brenda: Made a choice

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

I wish you the very best. Please keep in mind that every breast

implant that has been created was marketed as

being " safe " , " new " , " improved " , etc. They have all failed, as you

can see by following the history of implants. I believe the safest

route is to perhaps find a way to grow our own tissue. Even that

may carry some rejection rates, don't know.

At least you know more than many of us when we started this route.

If you decide to go ahead with the surgery, just monitor your

health. We'll be here if you need us.

ps. I would also encourage you not to have children while implants

are in your body, silicone can cross the placenta, that much is on

the FDA site.

hugs,

Beth

Beth, I bought some gelatin capsules. I crush the garlic with a garlic crusher and scoop it up into a capsule then swallow them with lots of water. Also, it helps if you do this after eating to prevent it from burning your stomach. I usually do five capsules at a time. I noticed the swooshing in my ear which I have had for eight years went away when I started the garlic! I don't understand it but I'll take it.
