I explanted in 2021 as well and had my implants in for 11 years. Feeling awful and declining health ever since, I'm now feeling much better!

I explanted in 2021 and got pregnant 3 months later so I never did a detox. I would be very interested to know what protocol to follow in order to move these toxins out. I had my implants in for 16 years and was told I was crazy for thinking the implants were the problem. This episode was comforting because it reminded me that I wasn't crazy and also not alone in this. Thank you for talking about this very sensitive topic.
