🚨 I HAVE NO MICROPLASTICS IN MY BALLS 🚨
This should not be possible.
Studies show that 100% of men have microplastics in their semen. I am the first human ever to show a complete reduction to zero.
This may be a world-first breakthrough in fertility research.
I had 165 microplastic particles in my semen just 18 months ago. Now, I have zero.
Five published studies have measured microplastics in human semen. Two found them in 100% of men. The other three found then in 44 to 76% of men tested, but those used methods that miss the smallest particles and the clear ones. Corrected for that, the real rate is likely 100%. Almost every man alive has plastic in his semen right now. The same applies to testicular tissue, testing 100% positive for microplastics.
Microplastics hurt sperm.
Human studies show the impact of various types of plastic, associated chemicals, and other toxins on male fertility:
+ 60% fewer normal shaped sperm (from PFAS)
+ 5x higher odds of low sperm count (from PTFE)
+ 10% lower sperm concentration (from PTFE)
+ 15% lower swimming ability (from PTFE)
+ 41% lower swimming ability (from PET)
+ 12% lower sperm swimming ability (from BPA)
+ 3x higher odds of low sperm count (from Phthalates)
+ 2x higher odds of poor swimming (from Phthalates)
The effects compound: each extra type of plastic drops sperm swimming ability by about 21%.
This matters even if you’re NOT trying to get pregnant.
Sperm count is one of the cleanest biomarkers of overall health we have. And microplastics don't stop at the testes.
The same particles are showing up everywhere we look. Studies show 4.5x higher rate of heart attack, stroke, and death in people with microplastics in their arterial plaque vs. those without. Microplastics were also found in 100% of human placentas tested.
100% of post-mortem human brains tested positive for microplastics. Brain concentrations rose ~50% between 2016 and 2024, and now sit at roughly 11x the levels found in the liver or kidney.
Where do these come from?
+ PTFE, commonly in non-stick pans
+ PET, water bottles
+ Phthalates, makes plastic soft and bendy
+ BPA, can linings
+ PFAS, stain-resistant fabrics & food packaging
Inside the body, plastic causes a kind of cellular rust. It triggers inflammation in the testicles, kills the cells that make sperm and drops testosterone. It's been confirmed across 39 animal and cell studies, then in human data.
MY PROTOCOL:
Note, what I did is n=1, not a controlled trial, I cannot prove cause.
1. Sauna (dry). My toxin blood panel confirms sauna clears plastic related chemicals: BPA, phthalates, PFAS, flame retardants, pesticides. The plastic particles themselves are too big to sweat out directly. Heat may activate other clearance routes: bile flow through the liver, the cell's internal cleanup system, and the gut barrier. Humans have almost no enzymes that can break plastic apart, so the body has to physically push it out.
2. Reverse osmosis water filter. Drinking water is likely a major source of microplastic getting into your body. A reverse osmosis filter pushes water through a very tight membrane and strains the particles out. I filter everything I drink.
3. Trying to rid my environment of the big plastic items: cutting boards, cups, plates, food storage containers, non-stick pans, cling wrap, tea bags, water bottles, kitchen utensils, kettles, and synthetic clothing. Note, as hard as I try, I'm always finding new plastic things in my life. This can be all-consuming thing so try to just knock out the big ones.
I did all three interventions at the same time. I cannot say which one did the most work. What I can say is this: going from 165 to zero in 18 months is possible.
Results:
Nov 2024: 165 particles/mL
Jul 2025: 20 particles/mL
Apr 2026: 0 particles/mL
The 18 month window also captures roughly 7 full spermatogenesis cycles.
I'm just tired of people on the left ignoring the fact that NYC is built on the historic lands of the Lenape people and acting like they have no higher priority than protesting what's happening in Israel/Palestine
I’m just tired of people on the left wincing when we talk about this as an occupation. NYC is an American city in an American state yet our local government literally has no higher priority than facilitating the sale of illegally stolen land for Israel
Interesting choice to describe "Transjordan as a self-governing Arab emirate" when you note in the same post that it is ruled by a Hashemite monarchy, hailing from the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia.
The "partition plan" they are talking about was in 1922, not 1947. It refers to the creation of Transjordan as a self-governing Arab emirate within the Mandate for Palestine but excluded from the Jewish homeland.
A pervasive lie has been spread about this since 1925. The claim is that "Palestine" in the Balfour Agreement included Transjordan, but the British split off the land east of the Jordan river to create an Arab state, leaving the Jews with only the land west of the Jordan. This lie appears to have been originally spread by the Revisionist Zionist Ze'ev Jabotinsky.
It took me weeks to piece together the real story from original sources.
Transjordan was never included in the 1917 Balfour Agreement. It was at that time part of the Ottoman Vilayet of Syria.
In 1916, Syria was provisionally divided in two by the Sykes-Picot agreement, with the northern half being a French "sphere of influence" and the southern half ("Transjordan") British. Sykes & Picot envisaged the two powers collaborating to establish an Arab state or confederacy of states in Syria. Talk about wishful thinking. Britain did want an Arab state there, since it had already promised this to the Hashemites in return for Arab help in defeating the Ottomans. But France wanted another Algeria.
At the time of the San Remo Conference (1920), which allocated the Mandates, the whole of Syria (including Transjordan) was ruled from Damascus by Britain's Hashemite ally Feisal. He had just declared Syria independent and himself King.
Against the wishes of the Syrians (King-Crane Commission 1919), and arguably violating the Sykes-Picot Agreement, the Conference allocated the Mandate for Syria to France and the Mandates for Palestine and Iraq to Britain. Importantly, the Conference did not define the boundaries of the Mandates. It left Britain and France to thrash this out between themselves. There are numerous maps circulating that claim to show "San Remo Conference boundaries", but they are all fake.
Three months after the Conference, France invaded Syria, deposed Feisal and established a military occupation. However, the occupation did not extend south of the Sykes-Picot line. The area known as "Transjordan" was left ungoverned. In France's eyes, it was a British responsibility.
Feisal's brother Abdullah raised a small army and moved into Transjordan, setting up his base in Amman. From there he conducted guerilla raids into French Syria and across the Jordan into British Palestine, both of which he claimed. He threatened to raise an army and kick out both the French and the British.
The British didn't take Abdullah's threats seriously, but the guerilla attacks were annoying and they did need to govern Transjordan - they feared that if they didn't, it would de facto be run by the French from Damascus. So they agreed a deal with the Hashemites (known as the "Hashemite Solution"). Feisal would become King of Iraq, and Abdullah would become Emir of the smaller Transjordan. Both would legally be under British oversight. For Iraq this was easy, since Britain was the Mandatory power for Iraq. But France was nominally the Mandatory power for Transjordan. To bring Transjordan under British oversight in accordance with the Sykes-Picot Agreement, the League of Nations agreed to add it to the Mandate for Palestine. This was in 1921, before the Mandates had been finalised.
But there was a problem. The draft Mandate for Palestine incorporated the Balfour Agreement. Adding Transjordan to it would significantly extend the scope of the Jewish homeland and impose on Abdullah an obligation towards Jews that he would not accept. So Article 25 was added to the Mandate to exclude Transjordan from the Jewish homeland.
Jabotinsky originally agreed to the exclusion of Transjordan from the Jewish homeland. But by 1925, he had changed his mind and was laying claim to Transjordan as part of the "Jewish state". This remains the Revisionist Zionist position now...
In 1948, the Christian population of Jerusalem numbered 31,000, approximately 19% of the population.
Today the Christian population of Jerusalem hovers around 10,000, approximately 1 % of the populatiom.
Now that we've cleared up this minor error, Mr. Foreign Minister...
1 year ago today, Dave Portnoy forced me to go to Auschwitz and apologize to the jews
I refused — and Dave tried to ruin my life
I was expelled from university, my post-grad job offer was revoked, I lost my “best friends”, was removed from my fraternity, received death threats, had my house broken into, and even got banned on Cash-app and PayPal
These are the scare tactics jews will use to frighten you into submission
Never bend the knee, never apologize, and always double down
1 year later, I don’t regret a thing.
@BasOMatic@Wilson__Valdez Yes, that's fair. But I just don't see how someone with his views and history would knowingly get a Nazi tattoo and keep it for 18 years
Quite literally, the very next words in the quoted article are: "While Mr. Schneider is widely seen as a staunch advocate for Israel in Congress, some of the most vocal Jewish critics of Israel also say they have not been spared from antisemitic attacks."
Note that the NYT implies these legislators are being "personally targeted" for being Jewish when many of the examples are protests over their support for Israel's genocide in Gaza.
@jonathanchait Are you saying the country was not in fact founded by white supremacists? How many Black and Native people did they let into the constitutional convention? It's not enough to say "the right wing also believes this," you also have to prove that it's not true.
As the community note makes clear, I didn't delete it because I stand by it.
But if MAGA world has decided their best play is to insult Mainers' intelligence by trying to fool them into thinking Platner's old tattoo makes him a Nazi sympathizer, best of luck in November!
This is almost beyond parody. I challenge you to find me another country that members of the US Congress speak about in this way, with this tone and passion. I dare you.
Shomrim claim to have assisted the violent thug police officers in the assault on their suspect.
Shomrim are an armed Jewish militia engaged in (in this case) street violence and co-operation in police brutality which could have killed a man and may have left him with life-altering injuries.
Jewish supremacists are importing their Nakba tactics to Britain, with this latest fundraising scheme aided by GB News.
