Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 I just got a letter from Dr. Blais and it said my McGhan implants had a faulty valved that leaked fluid from the outset. Also, it said it showed severe colonization of at least 2 viable micro-organisms and my capsules showed stagnant fluid pockets. I am still waiting for the whole report but did anyone else have this faulty valve,severe colonization,etc? Any info or advice please Thanks, Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 , Yes, it is good we have a great Dr. over here in the east coast. At times I think I am healing and other times I feel lousy. A big problem I have is I lost too much weight and can't gain it back . I haven't done any major detoxing yet , but I do take lots of supplements. I have improved a little in the past month , I hope I continue to improve. I do have to start a light excercise program soon. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 My personal opinion is that I was sick from the implants themselves, just an allergic reaction. I don't know this for sure, it is just my gut feeling, my inner voice, or intuition or whatever, and usually that inner voice is right on. For me I think I would have reacted to anything, I just feel my body does not want foreign things in it. I have no idea why I never reacted to my belly ring though, it is made of titanium!I just feel that if it was more bacterial or micos that I would not have gotten well as much as I have, it would have taken more treatment with antibiotics. Of course I could be wrong, Barby your situation may be totally different, but you also seem to be healing quickly right? Anyhow, who knows, I just know I am better that is the best thing! GOsh girl your doing great, I am extremely proud of you, and also think it is so awesome to know we have another great Doc for girls on the east coast!

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 I agree with your post here totally Patty, we have to assume it is the combination effect. But like I said, that inner voice tells us allot, I always think that we, as women esp have a sixth sense, female intuition, sounds corny but I truly believe we have it.

I've listed alot of natural healing methods in our archives, so be sure to check them out. Garlic is my number one favorite to recommend, as you all know by now! Then there is oregano oil, olive leaf extract, grapefruit seed extract, and coconut oil. I am sure there are others, but these can get you started. Do an internet search, and you will find scads of information to help you out. > Wishing you the best in healing, > Hugs, > Patty > ----- Original Message ----- > From: barbsul2002 > > Sent: Friday, November 28, 2003 10:33 AM > Subject: Re: Faulty valve > > > Patty, > I was wondering what exactly I got ill from, was it the colonies of > bacteria in the implant leaking through the valve or the silicone in > the shell or both?

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 Hi! I too, feel that my body just doesn't like foreign objects. I should have taken a hint when I found out that I have to keep my earings (must be sterling silver or gold) in 24/7 to keep the hole from closing up! Yep, within just a few hours, my body starts to seal those two small holes. It would be nice if P/S would ask something like, " Can you wear fake earings? " , or " How does your body handle your piercings? " Something, anything, to help deter people who's bodies might be more inclined to reject implants. But of course...saline breast implants are " perfectly safe, " as your body is made up of salt water....blah, blah, blah.
