Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Anne ~ I have sent you info privately. I feel you need to see a cardiologist for peace of mind. Please read it and see if you think there is any relationship. I had a heart attack and didnt go to the doctor until 8 months later when I was within about 15 minutes of death with severe dialated cardiomyopathy....My symptoms were nothing what I thought would have been heart related.....

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Dearest Anne, I am really unable to offer any insight into your condition, other than to suggest that you start seeing naturopathic doctors who understand toxicity better than MD's do. I don't know if you have a lymph condition, a heart condition, an endocrine system imbalance, or what it is...yours is a very complicated impairment, but I believe the ROOT of it is toxicity. If you've had test after test after test that has shown NADA, nothing, no abnormality, then you are pretty much done with those doctors. They can't seem to help you, except helping to drain your wallet of money. Toxicity is a root of so many illnesses, but MD's only treat with drugs, not with detoxification. There is a groundswell of opinion at the grassroots level that we are completely on the wrong track by trying to " fix " all these illnesses in our country through drugs. Drugs are a bandaid. The real root of the problems we face lie in our SAD diet (Standard American Diet, which is SAD indeed), and our toxicity and sedentary lifestyles. Natural and holistic medicine is seeing a revival in this country because people are becoming more and more aware that we are killing ourselves by poisoning. It's time to purge ourselves of all of this stuff. Detoxification worked for me....I did not have to use doctors to get better--only for testing to find my thyroid problem. I did my detoxing at home or through clinics that offered treatments I believed in. I think all of us should start with detoxing, get treatments as needed for life-threatening conditions, but overall, stay away from those people who do not understand the body from a natural-healing point of view if they can't seem to find anything wrong. They are barking up the wrong tree. Anne, I'm so sorry and upset that you are feeling as sickly as you are. You need to be cared for by people who know how to effectively and gently get you detoxed and on the road to getting better. We've had women on our group who have been deathly, deathly sick, and they've been able to get explanted, and while they do not get better right away, they are on the road. I've known women who have been bedridden for years and are now working again, part time! You can get there, and you must believe in your ability to do it! How can we help you right now? Can you make an appointment to get explanted?

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 anne, i am a new member and haven't ever posted but wanted to let you know that i have the exact same issues. i have saline implants since 2004. every ache, pain, swelling, lymph issue i have is on the left side of my body. it is so strange. i am sick and tired of feeling 80 when i am 34. i am having my explant surgery before the end of the year, then i will go through a thourough detox program. i know in my gut that my implants are the source of my feeling ill. i won't recover until the toxic bags are out. i will say a prayer for you. >> Please read what I've written below, of what I am experiencing. > Whatever is happening to me feels very serious-it feels to me that if > the doctors do not figure it out-it is going to kill me.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hey , I'm glad you've joined us, though I am sorry to hear that you have been so ill like Anne. It makes me so sad to know that you guys are struggling so with these horrible symptoms. , you mentioned that you are having your explant surgery soon...have you discussed with your plastic surgeon the need for a total capsulectomy? Have you read any of our posts about the importance of a PROPER explant? Please make sure your doctor will do the explant either en bloc or with a total capsulectomy....either way, you need to make sure that the doctor is going to remove that scar tissue. This is VITALLY important to your healing. A retained scar capsule can keep your body unhealthy and sick, and most doctors do not take care to remove this scar tissue. They either think it is too much work to remove it, or they mistakenly believe that it will help add volume to the breast without risk. They take your health into their hands by not removing it....and you will be the one who suffers. Who is doing your explant? There are a few doctors in the USA who do them right...and we are always looking for more doctors to add to our list. I'll be glad to add yours if they are not already listed, and they do explants correctly....let us know! Take care, Patty > > > > Please read what I've written below, of what I am experiencing. > > Whatever is happening to me feels very serious-it feels to me that if > > the doctors do not figure it out-it is going to kill me.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 my consult is next wednesday, but i have heard wonderful things about dr. steven warnock. he is in draper, utah. he does perform a total capsulectomy and he comes highly recommended. i am excited about him and have a good feeling. he does a lot of reconstructive work, so i am hopeful that he will do a great job. i have a ton of questions for him and will really follow my instincts. i will keep in touch about him and the surgery. thank you so much for your support. you are wonderful.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 , I've posted some suggestions for questions to ask. I haven't heard of this doctor, so I'll be waiting to hear how things went after your appt next Wednesday! I'd love to be able to add a very good Utah doctor to our list, as we have no one there now. I went to a doctor that was highly recommended for my implant, but when it came to explant, he was not the one, that's for sure. Some doctors have great reputations, but for explant they spout the same old tired lines and you will have to be equipped beforehand to know what you need to look for. Anne found out that the recommended doctor was not going to do a proper explant and had actually told her some false information...so be careful. We're here to help....just want to see you get better, dear one. Take care and God bless, Patty > > > > > > Please read what I've written below, of what I am experiencing. > > > Whatever is happening to me feels very serious-it feels to me that if > > > the doctors do not figure it out-it is going to kill me.
