Re: My post to Nikki

Great letter ! Let us know if you got any response to this.

You should definitely post about your lab results--those numbers are

proof that no one can dispute about the effect of implants on your

immune system.

inteligent and not hateful or angry. Just trying to make a point

hope that it is ok

women who have become ill from saline/silicone implants. I was

reading a thread on your site where you stated that implants do not

cause autoimmune or connective tissue disorders. While this may be

what the ASPRS and other medical organizations would like for the

public to believe, the truth is these studies are far too small and

far too short to be completely accurate with their findings. Further

more these studies were not looking for atypical disease, only for

disease that fits into specific categories. I have proof that

implants can cause autoimmune disease and symptoms of different

diseases and I want to inform you that it is incorrect to make these

claims to women seeking facts about implants. Further more it can

and does make women who have been through this horrible experience

feel like what they have been through is meaningless.

wonderful PS in ohio, Dr Lu-Feng, she informed me that my

symptoms were very very classic of implant illness and that she

deals with women with this illness each and everyday in her clinic.

She is not the only one and there are more and more women everyday

that are ill due to implants. Trust me I am not here to cause any

kind of fighting or arguing, I just want the truth to be told to the

women who are seeking implants. Personally I am happy for all of you

that have implants and are healthy and my wish is for you all to

remain healthy and happy. I have been to hell and back and my case

is really really interesting and I would be so happy to share it all

with any of you that are interested, including photos of my breasts,

pre and post explant.

don't want to anger anyone, just want girls investigating implants

to realize that the Dr's don't know everything and that somethings

we are being told are not 100% true. There are women who do get ill

from implants. I was one of them. I have lab work that proves what

my implants did to me. Why would I lie? I have nothing to gain

believe me.

that there are women out there who do get ill from implants, that it

can take only a few months and in others it can take years, but that

it can and does happen.

Hi CJ and girls....

Firsty CJ - That letter was extremely well written and I commend you

for it. It came across exactly how it should have and nobody can say

that it was posted to cause any trouble, it was just your personal

story and your personal and heartfelt thoughts. You also came across

like you were concerned for these women and that they should make a

decision based on REAL facts not unreliable studies that are just not

true.

I must however say that I can see why Jeena and a few others (myself

included) need to stay 'in touch and friendly' with these pro-implant

foums. After what I have been through with my implants (Thank God I

was NOT ill from them - I'm a lucky one) I would like to help others

seeking help and not knowing where to go for it, so they usually

frequent the implant sites because that's where they went to to

begin with (I know Tracey 'found' me seeking help on a different

nameless site to Nikki's AND she has 'found' MANY on there). Nikki

does direct women wanting explant to Jeena's site, which is

fantastic, therefore in a way both sites are working hand in hand

(which is ironic but it works). Also her forum is friendly not like

some others I could, but won't, mention. There is NO point in coming

across anti-implant, we can just give our opinions in a mature and

friendly way and hope that somebody hears us....AND if it's only ONE

lady that does NOT get implants then that is a victory. I, myself

have seen at least 3 women on another PRO implant site that have

ended up having implants removed because there has been somebody on

the board watching out for that EXACT situation and I have only been

involved in this for a few months. Even if we never see implants

banned, we can still help those in need.

Okay, sorry this got so long, but I think it's something to think

about. I won't apologise for being 'friendly' with these girls, it's

all for the cause and I myself was in their shoes only 12 SHORT

MONTHS AGO getting implants so I can still see where they are coming

from.

I've said it before, implants were my dream once too so I won't ever

bag the girls that want them, just try to tell them some facts, hope

they change their minds and that it's not that glamorous.

With love,

Keli.
