Subject: Serious Issue ... Manufacturer created " Storm in a D-Cup " on TVthis

weekend

Just got wind that this tainted piece - better named " How to $ell Brea$t

Implant$ to Briti$h Women " is being aired this weekend twice on " The

Learning Channel. "

Durkin, who disinformed many of us, including Sybil, Sally Kirkland,

Dr. Vasey, myself and others, created the " Medical Deity Marcia Angell

Speaketh " Throne ~ it may well have been financed by ph Price's public

relations team ... I have a few copies still I believe ... I'll dig up the

evidence we have on other scams Durkin pulled in Britain and how

discredited he now is as an investigator. One of the impressions this piece

leaves is that implants will reduce the risk of breast cancer. Remember the

new Lori Brown study does not support this position.

Anyone who wants to help contacting The Learning Channel and writing to

your media ... please do.

This is the epitome of the Junk$cience agenda on breast implants ...

disgraced in Britain ... now shipped here. Here are a couple things I

pulled up on them. Check local times these are San Diego's.

Spitting mad in San Diego ... love to the group, Ilena

" Storm in a D-Cup " ... " Are breast implants dangerous? Thousands of women

claim that their silicone implants have made them sick with ailments

ranging from rheumatoid arthritis to lupus. But not everyone believes

implants are the culprit. In fact, according to this special, some

scientists believe implants are not only safe, but beneficial, reducing the

growth of breast cancer.The hour examines the ongoing controversy from both

sides. "

This summer's tv brought some interesting revelations in the shape

of Equinox: Storm in a D-Cup(C4, May 24), which investigated the

controversy over breast implants. Since the Dow Corning litigations there

have been fears that implants cause swelling, disease and increased risk of

cancer, which have led to many people, Pamela among them, having

their implants removed. The programme brought to light new evidence which

suggests that not only are implants low-risk, but may even have a

preventative effect. An independent research group has been carrying out

tests on rats that show improved responses to introduced tumours amongst

those carrying implants. Encouraging, perhaps, for those of us at risk from

breast cancer (i.e. a lot of us: the estimate is now 1 in 12 women at risk)

but also worrying in the implication that more women may seek implants on

the basis of such research. Cosmetic breast augmentation currently costs

around £3,500, a figure beyond the reach of the vast majority of women: are

women unable to afford this going to feel disadvantaged, not only for the

usual male-oriented reasons, but because they see themselves as unable to

afford something that might protect them from cancer? As we have noted

before in this magazine, there is already a tendency these days for many

surgeons to treat small or post-pregnancy breasts as a disease. The

development of reconstructive technologies, for women who have had

mastectomies, is obviously a positive option: the development of a society

where women are made to feel uncomfortable without reconstructed breasts is

decidedly negative..
