Guest guest Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 I think the best way to answer your question is to state that all of our answers are opinions. At least, that is the safest answer, in my opinion!

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 There is a real woman behind the alias of " " named Arlene Cummings. The site is funded by Plastic Surgeons who pay large fees to advertise and have women thinking they are getting 'unbiased' information. Over the years, I have had several women join my support group after being mislead by the breast implant industry propaganda from that site. www.BreastImplantAwareness.org > > > > Hello, > > I read a bit through the thread about 's breast-implant > site being > > somewhat a hoax in a nutshell.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Elenii, It's my mistake that 's site is owned by a woman with another name. . . I was wrong. I thought that was her group name. Patty was right. The name she used to testify in front of the FDA was Cummings. She also has other groups - facial and lipo Look at implantinfo.com . . . Did you see the list of " Sponsors " ? These are plastic surgeons who PAY to be listed there. . . At one time, I knew the rate . . . but, even if I could remember, it's probably changed by now. . . Why not ask how much it costs to become a " sponsor " ? What do you want in the way of proof? Is not the sponsor list proof of who they work for? Many implanted women have tried posting our experiences there. Only to have our messages deleted, and our addresses blocked! . . . They have messed with my computer, and had my provider cancel my service! They make the claim that they've asked support groups to respond to what they say and that no one has responded. NOT TRUE. The truth is that they refuse to post what we've sent them. If you want to believe what they say . . . be my guest! If you have problems with your implants and need help finding resouces, we'll be here! I can't prove that they aren't watching our group . . .. but I would bet they are. I pray God has His own special Hell waiting for the Devils who cause so much pain for so many women - and their unborn children!

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I don't know why I am so surprised to hear this - that the site is a sham. What about implantforum.com and some of the others? And to think that the opinions and advice shared on those sites gave me an even greater push to consider going under the knife! > > > > > > Hello, > > > I read a bit through the thread about 's breast-implant > > site being > > > somewhat a hoax in a nutshell.
