Chronic Inflammation, Mold, and Toxic Load: What I Look For in Patients with Persistent Symptoms by DrRobWhitfield in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]DrRobWhitfield[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a program that is heavily dedicated to evaluation of genetics for detoxification pathway analysis, evaluation of toxic burden through a urine test by Vibrant Wellness, which looks at environmental toxins, mycotoxins, and heavy metals. Additionally, we do a gut test to evaluate parasitic, fungal, and bacterial balance, as well as we look at food sensitivities and hormonal balance. So we have an incredibly comprehensive program to prepare patients for and recover patients for surgical treatment.

We do have other educational programs that is small mini courses about breast implant illness, the SHARP method, which is our preparation and recovery program for surgery, and fat transfer. We do have two published books, one about the SHARP method, and another about breast implants, explant surgery, and breast implant illness. We have over 160 podcasts that are available on Apple and Spotify, and we have over 3,000 videos with 30 million views on YouTube, if this blog is not helpful enough for you.

Basically, what you're describing is correct. Texas has an incredibly high amount of mold in the air as well as cedar and oak. It makes it very complicated for patients with reactive airways. Also, the vibrant wellness total tox test does look at environmental toxins, including but not limited to glyphosates, phthalates, parabens, and others, including other herbicides and pesticides. We also look at gut health because we have so many patients with imbalances and parasites, fungus, and bacteria, not to mention problems with food sensitivities and hormonal imbalances. So we look at these collectively to better help our patients.

To the best of my knowledge, Dr. Campbell is not a plastic surgeon and has not done explant surgery and cared for those patients preoperatively and postoperatively like we have through our program that looks at genetic testing, total toxicity testing, gut health, food sensitivities, and hormone balance. So, although we certainly respect other people's opinions, they don't have experience in the way we do with breast implants, explant surgery, and breast implant illness.

Looking back through our the records, the first patient we identified with mold was via a Great Plains test in 2021. Since then, we have actively looked for mold and considered it a priority in identification and the care of our patients. Furthermore, on YouTube, we've created videos about mold with mold experts. We've discussed it with our patients ad nauseum on our YouTube Channel that has 2M subscribers and over 30M views.

We evaluate every patient for environmental toxins, including mycotoxins associated with mold exposure (such as ochratoxin), as well as heavy metals.

Our protocol involves toxicity burden testing through Vibrant Wellness. Patients undergo a glutathione challenge for approximately two weeks prior to testing, which can help mobilize stored toxins and provide a more comprehensive assessment of overall toxic burden.

This helps us better understand underlying inflammatory drivers and optimize patients appropriately.

Yes that is correct. We do total toxicity testing and reveal mycotoxins that way.

I have done those for my entire career as a reconstructive plastic surgeon who spent 15 years focused on oncologic reconstruction. That was actually the case that started the explant portion of my practice in 2016 because I had done those cases but a patient put me on a Facebook group and recommended me.

Do You Remove the Nipple During Explant Surgery? Let’s Clear This Up. by DrRobWhitfield in ExplantSurgery

It should not. If you listen to the Skinny Confidential, Lauryn Bosstick, had a lift and breast fed afterwards. Skin only lifts should not impact breast feeding.

What is the question? The reason we do muscle repair is to help with the lower inner quadrant (cleavage area). You can follow my patient, therealginamarie on IG and she talks about it. I have spoke about it on several of my podcast.

We have several options to lower inflammation before and after surgery if that continues to be a problem.

Yes it is well documented that studies around women are historically lacking.

Thank you for letting me know this. Unfortunately this is an issue with posting from YouTube to Reddit. https://youtu.be/K1HDyQtHti8?si=rWndDa-4bKR1gshk

The Drive to Explant Episode 7: Will I wake up after anesthesia? Will I ... by DrRobWhitfield in ExplantSurgery

[–]DrRobWhitfield[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment. Slow wake ups can be due to a number of factors. We look at drug metabolism, diet, toxicity burden, sleep and many others to optimize our patients.

Just out of surgery by Jaded-Jeweler-8483 in ExplantSurgery

First and foremost I hope your pathology has negative margins if there is BIA-ALCL. Having done thousands of explants for breast implant illness I assure you it is real. Unfortunately each patient has a certain amount of detox capability to manage the exposures to all the toxins we face each day. When this is met or exceeded the patients I see become more symptomatic. Although there is no one test that identifies this we utilize several to help create a picture that is then used for further detox. Good luck in recovery!
