Detox Your Body
Get Your Glow Back

Breast implants are essentially two permeable bags of toxic chemicals and heavy metals implanted in your chest over fragile organs and glands that leak much earlier than you expect.  Having breast implants in your body is not going to end well because everyone is affected by the aggressive chemicals and heavy metals that are associated with silicone and are defined as carcinogenic, cytotoxic, neurotoxic, and endocrine disruptors. Breast implants add nothing but they steal your health, beauty, energy and glow. Breast implants are the opposite of health and beauty. In this section we cover step-by-step guidelines to help you support your body’s natural detoxification and healing after explant, including important genetic MTHFR information and information about chemicals and heavy metals associated with breast implants.
