Debunking Breast Implant Mold Myths and Explant #bii #breastimplantillness #podcast

I think there's been a lot of disinformation regarding how many patients with breast implant illness suffer from mold either in or around the implant. I've done over 2000 explants with over almost 1100 PCR tested samples. So polymerase chain reaction tested samples. So those take and examine the DNA fragments of 150 types of bacteria, fungi. And Mycobacterium mold is a fungi. So in those, approximately 6 of those over 1100 PCR tested have had fungi. And so, you know, do the math. Obviously, that's an extremely low number who actually have fungi. And typically there's a one off explanation for that. One of the examples was it was a triathlete and they swam all the time. They got out of their swim in their competitions and they ran barefoot up a platform or what have you to.
