Dr. Robert Whitfield explains how PCR testing detects bacteria and fungi in the tissue around breast implants, not the implant itself. He's tested thousands of samples and recently submitted a paper on 700 cases showing the pocket triggers immune response, not the shell.
About 700 cases (he said "almost 700").
Several thousand PCR-tested samples.
Bacteria, fungi, or mycobacterium.
And so we recently submitted a paper for a publication of, I think it's almost 700 of my cases. I have several thousand now of PCR tested samples. Everybody remembers from the pandemic, you go to the antigen test, you get the PCR test like it's now the lingo. So a PCR test is the most definitive way for us to see any kind of bacteria, fungi, or mycobacterium inside the pocket. I don't care about the shell of the implant. That's, you know, not what's important. I want to know what's up up inside that against your scar tissue. So really, what's hugged and stuck inside, because that sends a signal to your body. And when your body reacts to that signal, your immune system gets activated.
Do you notice more problems with the different material that the breast implant is made.
