Hi Patty,

Thank you for all your help.

I would like to buy the product Natural Cellular Defense but I am having trouble getting it due to where I live. Do you know how I can get it and have it delivered to Tenerife?

Hi ,It makes me so sad to read your story! You have been through so much. And it is a scary situation to be the sole parent of your children (I am so sorry to hear of your husband's sudden death. That was traumatic enough, I am sure.) and be so sick. I remember how difficult it was to be a good mommy to my kids when I was so very ill.All the symptoms you mention are just so classic for implant disease. And that goes for silicone gel, saline, soya (what our Ilena derisively calls "tofu titties"), double lumen, or anything other kind of implant that the manufacturer's have managed to market. They all produce a classic constellation of symptoms that are very telling.The itching can be from various sources, but one that seems probable is due to liver congestion or neuropathy--both problems associated with implants. Many women have this itching phenomenon, as well as muscle twitching, numbness, tingling, and so on.We do have contact links for you in England, as well as members from this group who are in England and who may be able to provide you some support. Dr. Sara Myhill is one who seems to understand this silicone illness, and so I hope you will consider seeing her if you can. I will provide some links for you.
