Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 It's really weird that so many of the things silica strengthens in our body are the same things that we show weaknesses in with symptoms from implant illness. Does anyone else find that strange? Like the hair....silica is so important for strong healthy hair, and yet so many women suffer gobs and gobs of hair loss when they get sick after implants. And bone strength...I never felt like I had such weak bones in my life! Right after I got sick, I could hardly lift a frying pan without having to hold it up with my other hand because my wrists were so weak. And the whole calcium-silica connection and our horrible dental issues...which I don't believe are due strictly to Sjogren's syndrome (or dry mouth). I never had Sjogren's syndrome, but I sure am having dental issues! Then the intestinal tract issues...the kidney involvement....the lungs...the hormonal issues...it goes on and on.... Is there something here between silica deficiency and silicone from implants? Are our bodies getting confused? God only knows.....I wish WE did.
