Re: Rogene......Call from Wash DC

[Guest guest]

Sis,

To my knowledge, there aren't any bills that would

affect breast implants . . .

What we are looking for is pressure on the FDA NOT to

approve Mentor and Inamed's petitions for approval of

the gel implants that the hearing last April were held

for. The FDA appears to be bought and paid for . . .

However, we have a slow but steadily growing group of

congressmen/women willing to speak up for us.

The platinum issue is the first one where we can link

a specific chemical in breast implants to the illness

women and children experience. The only source of

ionized platinum for these people is breast implants.

The scientists already know the dangers of ionized

platinum - so it should be an easy leap to make the

association between the health issues and the source.

I'm copying this to Keeling . . . she can give

you some speaking points on platinum. . . Her

organization, CANDO, spearheaded the research.

Thanks so much for contacting your Congressman/woman.

.. . So many have been contacted, but so few are

responding on this very important issue!

God Bless,

Rogene
