Can anyone help?

December 29, 2008

HI,

I have joined this group because I have a sister in law that was just

diagnosed with Lupus(main symptoms being extreme fatigue and swollen

joints). She had saline implants put in one to two years ago and had

no previous history of immune system problems before that. She

believes her doctor when he says they are safe and have not contributed

to her issues. I have not said anything to her about a possible

connection between her failing health and her implants and am not sure

the best way to do it. I am wondering if anyone out there may know of

a good website or book or anything that I could give to her. Any help

would be appreciated as it has been very sad to see her with this

condition.

Thanks,

R

Hi R,

I am so sorry to hear that your sister in law has been diagnosed with

lupus...such a very difficult disease.

We have many links in our links section that will provide overwhelming

and factual information about implants being associated with lupus and

other autoimmune diseases. I used to have a file that listed all the

books too, but I can't find that file at the moment.

Dr. Zuckerman has an excellent website with info on breast

implants and their dangers, as does Dr. Kolb.

Dr. Kolb is a plastic surgeon herself, who got sick from her implants.

So, she knows what they are doing to women.

You can see Dr. Zuckerman's site here:

I hope your sister in law will be open to the suggestion that her

implants may be the culprit in the instigation of her disease. The

sooner she realizes this and grasps at the chance to get better, the

sooner she can get on the road to healing. It takes proper explant

(meaning implant removal and total capsule removal), followed by

detoxing and rebuilding nutritional, hormonal and emotional health. It

takes time and patience, as well as a hopeful and encouraged attitude,

which we help provide! We've seen lots of women get better, and go on

to live very good lives again, free of the symptoms they used to suffer

from.

God bless you for trying to help her...you're a loving family member,

and so many women do not have that.

R,

Here is a pamplet that you can print off and give to your sister in

law. This was written by Dr. Zuckerman.

http://www.breastimplantinfo.org/pdfs/ImplantReport2006.pdf

It is called, " Decisions in the Dark " about the FDA and breast implants.

Hope this helps,
