Robert Whitfield MD warns that saunas can cause implant shells to degrade and leach heavy metals into your body. One patient's contaminant levels dropped after explant and a summer in Italy. The advice: skip the sauna if you have implants.
She was creating a leaching situation by going into her sauna. Everybody gets mad at me when I say this, but the. The degradation of the shell, which has all the heavy metals in it, was going into her system and we tested it. And then after her explant, she spent the summer in Italy, basically, and then came back and we retested and result out of her system.
Well, I. Yeah, two takeaways is don't use the sauna if you have implants and take them out and go to Italy.
