What all do you think should be in petition? ... Some information to think about:

[Guest guest]

One of our silent sisters asks if we can get a petition signed . . . Can we? Rogene ---------------------------------------------------- Subject: What all do you think should be in petition? ... Some information to think about:Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2006 20:16:21 -0700 Get the petition signed, have one woman from every state give a copy of it to all her U.S. State Senators and they can put pressure on the FDA to get a total on everything that is on the adverse Med-Watch reports from all the implanted people. Manufacture name - Type of Implant - Implanted year - List of diseases - List of disorders If all the group leaders got a petition with enough names on it could it be done?? What do you think can we do this??? Everyone that sent in a med-watch paper has medical information. *234,187 Adverse Reports to FDA on Breast Implants ... as of 30 Apr 2002*That should be enough to prove there is a problem and CAN we demand IT be classed as a study?? *Because there are no large studies to back up a link to the diseases/disorders what is on the med-watch papers should help us prove a connection to ALL below… WE are the Study!!! *The FDA has the results of the largest study ever done, over 300 thousand women. They have the name of manufactures year implanted list of diseases and disorders. We want the results published in 30 days. This should have been done years ago!!!**With the large number of adverse reports to the FDA on the Breast implants all should have been tested for toxic chemicals, ionized platinum, heavy metals, silicone toxicity, fungi and bacteria as they knew this could be the cause of our illness and did nothing to help us. We want it done now and on state of the art equipment. *Also we are asking that the FDA get a list of diseases and disorders of the offspring

born after women were implanted. Back in the 90’s, 280 some thousand, give or take, children were denied getting into the settlement. Some of the parents have testified at the hearings about their problems. *Med-Watch papers: The injected and some saline women were denied in the

settlement. They also have sick children, Did they and the men send in a Med-watch paper? *There should never have been anyone on the hearing panels except doctors, immunologist, pathologist, toxicologist, researchers that know about Chemically Induced Diseases and Disorders to decide if the implants should stay on the market… No one with a conflict of interest… No plastic surgeons. *About the statutes of limitations: We tried to get help and still can’t get anyone to step up and fight for us.*Letters, emails, called, faxed to the Senate Health Committee, CDC, FDA, EPA, ATSDR begging for help for over 20/30 years.*Only diseases are in the settlement not heavy metals and toxic chemicals. We were never tested for them and most can’t afford to get tested. We don’t know all the chemicals and heavy

metals they used so we need someone that will turn on the machine to find everything. Also check and see if we have any other metals that have ionized state and what damage that can do to our bodies. *CDC, FDA, NIH all have out dated equipment that cannot detect parts per billion. *Labs will not test for most of the chemicals and heavy metals that our insurance will pay for it. We thought the MDL, TCC, Judge P, were helping us… BIG joke …. ADD to this list_____ *Settlement money: some of the women said it won’t pay for one year of their medical expense. *The manufacturers have managed to misconstrue and cover-up the dangerous health information given to the public. The 40 (more or less) studies funded by the major silicone manufacturer in America, all of which concluded that silicone implants are safe. The Manufacturers should be held accountable for the injected, implanted and their offspring. *If a Federal judge said Dow Chemical cannot be excluded, how can Dow Corning push it into the settlement? Why should Dow Chemical be excluded? *CONGRESSMAN SEEKS DOW CORNING HEARINGS , By: Hess, Glenn, Chemical Marketing Reporter, 00900907, 7/24/95 Vol. 248, Issue 4Rep. Traficant (D-Ohio) claims that in 1990 testimony before a congressional panel, the company lied about the safety of the implants. “I am asking Attorney General Janet Reno to look into possible criminal violations," *Part of an articleChemically Induced Diseases: Synergistic Effects and Cumulative Injuries caused by Toxic ChemicalsA major breakthrough in understanding the toxicological impact of multiple chemical exposures has been discovered by researchers at Texas Southwestern Medical School and the Duke University Medical Center. The discoveries may have a profound impact on the manufacturing, testing and warnings required for all chemicals sold in the

United States. It is this new testing that holds promise for a better understanding of the impact of chemicals on health that has long been advocated by environmental activists, occupational health specialists, recipients of “breast implants”, those exposed to chlorinated hydrocarbons and sufferers of multiple chemical sensitivity. *I heard that Dow told

Congress there was no proof that these diseases were caused by the implants but since a lot of the women had them they included them in the settlement so they could settle. I found all below in the DOW Settlement There are 134 Signs-Symptoms-Findings listed Disease and Disability/Severity Definitions: Definitions of Covered Conditions: Sclerosis, Scleroderma, Lupus, Sicca Syndrome, Mixed Connective Tissue Disease/Overlap Syndrome, Arthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Non-Specific Immune Condition, Non-Specific Autoimmune Condition, Anemia, Neurological Disease Syndrome, Neurological Disorders, Abnormal Brain MRI or Spect Scan, Loss of Short Term Memory, Multiple Sclerosis or Multiple Sclerosis-like syndrome, Polymyositis, Dermatomyositis, Sjogren's Syndrome, Raynaud’s phenomenon, Thyroid disorder, Sleeping Spells, Elevation of Immunoglobulin, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, EBV, Colitis or Bowel irritability, Pulmonary Disease, Serositis, Renal disorder, Hematologic disorder, Antinuclear antibody, Myositis or

Myopathy, Peripheral Neuropathy or Polyneuropathy, Serologic abnormalities: Anti-DNA,SSA,SSB,RNP,SM,SCL-70,centromere, Jo-1PM-SCL, or double stranded DNA (using ELISA with standard cutoffs), © anti-microsomal, anti-cardiolipin, or RF, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I did not find but maybe over looked. Fibromyalgia, Organ Calcification, Loss of Smell and Taste, CancerAllergic reactions to: Everything – Medications – Small amounts of everyday chemicals – Silicone Allergic Responses: Chest pain – Shortness of breath - Spasms of the Esophagus - Rashes – Itching - Asthma – Cough – Joint pain – Headaches - Loss of voice for hours or days Spine: degenerative disc disease, canal stenosis, disc dessication, spurring, degenerative spondylosis Shoulders, Knees, Hips: degeneration and osteoarthritis at the joint and tearing of the tendons and ligaments.
