Leeching makes a comeback.
