How DuPont and 3M Poisoned the Planet. And What You Can Do About It

Millions of people are unknowingly exposed to toxic chemicals every single day, and most don’t even know it. In a recent Veritasium documentary, the world finally sees the shocking truth behind PFAS contamination and how chemical companies like DuPont and 3M knowingly polluted water, soil, and even our bodies with so-called “forever chemicals.”

These synthetic compounds, also known as PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances), are designed to resist water, heat, and grease which makes them nearly impossible to break down. They’re found in everything from non-stick pans and fast-food wrappers to rain gear and fire-fighting foam. Over time, they’ve made their way into groundwater and food supplies, creating a global health crisis.

What Are PFAS and Why Should You Care?

• Weakened immune response
• Hormonal disruption
• Increased risk of cancer
• Liver and kidney damage
• Developmental issues in children

Even more alarming: nearly 99% of people on Earth now have trace amounts of PFAS in their bloodstream.

The companies behind this DuPont and 3M were fully aware of the dangers. Yet, they continued production for decades, prioritizing profit over public health. This is one of the largest environmental scandals in modern history.

How to Detox Naturally (And How Plants Basically Can Help)

Here’s how to detox naturally, and how Plants Basically supplements can support your body's built-in detox systems every step of the way.

1. Support Your Liver, the Body’s Master Detoxifier

Your liver is responsible for filtering out toxins and neutralizing harmful compounds like PFAS. Certain herbs can help your liver function more efficiently and reduce inflammation.

Use: Juicy Joint
Key Ingredients: Turmeric, Meadowsweet

Why It Helps:
Turmeric contains curcumin, a potent antioxidant that stimulates liver enzymes and protects against oxidative stress. Meadowsweet is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, easing the burden on the liver while supporting joint health.

2. Flush Out Toxins Through Your Kidneys

Hydration is key to detox, but herbs and minerals also support the kidneys in flushing out water-soluble toxins.

Use: Ache Relief Salve (indirect support)

Why It Helps:
Reducing chronic pain with plant-based topical salves helps your body divert energy back toward detox. Chronic inflammation makes it harder for kidneys to function efficiently, so relief leads to recovery.

3. Combat Inflammation That Slows Detox

Inflammation reduces your body's ability to detox and heal. When you lower the inflammatory load, your detox pathways open up.

Use: Juicy Joint + Build Bones
Key Ingredients: White Willow Bark, Boswellia, Magnesium

Why It Helps:
White willow bark is a natural source of salicin, while shilajit helps regulate the body’s inflammatory response. Magnesium supports over 300 enzymatic reactions, including those needed for detoxification and recovery.

4. Rebuild What Toxins Break Down

Many environmental toxins, like PFAS, damage your cells and even cross the blood-brain barrier. Supporting your brain and nervous system is essential to full-body detox.

Use: Brain Nectar
Key Ingredients: Lion’s Mane, Ginkgo, Rhodiola

Why It Helps:
These nootropic herbs support neurogenesis (brain regeneration), circulation, and stress resilience. They help protect and restore your brain while promoting mental clarity, essential during detox.
