Sarcoidosis

[Guest guest]

My wife was diagnosed with Cardiac Sarcoidosis two years ago. Seven

years ago she was implanted with Saline filled Implants. She

does not present classic symptoms of Cardiac Sarcoidosis except the

discovery of inflammation in the thoracic cavity, including the

myocardium and a very small patch of non-caesating grandulomas in her

upper left lung. As a result of this disease, she has been implanted

with a ICD, placed on a dose of 20mg Prednisone or higher to suppress the inflammation and told she

has five years to live transplant free.

Doctors at the University of California, School of Medicine

report that for a woman with debilitating multisystem sarcoidosis

(multi-organ granulomas), her clinical condition dramatically improved,

after her silicone implants were removed. (International Archives of

Allergy and Immunology 105:4 [December 1994], 404-407). This journal

and many others suggest that there is a possibility that Anne Louise’s

inflammation is a result of her implants.

I am of the opinion that if the implants have one scintilla of a chance

of causing this idiopathic inflammation, an investigation is merited.

I would appreciate your thoughts on whether or not the possiblity

exists of the implants being related to the inflammation. And whether

you have knowledge of implants causing imflammation to the heart or any other vital organ.

Thank you.
