>>> Hi I was able to pick up a few things you suggested at my health

food store, as far as candex and wobenzyme how much do you give a 3

year old and how often during the day?

What does it say on the Wobenzyme label as one serving or one dose?

that will give you a base line. In general I would suggest starting

with the Candex and giving 1/2 capsule at one or two meals per day.

If that sits well, go to 1/2 at each meal for a couple days, then to

1 capsule at each meal. Then start the Wobenzymes at one tablet with

2 meals a day, then if all is tolerated well, go to one tablet with

each meal per day...then add 2 tablets per meal, etc. Can you list

the first three ingredients in Candex? They have two versions and I

want to be sure you have the newer one. If at any time in this

process your child gets really jumpy or hyper, please post and just

stay at that dose for an extra day or so. This is typical in

starting enzymes. Here is the list of what to expect when starting

enzymes you might want to go over again.

That sounds strange. Please list all the ingredients of the Candex.

I saw something

>>>the wobenzyme ssay 3 tablets two times daily 45 minutes before

> eating so this morning

This one sounds right...about 6 tablets per day at least 30 minutes

before meals. Just keep posting how he is doing the rest of today,

tomorrow, etc. The first 3 weeks are usually the squirrely-est.

I don't think you have a poor education at all, you reflect much differently in

what you have to say.

Books do provide an education and not just books assigned you to read. Read

everything you can that appeals to you and maybe just a couple you do not

normally read and you may find a new subject added to your list of favorites to

read.

My suggestion is to stay away from the Book Clubs...they are almost as if they

throw a net out to see who they can ensnare and by joining it is very easy to

get into a vicious cycle of owing money and the books start coming rat a tat

tat. I know, been there, done that over the years. I find probably a good 95%

of my books at the GoodWill where they are usually marked no more than $2 for a

hardcover or .25 for paperbacks. The GoodWill's in my area have a 50% off sale

every two weeks on everything in the stores and I go down maybe once a month and

buy up 15 or 20 books. They are all in excellent condition and I keep the ones

I especially like and do not feel bad about passing on the others because they

didn't cost that much. Also, here you can take them back (along with anything

else you want to donate) and be given a 15% off coupon to be used at a later

date.

Keep up with your reading.....it is an education that will never end as long as

you keep reading.

Take care...lots of (((hugs))) and prayers. Remember the SMILES!

Hi ,

It's Lou (again). In your post to Dave, you

mentioned that you previously lived in Wake County.

Is " Ms. Helen " you're referring to, Helen Kaye? If

so, just wanted to get your opinions about her. I

contacted her this week.

A friend of mine has a little daughter too. Which

reminds me, I should call her today. Thanks for your

story about .

Thanks,

Lou

Your story is also just like mine. It is scary.

Hi

Boy you and I have alot in common. I too was given the RH neg shot

while PG with my son. I went into labor early and was given

turbutelene through an IV pump that was attached to my leg to stop the

contractions. I was in the Hospital for a month and

Somehow I got a infection from the IV. When my son was born he was

put on antibiotics for 10 days before I could take him home. He

recieved all or most of his vaccines in 1998.

If that wasnt enough, A nurse woke me up my first night in the

hospital and gave me a

couple of pills. It turned out to be blood pressure medication that

was meant for another patient.

Well i have had some symptoms off and on the past two years but i never thought they were related till i read some of the ladies stories. I am a christian and I believe that God is always looking out for us so I remember a long time ago "before" i got the implants that I ran across something on the internet about the dangers of saline implants but I wouldn't read it cuz I was dead set on getting them. So it was brought back to my remembrance several times within the past couple of weeks so i got brave and checked it out and found out that maybe my foot pain, dry eyes, minor breast/rib pain, neck/shoulder pain is from my implants. I could give other explanations for the symptoms that are legit but to have them all and hear these ladies tell of there problems I can't help but wonder if it is actually my implants. I hate to get rid of them. I love the way i look with them but I don't want to be disabled or die from them. I just wondered if I should get them out period or

go have tests run to see if that's what it is. Don't know how i would come up with the money anyway. But if it is the implants i believe God will make a way for me to have them out and before i end up so sick like these poor other women. I feel for them. Thanks for responding to my message!! Blessings! spinkscl <spinkscl@...> wrote: Dr. Huang in Denver, CO performed my surgery. I had surgery on a Friday and was able to have the drains removed the

following Monday. I also went home the same day as surgery. I took 1 week off of work. I believe the time the drains stay in will be based on how much fluid your body drains. I was pretty sick and my memory was bad prior to and during explant but I remember I had to empty the bulbs on the end of the drains once it got over 30cc's of fluid. It was about 3 to 4 times a day at first. The day I had the drains removed there was hardly any fluid left. YES you need the capsules which form around the implants out too!! I would say YES you need drains to get that gunky fluid out as well. This would be a proper explant. If you have been reading, you can see that the ladies who were not properly explanted are still stick. If you are going to pay to get them out, pay to get the out right or you will probably be back again having more surgery which will cost more money and more time off work. Even though I was

sick, I was lucky that I wasn't as sick as some. I think I was in denial though. I had many things that I blammed on getting older. When in all reality I am just as old as my husband and many friends and they had so much more energy than I had (they even have kids, I don't). You should feel blessed that you aren't sick. Good for you for being proactive. Also, if you weren't sick, how did you find us? Just curious, because I was getting sick and that is what prompted my research on implant sickness and brought me to this LIFE saving board. Best of luck to you. I hope you are able to get proper removal. HUGS & HAPPY 4th of July!!Lynn>> HI i am michelle. i started on here last weekend. I wanted to know what capsules are

I totally agree with you . I believe God led me here and

saved my life. I kept telling myself that it couldn't be the

implants at first because I read so much about how safe they were. I

also saw so many famous women with them and they seemed healthy. For

me, it was denial. About a year ago I started having horrible hip

pain. Nobody could diagnosis what was wrong, I had so many tests. I

saw a show on MTV where a girl told a story of how implants made her

so sick. So like you, it put a little bug in my mind. Then when

other things started going wrong, my first thought were the

implants.

Even though mine looked really good, they ever felt real. But mine

were above the muscle, so I think that is why. They also started to

get harder over the years. I had mine from 1999 until explant on

4/13/07.

I hope you can get your answers. I don't know if every women gets

sick from implants? Could just be a DNA thing. I really believe

that they are foreign objects and my body was fighting them for so

many years and finally started fighting my other organs. I now have

many auto immune issues. My doctors tell me my immune system is

attacking itself. My thyroid is currently under attack. It is

painful.

Anyhow, I will keep you in my prayers and I hope you can find some

answers. I personally don't know of any tests but the ladies on this

site can give you better information. You have come to the right

place.

Hugs & Prayers,

Lynn

Hi ,

I am a fellow Christian, and I can say that God has been so faithful

to me throughout my breast implant experience! He has made so many

things happen for me to get me back into a deeper, closer

relationship to Him, I have been so blessed. One of the first

things was when I realized it was the implants and that I needed to

find a surgeon to remove them. My implanting surgeon offered to

remove them for free, and that sure sounded attractive from a

financial standpoint, but I knew he wasn't going to remove them

right, so I passed on his offer.

I had no way of paying for or even seeing another surgeron in

another city, as I was a stay at home mom, and my husband had to

work. God provided! He made the way! First, there was an opening

for a consult with a PS only a couple hours away, and second, a

friend who normally was working had an afternoon off and she offered

to stay with my kids while I went to the appointment. I was the

last appointment of the day, so Dr. Hiatt spent a LOOOONG time with

me, I think 2 hours! He was so nice and he agreed the implants

might be making me sick. As for scheduling the explant, he was

willing to try to bill my insurance! So, we waited to hear from them.

That was another miracle! They agreed to pay for my explant. Not

only that, I needed/wanted a lift at the time of explant, too, and I

sure didn't have any money for it, but since the surgery was

scheduled for in the hospital, all the costs were covered. I had a

deductible to pay for and that was it. I was amazed. God was

surely making this possible and there was no other explanation I

could account for, as normally these things are not covered.

I could go on and on about how God has used this time in my life to

draw me deeper and closer to Him, but all I can say is that God is

truly faithful and is there for those who seek Him with all their

hearts. He has been a loving Father to me.

He will be there for you too!

Thank you for your letter!!! You really encouraged my faith! I have no idea how God is gonna do it, but i repented and I believe he will make a way. He obviously has led me to this site and so I believe He will make a way to get them out. I just don't know whether to go ahead and start my schooling again this august or try to have my surgery first. It all depends on how to get my surgery financed. And yes, I will want a lift too!!! If i may ask, how long is it before you can wear a regular bra??? I figured if I lost some more weight, maybe 20 pounds and got the surgery and was able to wear a padded/push up bra maybe no one would even know i had the surgery or had implants to begin with. I am kinda known for my um, large chest. I know it doesn't define me. I know who i am in Christ but I got the implants 11 years ago cuz I wanted that look. I am heavy on the bottom and these really even me out. I saw some pics on another site after explant and

was horrified!!!!! They were flat and deflated. I heard though that Dr. Feng in Cleveland puts fat into your chest and does a lift to help them look better. She is probably who i will go to. I heard she is the best in the field at this. Hopefully, God willing, my insurance will pick this up too. What do i do? Do I let my doctor try to bill it first or what?? Not sure how this allworks. Thank you again for being so nice and helpful.

Hi ,

It's me Traci in Toronto, Canada and yes, Praise the

Lord only 14 more days until I get explanted.

I'm know too for my big Boobs so I know how you feel.

I'm known as one of the " Breastkateers " at work.

I've made a very conscious decision that I am going to

fall madly in love my breasts once explanted and I

just won't acknowledge or care what other people

think.

I think I know which picture you may have seen of the

deflated breasts. It scared me too. As Rogene has

said before if you have a good surgeon, you won't have

to worry about it. You'll be fine. I'm not having a

lift done.

I'm about 100 pounds heavier than I was when I got

implanted 19 years ago. My surgeon told me not to

worry about the weight before surgery because I would

be surprised how quickly and how much better I'll feel

once explanted.

Hugs & prayers,

Traci

I was just posting a msg about volunteering. My daughter was special

needs. While I think I would be excellent with special needs children,

this is not something I am emotionally ready to do. I am still

reminded of my daughter when I see special needs children to such a

degree I wouldn't be any good to those babies. However, volunteering

is on my list of things to do for the new year. But health issues need

to be under good control first so working on me right now. We have

another program here I am interested in and have been for some time but

then it was I have to find the right therapy and it is still that but I

will be okay with good control of the pain at this time.

Take care,
