Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Hello and welcome. There is not a single test that you can do to prove that your implants are the cause. I can tell you that it is not at all uncommon or surprising that your PS won't see you or discuss this issue. Since you say that you have 9 out of 10 symptoms on the humantics list, then the chances are it is the implants. The only way you will know for sure is to have them removed. There is not one reason I can think of to keep them in! I had mine for 11 years and was explanted 3 months ago. I am just now beginning to really feel what a difference it is living without implants that made me deathly ill everyday. I finally have my life back. There are wonderful resources in the files section of this group. I suggest that you try to make an appointment with one of the doctors listed there. If there isn't one near you, you can call Dr. Feng's office in Cleveland and speak with . She is extremely knowledgeable about implanted women, and is happy to talk about your symptoms and the probable causes. Best wishes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole thing has just happened so fast, yet been going on for so long. It has just clicked that these maybe the problem after being tested to see if I was a diabetic and that coming back negative and now going tomarrow for an ultrasound on my liver and kidneys. Do you know if the implants would cause platinium to show up in your urine test? I should have just had these things taken out 2 years ago when I first had them in and kept rejecting them then. I guess that not only is my head in a fog from not feeling well along with alot of other things but now I feel like I am spinning because of something that I have wanted eversince I was a little girl (every little girl dreams of having boobs, even my 4 year old), getting a short taste of them and then go through the hell of rejection and multiple surgeries trying to keep them in, to finally have them heal (my last surgery was in Dec.) and now learn that they are probabily what is making me so ill. I guess the man upstairs is just trying to tell us all that he created us the way he wanted us to be and not to mess with him! Anyways thanks again and I guess I will try some of these doctors. There is noway in hell I will be going back to my plastic surgeon. O'Day 27 yrs old Branson Missouri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Dear, I'm so sorry you're having problems too! . . . The only way you'll know for sure if it's your implants is to have them removed. The good news is that your chances of getting better after explant is excellent. Rheumatologists and plastic surgeons are the worst about admiting problems from implants. . . If you'll tell us where you live, perhaps someone can recommend a knowledgable doctor to you. Not all of us have the same symptoms . . . some women's symptoms are comparitively mild, while others are severe. Some implants are contaminated when they are put in . .. . others leak and become contaminated as they age. Dr. Blais in Canada has found an incredible number of bad organisms in implants and capsules sent to him. While you're considering what to do, please consider reading " The Maker's Diet " Rubin . . . It's more than a diet book. We have a list of suggested detox programs and recommended doctors. You might find some help there. If you have any questions, ask away. We have some wonderful ladies here who want to help! Hugs and prayers, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 you're not alone - I am in pretty much the same position. I have been sick for over 5 years, thinking I had fibromyalgia and now arthritis. I feel like I have no chance of getting well unless I get them out. My surgery is tentatively scheduled for October 19th. I'm a little worried about how I will feel about myself being very small again, but most of all, I can't wait to start the healing process. I don't have a success story for you (YET), but I wanted to let you know that I understand what you are going through. I'll pray for you. Cherie > I need HELP!!!

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 , Yes, platinum can show up in tests . . . Not only in an implanted woman, but their children . . . Ionized platinum is an extremely potent neurotoxin! The fact that they are implanting women of child bearing age and not warning them that it could affect the health of their children is criminal! Some of illnesses the children suffer from are the making of nightmares! Hug and prayers, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Hi. And welcome to our group. It does sound like your implants are causing your illness and your problems with getting implanted sound like your body did indeed not want them. Don't beat yourself up about getting them. If anyone had told you that you could get sick like this from these things you wouldn't have gotten them. But doctors keep touting them as perfectly harmless. I can't tell you how many people were told " Its just saline, and saline is natural to your body. Even if they rupture, it wouldn't hurt you. " Yea, right. I also got very sick from my saline implants. I thought I was dying. I have had mine out four years now, and some symptoms went away really quickly. Others I have had to do alot of detoxing and cleansing and changing of diet, etc. but it has been worth it. I have made good improvement and have my life back. You are right not to go back to the idiot ps that put them in. We have some good recommendations on this site and alot of info in our files sections. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have. This group is wonderful for support, information, and sharing every step of the way. Did you have platinum in your urine? Implants can have platinum in the shells. I would think that is definitely a sign the implants have affected you. I am glad that you have finally discovered that your implants are affecting you. Please don't let any doctor tell you that they are not. Most of us here have heard that and it simply isn't true. It really is important to find a PS that believes that implants cause illness and who will take them out properly ---removing the implant intact along with the capsule the body forms around it. What other symptoms do you have? Hugs, kathy > > Hello and welcome. There is not a single test that you can do to > > prove that your implants are the cause.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 WElcome to our group, Of course, we wish you didn't have to be here, but it does sound like you are reacting badly to your implants. The symptoms are pretty telling, as you have found through your reading. As for testing, there are tests for autoimmune conditions that can be done by a family doctor. However, these tests are not going to point to the implants as a cause. They can only tell you if there is an autoimmune condition developing. And for some of us, that is not welcome news. I delayed going to a rheumatologist, because I really didn't want to know if I had a disease or not. I was too scared. But I did go, and I did end up with an elevated rheumatoid factor, a lowered C3 Complement, and macrocytosis. Do you know what the doctor said? He said, " you're all better, you don't need to see me anymore. " REgarding the C3 complement results, he said, " lab error. " Obviously, he didn't want to deal with this. After that experience, I took the natural route. I went to alternative practioners who knew that implants were dangerous, and decided to stick with safe, natural therapies and let my body find its way back to health. It was the best thing I ever did. One thing I want to point out, which Rogene has also discussed previously, is that going to doctors and getting tests and collecting diagnosis of disease really doesn't help. It ultimately does us more harm than good. The reason? It puts black marks all over your medical records, which then jacks up your rates if you end up having to get your own insurance, (which I had to do) or can even prevent you from getting other insurances, (like life insurance as Shari found out). Getting test results of treatable autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's can be helpful, so I don't want to say forget testing, but I do want to point out that many autoimmune diseases have no effective treatment other than reducing symptoms with toxic steroids. These can leave you worse off than before, and in fact, Dr. Weil states that toxic steroid drugs can reduce your chances of healing through natural therapies. The best treatment for most autoimmune conditions is to detoxify the body. There are many testimonies out there of people who have cured or controlled lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma and other dangerous diseases through detoxification and healthy lifestyle changes. That is what I did, and that is what I considered to have cured me. No tests acurately diagnosed me, except for the Hashimoto's test, and no drugs have cured me. It took 4 years for my Hashimoto's to show up on tests, but I was healing before that time through natural healing methods.....things like fasting, colon cleansing, enemas, sauna therapy, ozone therapy, and changing my eating habits to exclude processed foods and include supplements that reduced my viral and fungal loads. It all begins with US. We have to take charge of our own health. Doctors have to fall off of the pedestal we put them on, because they ultimately refuse to look for the right answers concerning implant associated illnesses. Patty > I need HELP!!!
