Read something today that got me thinking.....

[Guest guest]

OK, so I occasionally read the pro-implant sites just to see if

anyone has any questions about explant, or if I can direct anyone

who's having problems somewhere else. I figure if it's really a

site to help people make informed decisions (which we know it's

not), then all viewpoints should be allowed (but we know they

aren't). I read a post today from someone who was researching

implants, and she was concerned because she read that a 20 year old

study said that implants caused brain cancer. Well, she was accused

of being a " troll " , someone who really wasn't looking into implants

but instead was one of those freaks who was anti-implant and was

just looking to make trouble. Someone who responds quite frequently

and considers herself to be very well informed on implants told her

that 20 years ago, implants were made of polyurethane, so therefore

the study was outdated. Could be the study was outdated, however

it's a shame that people with legitimate concerns on a pro-implant

site have to end up defending themselves for even asking the

question. It's also a shame that the report on the Cancer Society's

page is 20 years old, and that none of the people who are sick have

been studied. I'm sitting here typing this message with my sore

fingers, looking at the screen with my blurred vision, and feeling

really sad for those who will end up in the same boat as us because

they went to a site that feeds the machine, looking for honest

information, and instead ended up having to defend themselves for

doing the research that the pro-implant site supposedly recommends.
