Re: Re: Surgery and scar formation

[Guest guest]

The good news is that scars old as 20 to 30 years old can be treated. I believe our body is amazing...given the proper conditions it can cure itself from any kind of diseases...that includes autoimmune and cancer. It just requires lots of dedication, effort, and discipline and love. We eat so much processed food and junk and those have to be eliminated from our diet entirely and who can do this? Healing is a consicous act!

Amazing info...thank you so very much! I agree....surgery should be undertaken with much thought and discussion with others.We may never be the same, but we can improve very much with the right treatments.Alot of good stuff here...thanks and God bless,Patty>> I've done some research and this information may help some people. > Here's article about surgery and scars. Sometimes even if you don't have silicon poisoning, you may have lot of symptoms including autoimmune disease from the trauma of the surgery and your body's improper scarring. Breast implant created lot of scars and explants created more. The more surgery you've had the more problems you may have if you don't do proper caring after the

explants or any kind of surgery. Germans did a lot of research on this, but PS will never tell you this before the implant. The surgery will make your health deteriorate. Explanting will not solve everything until you take proper care afterwards. Even after that we will never be the same as before the implant. > > http://foodkills.org/Scars/index.html> http://theholisticdoctorisin.com/cms/clinic/free-reports/scar-tissue/> http://drgooing.com/?LinkServID=756BD508-3473-1494-464144A39486415C & showMeta=0> http://www.drkaslow.com/html/neural_therapy.html> http://www.healingartscenter.com/Library/articles/art10.htm> > Invasive and traumatic surgery can leave scars behind and to think that scars can actually produce health issues such as Headaches, Migraines, Allergies, Confusion, Vertigo, Hay Fever, Optic Neuritis, Asthma, Chronic Pain, Chronic Fatigue, Tonsillitis, Liver Disease, Menstrual Pain,

Your muscle heal very differently than your bones. If you fracture a bone, as long as it is set and fixed in place properly, it will tend to heal so thoroughly that it will become stronger than it was before the facture! Bone tissue heals with calcium and other minerals. Your muscles

however, do not actually heal with muscle tissue, but with foreign substances including collagen. The resulting scar tissue is weaker, less elastic, and highly prone to re-injury. You will not be same as before so don't try to lift heavy things or do too much after explants. Once a muscle is damaged it can become the source of a great deal of pain. Too much rest can be counterproductive as well since muscle tissue needs certain amount of movement as it heals, and will begin to atrophy (shrink) if not used. You will not be flexible as before the implant/explants if your muscles were cut. In order for your muscles to heal properly all of their fibers need to be aligned in same direction. When you have a muscle that has been injured however, the initial repair process creates a patch of random scar tissue fibers. Like a weak link in chain the random alignment of these new fibers become a weak link in your muscle leaving it highly susceptible to re-injury.

For an injured muscle to regain maximum strength and flexibility, the scar tissue needs to become aligned and integrated with the muscle fibers. Oddly, our bodies do not have an efficient internal mechanism for accomplishing this. It's somewhat haphazard gradually improving over time but often not resolving completely, which can become a quite a problem. The problem is that the nervous system essentially over reacts to even microscopic areas of scar tissue by keeping the muscle in a shortened, inflamed and usually painful state. The inflammation process is the first stage of healing and by keeping the muscle short, the nervous system is trying to protect it from further harm, these reactions however, can continue well past the point of being productive-in fact they can continue indefinitely. Even a small muscular injury can lead to chronic pain pattern which persists for months or even years, because the nervous system stays on alert waiting for the

scar tissue to heal completely and become aligned with the surrounding muscle tissue. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a good example. By correcting (aligning and smoothing out) areas of scar tissue and other muscular irregularities, soft tissue release breaks the muscular pain cycle at its root, accelerates the healing process and restores muscular balance in a lasting way. Physiotherapist who practices deep muscle tissue stimulation may be able to help and it involves thin long needles that penetrate into the deepest muscles into the scar tissue and train the scar tissue to heal in a manner that structurally mimics your normal muscles. > > The scar tissue formed will most of the time be of less functional quality then the original tissue. After implant/explants surgery induces the body's natural healing abilities creating internal scar tissue where the muscles and tissue have been cut. It is important to note that internal scar tissue is

different then normal tissue. Internal scar tissue will often create tethers barriers and adhesions to internal body structures pulling them out of place and often causing pain. The tissue is not just connected in area that is cut but can travel throughout the body. Internal scar tissue affects every part of your body including your organs, muscles and connective tissue. Scar tissue forms when the body undergoes trauma or inflammation of your cells and tissue. In some cases, scar tissues link to form an adhesion, which is a band of scar tissue. The adhesion connects two internal parts, which may restrict movement or hinder things like organs from performing their intended functions. Often people with adhesions experience no symptoms or complications. For those who do suffer from adhesions, doctors may perform surgery to remedy the situation. When the tissue is sutured or stitched up, this can create a tethering effect that can in essence cause painful

symptoms throughout the body. Also, a biological barrier forms when the cut that forms the scar tissue is made with shard object (such as scalpel) leaving an impenetrable wall that will not heal properly over time. Just because your outer wound is healed remember that internal scars are still healing and may take years. > > Some things you can do for the scars> Break Down Scar Tissue> You may benefit from using deep tissue massage to break down internal scar tissue, also called lesions. In order to reach deep lesions, the massage must penetrate the area with scar tissue. Often the massage itself initially causes pain. While deep tissue massage won't relax your body like a Swedish massage, it does release toxins, increase blood circulation and decrease inflammation. Along with breaking down scar tissue, a deep tissue massage works to eliminate crystallization, restore muscle tone and help chemically balance the body.>

Heal Old Wounds> The body forms scars as a way of repairing damage, so allow your body 6 to 12 weeks to heal before beginning any type treatment for scar tissue. Some treatment centers won't agree to work on scar tissue younger than 12 weeks without a doctor's release. Studies show that treatments help with scar tissue 20 to 30 years old, which means you don't need to rush the healing process.> Release the Trigger> Myofascial Release (MFR) is a non-invasive collection of techniques designed to treat problems in the fascia, a net-like membrane that surrounds and separates internal systems like nerves, muscles and organs. Scar tissue binds the fascia together preventing it from functioning. In MFR, therapists use cross-hand stretches, skin rolling, deep stretches and trigger point release to increase hydration, separate the fascia, restore elasticity and decrease compression. Trigger points indicate areas in the body where fibers

contract irregularly. The trigger point generally radiates pain and may cause secondary trigger points to develop, further restricting fascia.> Fight Scar Tissue Naturally> Using a variety of herbal remedies often helps dissolve or repair scar tissue. 400 to 800 IU of vitamin E twice daily along with 1,000 mg of vitamin C promotes healing of collagen and connective tissue. Bioflavonoids like hesperetin, quercetin and rutin help the body absorb vitamin C. Thiosinaminum, calcium fluoroide, causticum and graphites also repair scar tissue damage. Depending on the cause of scar tissue, you may respond better to different treatments, so you may need to experiment to find the best combination of herbs.> > Diet is the most important for proper healing after surgery. Don't try rigorous detox or go on diet right after surgery. Your body needs lot of protein, minerals and vitamin C. Make sure you eat very healthy diet. You can start

diets after you have healed reasonably. > The following are good to take for scars after explants. Don't take vitamin E until after 2 weeks. > • Vitamin C (with bioflavonoids) 1,000 mg > • Vitamin E (with tocopherols) 400-800 IU two time a day > • Zinc, 30 mg, with 3 mg of copper > • Silica, 1,000 mg> There is explanation why scars impede in normal functioning of our bodies, but I didn't have time to prepare this. > > Implants interrupt the normal flow of energy within our chest area. Our chest area is connected to many of the important meredians…kidney, heart, liver, stomach, etc.. For this reason energy flow will not be the same…this includes blood flow. Eventually we will have liver issues (cannot detox properly), heart problems (palpitations), uterus (fibroids, cyst), breast lumps may develop and digestive systems will not function properly. When our body is in a state of imbalance

it will try so hard to put it back into balance, but when it can't after a period of time, it goes haywire….result is an autoimmune disease. The implant has to be taken out for a better chance of recovery, but after explants proper care must be done otherwise symptoms may remain due to scar tissue forming. Energy flow is not the same with scar tissue. After implant/explants our chest area will never be the same. > Having any kind of surgery is not good and for this reason Chinese medicine do not recommend surgery unless it's life threatening. Western medicine resorts to surgery and drugs for everything which has long term ill effect on health.>

There is also an emotional aspect of healing. Healing will not happen if you have constant anger and negative thoughts. You have to believe that you will ge better. There is emotional scars left behind by the trauma of the surgery. I’ve read some people commenting negatively about their new body and some very unhappy and worried about their new look. For one reason or another you probably got the implant initially due to some dissatisfaction in your life..it could be

about your insecurity, to look better, to be accepted more, wanting to be loved more, failed relationship, boredom…it could be anything. Think about the real reason behind it…face your inner self and fears and come to term with it. Your scars cannot heal properly if you have negative perceptions about yourself. Healing starts by accepting the things the way they are. Accepting yourself and loving yourself the way you are is an important step. Look deep deep down inside yourself…what is your core belief/perception about yourself? Change your internal belief radically….and love yourself. Listen to you inner voice and pay attention, it will always be trying to say nasty things….you are no good, not pretty enough, not smart enough….etc. Just plain, flat-out, REFUSE to let that nasty voice in your head turn YOU against YOURSELF! Don’t let it make you FEEL BAD about yourself. Let the nasty voice scream-let it yell at you, No matter how nasty it sounds, it’s trying to reach out to you..who pays no attention. Just simply –to state this crucial thing again – do NOT let it make you FEEL BAD. Do not let it turn YOU against YOURSELF. They are a lie. You can be loved

exactly the way you are. Your thoughts are an important part of the healing process. When you allow negative reinforcement to creep in, it can actively and actually slow, stop and even reverse your body’s natural healing process. The power of thought cannot be expressed enough. You can choose to approach your healing either in a positive light or in a negative light. We tend to focus on negativity. We are more focused on the negative things…we focus on our fear. When we do, we suddenly become tense, worried, anxious and frightened and we anticipate the worst. This will stagnate the energy flow in our body and reverse healing-stop all the negative thoughts and focus on good things.

You can choose to be around people (medical professional included) who support your desire and ability to heal, or you can choose to be around people who want to tell you all the reasons you won’t heal. You can heal from this completely emotionally and physically if you believe that you can. This includes any autoimmune diseases. It can be healed. Are you frustrated, angry, upset, regret what you have done to your body? Start forgiving yourself. Anger effects your liver and the energy flow in your liver will be stagnated and will either slow down or stop

your detoxification process. If you can try to laugh out loud at least few times a day this will help in healing. Laugh out loud until your belly hurts..this will promote good circulation! It sounds crazy, but laughter therapy works! Do things which will make you laugh. This will help your energy flow better. Being happy is the best medicine. Think about how you feel under the circumstances. If you feel angry, think about what you are feeling and fully acknowledge your feeling and feel it. Your feelings on the situation can change. Feelings of inadequacy or ugliness often pervade the minds of people with scars. Those adverse thoughts when they materialize are actually creating adverse results in the body. Your body is amazing! Your body can heal from any disease and sickness. Your body listens to your thoughts. Healing is a conscious act!

Everyday think:

You will no longer focus on negativity/failure.

You will love yourself by focusing on YOU and focusing on positive things.

On what you FEEL.

On what you WANT.

On what you want to have, to know, to be, to accomplish, to experience, to try, to feel, to love, to engage and experiment with - for YOU. Then make some lists about what you like, about the strengths you have, about what you want, about what you want to feel and experience - on all the GOOD things you want for yourself – and do THOSE. Life is too short to concentrate on the negative things.
