The Naked Truth About Breast Implants: From Harm To Healing

Who Does an Independant Analysis on Breast Implants ?

Who Provides the Silicone and other Raw Materials for Saline and Silicone Breast Implants ?

DO NOT SEND YOUR IMPLANTS TO THE MANUFACTURER OR ANYBODY ELSE WHICH CAN BE INVOLVED IN THE PROTECTION OF CORPORATE BRANDS

Can saline breast implants disrupt the endocrine system just from the saline outer shell alone, with no infection? Can the ingredients of the outer shell contribute to estrogen dominance and cysts and fibroids?

I was wondering if anyone has had major Gastrointestinal issues with Saline implants. I've had implants for 3years. Shortly after I began having upset stomach, gurgling, and gas. It has continued, I have been to 2 different GI doctors and was diagnosed with IBS. Has anyone had similiar problems?

I was thinking of having my implants out. I have had them for 19 years and I am 39 years old. I was hoping if I had them out I would feel better. I have had chronic fatigue, dizziness, joint pain, muscle pain, very sensitive central nervous system, intolerance to heat and cold, sensitivity to light, brain fog, intolerance to alcohol and caffeine and most supplements and medications for years. Before implants I had none of these problems. Problems started about two years after implants and have gotten worse over the years. Is there a way to tell if the implants are to blame? Is there testing that can be done for mold, fungus etc?

I have had saline, sub-muscle breast implants for almost 3 years. I am in my 38 week of pregnancy and feel sudden sharp pains in one of my breast. Is this normal with pregnancy, or is there something wrong with my implant that is causing the pain?

My name is Teresa. Not sure where to begin. I am happy to have found this site after finding on CT scan that I have a thymoma. I have gone to see a neurologist to coordinate clinically with Myasthenia Gravis. My symptoms are more of silicone toxicity than MG. I informed the doctor of my theory that my breast implants have caused these problems that I am having. He, of-course said that people of all ages and sexes get thymomas but was willing to order a PET scan when I asked to assess this thymoma as maybe it is lymphoma or a mediastinal lymphadenopathy. He agreed. I am now trying to reach PMD to order silicone antibodies and levels. I will push for them. My concern now is that I need open chest surgery as well as implant explantation. There is no way I will be able to coordinate them together as there are no explant doctors in this area. I would fly to Atlanta to have the explantation if I didn't have this other issue at hand. I am not sure which I should have done first as the recooperation time for an open thymectomy will be super long and I need it fairly urgently as there is apparent nerve impingement. I am coughing and my left vocal cord has been paralyzed for 5 weeks now. This thing is obviously growing. MD noticed a lump over my thyroid and now having an US done for that. I am actively looking for an explant PS and will consult in between my other appts. My implants are over 15 years old and textured. I started having symptoms a couple of years ago. Foggy brain, fibromyalgic type symptoms with weakness, muscle pain and fatigue, anxiety, and insomnia. To explant or remove tumor first ?? I am very afraid of my outcome with all that is going on.

I had silicon breast implant 4 years ago, about two years ago I started having hives all over my body gradually starting with my arms and within a few months spread to my entire body. the hives are daily, they move from one spot to another, my skin texture is different now. I have done all the allergy tests imaginable to try and figure out why this is happening with all negative feedback on a reason. My research led me to reach only today that it could be related to my breast implants. I have problems with vaginal yeast infection all the time and nothing will make it go away, I am a nervous wreck, my life is crippled as I am nervous all of the time due to the constant hives attacks, and avoid going out so I would have an episode in public of itching like a lone woman. My energy level is in the bottom, gained 20 pounds, tried all sort of pills that kept me out of energy. I am so lost and frustrated.

Reading on some sites the relation between hives and breast implants I broke down in tears and I was shocked to realize that this could be the reason to what is happening to me!

what kind of tests can I do to know if I am suffering from poisons from my silicon implants?

Please help

I had my first set of saline implants 24 years ago when I was 30. Within 4 years I became very ill and my endocrinologist did T3, T4 & TSH bloodtest and then a thryoid scan, I was diagnosed with Graves disease, (hyperthyroid). I had to have it radiated and felt okay for about 3 months and then the unbelievable exhaustion and tummy troubles hit me. My gastrointerologist gave me a endoscopy and colonoscopy and diagnosed me with irritable bowel syndrome. I cut out all gluten, dairy as well as beef and pork. My implants were about 10 years old by this time so I went to a new PS and discussed explantation and she told me how awful I'd look and suggested new implants. I was easily swayed and had the surgery. Felt okay and continued my strict diet and about 3 years later the arrythmias started, I was having 20,000 PVCs per day and had to see a electrophysiologist who then did a cardio cath ablation. That worked for about 6 months and I had to have a 2nd cardio cath ablation done to correct that. The exhaustion, dizziness, thirst, constant peeing and running a low grade temp. took it's toll and I sought out help from my GP, who you guessed sent me back to my cardiologist who sent me on to my EP. He said maybe you have POTS, and did the tilt table test. That came back negative and now my EP wants me to see a neurologist as he thinks my symptoms could be MS. Holy cow, really! I am having a consultation with a PS in Tucson, AZ which is the nearest metro area to where I live but don't know if she can do the correct explantation. I am currently reading "The naked truth about breast implants" and it's like reading a book about myself. How can I find a PS in my area that can do this procedure properly? I have dropped 15 lbs. off my 5/7" frame and that puts me at 132 lbs. I can't eat, can't drive and feel helpless, hopeless and useless! HELP!

I'm a 57 year old breast cancer survivor. I had silicone breast implants put in after double mastectomy 6 years ago. I have experienced many symptoms such as low wbc, joint pain, numbness and rashes but was told this was a leftover chemotherapy scenario. About a month ago I developed abdominal pan, night sweats, dry mouth symptoms. I had a lower MRI, blood tests for autoimmune diseases and all were negative. Then about 10 days ago I developed capsular contraction and a few days after that capsular rupture. I'm scheduled for a complete capsulectomy and deimplantation Thursday and want to begin silicone detoxification but in reading protocols I don't know where to begin. All the doctors think I'm insane! Where can I go and what should I start with?

The Lord led me to Dr. Kolb. I am having my implants "explanted," and I can't get to Atlanta fast enough. Thank God for her life.
