My Switzerland Homecoming Recap: Here’s What Came Out of My Blood
I just got home from the most amazing two weeks in the Swiss Alps. I hope you come next year(opens in new tab)!
It was my 17th trip there, and my 15th time taking others. Everyone who comes, each year, are amazing people I really enjoy getting to know!
I’m so grateful to have been able to break bread, and hike, and chat with the folks I met this year. A few were returning, and had been to the clinic before.
I’m sharing a photo of the junk that came out of my blood. 
Toxopheresis is a new technology that Swiss Mountain Clinic has invested in, since last year, an upgrade from the INUSpheresis they have used since 2020.
It returns of your blood back to the body.
This was my conversation with German Dr. Petra and the Tunisian nurse in blue, Madhi, as we looked at this bag of what came out of my blood:
Dr Petra: The good news is: I see no heavy metals or The Sludge.
Me: What is the sludge?
Petra: It’s particulate.
Me: But what’s in the particulate?
Madhi: It’s sediment!
Me: But what’s in the sediment?
We do have some language barriers, at the clinic, which can be fun, if you let it be. A “Who’s On First” routine!
I did eventually find out The Sludge is stuff like microplastics, metals, physical garbage in the blood.
The orange color is inflammatory proteins that are screened out–including spike. There’s pesticide and petrochemical solvent in mine, for sure. Dr. Petra poked and pushed at the bag, to show me that telltale petrochemical sheen.
I don’t eat a perfect diet, so if your thought is, “How could SHE have garbage in her blood?!”--I have a social life, and travel, and “cheat” from my clean diet, too.
I do eat a clean diet compared to 99%, so you’re probably thinking, like I am: it must be nearly everyone who has proof of toxic exposures coming out of their blood.
But, Dr. Petra told me that of over 4,000 people whose blood they’ve filtered, no more than 10, all women, have had a clear bag, basically zero output.
Amazing! A tiny fraction of 1% of us seem to not have a bunch of metals and plastics and Roundup and solvents in them.
I asked why, and Petra and Madhi riffed, on various theories why someone could have such low toxic exposures–or stellar ability to detoxify, within their own body.
We head to the clinic next year(opens in new tab), arriving August 29, 2027, for two weeks. I’m inviting all our previous retreat attendees, to come back for a reunion trip!
But newbies also welcome!
Here’s the link to check out next year’s trip(opens in new tab). Secure your spot, as I think this will sell out.
Hope to see you in the Alps next Aug. 29! Definitely come for 2 weeks, if at all possible. (And if the dollar weakens by next summer, we’ll negotiate you an additional discount.)
If we sell out, I may add a 3rd week. So if you want to come, but a week after this trip is better for you, let us know!
