You know, we've been friends for quite a while and talked a lot about regenerative medicine and health and functional medicine.
But you come from the perspective of a surgeon.
I deal more with the kind of biology stuff.
Well, you do too, but in a different way.
We've had many conversations about the topic of breast implants.
And as a doctor, seeing patients for now close to 40 years, and if you include medical school, it's, I don't know, the math is 43 years.
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.
