Dr. Robert Whitfield describes a toxicity test that screens for hidden environmental toxins before surgery. An audit of over 500 patient tests found the most common contaminants are BPA from plastics, glyphosate from Roundup, and a mycotoxin. Clinicians should check for these toxins when evaluating patients.
Just preparation and looking at the TOCS test and trying to, you know, I think what Violet has definitely, uh, probably had our eyes open to what is a very, very different pre-op. So when we're looking at somebody, we're trying to see through this test. It's very elucidating to me, and I had a call with our scientific officer the other day, and we haven't talked about this, but we've got over 500 toxicity tests on patients. And in an audit of those, the number one thing is, uh, environmental toxin BPA from plastic. And the number two thing is glyphosate, which is Roundup, which is sprayed on our food supply. And then the third thing is a mycotoxin. So that kind of tracks with what we normally see.
