2.2 million implants placed worldwide.

How many women do you think are walking around with breast implant illness that have no idea?
There's 2.2 million implants placed worldwide.
What happens when somebody takes their implants out with the explant surgery and their symptoms are still there? What are you finding is going on typically in this situation?
So that's why we developed our program. I think if you don't know their toxicity burden or their genetics and how they detoxify and their gut health, food sensitivities and hormone balance, I don't think you have a shot in hell of actually taking care of them. You're just doing a surgery to do a surgery, and you're not really completing the loop.
