Calcium metabolism disruption

[Guest guest]

Here is the passage from Torn Illusions by Pamela Stott -Kendall on the calcium disruption:

(page 154)

"Silicone gel is home to many complex chemical substances, including cyclics (substances which stay in the gel, as by products, after the chemical process is completed.) It is a matter of concern that these cyclics are pharmacologically active. So active, according to Dr. Blais, that they were proposed for medical use by Dow Corning as psychotropic drugs, earlier defined as anti-depressants and tranquilizers. Dr. Blais has stated that corporate documents certify that Dow Corning patented some of the cyclics contained in implants.

The presence of cyclics in silicone gel is more than unsettling, for one can imagine the possibilities for chemically-induced neurotoxicity and even an alteration of the psyche in women who have gel implants. Moreover, Dr. Blais has reported that the cyclics are capable of derailing calcium metabolism, which results in an aggressive depletion of bone mass. I am now suffering this bone density loss. Whether it is due to the premature loss of my silicone-invaded ovaries and consequent estrogen intolerance, or the acceleration of the process by the calcium robbing cyclics, this condition resulted from my silicone implants."

Barb,

By the way, that stinks about your front tooth breaking off!!!! Have you been able to get it fixed?

It is weird how some of us have dental problems...and unusual ones at that. Makes me wonder what is going on there? I know Dr. Blais at one time stated that silicone disrupts calcium metabolism--I read that in Pamela Stott Kendall's book, "Torn Illusions"--maybe that is a factor in our dental problems?

Anyway, I hope you were able to fix that...
