A short YouTube interview clip (Robert Whitfield MD) discussing challenges with detox protocols for patients with breast implants. The speakers note an immune reaction around implants, variability in patient outcomes, and suggest that pre-existing "toxic buckets" or immune burden may explain why only a subset of patients become symptomatic despite widespread bacterial presence.
Because it's a difficult one. So, like when. When you do a detox protocol, say for breast implants, or a patient has breast implants, how. How do you feel like they are able to cope? And do they get well sometimes? Do they remain symptomatic? What's been your experience? Because it's a difficult one.
It is. Well, I. I think it's difficult because of what you just said. Right. That there's an immune reaction going on. You know, depending on how filled someone's bucket is, is part of the factor. Right. Meaning of how they may be these bacteria that are opportunistic that you're referencing, you know, that come from our normal skin. I mean, you know, there are obviously on that area of the skin being brought into the cavity. I'm sure more than 1/3 end up with maybe 100% end up with those bacteria in there. Right. Why is only 1/3 approximately affected? I. I would argue part of that is the distraction of the immune system. Meaning their toxic buckets already challenged, which their immune system is already challenged. Right. And. And then that 1/3 is affected.
