Robert Whitfield MD explains how the body forms scar tissue around implants and treats them like splinters. Environmental exposures to water, air, food, and mold increase inflammation, especially in people with pre-existing autoimmune conditions.

Like, inflammation from our bodies reacts in a way that if you put a device in someone, their body immediately forms scar tissue around it. And that's the capsule, the scar capsule everybody talks about. Your body's always going to try to get that out of your system. And then if you have other things from your environment, you know, the water we drink, the air we breathe, the food we eat, the products we come in contact with in our skin on daily basis in Austin, there's tons of mold. These things all add to the. The basically your toxic burden, and that's what gives you the inflammation.
So what you're saying, essentially, is, when you put an implant in, if you're already having, like, inflammation problems to begin with, or you already have underlying autoimmune, and then you put the implant in, your body is pushing it out like a splinter.
