Bev: Visible mold from Beth

[Guest guest]

Bev, try contacting http://mycometrics.com and see if they still test for mold

in breast implants. If so, you can find out the cost and how they want them

shipped. I used them after I read good reviews by Dr. Shoemaker (mold doc in

land). They found penicillium in both my implants and sent me the lab

results along with pictures.

I had previously sent my implants to Dr. Blais for evaluation and he did examine

them under a high powered microscope. He did not do any destructive testing; he

primarily does failure analysis on medical devices.

Mycometrics, to the best of my knowledge, does destructive testing (getting into

the implants, etc) and that pretty much negates any type of legal action against

the manufacturer, or it used to. I can tell you though that legal action is a

tough road to travel and not a very successful one at this time.

Best of luck,

~Beth L
