It wonderful that so many people want to help NMRN improve their appearance. The project could be more daunting than we think.
Is there anyone on this site with major projects experience, maybe an accountant to handle the finances?
Could someone with internet savy start a GO FUND ME page.
Let's all chimp in and do what we can for this naughty monkey.

A nose ring perhaps?

A freezer would not "kill" a chemical, as it is non-living - I think you are asking if it degrades it. I am not sure about that but suspect 'no' unless a very long time-period causes its degradation. Btw, many people think that freezing food kills off microbes, but in fact it only slows their growth - and also that of the enzymes in the food which cause it to deteriorate over time.

The main way freezing can destroy cells is because of the formation of ice crystals within the cells, but microbes (especially viruses) can tolerate very low temperatures - often they are stored in liquid nitrogen.

Back to the subject: I just researched PCBs in Norweigan farmed salmon and found "The contaminant levels in Norwegian farmed salmon have generally decreased between 1999 and 2011. Excluding other dietary sources, the levels of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in 2011 allowed consumption of up to 1.3kg salmon per week to reach the tolerable weekly intake". [https://www.researchgate.net/public...salar_in_the_13-year_period_from_1999_to_2011]

So it seems 1.3 kg per week is okay! But, of course, we do not know what other PCBs a person is ingesting from other sources (sea foods being a major source) and also how much further levels of PCB have declined since 2011. The two might balance each other.

Your business what you eat but my take is: Just keep eating the salmon and enjoy it!

I think the positive health benefits of proteins and Omega 3 fatty acids will outweigh any negative side effects... especially for the elderly.

You got a genius by mistake. Clicked the wrong one but I think it can stand for such a good post.

Thanks! First time anyone labelled me by mistake (come to think of it, no - not the first time, but usually not so pleasant!)
