Short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video with Robert Whitfield MD discussing a cautious clinical approach to supplementation, detoxification, surgical planning, and neuroplasticity. The speakers emphasize being intentional to avoid mobilizing toxins or interventions that can make patients worse before they get better; an anecdote about a patient reacting strongly to brief sauna exposure illustrates the point.

So there's, there's taking the elevator and there's taking the stairs. So basically in my, my population we're trying to be very intentional and very careful about how we approach supplementation, detoxification and surgical plans as well as plans for neuroplasticity because it's a very, very complicated equation in our patients and we don't want to make matters.
Yeah, and I totally agree with all of that. I think we have a similar approach and mindset that way. Like, like even sauna, I've had people where they go in for one minute of sauna like way prior to any perspiration happening and they still hurks from that. So I think there's this, like, there is, there's this impulse to like be like, oh, we have to get it out. But any of these things that mobilize, any of these things that kill any, like, they can actually make us worse before we actually see any improvements.
