Guest guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Lana, I don't blame you for avoiding the silica and derivatives of. We obviously don't know much about the effect on our bodies. When you have an auto immune reaction, you're right you WILL react to anything that is evenly remotely similar to the originating offending substance. This makes perfect sense especially when you think about other allergies. For example, if you have a ragweed allergy you should never drink chamomile tea... infact drinking too much chamomile can cause a ragweed allergy! Plus it is always advised to stay away from food families of the offending substance.... such as potatoes for example... they are in the same family as eggplant, red/green/yellow peppers and tomatoes just to name a few. This is quite interesting and I am glad you have brought this issue to the surface as there could be a link for some who are still not faring well after explant. We need to get to the root of this issue.. thanks for doing the research. It could be the source of the silica too...

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Lana, This is such a compelling story, I hope you get it out there as much as possible. I feel so bad for what your kids have had to endure... and all the while we are told that these things are safe and now they are actually considering putting silicone gel back on the market...... this is an atrocity. Stay with us... this information is so valuable to us.
