Short YouTube video (shorts) conversation between Madison and Robert Whitfield MD about detoxing, sauna use, and safety concerns with implants. Dr. Whitfield warns that if sauna/detox makes someone feel worse rather than refreshed they should stop, and says implants may leach chemicals (quotes: "tan and cadmium and platinum and all these things that are found in the shells") which can cause neurologic and metabolic problems. Madison notes people often prefer easy answers and may resist uncomfortable truths about health.

Detoxing. I'm like, oh, I don't feel good because I'm detoxing. This is amazing.
Well, and that's the point, right? So if it's not a refreshing thing after a period of time, it's more of a like, I feel worse, then you probably should just hold off.
Right.
And then people are like, well, Dr. Whitfield knows that an implant can't melt. He just said that caused all this and he's fear mongering and all this other stuff. And I'm like, no, not really. I have all the receipts for this. I would never say anything to scare Madison about the sauna. I would want to inform a patient that that potentially that device is leaching chemicals into her system. And things like tan and cadmium and platinum and all these things that are found in the shells can definitely cause problems for you. They can cause neurologic problems. They can give you other metabolic issues. So that kind of stuff bugs me.
Yeah, yeah.
There are folks are not interested in safety at that point.
No, I mean, people don't want the truth when it comes to health because they just want the easy way out. So if you're saying like, oh, implants are X, Y and Z, of course people are going to come for you, because it's not what people want to hear.
