Guest guest Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 We need many more women speaking out! As hard as it is to believe, the FDA apparently thinks they are doing women a favor by allowing Mentor to move forward with their silicone gel implant. - Rogene Note: forwarded message attached. Dr. M., this most certainly is NOT a triumph for women's choices as I see it, being a past 1976 McGhan/3M silicone gel breast implant patient. And sir, I am all for women's choices and making good lifestyle decisions and allowing women of all ages to make those choices, but what is going on right now with the approval of silicone gel breast implants is a major milestone backwards...the FDA is clearly going down the wrong path (at their own free will) and has clearly buckled under (once again). This problem is nothing new for the Art of Medicine and the medical community as a whole. They flip flop all of the time because they do not know what they are really doing...because they really do not understand the human body & how it works with triggers that can not embrace the variatns of certain key genes...like with silicone gel breast implants...so it is just easier to ride the fence and allow women to make their own choices (medicine is hiding behind women's choices) even if the SCIENCE is really NOT there to prove the Mentor silicone gel breast implants are safe with acceptable risks. Where are the many past years of studies on the offspring and with breast feeding with these Mentor implants or is that going to be studied down the road when they get enough patients hooked into making "the choice" to opt for the devices of opting for Mentor silicone gel breast implants? NO WOMEN would want to make a total informed choice to go through what many have gone through when they opted for breast implants (whatever type) IF they new the truth and WERE FULLY, TOTALLY INFORMED before opting for silicone gel breast implants ...and NO WOMEN in her right mind would ever make a fully, TOTALLY INFORMED choice to allow her child to go through a lifetime of hell either....yes, women may be making "choices" but they are not being informed fully with what is being placed in their body when it comes to whatever type of silicone gel breast implant!!! NO PARENT who gives their daughter breast implants for a gift would make this choice for their loved one either, IF they were honestly being told EVERYTHING to what is going on with silicone gel breast implants! My own parents were devasted as my MISSOURI plastic surgeon did NOT disclosed EVERYTHING he knew at the time from 1976-1980 and HE KNEW stuff about the devices, but wanted to make a buck....and then cover up his own tail with "words of art" in the medical history...this is something that MANY WOMEN have experienced....and with the FDA approval of Mentor implants this problem will simply get worse for those who will be walking the walk in the future....as plastic surgeons and others in other medical divisions will learn to play the game better this time around with breast implant patients. The problem is women (and the general public as a whole) are NOT BEING TOTALLY INFORMED to ALLl that is going on with breast implants, this includes the offspring taking "hits" too. Sure Dr. Melmed, this was a "triumph" for the medical community/actually a "triumph" for THE ART OF MEDICINE, (especially for the plastic surgeons) because to have the FDA buckle under and get to go on with "business as usual" to freely USE THE GENERAL POPULATION AT ONE's OWN FREE WILL will be great, which is a great "triumph" for THEM, NOT for the patient or general population or humanity as a whole ....this happens daily with pharmaceutical companies... they do not blink an eye or do not care who or how they medically harm people as long as they are in business....this is part of the ART OF MEDICINE I do not care for... so-called victories in THE ART OF MEDICINE when they failed to really uphold their oath of First, do no harm...and then hide behind the "words of art" and call it a WOMEN's CHOICE~ Nobody is pulling the wool over my eyes because I was brought up in this world of medicine and watched as a child how many got ahead in life....and the standards of medicine only slipped deeper as the years went by and more money was to be made from the snafu in the Art of Medicine...many breast implant women are NOT having the wool pulled over their eyes either and will fight what is currently happening~ Breast implant women are very smart women even if we all made a poor choice early in our lives for opting for breast implants /silicone gel breast implants....hysteria? No, we did not like the medical bushwhacking and did not apprecaite that plastic surgeons /the companies were NOT forthcoming...as the human body was speaking volumes to what silicone gel breast implants were very capable of doing.... Although Dr. Jewell's words are well chosen, they are simply more "words of art" in a letter thanking the FDA for buckling under, then hiding behind the theory of a major milestone of a great snafu of the FDA giving ALL women choices, with Mentor silicone gel breast implants.Many past breast implant women who have walked the walk already are NOT that stupid and WE ALL see what is going on...with the well chosen words of art that the medical community always seem to drum up all of the time. When the fact of the matter is Dr. M., the FDA is allowing the medical community /plastic surgeons/ the breast implant companies to USE the general population at their own free will and allowing women to make choices or think that these devices are safe, or with acceptable risk when in fact the devices were not investigated to that highest of high standard to uphold the oath of First, do no harm. NOTE MY WORDS: Good science? No, it is not good, but decitful science...They are going to create their science in the future when they get enough Mentor silicone breast implant in patients, that's all. They MENTOR, and plastic surgeons will be able to CREATE their science as they go ...because this is how the ART OF MEDICINE works...then MENTOR and plastic surgeons will be able to present their created science to the FDA as safe with acceptable risk....because THIS SECOND TIME AROUND they are going to make sure they all cover their tails better than they did the first time with silicone gel breast implants....See Dr. Melmed how the Art of Medicine works? Dr. M, IF there was ever any hysteria with breast implants, it was because the companies and plastic surgeons (the medical community as a whole) did NOT uphold their oath of First, do no harm and failed to tell the truth IN THE FIRST PLACE, so now they are getting a second chance in getting it right---hope SURE HOPE they have enough wisdom to get it right this second time around, but I doubt it because the human body is still going to speak volumes with the new faces who are now on the path .... the human body is far smarter than those who have all of the medical degrees...and the human body will continue to speak volumes. ......yet the human body has spoken to the truth of what silicone gel breast implants are capable of doing...the problem is those with all of the medical degrees and so-called wisdom (within the medical community) many fail at their own free will to understand the signs/ and silient words of the volumes that the human body is telling....common sense is not scientific, (we all have some) but common sense needs to be used in order to uphold the oath of First, do no harm to better understand evolving diseases as it may present itself in humanity. Hysteria is science in many ways as hysteria may be the end result of what science is and produces...because you people in the medical community ( fail to better understand the variants of certain key genes in order to craft/tailor the medicines/ vaccines/ dentistry and medical devices or whatever to those variants of certain key genes that have been elevated into a sensitivity, an adverse reaction, cancer, death or gene/environment interactions which are important in the development and manifestations of autoimmune diseases that may present as classic disease or disease like ....Last night when I sent you my other e-mail I wanted to go more into dept, but I was lacking time, so I sent you my short e-mail last night.Today I have allittle more time to go into depth of what I do indeed believe. I am not asking you or anyone to agree, but feel I must honor my own spirit and more importantly honor the spirit of the generations to come by speaking out, to you or anyone else. So for that Dr. M., I appreciate your time. Thank you for e-mailing me below with your response. As I do have respect for you and fully understand where you are coming from since you are a plastic sugeon. Good luck, Dr. M. ~ Take care, Fuchs-seyMacon, Missouri (past 1976 McGhan/3M silicone gel breast implant patient. What I have to say and write was created by my own experience of hell that I went through from silicone gel breast implants) >From: EMelmed@...>fuchsmorrissey@...>Subject: Re: my reply to~ A Major Milestone>Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2005 23:28:07 EDT>>As I wrote to Rogene Schorer, you could not have read what they said: this>was science and not hysteria.
