Re: Thank you Patty, Cricket, , Lena and Dee...

CJ,

It's wonderful that your mom has not had problems thus far with her

implant.

Have you heard of the woman who, after 30 years, decided for personal

reasons to have her silicone implants removed (she was not ill) and

that after explant, she fell ill like the rest of us in here? She

had the same symptoms we have. Why? Don't know. It was as if her

body was holding the disease in her silently and after the implants

were taken out thus removing the home of the disease, the disease

then attacked her body.

Who is to say whose body is acting as a sort of conduit????

You know, it's kind of like so long as you are not grounded, you can

have electricity run through your body and you are fine but once any

part of you touches the ground, you're dead.

Also you should note how some women become ill.

For me it was slow and gradual.

But have you read Patty's story?

After implant, she was doing wonderfully for six months. Then BANG,

one day she woke up and was extremely ill. Couple of months after

that she was explanted and she has spent 5 years recovering. Her

illness came on all in a bang without warning!

Also, having the implants put under the muscle sounds great doesn't

it?

Think about this for a moment.

They will be lifting your muscle and squishing a big water balloon

underneath it. Nothing was intended to be under that muscle.

For me and for other women too as we have discussed this, we

developed shoulder and upper back problems due to the muscle being

strained. That muscle is being pulled on by having something shoved

underneath it and it pulls on the back and shoulders causing pain,

also pain in the neck. Those were my first symptoms, pain between

the shoulders and into the neck, which, of course led to headaches

and the pain from between the shoulder blades radiated down my arms

and cause problems with my fingers when typing.

As for your comment about genetics, you are from two parents, your

mom and your dad. How do you know you don't take after your dad more

than your mom? Who knows how implants would affect him, right?

Do you know about necrosis? Ever see a picture of an implanted woman

who got necrosis? If not, go to www.explantation.com. You won't

believe your eyes!

If ten of your friends came over to your house with a gun and one

bullet and said, " Want to play a game of Russian Roulette? " Would

you say yes?

I think not.
