Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 Keli I aprreciate your post, and I also understand where your coming from. I think it is hard when you have been so sick from implants that you lost everything and trust me, many many women have been not only disabled, but have lost homes, husbands, children, jobs, money, and been permantenlty disabled and scarred from the damage of these implants. So if it seems to you that I have ever been harsh in any of my opinions or posts, it is only out of sheer concern that not one other women should ever have to walk in my shoes. I have said it before and I will say it again, while I realize there will always be women with implants, and always be ones who don't have issues with them like I did, I will never ever like them, nor will I ever think they are safe for anyone. in my opinion they are inferior products that need to be studied further before they are allowed to be in peoples bodies, however, since that is not going to happen anytime soon, the next best thing is to educate and inform these women of the true dangers. I will never stop trying to help others from the mistake I made.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 Hi Keli: I think your point is well put and I agree. I will say however, that some of those pro-implant folks have laughed and ridiculed those who have been hurt by implants--trying to make them out to be paranoid and foolish -- so it's not a wonder why there will be resentment and anger surrounding this implant issue. I will say this, had wrongfully taken a beating from some pro-implants chicks on hairsite.com when all she did was tell of HER unfortunate situation with implant . It's sometimes hard to be friendly to such folks who laugh in your face--but yeah, it's worth a try. Just my two cents. Take care All. -Marie -Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 Very well put, yes it is hard to be nice to people when they ridicule you that is for sure. I have had bad experiences in the past and it is nice to think that women with implants are all so nice, but it usually isn't the case. hugs ----- Original Message ----- From: perlesetlacet@...
