So far as I know chelation is not effective for PFAS, chelation is for metals.

PFAS will eventually (slowly) leave your body - focus on not getting anymore, not on removing it. I posted a comment with suggestions elsewhere in this thread.

Correct. I was using lead chelation as an analogy for the medical management of PFAS contamination.

Evidence so far is that plasma and blood donations can remove it slowly.
