Silicone Parties Beware

As of July 2005, there was one recent death in San Diego County due to someone being injected at a "Silicone Pump Party". As I watched the news, I was horrified to hear a plastic surgeon state during this news broadcast that silicone in smaller doses is NOT toxic! Do NOT be deceived. Consider his motivation, it is called 'greed'. Even saline implants are encased in silicone pouches. Within 72 hours, every major organ, including your brain, has been breached with deadly silicone.

I have been hearing about these parties, and receiving emails about the horrific results since 2001 - that is 4 years! These parties promise instant 'beauty'. Instead, you would be injected with a Recipe for Death! Click on the Recipe for Death link and read the ingredients and you decide after doing research if you want ONE of these ingredients in your body!

Following are emails exchanged with a woman who had multiple injections of silicone into her breasts at a Silicone Party in Michigan just last year, 2001. Please help me get the word out to stop these Silicone Parties which I understand started in Florida and are rapidly spreading across the country. I have only seen limited media coverage on this.

Both men and women are being injected with industrial-grade silicone (yes, what you buy at your local Home Depot) in their breasts, lips, facial lines, hips, thighs, calves - and anywhere else these quacks can talk the participants of these silicone parties to have done!

It was reported that the people conducting these silicone parties - using friends to recruit their friends, like the Tupperware Parties and lingerie parties of old - are actually using industrial grade silicone - what you would seal your windows or your bathtub! Not that the silicone injected into my breasts was any better, in any way!

Read on - be prepared to be shocked! Tell everyone you know, circulate emails, whatever you have to do to inform the public!

"I just happened to stumble upon this website...in search of help.. I had silicone injected into my breasts last summer and now my breasts are hard, lumpy, and sore. I have spoken to several doctors. I am 30 yrs old. I have two children. I now know I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life.

Is there any one in the same situation that can maybe give me some advice or tell me their story? I can't think of being without breasts. I'm now looking into reconstructive surgery....."

First, forgive yourself. You thought this would be ok. You made a mistake. All women who are silicone injectees or have breast implants made mistakes - based on lies and bad information and propaganda by doctors and plastic surgeons and the manufacturers.

Did you read my story in the silicone poisoning section of my web site? I list some of the ingredients in silicone, list my symptoms, so please go there again, read or print out the information.

This is a totally illegal operation! I did not know it at the time, but it was illegal when the doctor injected me with silicone in 1972 - he told me it was medically approved! You were injected last summer!!!!!!!!! 2001???

It doesn't matter. Silicone liquid is like greasy slime that migrates all over your body. Mine hardened - it was my body's way of coping - none of the five breast surgeons had ever seen silicone harden. It looked like petrified sea sponge. There is still tons of silicone in every organ and tissue in my body, you saw my chest, the silicone becomes surrounded by capsules - the body's way of protecting itself from a major toxin.

No one - NO doctor can tell you that they can get the silicone out of your body - it is best to go to, or call, Dr. Feng in Ohio. She is a plastic surgeon and is well-respected by the women in the group.

Do not have reconstruction is my recommendation - your health has now been severely compromised - any implants or reconstruction makes it all worse! This, of course, is your decision. Please do plenty of research on the internet, visit many of the sites on breast implants by silicone survivors or saline implant survivors to KNOW the downside of any decision to have reconstruction with implants. Please visit my Helpful Links Page.

Call or go to Dr. Feng's website immediately - no matter where you live, you must speak with her about it immediately. The longer it stays in your body, the more it attaches to muscles and tendons. Just click on the link in this email below, there is a form to email for information. Be totally honest - tell her I referred you, although I have never met her. Below is her telephone number and also her email and web site address.

Thank so much for responding to my email. You seem to be so sweet and kind. I am so sorry you had to go through this. I just don't know if I will ever be able to really forgive myself knowing that at the age of 30, there will be a possibility of me not having breasts.

Could you please tell me how you are feeling now today and what is your condition like? Do you know of any women who have had injections other than yourself? I see you feel strongly about me not seeking reconstructive surgery. Why???

Yes, this was done last year. I started in July, 2001. The whole procedure lasted until October 8th. I could only take so much silicone at one time, this is what was told to me by the person who did it.

Hopefully this person will be caught very soon. I have been in touch with my local news station (Michigan). They are starting to get more info on these silicone parties. I will be interviewed soon on the story (which) should air sometime in May.

You know I must be an idiot, I don't have insurance I'm now in the process of getting Blue Cross on my own. But they may or may not decide to cover this. I don't have cancer. Do you know about any good health plans? Thanks again.

You are welcome, I have good days, I still tire very easily - have various severe medical challenges. I believe there are only about 10 injectees left alive - I have no contact with other injectees. These are all from the 60's and 70's. Maybe they are all gone except for me.

Who was the person who did this? Was it a medical doctor? How did you get involved with a silicone party? Before the story airs, you need to go to the police and report the person to the Medical Board and AMA - this has to be stopped.

Blue Cross may not cover it, many of the women in my support group could not get explantation of breast implants covered because it was elective surgery in the beginning.

You are obviously not an idiot - you are an intelligent person who did a very stupid thing without checking it out first. I actually went to a medical doctor in 1972 to have mine done, my friend begged me to go with her, she was having it done. She died long ago from all the complications.

Now you need to turn this into as much positive as you can by reporting these people - and telling the world. Take photographs with your digital camera of your chest, do it once a month so you can see the difference for yourself.

So the parties have spread to Michigan - egad. I am going to put a warning on my web site and do some PR - if you are featured in this segment, let me know how I can get a tape. This is bigger than local!

I would like to post your emails on my website - without your email address or your name, will you please give me permission via email? This will help to warn others.

Have you called Dr. Feng or emailed her, you need to get on this. I doubt that any health insurance will cover this surgery. What are your assets and financial situation? There are other ways to qualify for breast surgery - let me know and I can possibly help you with suggestions. Just give me a general idea of your finances.

I strongly suggest you absolutely must not have implants - honestly, you cannot! Your health is compromised and those only make it worse. You must make your own decision without being swayed by anyone else, including me. Only you can be responsible for your choices. I have talked to many women who have had implants rupture, replaced 3 to 7 TIMES and ended up sick, unable to work or care for their families - we have one silicone survivor die almost every week. It is so tragic. Please you do not want to compound this!!!!

As far as finances, since you filed for bankruptcy, you now qualify for ATP (Ability to Pay) which is through your county government. They have some of the very best breast surgeons and breast clinics at the county hospitals in the whole country! You need to call your local county hospital, talk to the finance department and ask if ATP is available in your state (county). My double mastectomy and all my medical bills were covered under this - I had no money, unable to work, I was so extremely ill, I would have died within 3 weeks if I had not had it done immediately!

Yes, of course, you can post my message with out my real name and with out my email address. I want to let everyone know how dangerous this is. Should Be headed in large letters silicone injections are no joke.

I did email Dr. Feng on Saturday, I haven't received a response yet!

I KNOW FOR SURE Blue Cross won't cover implants, but at this time that's my least worry. I'm just hoping and praying to God they will pay for a mastectomy on each breast. I need to get this stuff out of me as soon as possible.

I guess I will just keep interviewing doctors so that when, and if, I have coverage I will have already found a doctor that I feel very confident and comfortable with.

I have an appt. to see (a doctor - name withheld) at the University Of MIchigan Hospital in Ann Arbor.Mi. He is supposed to be one of their best Plastic Surgeons for breast reconstruction.

I applied for the Blue Cross traditional Blue plan. This only covers surgery and hospital stay. You pick the dr. with a 30 percent co pay. Oh yeah, and my finances what a joke. I'm not sure if I told you this, I had no business spending the money I did on the injections from the very beginning. I was told, "Oh, it won't cost that much. I'll only need to see you a few times."

I spent well over four thousand dollars, which I did not have. And in order for me to keep paying her to inject me, I had to stop paying my bills...at that time I was totally addicted! I couldn't stop in the middle of the process. So I ended up being 5 months behind in my mortgage.

On April 01, I filed for bankruptcy just to be able to save my home! Can you believe this? Now, I need to fight to save my health! I have so much to live for. I have two kids 10 and 7 years old.

I have to stay as well as can be. Their father can't help me, he can't help himself; and I can't get a loan against my house because I just filed for bankruptcy.

I don't make alot at work, so I know it will take a couple years to save the money. So, honey, my best bet and only hope right now is medical insurance. Also, today, I spoke with a lady from Washington who works for the FDA. This was a follow-up call because prior to this I had spoken to someone else. They will also investigate this.

Well, I hope I didn't lose you. I have a question....I read from your website you take vitamin... b. Does this flush silicone out of your body????

I'm just wondering what I can do to start building up my immune system now...or if anything will help.........

....I understand the consequences in having implants. Right now my concern is being healthy...so I just want this stuff out of me...I will find out about ATP. Just one other question, does taking vitamin B really seem to help????

" Vitamin B8 - Inositol - yes, it helped me, and I have heard it helps others to detoxify, but always check with your primary care physician before starting any regimen."
