CONTRIBUTED CONTENT — RedRiver Health and Wellness Center has been working with autoimmune patients from around the world for more than 10 years, and a growing trend we’ve been seeing is patients reporting onset of symptoms after their breast augmentation surgery.
Millions of women receive breast implants each year with the assumption that they’re safe and problem-free. However, breast implant illness is a real scenario for many of our patients who develop serious autoimmune and chronic health issues in response to their implants.
For years, breast implant illness was dismissed as a myth, but increasingly researchers have linked breast implants to a variety of health disorders, including cancer, autoimmunity and inflammatory disorders.
Breast implants can leak, break and grow mold, triggering the immune system into a state of chronic illness and creating a variety of “mystery” symptoms. Even if implants stay intact, they can trigger inflammatory responses and autoimmunity in susceptible women. Genetics, environment, toxic load and other factors play a role in susceptibility and autoimmunity.
Some people will develop symptoms immediately, while others will develop them years later. Many women report doctors dismiss their symptoms and concerns when they seek help.
While there is no guarantee explant surgery will eliminate symptoms, managing inflammation will nevertheless help significantly. Reduce inflammation and your toxic load through nutrition, lifestyle and proper supplementation. Anti-inflammatory supplements include NAC, turmeric, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D.
Furthermore, eating a whole foods diet rich in colorful vegetables, grass-fed meat, wild fatty fish and healthy carbohydrates will greatly help.
Danielle Valoras, a breast implant illness patient advocate and founder of the Breast Implant Health Summit, offers more information on her website.
