Hello and my story!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I want to apologize for not contributing to the group here. I have

been pretty sick and not up to doing much, but with God's help and

healing may I be able to do more.

My name is . I am 25 years old. I got a McGhan(now Inamed)

BioCell 468 implant in 1997. I have not had any rupture of the

device, but am experiencing some bizarre symptoms which may be

related to the implant. I have had problems since early 2003 with

facial flushing. It is intermittent and seems to be increasing in

its duration and frequency of episodes. Have any of you here

experienced this? Also, I get shortness of breath, palpitations and

dull pain under my right rib cage that sometimes radiates down my

arm. This is the same arm as where I have the implant.

I have had numerous tests including endoscopic examining of my

esophagus and stomach, ultrasound of my gallbladder, breast

ultrasound, chest x-rays, blood tests to measure my ANA, sed. rate,

rheum. factor and blood cell counts. I am seeing my plastic surgeon

next Tuesday and am going to be insistent that something be done. I

have had almost constant shortness of breath and problems since

2003. If I do not get anywhere I will be contacting Dr. Feng, as I

am only 4 hrs from the clinic in Ohio.

This whole ordeal has been disabling and I am not able to go to work

or school. Frustrating indeed, but I know I am not alone as this

forum clearly demonstrates the pitfalls of getting implants. The

truth remains that implants are foreign devices and the body will

never recognize them as its own and will therefore always be on

alert. This explains the autoimmune problems that many women

experience. I feel as though women here in America are guinea-pigged

with dangerous devices and drugs that wreak havoc on their

livelihood. What is even more shameful is how the FDA 'approves'

this barbarism!!

I am currently eating more raw whole foods and am taking Primal

Defense. I want to get my body detoxified as well as possible, even

with the implant still inside me as it will be easier to recover in

the event I have it explanted.

God Bless all of you here. Thank you for letting me vent and if any

of you have any natural health questions I will try to help. I am

very interested in that area.

Sincerely,
