Everyone - please read!

[Guest guest]

One of our silent implant sisters is putting together

information for her local University . . .

She's asking if there is anything else to be added to

the following that may help everyone.

I'll be happy to forward anything you send!

Thanks,

Information about: Silicone, Ionized Platinum,

Chemicals, Heavy Metals, Bacteria, Fungi,

hypersensitivity test for silicone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Implanted and injected women and their children have

been DENIED testing for toxic chemicals, heavy metals,

silicone, ionized platinum, bacteria and fungi.”

For many decades manufacturers have sold products,

such as silicone gel/saline, single-lumen (saline

mixed with silicone gel) and double-lumen adjustable

breast implants.

They have argued that silicone is safe, weather the

implant ruptures or not, silicone leaks and migrates

to every organ in the body. The catalyst used to

manufacture the silicone for silicone gel and silicone

elastomer for gel-filled and saline-filled implants

was platinum chloride, a highly reactive molecule and

precursor to the chemotherapy agent cisplatin. Some

manufactures use Tin as a catalyst for saline-filled

implants.

It is recognized by the scientific community that

" platinum salts " (chloroplatinic acid) and silicone

can cause systemic disease in humans as a result of

toxic and/or hypersensitivity reactions.

Dr. Ray Biagini, Director Research Scientist/Research

Toxicologist at CDC/NIOSH states that soluble salts of

platinum are the most potent chemical sensitizers

known to man.

THERE IS NO KNOWN WAY TO GET IONIZED PLATINUM AND

SILICONE OUT OF THE BODY.

Saline Implants have leaky valves, shell defects

(rupture). Micro Organisms accumulate over many years.

As a result, with time, the closed space fills with a

complex mixture of bacteria, fungi, algae, and slimes.

Organisms Found In Such Environments Include:

Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Pseudomonas Putida,

Streptococci, Spivarum, CoccidioidesImmitis, Papilloma

Viri, Herpes Simplex, Aspergillus Fumigatus,

Aspergillus Boufardi, Aspergillus Niger, Bacteroides

Fragillis, Curvularia, Staphylococci, Mycobacterium

Chelonei, Mycobacterium Fortuitum, Mycobacterium

Tuberculosis, Mycobacterium Avium, Alternaria Tenuis,

Rhodotorula Glutinis, Penicillium Notatum, Microsporum

Epidermophyton, Ricophyton, Candida Albicans, Proteus

Mirabillis, Propioni Bacterium Acne, Serratia

Marcescens as well as their metabolites and toxins.

Exposure to ionized platinum, silicone, heavy metals

and toxic chemicals cause such diseases as Multiple

Chemical Sensitivity, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus,

Connective Tissue Disease, Scleroderma, Sjogren's

Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Thyroid, Chronic

Fatigue Syndrome, Leukemia, DNA Changes, Immune

Dysfunction, Autoimmune Disorder, Loss of Memory, Loss

of Smell and Taste, Organ Calcification, Neurological

Disorders.

Compounding the problem, ionized platinum and toxic

chemicals involved readily cross the placental

barrier, unpublished research document that

significant amounts of ionized platinum are present in

the milk of nursing mothers, so even the unborn future

generations of poisoned mothers will be affected.

Run the hypersensitivity tests to see if the medical

problems are silicone related for you or your

children.

INTRODUCTION WHAT IS SILICONE?

Silicones are a family of chemical compounds. They are

made from silicon, a naturally occurring element found

in sand, quartz, and rock. Next to oxygen, silicon is

the most common element in the earth's crust, and

becomes silicone when it is combined with oxygen,

carbon, and hydrogen. Depending on the arrangement of

the molecules, silicones can be manufactured in a

variety of forms, including oils, gels, and solids.1

CONSUMER AND MEDICAL PRODUCTS

Silicones have been part of the consumer industry for

over 50 years. Because they can be manufactured in

various ways, silicones appear in a wide variety of

products that most of us use everyday. Hairsprays,

suntan lotions, and moisturizing creams are just some

of the consumer products that contain one form of

silicone called dimethicone. The applications of

silicone, whether used as an oil, gel, or solid, are

equally extensive in the medical field.

For example, the lubricating qualities of silicones

make them ideal for coating surgical needles and

suture thread, as well as the inside of

syringes and bottles used for the storage of blood and

intravenous medicines.

Protective silicone coatings have also been used in

pacemakers and heart valves. Other medical devices

utilizing silicones include: artificial joints,

catheters, drainage systems, facial implants, tissue

expanders, and breast implants. Silicone products have

been shown to be biocompatible, reliable, flexible,

and easy to sterilize, making them an ideal choice for

both implantable and non-implantable medical devices.

Silica feared as 'next asbestos'

By Yvette Essen (Filed: 20/09/2004)

Silica sand, which is often turned into a gel and put

into handbags and electronic goods to soak up

moisture, has become the latest substance to

join a list of toxic products worrying underwriters.

Aon, the second-largest insurance broker, said

individuals extracting silica or working on

manufacturing sites may be overexposed to the product,

which could lead to silicosis - " a disabling,

non-reversible and sometimes fatal lung disease " .

Other problems can include lung cancer, pulmonary

tuberculosis, airway diseases, autoimmune disorders

and chronic renal disease.

The broker has added silica to its toxic substances

database, which lists materials troubling the

insurance and reinsurance industry. Asbestos and

tobacco are also on the list, as is toxic mould – a

fungus that grows on walls and carpets, and can lead

to respiratory problems. Aon said the potential for

class action is " possible " .

While there has been no medical evidence of a link

between silica gel and silicosis, reinsurers are

investigating whether exposure to silica sand could

lead to numerous insurance claims.

Mark Hewett, deputy chairman of Guy Carpenter, the

world's largest reinsurance broker, said his company

is conducting research into silica.

He said: " It is a common product in a natural

environment but it starts to get hazardous if it is

cut and the dust particles get in the air. The big

question is, is it the next asbestos? We think it is

probably not but it raises a number of similar

issues. "

Silica is used in the stone masonry business, for

glass production and pool filter sand. Aon says ground

silica is " ideal for plastics and rubber, polishes and

cleansers, glassfibre and precision castings. "

Fine-ground silica is a high-quality filler used in

paints and coatings.
