Re: Dr. Blais's letter

[Guest guest]

I was told that if I took the implants then they would be considered

tampered with.....I want to get mine checked out and see what comes

up..they are in Dr.Fengs office in Cleveland in a solution so that

they are considered free from contaminants. I wonder if mine would

show the same thing. Hmmmmmmmmm?????? which post is it that has his

contact info? thanks Patty

wanted to share with all of you.

contaminated with at least one class of micro-organisms

(mycobacteria). Having such implants in that condition would be

approximately equivalent to bearing two large abscesses for more than

a year.

physicians and pathology laboratories who require background

information on the product and pathway of injury. "

legal issues that arise in the future, such as a class action lawsuit

for those injured by saline implants, (I am not going to hold my

breath on that one). If I have a mycobacteria issue, I am not sure

that I need to see a doctor or not, as I am using the ozone therapy

at home, and that is supposed to kill all pathogenic organisms,

including mycoplasms. So, it may be moot.

the thought of two large abscesses sitting around for more than a

year is pretty disgusting.
