Dear Mr. Milloy:

I'm responding to the article that you wrote about the

return of silicone breast implants. It was posted

recently by our support group.

I'm astounded! In your article, you have insulted

thousands of women and doctors who have done some

excellent research on this topic. How can you comment

on breast implants? If you have not experienced the

pain and suffering firsthand, you should keep your

opinion to yourself. If, however, you had done the

research properly your opinion would be quite

different. People like you, who claim to be well

educated, make me angry. Your resume shows several

degrees, and yet your research skills are quite

obviously at the junior-high school level. It seems to

me that you are what we call a " recliner researcher. "

What do you do? Do you sit with your cell phone, and

just take instructions from the manufacturers of these

devices? How can you in your right mind know what the

women are going through? You, and your kind, are

simply prostituting yourselves to the manufacturers. I

imagine that they will reward you and your so-called

institute handsomely for your efforts!

I have been a support person for ten years and I have

done my own research. We have boxes of peer-reviewed

material that shows that silicone/saline breast

implants were never fit to be surgically implanted

into the human body. The real junk science here is

that perpetrated on the public by the manufacturers.

All these so-called research articles have been bought

and paid for by them...there isn't a single one that

isn't tainted with manufacturer money! How can this

sort of scurrilous research compare with forty years

of genuine research that shows unequivocally that all

breast implants are deadly! You mention the Institute

of Medicine's " comprehensive 1999 review " of breast

implants. This report was just as tainted as the

manufacturer-bought research. One of the medical

experts on the panel--a Canadian, too, I'm sad to have

to say--had been a paid consultant of Bristol-Myers

Squibb's!

You might be feeling very pleased with yourself in

your " adjunct scholar " position, swaggering about as

one of the institute's prime " hitmen " . Well,

consider--just for a second or two--that hundreds of

thousands of women worldwide, and many men too, think

that you are an idiot, as thick as a plank, and can't

see beyond the end of your nose to merely parrot the

manufacturers' propaganda and publish it for all to

see. You are a victim as well, but unfortunately you

are a willing one...and probably a well-paid one!

I would love to have you come to our home, and we will

compare the research that you have done with mine.

Yours will be seriously lacking. While you are here,

you will see firsthand my disfigurement and how very

sick I am from the ruptured breast implants.

Are you man enough to take on this task? Even the

manufacturers have agreed that breast implants have a

high rupture rate, can cause severe disfigurement, and

have an effect on the immune system. Is this junk

science too?

We know that you know the real truth; however, when

you are part of the " old boys' club, " you wouldn't

dare to disagree with them, would you? It takes a real

man to stand up for his own opinion...and not just the

opinion of his peers. And I'm convinced, too, that you

would never have the courage to debate breast implants

in a public forum with any of the scientists and

medicalresearchers who you slam from the safety of

your institute office!
