Shame on DOW!

[Guest guest]

In 1954DOW CORNING/CHEMICAL FINDS THAT SILICA IN SILICONE IMPLANTS HAS A HIGH ORDER OF TOXICITY.In 1954/55DOW CHEMICAL WAS INFORMED...by scientist H.C. Spencer in 1954 that silicone causes health problems, and by Dow Chemical scientist, V.K. Rowe in 1955 that silicone spreads throughout the body, and causes organ damage!!!.In 1960Silicone injections were classified as a criminal offense

In 1968A SECRET STUDY CONDUCTED BY DOW, REVEALED THAT DOGS WERE IMPLANTED WITH SILICONE GEL FILLED BAGS, AND THE SILICONE LEAKED AND DISPERSED THROUGH THE SYSTEM.In 1968"Cockroaches went into the silicone fluid only...and...never got more than a few inches from the dish before dying..." (Texaco and Shell studies obtained from Dow Corning).

In 1975"I don't know who is responsible for the decision (to put faulty implants on the market) but it has to rank right up there with the PINTO GAS TANK!!!" (Bob Schnabel. Dow Salesman, in letter to his boss).In 1975PLASTIC SURGEONS COMPLAINED TO DOW CORNING THAT THE IMPLANTS WERE OILY AND SEEMED TO BE LEAKING, SALESMEN WERE INSTRUCTED TO WASH AND DRY THE IMPLANTS BEFORE SHOWING THEM TO DOCTORS (Buyers).In 1975DOW CORNING'S COMPANY TRAINING VIDEO FOR PLASTIC SURGEONS IS EDITED--TO DELETE--REFERENCES TO IMPLANT RUPTURES.In 1976THOMAS TALCOTT SENIOR DOW CORNING MATERIALS ENGINEER, LEAVES DOW CORNING IN A DISPUTE OVER THE SAFETY OF SILICONE.In 1976DOW CORNING STUDY REVEALS THAT THE LINING OF SILICONE IMPLANTS, LOSES STRENGTH WHEN SITTING ON THE SHELF.In 1976ART RATHJEN A DOW CORNING TECHNICAL SERVICES SPECIALIST COMPLAINED ABOUT THE LACK OF ANY SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE, FOR SAFETY OF SILICONE.In 1978DOW CORNING MISREPRESENTS IN A PATIENT BROCHURE, THAT LABORATORY STUDIES PROVE THAT IMPLANTS LAST A LIFETIME.In 1978WILLIAM BOLEY (DOW CORNING'S CHIEF OF BIOMATERIALS SAFETY) SAID THAT IT IS HIGHLY PROBABLE, THAT A WOMANS' ONSET OF LUPUS IS CONNECTED TO SILICONE IMPLANTS.In 1978DOW CORNING STARTED RECEIVING COMPLAINTS FROM SALESPEOPLE AND SURGEONS, THAT IMPLANTS CAN SPONTANEOUSLY RUPTURE.In 1985WILLIAM BOLEY AND OTHER DOW SCIENTISTS CONCLUDE, THAT THE PREPONDERENCE OF AVAILABLE DATA SUGGESTS THAT SILICONE CAN PRODUCE IMMUNE MEDIATED DISEASES.In 1990"At hearings in December 1990, Dow Corning misled the House Committee on Government Operations by testifying that silicone posed no safety problems or health risks. In addition, Dow Corning also refused to provide key documents requested by the committee"Rep. Traficant.In 1992THE FDA LIMITS FUTURE SALES OF SILICONE BREAST IMPLANTS!!!.In 1993"...There were no tests for implant materials...All we could do was put it in and look and see what happens. There were no standards.There was no protocols..There was nothing."..(Silas Braley desposition, former director,Dow Corning's Center for Aid to Medical Research.1993).In 1993DOW CORNING ACKNOWLEDGES, THAT SILICONE MAY NOT BE INERT.In 1993CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER FOR DOW CORNING SAID, "IT CLEARLY RAISES MY CONCERN THAT SILICONE GEL MIGHT CAUSE IMMUNE-SYSTEM DISEASES".In 1994PLASTIC SURGEONS FILE LAWSUITS AGAINST DOW CORNING FOR DAMAGING THEIR REPUTATION, AND FOR MISREPRESENTING THE QUALITY OF THE IMPLANTS.In 1994If you have (or had) a ruptured silicone breast implant, you will be denied Health Insurance Coverage..
