Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 , I hope you are feeling better today. I am so sorry that you have had the drainage problem after surgery. I had my explant 4 days ago. You asked about " any ideas " on reactions. I don't understand meds and reactions, and yes, I do believe the toxins could be your issue. I just wanted to add that I had extreme wet sweats and was very hot. It turned out to be my sensitivity to one of the pain meds used right after surgery. It passed for me, and I'm not seeming to have any serious problems post-op. I hope that you continue to improve. Have you contacted the explant surgeons concerning your problems post-op? They may have some insight that the e.r. dept. may not be keen about. Just an idea...sending a prayer your way......J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 , It sounds like your body is trying to flush something. Be sure to drink plenty of water . . . Eating raw, crushed garlic should help. . . It's a natural antibiotic, antifungal and antioxident. One of nature's most outstanding medicines! You can put it on a salad, pizza, mix it with Mayo on a sandwich, or scrape it from the garlic press with an empty gel cap. With this going on, I'd eat as much as I could get down. Eating some fresh apple afterwards helps clear the taste. Do you know if your doctor removed your implant " en bloc " ? or if there was a spill in the process? you had saline, right?

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Thanks for the update. I am sorry about your problems with the drains. That is why most doctors leave them in. I know that Dr.FEng leaves them in for at least 2 days and won't take them out until there is very little drainage left. It sounds like you are coming along and I am glad to hear that you are starting to feel better. That is weird about the smell. I didn't have that but then there are women here who say they get a weird smell from their sweat from the sauna. I wonder if it is the same thing. I have never gotten a weird smell from that either. I guess we are all different!

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 these all sound like detoxification reactions. It sounds like your body is trying to detoxify itself and if it is that is great news!! Please remember to drink tons of pure water and take very good care of yourself. Now is an excellent time to make sure you are eating healthy--lots of fresh veggies and no sugar, grains, fried foods, processed foods etc. Also make sure to take a good probiotic like Primal Defense. And make sure to destress and get plenty of rest! kathy --- In , " sarahspo " <sarahspoon@m...> wrote: > > -sorry also mean't to say that I keep having hot flush's and my skin > feels clammy does anyone know why this may be. > > Thanks > -- In , " sarahspo " <sarahspoon@m...> wrote: > > > > Hi > > > > Thought Id fill you in on my explant the operation went well I had a > > total capsulectomy with a drain (as I only had one implant) the > > surgeons were really nice although they wouldn't confess to knowing > > about implant deseases I'm pretty sure they did. > > > > unfourtunatley for me they removed my drain the next day as it only > > contained 5ml of blood and nothing else, I got home and felt fine over > > the next couple of days my breast began to swell in fact it got bigger > > than with the implant so I went to see my GP who told me I had a > > seroma and that it would drain back into my body and not to worry > > about it, the next day my scar came open and the fluid stated to run > > out so my husband took me back to the hospital they drained the rest > > of the fluid and re-dressed it they have taken a swab but don't think > > its infected as it looks quite clean but I have to go back on friday > > so they can check. > > > > I am still losing quite alot of fluid especially over night the docs > > seemed suprised that my body had reject what would normally be > > absorbed happilly by the body but I think this confirms that there > > were definatley toxins presant. > > > > I have noticed a few strange things since explant my skin has become > > quite bumpy, I'm having regular headaches and my skin smells like Ive > > been handleing money or something is this normal? > > > > The joint pain and stiffness has gone but I still have fatigue > > occasionally but otherwise feeling great. > > > > Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Hi yes I did have saline, the surgeon did a total capsulectomy (not en bloc) I had enough trouble getting him to remove the capsule as he said it wasn't needed and I am not sure if there were any spills. I still have a terrible headache so going to get more rest now but would appeciate any info on detoxing there so much out there I don't know where to start Many Thanks > , > > It sounds like your body is trying to flush something. > Be sure to drink plenty of water . . .

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 , I've been writing back and forth with Dr. Melmed . . . You know how we're usually reluctant to tell doctors we're doing something unusual? - like eating raw garlic? . . . Well, I told him that we were finding that garlic is very effective . . . He wrote back that he knows garlic a wonderful . . . especially for those who have heart disease. Seriously, try some garlic! . . . If you simply cannot tolerate eating it raw, there are some garlic products available . . . I'm spelling it wrong, but Kolic comes to mind. There's no way you can process garlic and get 100% of the benefits you get from fresh, but some is better than none. Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Quote from Dr. Melmed: " Anti-biotics don't treat fungi. They are effective only against bacteria. I totally support Garlic. It's a hidden " drug " that works esp for heart disease " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
