Breast Implants Are Making Women Sick—Here's What's Happening | Dr. Jonathan Kanevsky

Women are being gaslight by the medical profession about breast implants. The gaslighting is essentially saying to women, these symptoms are all in your head or take some Prozac, you'll be fine. I have seen many cases of women with severe illness correlated with their implants. What's even more impressive is when they take them out, they get better. Silicone comes from petroleum.

So this is a petrochemical industrial product. We have not changed the fundamental laws of biology, which is you put in a foreign object, it is going to have a reaction. Until I could predict who's going to have an adverse reaction to breast implants, it seemed completely unethical to be putting implants in for an elective procedure. The old paradigm of surgeons just cutting and leaving, I think it's done. You call it surgery a ceremony.

I'd love you to unpack that. There is an altered state of consciousness, which is the medication that's using in surgery. You know, body keeps a score. It's trying to make sense of what's going on.
