YouTube conversation (Robert Whitfield MD) warning that using saunas with implants can cause leaching of heavy metals from degraded implant shells into the body; an illustrative patient improved after explantation and spending a summer in Italy, with follow-up tests showing reduction of contaminants. The clip emphasizes two takeaways: avoid saunas with implants and consider explantation for symptomatic cases.

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.
