A short talk by Robert Whitfield MD explaining the body's inflammatory response to implanted foreign objects, the formation of scar capsules, and how chronic inflammation can persist or worsen due to genetic detoxification limits compounded by environmental factors (food, water, air) or life events (mold exposure, bereavement, pregnancy) that tip a person into symptomatic illness.
As soon as it's placed in your body, doesn't matter what it is, your body tries to get rid of it. It forms a scar capsule around it. In some instances, the body's inflammatory response does not shut down or gets worse. I see this in particular in all sorts of situations where someone's ability to detoxify genetically is then challenged over time by their environment, their food, their water, their air. And ultimately, there may be something that tips them over, upsets the. The balance they have. And they may have been tolerating all this inflammation, but they had something happen. A big mold exposure, a death in the family, a chronic issue that gets worsened some other way. They deliver. They have a pregnancy. I see people get very, very symptomatic after a pregnancy.
