About Silicone & Implants

I do not know what your financial status is - however; in California there is a medical program called ATP (may be available in other states). Ability To Pay - if you do not have cash or assets, you contact your local county hospital - administration and ask them about this and different programs for which you may qualify. They also have Social Workers to assist you, and many national organizations also have Social Workers available to help at a very minimal cost. Tell them how sick you are and that you need an appointment to see a breast surgeon. Another possible way to do it, is just to ask for an appointment at the County Hospital Breast Clinic. It is absolutely necessary to document your pain, suffering, and symptoms and bring this documentation with you to every appointment. You can get this done - you need to take action every day toward your goal so your health is not more severely compromised.

Yes! Click on the question above and it will take you to my web page which explains this. In most cases, you will need multiple doctors with all of your diagnoses. Many women suffering from Silicone Poisoning have never been diagnosed with this disease. They are frequently diagnosed with Auto-immune, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, cancer, various tumors, Multiple Myeloma, Connective Tissue, Rheumatoid Arthritis, glaucoma, carpal tunnel and tarsal tunnel syndromes, asthma, allergies, to name only a few.

Click on the question above and it will take you to the page in my web site which list just a few of my symptoms. Go to the Helpful Links page and visit other relevant web sites to research and learn about other women's symptoms that may be similar to yours. Remember that each of us has different symptoms depending upon how our individual bodies react to the silicone poisoning.

Because most doctors will not acknowledge that silicone poisoning exists. They mostly fear being ostracized by the AMA. Doctors that are knowledgeable about Silicone Poisoning and the devastating and debilitating effects of silicone and other implants are far and few between.

Usually because the symptoms are bizarre, to a medical doctor they appear to be unconnected with any disease in their experience. An M.D. thinks in blocks of symptoms that fit 'one' particular disease. Silicone Poisoning runs the gamut of symptoms and crosses lines of many diseases.

You need to consider having your implants removed (called explantation) before your health deteriorates. Many women report no adverse health effects for ten years. Every individual differs. One woman recently died of total body sepsis (infection) after only four weeks from implantation. Others report that they just thought they had the flu, had frequent colds, and never recovered. It is important to remember that it is always not only the amount of poison in the body, but the length of time the poison is in the body before it is removed, that does the harm. Silicone is made up of numerous major toxins and known carcinogens. Also implants have an average shelf-life of only 8 years. Many plastic surgeons never inform the patient the implants need to be replaced several times over your lifetime. They disintegrate, they sometimes burst from impact, they can leak, and they can adversely impact your children's health if you breast feed.

Prior to explantation, your body was using all resources to fight the invasion of the foreign matter (implants/toxins), possibly by encapsulating the implants, setting your immune system on major attack to fight off this huge amount of poison in your system. Once explantation or mastectomies occur, the body then goes into overdrive once again attempting to rid your body of the remainder of silicone and toxins in all your major organs and system. Think of how your body reacts to the flu, your head hurts, your stomach hurts, you throw up, you have diarrhea, your whole body aches, you have chills and fever. Silicone Poisoning is the flu a million times magnified over years.

Many do. Some don't. It may take weeks, months, or even years. It depends upon your personal physical constitution, the genetics you inherited, your positive attitude, diet, and good medical care without taking in as few other toxins as possible.

You don't necessarily need a plastic surgeon. A breast surgeon also does this. I recommend contacting your local Breast Cancer Society branch and asking if they have recommendations. Also contact your local County Hospital and ask if their Breast Clinic does explantations. Many women have listened to the Plastic Surgeon that implanted them - who usually urges them to leave them in, using fear of body disfigurement as a tool. Not if, but when, the implants leak, usually a Plastic Surgeon will encourage the patient to have them replaced. Remember that the doctor can say anything to you verbally and deny it later. You need to read, and re-read, the fine print on the surgical release form and the medical study research form provided by the manufacturer of the implants. I also recommend you visit the web site of Dr. Feng in Ohio. Many women rave about her care and her explantation techniques. If you cannot travel to Ohio, possibly she can refer you to someone reputable and experienced in your area. Please click on this link: www.drfeng.com

Many of the Breast Implants now being done are under the guise of "medical research" or were grandfathered into allow ability because of loopholes in the system, both legal and medical. Plastic Surgeons are one of the wealthiest groups in the world and have major access to lobby government politicians and agencies into not acknowledging the major inherent medical problems.

Many doctors go by the book - the AMA Gospel (American Medical Association) which is another political organization for the promotion of allopathic medicine - right or wrong. Many medical doctors fear being ostracized by their peers, or downright ridiculed in the media as 'quacks'.

You can. I did, from a Plastic Surgeon at a County Hospital. It takes much research and documentation on your part, persistence, educating doctors and other health care workers - which have much resistance to your knowing more. It depends on how important it is to you.

Absolutely! Many women fear ridicule from their personal physician. Implants are an important health factor in correctly diagnosing your health problems. And absolutely have yearly mammograms or MRIs to detect if your implants are leaking or deteriorating.

I have listed only a few of the 38 known ingredients in silicone which are major Neuro (nervous system) toxins and known banned carcinogens. Click on the question above to take you to the page within my web site.

This can happen because all injectable needles are coated with silicone for easier injection into the skin. Many body replacement parts such as hip and knee replacement joints are coated with silicone. It depends on your personal response to any amount of silicone. Lipstick has silicone in the ingredients. I suffer severe allergic reactions from Pledge Furniture Polish. Take the time to read the ingredients of any products you use, including beauty products.

Because deaths due to Silicone Poisoning are attributed to the diseases the person has been diagnosed with in writing in medical records such as various types of cancer, respiratory failure, kidney failure, liver failure, among hundreds of reasons on the death certificate. Those of us suffering, and dying, from Silicone Poisoning know the truth - as do our families. You need to consider the amount of advertising in newspapers, magazines, and the media in general by Plastic Surgeons, and then tell me these media outlets are going to cut off their nose to spite their face.

20. My daughter is 13 years old and only one of her breasts has developed, the other breast is much smaller. This is causing my daughter much embarrassment and I know it contributes to her shyness, so I am encouraging her to have breast implants. Why shouldn't I?

Your daughter's body is still forming. Her other breast may increase in size and catch up with the rest of her body over the next four to six years. All teenagers are self-conscious and embarrassed about something - especially feeling awkward in their newly blossoming bodies. You are the parent. Your child looks to you for direction. Are you teaching your child that her looks make the person? Are you teaching her the reverence of life as God gives it to us? Are you teaching your child, that if there is something she does not like, that there is a quick fix? What are the long-term ramifications of your own attitude on your daughter's. Are you willing to gamble with your daughter's health so she looks like society believes she should look?

I know that I am a woman who made a very bad decision to have silicone injections in my breasts in 1971. I have suffered for many years, and am now suffering the consequences of believing a medical doctor who told me the injections were perfectly safe. (Sound familiar?).

I say, "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do." You are not that person. Each person's body reacts differently to implants. Some women experience immediate inflammatory reactions to the implants. Others do not connect the nebulous, what appear to be unconnected, physical, emotional and mental symptoms they experience with having been implanted with saline or silicone implants until their health deteriorates to the point they are totally disabled.
