ASIA Syndrome: Can Breast Implants Make You Sick?

This is what can happen in some women with "Autoimmune Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants" (ASIA)

Who would have thought that something as seemingly harmless as a silicone implant could make you sick? But this is exactly what can happen when your body reacts against this material, gets confused, and begins to attack itself.

Why does the body attack silicone?

Studies show that the immune system can recognize silicone as a threat. And if you are also consuming enemy foods that your immune system identifies as threats, you’re overstimulating it, which can lead to autoimmunity.

In some patients, the adverse effects of these materials go beyond their intended function and may be linked to autoimmune or autoinflammatory diseases. Shoenfeld and Agmon Levin (2011) described the Autoimmune/Inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants (ASIA) as a group of conditions that result from a hyperactive immune response to adjuvants.

These manifestations can have a variable latency period (starting within weeks or even years) and result from the interaction between genetic and environmental factors that overload your immune system. These include:

  • Enemy foods that harm your gut—where 70% of your immune system resides
  • Infections
  • Electromagnetic waves
  • Psychological stress (which often gets blamed as the only “villain”—but it isn’t)

The combination of these genetic and environmental factors can trigger a cascade of reactions in your body, leading to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

This essentially creates a state of internal war or inflammation.

How to reduce the risk of ASIA or other autoimmune diseases?

If you’re considering undergoing surgery involving these materials, we strongly recommend applying your personalized 3R Immunonutrition Protocol!

Make things easier for your immune system—don’t give it extra burdens. The one thing most within your control (and that you do daily) is your diet:

  • Identify and remove enemy foods like gluten, dairy, sugars, and your specific sensitivities that overload your immune system.
  • Replenish with friendly foods that you can digest and absorb as nutrients.

So that you can recover your health and prevent ASIA through Immunonutrition.
