Episode 131: What If Inflammation Could Be Removed? Therapeutic Plasma Exchange with Dr. Pamela Smith
Episode 131
Sunday, 15 February, 2026
What if inflammation isn’t just something to manage… but something you could actually remove?For decades, chronic inflammation has been treated with suppression — steroids, biologics, immune blockers. But what if there were a way to physically remove inflammatory burden from the bloodstream?In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Pamela Smith — ER physician, toxicologist, hormone specialist, and pioneer in therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) — to explore the emerging science behind physically reducing inflammatory load.We break down:• What actually happens during therapeutic plasma exchange• How inflammation, cytokines, and antigen load circulate in the blood• Why autoimmune disease may be driven by persistent toxin burden• The connection between mold, plastics, metals, and immune dysfunction• Whether TPE can help long COVID, PCOS, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline• Who should — and shouldn’t — consider this therapyThis is not a hype episode.It’s a grounded, nuanced exploration of what’s possible when inflammation is treated as something measurable — and potentially removable.If you’re navigating autoimmune disease, chronic illness, hormone resistance, long COVID, or simply want to understand the future of inflammation science, this conversation will challenge how you think about immune regulation.Is therapeutic plasma exchange the next frontier in functional medicine — or an emerging tool still finding its evidence base?Let’s explore the science.
