The Shocking Link Between Microplastics and Heart Disease

  • What is the #1 cause of death in men and women in the U.S.?
  • Heart disease.
  • What is the most common type of heart disease?
  • Coronary artery disease (CAD), which is responsible for the majority of cases.
    CAD occurs when arteries become blocked by plaques composed of fat,
    cholesterol, fibrin, white blood cells, and cellular debris.

For decades, this has been common knowledge, making heart disease a top priority in research, drug development, and healthcare. As a result, plaque formation and cardiovascular disease are among the most well-understood areas in biomedicine.

However, a groundbreaking discovery in 2024 changed the field forever. A team of Italian surgeons and scientists analyzed the chemical composition of atherosclerotic plaques removed during stent implant surgeries in CAD patients . Shockingly, they found that 60% of these plaques contained plastics, primarily polyethylene.

To further investigate, they monitored these patients for three years. The results were orange-alarming: patients with plastic-contaminated plaques died 4.5 times more often than those without plastics. This discovery provides undeniable evidence of the dangers posed by modern environmental pollutants.

In 2025, new studies revealed even more concerning findings. Microplastics were detected in large quantities in the brain, and individuals with dementia had significantly higher levels 2 . Additionally, microplastics were found to negatively impact the reproductive system.

What Can Be Done?

Once microplastics enter the bloodstream and brain through the small intestine, they are extremely difficult to remove. The liver, kidneys, and gut microbiome are not equipped to process these synthetic materials.

The good news? Repeated IV ozone therapy and Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation (EBOO) have been proven to remove over 90% of microplastics from circulating blood. This process is non-invasive and can be monitored without biopsies, as microplastics are easily visualized using dark-field microscopy of peripheral blood.

Our Plastics Removal Program also includes:

  • Restorative IV therapies
  • Kidney and liver detoxification protocols
  • Daily lymphatic drainage sessions

These treatments work together to enhance the body’s natural waste management
systems, offering a proactive approach to combating microplastic contamination.
