00:00:00.000 What up guys? Welcome to my reaction series. Today we are reacting to breast implants making women
00:00:06.160 sick. So modern women are desperate for attention. They want attention more than they want air and
00:00:13.280 food. This has led to more and more of them getting breast implants. While this may look good,
00:00:19.600 there are many risks in getting fake boobs that people don't talk about. More and more of these
00:00:25.140 women are getting sick from their implants and let's look at what happens when the women get
00:00:29.460 sick. Ladies, you may have them or know someone who does. Ladies, you may have them or know someone
00:00:39.080 who does breast implants. Approximately 300,000 women and teenagers undergo breast augmentation
00:00:46.000 surgery each year in the United States. The FDA says they're safe. But then why are thousands of
00:00:52.960 women claiming their implants are making them very, very sick? Today, a look at why many women are
00:00:58.840 choosing to remove their implants. This is the usual standard implant that I use in my practice.
00:01:06.660 Dr. David Rankin of Jupiter performs roughly 200 breast augmentations a year. So these are what you
00:01:13.000 would call the gummy bear implants. So they look like this on surgery day, but over time can look
00:01:18.520 like this. So how long had those been in a woman? These were about 15 years in this particular case.
00:01:31.360 And do you remember why they were taken out? She was having symptoms. We brought these women together.
00:01:36.660 They all had implants and all. Listen to the consequences of my own actions. I already know how
00:01:42.720 this is going to go. This is what women do. They get a surgery that has risks. They don't think about
00:01:48.260 the risks. They just want the reward. Then when the bad thing happens, they're going to blame the
00:01:52.860 doctors for not giving them informed consent. And then they'll get a media tour. Then I'm taking a
00:02:00.740 part of it because I, you know, I do this for work. So I'm going to, I mean, keep doing it ladies.
00:02:05.540 I'll be employed forever. So thank you. Experienced problems. Leg swelling, pain in the joints, the brain
00:02:14.500 fog, migraines. I couldn't even walk up a flight of stairs. Chronic yeast infections, sinus infections.
00:02:21.640 I was diagnosed with Lyme disease and lupus. I probably have a list of 35 to 40 autoimmune system,
00:02:29.260 you know, autoimmune things that I struggle with daily. Something is poisoning me from the inside
00:02:35.520 out. Dr. Marguerite Barnett has heard horror stories like these for years. Her Sarasota
00:02:41.660 practice specializes in removing breast implants called explant surgery. Why is all of this happening?
00:02:48.860 Kelly, I don't know. Part of it's too, they're done dating. So they might as well just take them out.
00:02:55.320 Let's face it. Our generation is in a testosterone crisis. Thanks to modern lifestyle,
00:03:00.700 poor diet and environmental toxins. Low testosterone can sabotage your health and vitality.

00:04:07.180 Some women like JLo will fight forever to be in the game, but at some point you're just like,
00:04:12.560 eh, I'm going to look how I look. Tell you the truth. I mean, the list is pretty long and people can
00:04:18.600 have these symptoms. You don't have implants. So that's why it's been, I think, a difficult slog
00:04:24.000 for people to figure out what's going on. I have been told that I'm crazy. I've had a doctor tell me
00:04:30.520 to put my big girl panties on and deal with my life. These women along. Yeah. So again, you know,
00:04:37.340 sometimes I think it's, um, the symptoms they, they say they get from a lot of this stuff
00:04:43.980 is just symptoms that come from an unhealthy lifestyle. Cause a lot of the symptoms they
00:04:50.940 list. I'm like, are you sure those were from the boobs? Like a yeast infection you could just have
00:04:55.580 cause you eat too much bread. You know what I mean? But it's going to get the more attention
00:04:59.860 saying it's from the boobs. I don't know if it is or it isn't, but I think too many women have them
00:05:04.620 nowadays and seem fine. Um, that I think it's that big of a problem with thousands of others
00:05:10.240 belong to growing Facebook groups where awareness and support are the goals.
00:05:15.420 There are women for years who have been sick and unaccounted for,
00:05:19.560 and they're still out there right now. I would say to anybody that has
00:05:22.880 lots of unexplained autoimmune diseases that have breast implants, consider that it could
00:05:30.360 possibly be that. There's still a lot of controversy. I would say 95% of plastic surgeons are convinced
00:05:36.920 that they're, they're harmless and they aren't making women ills. I still believe in breast implants.
00:05:42.220 I do close to 200 a year. However, I definitely think there's something, something to it. Um,
00:05:48.920 you know, just seeing, they don't care. They're going to make money. If women ask for the boobs
00:05:53.060 in or the boobs out, these guys are like, what do you guys want to do? We're going to, we're going to
00:05:58.060 cater to you so we can get our bag. These patients that are very sick, taking out the implant,
00:06:03.440 taking out the capsule and they're getting better. For some of them, it is almost immediate. For
00:06:08.640 others, it can take months to years before they begin to see improvement. It saved my life getting
00:06:14.300 my implants out. Um, they found that one implant was, uh, ruptured and, um, I had a rare, uh, fungals,
00:06:21.920 over 70 colonies of a rare fungal species in my chest. Ooh, okay. She might've had it. Ooh.
00:06:26.780 The silicone had eroded. You're back to normal? Uh, about 80%. I still have gut issues and,
00:06:32.720 and stomach issues, but I'm getting there slowly, but surely I'm getting there. And it's only been
00:06:37.520 four months. I've come a long way in 10 months. So I just want to say that, you know, there is,
00:06:43.520 there's a light after the tunnel. Now, explant surgery is not covered by insurance,
00:06:49.920 except in some rare cases. It generally runs in the $5,000 range. You may be curious,
00:06:55.440 what does the FDA say about all of this? Well, back in March, the FDA announced that women with breast
00:07:00.160 implants do have a low, but increased risk of developing a certain type of rare lymphoma.
00:07:05.840 But when I called and asked about a possible connection to autoimmune illnesses, I was told,
00:07:11.360 quote, we do not have evidence linking breast implants, link, linking, excuse me, breast implants
00:07:17.520 to a wider range of illnesses. The women I spoke to say they have come forward to let women know that
00:07:24.560 they're not alone. And if you're having these unexplained symptoms, you are not imagining it,
00:07:31.040 pursue it and get some help. Michael, I think if they track this, and that's what Dr. Barnett told
00:07:36.320 me, if there was a way to track the number of women who were having these symptoms and compare the
00:07:40.800 similarities, I think they'd have a much better handle on that. But we have been, since this story
00:07:45.520 was being promoted, we have been flooded with women who said, that's me, or I've already gone through it.
00:07:50.400 I know, as I've talked to you, as you've prepared the story and advancing the conversation is so
00:07:54.480 important, we thank you and a lot of brave women for helping to do that today, Kelly.
00:07:59.600 Isn't it the consequences of our own actions? Yeah, I mean, look, when you do any elective surgery,
00:08:06.480 there is a chance that it goes south. And women want the reward of the surgery without the risk,
00:08:12.160 and then always blame the doctors after and say they didn't know, blah, blah, blah. Anyways, guys,
00:08:17.040 let me know what you think in the comments. Make sure you like the video on your way out.
