Note from Ilena: I just became aware of this article for late 2003 a few days ago ... I wanted to share that the Humantics Foundation is indeed fully functioning and we have a new phone # .... 858-926-5505. Bravo to Mr. Dunne and thanks for his research and publishing of this article. I noticed below this article he discussed DU. One friend of mine's 22 year old son just returned from two tours of duty in Iraq with two melanomas ... research revealed that there may well be a connection with DU and melanoma. I believe firmly that both of these man-made catastrophes need more coverage in all medium. Ilena Rosenthal www.BreastImplantAwareness.org Director, Humantics Foundation http://www.sickofdoctors.addr.com/articles/inamed_implants.htm Keeping Abreast of Parasitic Implants URL http://www.sickofdoctors.addr.com/articles/inamed_implants.htm by Fintan Dunne, 16th October 2003Editor www.SickofDoctors.com http://www.sickofdoctors.addr.com/index1.htmAn advisory panel to the Food and Drug Administration has just recommended that silicone gel-filled breast implants be reinstated after having been banned 11 years ago on health concerns. Saline implants, are already widely available. The FDA usually follows the advice of these panels. Silicone breast implants are back. The panel was made up of plastic-surgery experts including practicing plastic surgeons. Are alarm bells ringing for you? One of those so-called experts was University of Texas plastic surgeon , who said afterwards: "The risks are well-defined and small. The patient can decide." But what if the patient is deciding based on false medical risk evaluations? Implant manufacturer Inamed told the panel that the rupture rate of its implants was 1.2% for women who had breast augmentation. Where can you get the truth about breast implants and their impact on the human body? Not from the manufacturers that make billions of dollars selling these toxic bags of ego gratification. Not from the US congress, and definitely not form the mainstream media.Ilena Rosenthal http://www.mercola.com/2001/jun/6/breast_implants.htm created and heads the largest breast implant support group in the world. Their services to those afflicted by implant problems are currently closed for lack of funding. She says her phone rings daily and her email is overflowing with painful calls from women realizing too late the web of deceit plastic surgeons and the silicone manufacturers have woven.The far too short, two day FDA hearing, heard from just such women. Women like Cunningham, now too sick to work, who told the panel her body was racked with joint pain after getting silicone implants. Women like Carolyn Wolf, who got silicone implants in 1971, following a double mastectomy, and developed blisters on her neck, rheumatoid arthritis and neurological damage to an eye, as silicone spread throughout her body. Even today silicone still oozes from her nipples. She pleaded with the panel: "We beg you, please protect the younger generation." To no avail. Are these just isolated incidents in an otherwise rosy picture? The truth will shock you. The implant industry been engaging in the practice of constructing deliberately false studies run by claimed independent researchers, some of whom the industry simply buys and sell. An outspoken critic of his own profession, Dr ph Mercola says studies never cited by implant proponents tell a far different tale. Not an over 90% plus success rate --but 90% failure. How has the industry managed to paint a picture of implant safety that is the polar opposite of the reality. The big lie has been achieved by a brilliant, multi million dollar public relations coup of enormous proportions. That PR lie has been exposed by media watchdogssuch as PR Watch. They found that among women who got implants for cosmetic reasons, nearly 21% needed a repeat operation. They found that for years, women have been lulled into a false belief, that they had a 95% chance of being rupture free. The contrary is true said the PR Watch report. Alarming, indisputable evidence was released in October 2000, when the FDA published one of the few objective studies which revealed that 69% of these women had at least one ruptured implant, most without any knowledge of it, in implants over an average of 17 years old. Other studies have revealed an over 90% chance of rupture within 20 years. An internal memo by manufacturer Dow Corning --uncovered by anti-implant activists from the 1990's-- had this sentence by Dow CEO Dan : "The issue of cover-up is going well from a long-term perspective." That cover-up has been orchestrated by the slickest public relations consultancy in the business, Burson-Marsteller. The tactics have been low and dirty. An internal memo by the firm wrote "Women (including celebrities) will be trained and testimony will be written for them to deliver before Congressional committees."Another internal document describes Burson-Marsteller's grassroots organizing tactics: "Utilize a well-known celebrity who has breast implants for reconstructive purposes to speak out on the benefits of them. Utilize spokespeople drawn from women's cancer support groups in major markets to defend implants by writing letters to the editor, participating in media interviews, and communicating positive messages to women's groups in their regions." It has been a campaign so slick and so prolonged that not only has the implant industry headed of litigation they once feared would bankrupt them, but, emboldened has had the sheer gall to force the implants back on the market. All hail the mighty PR machine. Too late, reality has struck thousands of ill and disfigured women who found their cherished breast implants costing them their insurance, their health, their beauty, their vitality, their families, their careers, and too often, their lives. The gel even crosses the placenta to affect unborn fetuses to scar a next generation.Truth is, implants are a big money earner for plastic surgeons and the manufacturers. Almost a quarter of a million women had their breasts enlarged last year -and the total is rising. But even those saline implants far from safe. In the spring of 2000, when the FDA approved two saline brands, the agency was already sitting on over 50,000 reports of serious adverse reactions from water-filled implants.Today, shares in implant manufacturer Inamed, soard 23% as over three and a half million shares changed hands, driving the closing price to $84, an all-time high. Oppenheimer analyst Noble, says Inamed will now: "be able to start cannibalizing their own saline implants and make more money." Interesting choice of word that: "cannibalizing"As women implant activists have cautioned cautioned: "Women need to opt out of the consumer society image industry. Don't they just. This culture has turned them into objects to be consumed by their own egos, lusted after by infantile males and preyed opon by the profit hungry body image industry. A woman is a person --not a product. Accept yourself, be yourself and for God's sake, take care of yourself. Because the breast implant industry parasiting on women is nothing short of pure unadulterated evil.Some parts of this report are culled from existing implant activist material OTHER TOP STORIES http://www.sickofdoctors.addr.com/articles/depleteduranium.htm FeatureNothing Depleted, About Depleted Uranium What if they started a nuclear war and never told you?When they said that depleted uranium was the US empire's weapon of choice, they lied. That word 'depleted' is a public relations spin. It makes it sound like the nuclear material is worn out. It's not. It's a nuclear warhead of solid uranium 238 in a bullet or a shell. It minimizes casualties among US forces. Casualties hard to sell to domestic opinion. Instead, the casualties are transferred to the future.
