Country legend Dolly Parton is having her famous breasts reduced

after

suffering 30 years of excruciating back pain.

The I Will always Love You singer had silicone implants in both her

twenties and her thirties, but doctors have now told the 58-year-old

star her enormous double-D bust will have to be reduced to relieve

the

crippling pressure on her back and shoulders.

She admits: " My boobs are killing me - and I don't know if I can

stand

the pain any longer.

" My boobs have been a trademark for me - but I've paid one hell of a

price

Right, I've read those. When I received the most recent newsletter

from Ilena and Dolly Parton was listed as 'recently explanted', I've

not seen anything to coorborate that assertion.

The Hello! interview I transcribed in my earlier post is from

Jan/2005. These other stories/quotes from Dolly Parton are older than

the Hello! interview.

LOL ... last fall seems like " recently " to me ...

I think there was also a People Magazine that talked about her

explant around the same time as those two articles made the news ...

Interesting huh? I tend to believe she removed them ... I recall

hearing in the past that she actually had 'stacked' implants ... two

on each side.

Thanks for that recent article.

Love from Ilena

Sounds like another case of " silicone " brain to me!

How do we know she isn't experiencing some illness, but chooses to

downplay it? That is a possibility. I think many celebrities

choose to stay silent to prevent sabatoging their careers, or blame

something else for their problems. I've heard quite a few stories

coming out of Hollywood that would point to symptoms of illness from

implants but are blamed on other things. Nobody wants to point the

finger at implants, like it is some sacred cow or something..it

seems it has been that way for years. Thank God for " In the KNOW "

and the actresses who have been brave enough to speak out in that

organization!

I don't know....I think replacing them regularly would lead to new

doses of chemicals each time! If the metals and other chemicals are

leaching out over time as the shell degrades, it would seem to me

that with each new implant, that would mean starting out all over

again with another full load of toxic chemicals. Eww....

This is soooo true! Lea, you've addressed an important aspect of

this illness. And in fact, we even hear this on this group.

I have heard many women say that they are not having any trouble

with the implants. But then they will admit that they have had

certain health issues, all of which are consistent with implant

related illness. It is almost an afterthought, or a tangent to the

original conversation, as a " by the way " sort of thought.

I am sure it is quite difficult to draw any connection between

implants and illness when women are pre-programmed into thinking

that implants are safe. That is the only explanation I can give as

to why women continue to say that implants aren't causing them any

problems, when in fact, they have lots of health problems.

Maybe it is true that the implants themselves are not causing

problems, as in not ruptured, not leaking, not deflated, not

hurting, not shifting, not uncomfortable.

But it can be a stark reality that the implants have started a

hellish immune system dysfunction that is leading to a nightmare

with autoimmune disease, joint pain, fibromyalgia and God knows what

other health related problems.

I find it very hard to believe that any woman can carry breast

implants for 20-25 years or more and not be experiencing some type

of health issue that the implants may be exacerbating, if not

causing. But then, there are many women that would rather die than

to give up their implants.

It is a silent epidemic, as you have said, but I hope that we are

making progress toward changing this very ugly and sad situation.

Hugs,

Patty

It would be really hard to determine when that point of shell

degradation would begin for each person. I have a feeling it is

different depending on our specific body conditions.

For instance, some people can wear nickel jewelry and be just fine

with it. No problems. However, I absolutely cannot wear nickel

jewelry at all. It turns my skin black, I get red itchy bumps where

it touches my skin, and if I continue to wear it, my skin breaks out

into a weeping, red sore mess. I turn silver jewelry into dull

tarnished colors.

It's the same way with my earrings. I absolutely must have 14 K

gold earrings. Otherwise, any other metal makes my ear lobes first

turn hot, then red and inflamed and itchy.

Obviously, my body is reacting to the metals, and the contact either

eats away at the metals, or the metals eat away at me. With metals

in the implants, I can only wonder if that type of reaction is

coming into play at all.

Like I said, it would seem to me that shell degradation occurs at

different rates in different people, depending on their immune

system, so it seems it would be nearly impossible to predict when

the shell is actually degrading, if at all!
