Re: while waiting for explant.....

Please don't be scared and angry--those emotions can only harm your

health. It is important to generate positive emotions for healing.

Emotions definitely affect our level of health. You have to do what

is right for you. There will always be women who will argue with

you

about this issue. You can't let them determine what you decide in

your heart is right for you. I am so glad I was explanted and I

feel

it has made a tremendous difference in my health. But my sister who

is a pharmacist has argued with me until she was blue in the face

that

studies prove that implants don't harm women and I am sadly

mistaken.

Nothing is going to change her mind. Many people have closed minds

about alot of things. All we can do is try to get people to see

what

we see to try and save others from making our mistakes. But if they

choose to think that implants are ok and we are nuts for thinking

otherwise, that is their problem. I think it is impacting you

negatively to be debating this with that group. And their opinions

may make you feel less secure about yours. Listen to what your

intuition is telling you, and then keep a firm hold on that. I am

praying that you will feel more peace and direction with your

situation.

Hugs, Kathy

Kathie,

s this email ring on the internet anywhere? If so, I may jump in and

offer some help.

I think Kathy gave you some great advice about how to handle this, and

yet at the same time I know that we have to fight ignorance in this

country about how the health industry works. I think many people are

looking at life through rose colored glasses. Things just aren't what

they seem, but when you start to think about how capitalism works, how

natural products can't be patented, how drugs and synthetic

supplements are, how businesses will do EVERYTHING they can to protect

their bottom line, and how the goal of all business is to make

profits, and then when you start connecting the dots and drawing the

lines between pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies,

Congressmen, the organizations that " promote and protect " certain

subgroups, the magazines, television, radio, newspapers and all the

other media, you begin to see how it all works. You gotta follow the

money! Once you see how that works, it all makes sense. Nobody is

going to do anything to cut their bottom line, and that means they

aren't going to say anything bad about those with deep pockets, no

matter how bad they actually are. And of course, the deep pockets can

afford the best public relations experts to make them look sterling

when they stink.

Just don't let all of this get to you! I remember when I realized the

truth about implants and all the rest that followed, I was on a

mission to try to educate other people. I thought for sure they would

want to know this valuable info!

In actuality, most people would rather stick their heads in the sand

than face reality. Reality is just too ugly sometimes. I had to

realize that for some people, yes, ignorance is bliss and let it go.

Kathie,

These organizations receive funds from the

manufacturers and plastic surgeons! . . . They won't

blame implants! If I remember right, one of the

organizations was formed at the instigation of the

manufacturers.

You needn't be scared! . . . I would guess that

between Patty, Lynda, Ilena, Lea and myself, we've

communicated with over 10,000 women who have gotten

sick from implants.

I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever your implants

are at the root of your health problems! I know the

others would say the same thing.

My concern is that getting stressed and angry is more

detremental to your health than you can imagine. . .

Please concentrate on getting your implants out and

getting well. Getting angry, blaming anyone, or

stressing over the removal is extremely

counterproductive. You must focus on health!

Hugs and prayers,
