Thanks Rogene, Ahhhh, a book! Now there's a challenge! Admittedly, it is something I'd like to do someday. Hey, who else talked about writing a book? Sis, was it you? I kinda remember something about that.... And then there was the other woman who had connections in the publishing industry, or journalism?? Do you remember her? I think her name began with a J? But she was going to write too...... It's been a long time since we've heard from some of our group members. I'd love to see alot more exposure on this, and Rogene, your group about the kids is one thing I'd like to see talked about ALOT more. We can't let these little innocent babies suffer....May God help all of us, and may we be used as instruments, mouths, voices, hands, whatever it takes to open the eyes of a blind world to the dangers we've

faced! HUgs, Patty Rogene S <saxony01@...> wrote: Great Letter Patty! . . . You write so beautifully! . . . Promise us that you'llwrite a book on this mess one of these days! Hugs,Rogene

Patty,

A number of the ladies have wanted to write a book . .

.. was one. However, as you know, when women

begin feeling better, they have a lot of catching up

to do and soon don't have the time.

Hopefully we can raise recognition of the children's

problems. The messages I get privately tell me that

the problems are more prevalant and severe that one

would know by reading the group. The mothers are in a

bind. IF they make the implant connections (maybe one

percent?), dealing with the children's health issues

in combination with their own feelings of guilt is

overwhelming. Never mind that women are STILL being

told that breast implants will not harm a fetus, or a

nursing child. . . . If the manufacturer's are so sure

of that, why haven't they done any studies?

BTW, I tried detox foot pads last night . . . one from

my massage therapist. They didn't appear to turn color

as radically as I read that they do. BUT, there was

sticky residue on my feet that scrubbing repeatedly

with alcohol has ALMOST removed. Silicone? I need to

ask my therapist if she experienced the sticky stuff.

I checked out her brand on line and don't like what I

read - so I'm not recommending it. They don't say what

the ingredients are - and are even asking for someone

to assemble them. You can't order them directly - you

have to go through one of their distributors. All the

writing on the packet they are sealed in is in

Oriental script. Instead of getting more of these, I'm

going to order a sample pack of Acupeds to see what

they do.

Hugs,

Rogene

---Awesome, Patty. I am emailing as well, and encourage as many of

us to do the same. Speaking out is definitely the answer. I hear so

many people hopeless and saying, " What is my voice worth? It's only

me. One person. Add all the " 1 persons " up and it makes alot of

people. Keep up the good fight!

Love 'n Peace,

Sunny

cp=228 & show=article & a_id=8628, I would like to state that while many

women are very happy with their implant surgery, you have seriously

understated the risks associated with this surgery. Safety takes

more than one form. You may perform the surgery in a " safe " manner

and make it one of your most safe surgeries, but for women like me,

implants are anything but safe. This includes saline implants.

>

> I received saline implants and they produced autoimmune symptoms

in me. The " safety " that you talk about does not apply to the risks

associated with autoimmune disease. In this case, implants are

extremely dangerous. No where in your article do you allude to the

tragedy of autoimmune disease or how devastating these diseases can

be, even though the manufacturer's inserts describe these risks.

>

> I was happy with my breast implants until they made me sick.

Only after it was too late did I realize just how deceptively these

things are marketed.

>

> It would be much more responsible for you as a plastic surgeon,

and the plastic surgery field in general, to acknowledge that some

women do become ill from implants. While not all women get sick from

implants, some do, and this fact should not be denied. I see women

on the Salinesupport group every day who are sick with the same

type of symptoms--young women in their teens and 20's who are

suddenly sick or young women who have had implants for 5 or more

years who develop rheumatic symptoms uncharacteristic for their age.

Many more women come who have had implants for a decade and are in a

state of disability, desperate for help.

> I know what the studies claim. But let me ask you this....if you

did a study to see if people died from bee stings, what would it

show? If you did a study to see if people reacted acutely to

shellfish or tuna, would you see the results that we know to be

true? I doubt that there is a large number of people who die from

bee stings, but there is a certain subgroup in the population who do

react tragically to bee stings or shellfish or certain drugs or any

of a number of different things and it is a real, valid response that

negatively affects their health. Why is it so impossible to believe

this occurs from implants as well?

>

> To ignore the truth about breast implants causing some women

devastating health issues is irresponsible. Doctors take an oath to

First, do no harm. Plastic surgeons are failing this oath--they do

harm when they insert breast implants into a woman who is going to

react, and the harm is multiplied when other doctors tell her that

implants aren't causing her disease.

>

> I see women on the Salinesupport group who are getting better

once their implants are removed. I see women whose blood work,

showing autoimmune responses, gets better and goes from abnormal to

normal after breast implant removal. Implants cause SOME women in

the population to get sick. The responsible thing to do is to find

a way to ensure safety for the women who are going to receive the

implants, and if they at risk for autoimmune disease, counsel against

them. You should not assume that NO ONE is getting sick from

implants, when in fact, women are.

>

> The onus is on you as professionals to First, Do No Harm, and

determine safety for ALL of your patients. By ignoring the true

risks, you live in a fantasy world of your own creation, believing

that breast implants are a miraculous invention for women, when in

fact, they are deceptive devices that can suck the joy out of life

through devastating illness and leave a path of devastation in its

wake. I know what I'm talking about, because I and thousands like me

have experienced just that. The truth is a different picture than

you have painted.
