Information: Dr. Lykissa and Platinum

[Guest guest]

Dr. Ernest Lykissa, forensic toxicologist, formerly

worked for Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Tx.

He now owns his own lab with his wife Loretta (an

environmental engineer) called ExperTox, Inc., 1803

Center St., Deer Park, Tx. 77536 (located near Houston

in our industrial, chemical complex).

Dr. Lykissa uses state of the art equipment called an

ICP-MS (which can detect platinum in parts per

billion) and an Ion Chromatograph (to determine

ionization). It is recognized by the scientific

community that " platinum salts " (aka chloroplatinic

acid) can cause systemic disease in humans as a result

of toxic and/or hypersensitivity reactions. These

toxic and hypersensitivity reactions can range from

asthma, rhinorrhea, tinnitus, conjunctivitis,

urticaria, fatigue syndrome secondary to impaired

oxygen exchange, neurotoxicity, sicca syndrome, and

macular rashes.

Dr. Ray Biagini, Director Research Scientist/Research

Toxicologist at CDC/NIOSH states that soluble salts of

platinum are the most potent chemical sensitizers

known to man.

Dow documents indicate chloroplatinic acid 3-8015 INT

(PLATNM2) was used in mammary implant material

formulation. Dow notified the EPA Office of Pollution

Prevention and Toxics of substantial risk in a guinea

pig sensitization study of Dow Corning 3-8015

Intermediate (Platinum #2) on 12/27/96. Dow

apparently convinced the FDA in a meeting on 3/18/97

that any platinum that leaked from breast implants was

harmless and in small amounts.

Published German Research (2003) using ICP-HR-IDMS

states " the highest concentration (of platinum) was

found in the fat tissue from woman A who had a

" bleeding " implant. In the fibrin layer of womanC, a

higher platinum concentration was registered than in

her capsule tissue. The tenfold higher platinum

concentration in the fibrin layer may also indicate

the migration of this element through an intact

implant envelope. "

The CDC tested the urine of 1,007 randomly selected

people from the general population for platinum and

did not find significant levels of platinum. However

their current analytic methods are capable of only

measuring platinum concentrations as low as 0.04

micrograms (mcg) per liter in urine.

Because the medical community does not recognize

platinum poisoning from implants, we do not have good

research on how the platinum might be removed.
