Holly,

Dr. Pierre Blais is the best one I know of to test implants and the fluids, and he is in Canada. I am sure there are others in the US, but I have no experience with them. Dr. Blais is very kind and helpful, and I know many women who have sent him their implants for analysis, including myself. He was quite helpful. His info is here:

Pierre Blais, PhD

Innoval

496 Westminster Ave.

Ottawa, Ontario,

Canada K2A 2V1

613-728-8688

FAX 613-728-0687

He worked the for Canadian equivalent of the FDA and warned of the high risks of breast implants, as well as testifying in many court cases about their dangers. He now has his own consulting business as an expert on failed medical devices.

He will be able to test them for mycoplasma and fungus to tell you what you have been exposed to, so you can know better what to treat for. He can also analyze the implants for failure.

Here are some links on him:
