A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube video titled "Breast Implants & Autoimmune Diseases: Shocking Truth!" featuring Dr. Robert Whitfield and another speaker. They discuss the thyroid as a particularly sensitive endocrine organ, note common autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's) among patients, and describe an anecdotal case where a patient improved rapidly after explant surgery.
I think the thyroid is by far the most sensitive endocrine system and it gets thrown off very easily. I see that, you know, super common in all of our patients regardless of if they have an implant or not. And of course, I mean many of them have problems with autoimmunity, specifically Hashimoto's. That would be by far the most dominant, you know, anecdotal experience we would have.
Yeah. And it's interesting. I mean there's overlap too in the symptoms of thyroid issues and bii. And I think it's so to get your thyroid sorted on the front end too so you can see what residually is left as far as symptoms go. But gosh, I think about a patient that I sent over to you in the last year or so and she had really done all the things, her thyroid was great. She had an explant with you and she's like McCall. The next day I was a completely different person.
