Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I haven't looked at many proimplant sites recently. All those I have looked at were sponsored by plastic surgeons. Look at it this way . . . Why would anyone spend so much time and money on these sites if there wasn't something in it for them? . . . It's a business, pure and simple! The estimated minimum cost of setting up a site like that is $10,000, plus thousands of dollars in maintenance. There are nuts like us who have been injured and are determined to do everything in their power to stop this travesty. . . There are some of us (probably less than 100) who spend thousands of hours reaching to help those who are injured and tell the public about the dangers of implants. A few - like Toxic Discovery and Command Trust - get some fiancial help through grants and contributions. If I understand it correctly, either the MDL or DOW's settlement required that some money be used to educate women about implants. When I went to Washington, D.C. earlier this year to protest the FDA tentative approval of Inamed's " new " silicone gel implant, what I heard from the other support women I met was that they felt compelled to do this - just as I do. I know that, for me, doing this is God's will! This has been proven to me again and again. Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
