Robert Whitfield MD explains that breast implant illness is conceptualized here as a form of chronic inflammation which can, over time and interacting with genetics and environmental factors, damage multiple organ systems. He recommends lowering inflammation through dietary changes (eliminating gluten, dairy, possibly eggs), improving air and water quality, and non-surgical support including supplements such as vitamin D3K2, liposomal vitamin C, and liposomal glutathione.

Can breast implant illness cause long term health issues? I had a client come in who's been experiencing different symptoms over a number of years. And the end game with inflammation, and in this case we consider this to be a problem with chronic inflammation, is that all organ systems can ultimately be damaged. And if you couple that to your genetics, then things that considerably inflame your body through your diet, your environment, foreign bodies like a breast implant, hip implant, knee implant, if you're reacting to them, can certainly cause you problems that are going to be long term problems with chronic inflammation depending on the body system that they're affecting. So when we first introduce ourselves to clients and explain what we consider breast implant illness is to be, which is chronic inflammation, a component of which is the device I always talk to them about lowering their inflammation. So consider ways to really lower your inflammation right off the bat are eliminating gluten from your diet, eliminating dairy from your diet. I'll get a really almost allergic reaction eating eggs. But cheese and cheese products, milk, things that you would consider to be okay for you, may in fact be really inflammatory to your system. So once again, a way to control what goes in your mouth from a food and water standpoint, and controlling your air quality, when you can do all those, you will lower your inflammation. And then simple things that we do in our inflammation support bundle are vitamin D3K2, which is a liquid liposomal vitamin C, which is a liquid oral liposomal glutathione, obviously, which is a liquid. Though once again, right off the bat, things you can do to take care of yourself that aren't surgical in nature, but will help you decrease.
