Removing an implant alone often doesn't fix patients' problems. Robert Whitfield MD discusses testing for environmental toxins like atrazine and glyphosate, mycotoxins, and genetic toxicity burden as part of recovery, noting regional exposures like Florida golf courses.
The other thing that's probably a little bit hard for patients is they feel just like an explant is going to solve it. And so we built a program around the concept that that's not really the. The main focus. And I look at everybody's genetics, and we look at their toxicity burden and things like DDA and DDP and ddepth. All these pesticides are extremely prominent in this country, especially in Florida. And if you grew up around things like golf courses, that atrazine is definitely in your system. And I'm sure if people follow you and listen to you, they know what atrazine is. But all these different, either herbicides, pesticides, glyphosates from, you know, all this stuff I see all the time in patients. And it's not the heavy metals that you would think, oh, they're coming out of the. The shell all the time. That's not the dominant thing that we see. We see predominantly those herbicides, pesticides, and then we see mycotoxin. You are.
Not just removing their explant. You're not just removing the device. You're testing for all these other environmental toxins.
Not.
Just the pro inflammatory. And then your life's gonna be normal. But what you're realizing is there's a lot of other toxins that are in their body that are hindering them from having a recovery.
