Charlene,

I am so disappointed for you that the surgeon did not remove the capsules!! You are so right about choosing a good plastic surgeon for explant. It is so very important that it be done right. I am sorry that you have to go through this again. It is a hard thing to do, but I want you to know that you are not alone. I know quite a number of women who have been lied to by their plastic surgeons about this and other issues! It is criminal, and these plastic surgeons are so arrogant to think they can get away with this. They may get away with it in some cases, but in the final judgement, they will be standing before a more righteous judge than they find here on earth. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes. I know it is no consolation now, but you must move forward and do what is in your best interests. I am thankful that you are doing that.

Dr. Feng will take such good care of you, I am so pleased that you are going to be able to see her. She will get out every last bit of the scar capsule, and you can begin healing again.

In answer to your letter about detoxing, there are many ways to start a program. You would probably do best to follow a protocol like Dr. Kolb's, although hers is not the only one by any means. There are many books out about detoxing, and they all discuss similar means of getting the body to release toxins--here are a few titles that I can recommend:

Dr. Jensen's Guide to Better Bowel Care, A Complete Program for Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management By Dr. Bernard Jensen

7 Day Detox Miracle, Revitalize Your Mind and Body with This Safe and Effective Life-Enhancing Program By ND and Barrie, ND

14 Day Herbal Cleansing, A Step-by Step Guide to All Natural Inner Cleansing Techniques for Increased Energy, Vitality and Beauty By Laurel Vukovic

The Rebellious Body: Reclaim Your Life from Environmental Illness or Chronic Fatigue Syndromeby Janice Strubbe, Rn Wittenberg, Randy S. Baker

In a nutshell, you need to do things that will help your body start dumping its toxic load. These things are the most commonly recommended:

-Drink more water, never tap, only purified. Drink at least 64 ounces daily.

-Eliminate meats because they lack fiber and carry a toxic load from the red dyes, the antibiotics and hormones that are injected into the cow, are high in saturated fats (which promote inflammation). The exception to this rule is to eat free range, hormone and antibiotic free beef bought at a health food store, in smaller quantity

-Eliminate sugary, processed junk foods. Sugar zaps your immune system and provides not a single nutrient and in fact, robs your body of nutrients in order to process it.

- Eat only whole grain foods, no white flour products. Instead of white bread, eat whole wheat bread. Instead of white pasta, eat whole wheat pasta. Whole grain products provide higher quality nutrients and much needed fiber. White flour products are very highly mucous producing and lack fiber and nutrients.

-For protein, eat legumes, lentils, nuts and seeds. Ounce for ounce, lentils provide more protein than steak. Legumes also are very high in fiber. Fiber is absolutely essential for removing toxic residues.

-If you eat fish, make it deep ocean fish, such as orange roughy, salmon, mackerel, halibut. Avoid tuna and lake and river fish due to the high mercury content. Fish is beneficial because of the Omega 3 fatty acids, which reduce inflammation. However, you can get Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids in capsule form to help reduce inflammation. Look for evening primrose oil, borage oil, fish oil caps, black current oil and flax oil. Make sure it is organically grown, cold pressed, and store it in the refrigerator to avoid rancidity.

-Eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables, organically grown, and eaten raw as much as possible. Go by the rule of eating things as close to natural as possible. Avoid boxed, bottled and packaged goods. Avoid food dyes, preservatives, chemicals, etc.

-Cleanse your colon regularly to move toxic burdens out quickly, either through enemas or colonics. Once you are familiar and comfortable with this, investigate the excellent benefits of the

coffee enema. (Yes, I wrote what I did, and it works.)

-Fast one day a week to give your digestive system a break, and if you are up to the challenge, go on a 3 day fast, drinking lots of water only.

-Exercise daily to keep the blood pumping and oxygen flowing.

There are other deep cleansing treatments you should do, but these will get you started. Once you have addressed the elimination of toxins from your daily diet, you can focus on killing the things that are there that should not be, such as viruses, fungus, bacteria, parasites and other pathogens. There are so many natural means of doing this--the big ones I always suggest are garlic, ginger, cayenne, olive leaf extract, grapefruit seed extract and various herbs. Caprylic Acid and garlic are very effective on yeast (or candida). Just eating right and giving your body a break from the heavy load of environmental toxins it is exposed to daily will help, but the real kick comes from eating those things that protect and rebuild your immune system.

Hope that helps, Charlene! I hope you are feeling encouraged. Please write if you have more questions.

Love,

Patty

Subject: Re: For Charlene

Hi Daryl,Well, I hope I could be of some help to you.Let's see. I think that my vaginal problems are linked to a low testosterone problem probably caused my thyroid problem which in turn was caused by my implants.I was recently put on thyroid pills and a natural testosterone supplement. I feel that my sex drive has gotten slightly better but I have to wait and see I have been on these pills for about 3 weeks.I have an appointment with my doctor in two weeks to follow up to see if my testosterone levels have gone up and thyroid down. You might want to check your hormones and t3, t4, and there is another test as well, maybe th. I'd have to double check. There are other people I spoke to who have had the same problem. So, don't feel like your alone.I just found out that my surgeon did not completely remove my capsules and therefore I am going in for another surgery with dr. feng. She told me that if my capsules aren't completely removed than I will never get better. Daryl, if there is one thing I learned about implants, is that they should be explanted. Please do it sooner than later. I waited too long to get mine out. I will send you a more detailed message tomorrow. If you would like to contact me at home please do my phone number is 4163983578. But please don't call before noon!!! I sleep alot :-)
