From: and Adella (by way of ilenarose)<rmatthew@...>Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2001 10:16 AMSubject: 16th birthday boobs ~ IAS writes Canadian NewspaperDear Ilena,Please post for all to read,Ý I.A.S.Implant Awareness Society's reply tothe newspaper in Vancouver Canada that requested comments. This news wasalso on a local radio show, and one of our very ill women, who has 12clinically doctor diagnosed silicone diseases phoned in to the radiostation.She told them what her diseases are and gave them our phonenumber. I had a woman phone me, who is desperately ill from gel implantsthat the plastic surgeons are assuring her to keep. It just goes on andon,Ý Thank you again for being there for us.Adella .From: and Adella <rmatthew@...> The Province <provletters@...>Date: January 5, 20017:22 PMSubject: 16th birthday boobsDear Province, ÝIn response to your request for comments on the article "And for her 16thbirthday, we're buying Jenna breasts", we would like to inform you thatwe provide accurate information to women,Ý doctors, health careproviders, and The World Health Organization about the toxic effects ofall breast implants. ÝWe are the I.A.S. Implant Awareness Society, registered in B.C. andOttawa, 604-572-8486. Our president and founder, Adella , has over1,000 pages of documentation provided by the FDA and many Canadian andAmerican doctors. Ý The FDA banned silicone gel implants in 1992Ý whenthey found beyond all doubt how silicone gel is toxic to the human body.On page 15, Breast Implants: An Information Update, printed by the FDA in1998 states: "recommended removal of all gel-filled implants preferablyÝbefore 8 years of implantation". What plastic surgeon tells women that?We have yet to find one! ÝThe FDA has issued a warning to immediately remove all Trilucent orsoy-oil breast implants. Death comes in two weeks if one ruptures.Plastic surgeons are dragging their heels on this one. The public was ledto believe that gel and soy were safe and effective!Ý Saline breast implants were recently approved by the FDA, setting anew low standard for them, and many doctors other than plastic surgeonswere appalled. Ý The elastomer shell for all breast implants is silicone.Fumes from the elastomer shells, heated to 98 degrees, killed labanimals, this is our own body temperature. This information comes fromDow's own laboratory research.. Ý After the first surgery for salineimplantation, an average of three more will follow before the FDArecommended removal time of less than 8 years. Ý Breast feeding istotally discouraged. Bacteria is constantly in the implanted breast andthis is equivalent to mastitis. Documented for certain. Plastic surgeons,who can earn one million on breast implantation surgery a year, do nottell this ugly truth. ÝThe ls of The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada,February 2000, page 34, quotes Cornella J. Bains MD, MSc, FACE:"Regardless of indication, SBIs are associated with local and mechanicalside effects, fibrous capsule formation, discomfort, altered nipplesensation, and implant dislocation and rupture. Such problems areexperienced by many and cause indisputable morbidity." Ý What rationalthinking parents would want to set their daughter into a lifetimeÝ ofsurgery every eight years or less. The truth must get out to the public,who unknowingly promote these toxic, non-life-saving devices. There aremany other ways to promote to our teens that self-confidence comes fromwithin, not from a breast implant that, as Dr. Bains declares, causesmorbidity. There are over thirty diseases, documented in peer-reviewedmedical journals, caused or exacerbated by breast implants. Ý Many moviestars, like Demi , are currently shunning all breast implants andare getting explanted. ÝAdella Surrey, B.C.
