Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 I ordered a product called " Kelo-cote " , a scar management product, from a company called Advanced Bio-Technologies, Inc.. After receiving the product yesterday I read the ingredients: Polysiloxane, Silicon Dioxide. I called the company to express my concerns about the silicon and the representative said that silicone is inert and our bodies are full of it naturally. Is this true? He went on to say that I could eat the stuff and it wouldn't hurt me! Then, he told me a story about a little old lady that confused a tub of Kelo-cote with her eye drops and she wasn't harmed after putting the stuff in her eyes. Is all silicone created equal? Is there a difference between silicon and silicone? Does it make a difference if it is applied topically or used in implants? I asked the representative what other products the company makes and he said that they make the kind of implants used for reconstructive surgery, but they are getting out of the business. He did maintain that silicone breast implants are safe. If anyone has any thoughts or information about any of this please advise. Thank you!
