Dr. Mark Hyman

Ha ha ha!

I would say that I have seen many, many, many cases of women with severe illness, chronic disease, who've had breast implants.

And it seems to be correlated, can't say caused, but correlated with their implants.

And what's even more impressive is when they take them out, they get better.

And there's something in medicine called doctor years, which is like how many years of medical practice does it take to see X, Y, or Z condition?

Like we both learned about a pheochromocytoma in medical school, which is a rare adrenal tumor.

I've never seen one in 40 years.

I'm assuming you've never seen one.

It's always on the differential, but I've never seen one.

And it's basically like a rare tumor.

So it means like it doesn't happen very often.

But if you see something over and over, and I'm just one doctor, and I see it over and over and over.

In fact, I'm dealing with a patient right now with a really severe autoimmune disease that's really resistant to treatment.

I've tried everything.

I don't start with removing your breast implants.

But I'm like, listen, if everything else works that we do in functional medicine and we can't get you better,

then we've got to assume there's something that's toxic that's affecting you.

And we know that the silicone in breast implants is definitely linked to adverse health outcomes.

So you've spent your life training as a plastic surgeon.

You went to McGill.
