Guest guest Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Dear Welcome to the site. So sorry to hear of your problems with implants. It is very sad but we all have been there. Thyroid problems are so common with implant illness. I personally am not completely clear why you need to do this treatment first. But I guess that is your decision and you must do what your feeling is best for you. I would get the implants out as soon as possible and then you can start to heal and try to get your thyroid to function properly. Are they going to remove the thryoid? Many Dr's like to remove thyroids and I cannot say what I would do in that position. I do really feel that to get better they need to come out and again I would do this asap. I was pretty ill when i got mine out but I did really well. Are you getting a lift too? Is this Dr knowledgable about implant illness? It seems like I have heard of him before.Anyhow, welcome to the group! Please let us know what you do and keep us posted about your upcoming surgery. Also let us know the specifics of the treatment you are going to undergo on your thyroid.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 , You may have already posted this protocol, but I just noticed the name--what is the "road back" protocol? ----- Original Message ----- From: JOSEPH PALANCA Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 8:00 AM Subject: Re: Any advice? , Wow! My name is and hearing your story made me gasp! I was 26 when diagnosed with not only hashimots(that was 2 yrs ago) which was making me hypothyroid, and also found I had a large nodule on my left side of my thyroid.(Last year I had that scan- before I knew better, be careful, it can cause further damage to your thyroid. The radiation is hard on it. I always ask for an ultrasound, to see if it has grown, and a fine needle aspiration-the best test to prove cancer or not. I recently had another ultrasound and fine needle aspiration (2 weeks ago)which showed I now have multiple nodules, not just one, and that is called a mulitnodular goiter which is common in Hashimtos, and is usually apart of the hormonal manifestation , not cancer. Only 10% of nodules are cancerous on the thyroid, and is more comon in men- I keep tellling myself this- So keep the faith!) It was at that point in which I was diagnosed (and thyroid does not run in my family) that I also decided to have my smooth saline implants removed. I had them for 8 years, and recently 6 months ago had them removed by Dr Kolb in Atlanta Georgia, I live in south suburbs of Chicago, it was a long drive! Immediatly after surgery my thyroid antibodies went from a steady (and quite startling!) 12,000 for a year (thyroglobulin) to 70 the week after removal, and has went down slowly since. If I go below 2, I am considered not to have this auto immmnue disease anymore.Something that all the docs told me would never happen, and the numbers would hardly budge in my lifetime. Obviously, the implants (which were surrounded by nasty infected capsules, took over 6 and 1/2 hrs to get them out as they were so embedded) were creating my body to react very strongly, and mistakenly attack my body.It is said in alot of medical dictionaries, and thyroid books, that Hashmitotos, and underactive thyroids are believed to be caused by an infection, well girl I had one big magor infection. Still do, the magor sourse of your problems is the implants themselves, they are the biggest burden on your bdoy, but afterwards , after the explant, you may then need to addre ss cleaning up what they left behind, chemicals, infections, food allergies, in order to heal fully. I am currently taking the "road back'protocol (which is long term low dose antibiotics)for my stiff joints as I tested positive for dangerous mycoplasma, which the implants are known to cause! I cant tell you how relieved I feel, how many symptoms have disapeared How clear I feel, and I love my soft breasts! Because of the thyoird problems, after the implants, I gained more than 20 pounds since then, so I was a small b when I got them, and went up to a 36 D, and now am a full b/c now. I am very pleased! I cant believe how our stories sound so much alike, and after hearing your name, your thyoirds issues, your nodules, and the nodule testing, the implants, the age...wow! If you have any questions, feel free ask,! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 The road back protocal is a program of taking low dosages of an antibiotic (like minocin) three times per week along with a diet of no sugar , no coffee, no yeast, long term to slowly kill off mycoplasama, which is a type of dangerous infection(that I tested positive for) as they believe that these infections bury deep within your synovial joints, on some organs (like the thyroid). Some people mistakenly think there body is overreacting and attacking itself (like auto immune diseases like Rhuematoid arthritis and thyroditis) but realy attacking a true infection that is on the organ itself, or within the joints. It makes good sense, and has a great history of sucess. If you read in alot of medical books, it says that often an auto iimune disease is triggered by "some type of infection" It is also based on alot of doctors extensive knowledge, and studies. If interested - Check out www.roadbackfoundation. com and also www.immed.org on this! >From: "~*Patty*~" >Reply- > >Subject: Re: Any advice? >Date: Sat, 7 Jun 2003 07:40:22 -0700 > >, >You may have already posted this protocol, but I just noticed the name--what is the "road back" protocol? >----- Original Message ----- > From: JOSEPH PALANCA > > Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 8:00 AM > Subject: Re: Any advice? > > > , Wow!
