Robert Whitfield MD describes breast implant illness as a multi-factorial inflammatory condition where implants are one piece of a larger problem. Explant surgery alone often fails because other contributors remain untreated: gut infections like H. pylori and candida, environmental toxins including mycotoxins and heavy metals, and impaired detoxification pathways that need liver support and glutathione protocols.

Breast implant illness is a chronic inflammatory process of which a implant is playing a component. It's not the only component. If you treat it as it's the only component and you just do an explant and send the patient on their way, you're going to have what you're describing, a group of people who, quote, unquote, don't respond because you're not actually taking care of the patients if they have a parasitic infection in their gut or a candidal overgrowth or H. Pylori, or if they have all these different mycotoxins or heavy metals on their toxins test. If you don't, then help them with a detox. That's. We like to supervise ours so it's. We know what's going on and then compare it and benchmark it against the previous toxicity test. And for everybody listening, your liver has to handle the brunt of this. So if your liver on blood work looks normal, that doesn't mean it's functioning well to detoxify. And many of the things like mold toxins or mycotoxins that get into the liver are not easily expressed. You have to challenge it with glutathione. You have to then go through the process of binding. And if someone has other problems, there's. It's a longer process than just coming and having surgery with us.
