hELLO I though I had to comment on your excellent site my name is Dawn and I run a support group for 65,000 women in the UK who suffer horrendous illnesses from the effects of silicone breast implants the illnesses they suffer are sclerderma, Lupus ME MS crohns and many other autoimmune disorders The children which they bear then go on to suffer secondry illnesses passed through the placental barrier due to the mothers implants.

Even the FDA admit breast implants can cause cancer and yet in the UK many masectomy patients are automatically given breast implants. They were banned years ago in the States so why do we still let them be on the market when so many are sick from them There are websites that speak directly to silicon breast implant survivors please look them up. I myself have Lupus Antiphilosophid syndrome (a rare and dangerous blood disorder) Raynards syndrome and fibromyalgia and I had my implants taken out 7 years ago!! I continue to fight our plight with the british system and hope one day we will get compensation and the british government takes these toxic timebombs off the market!! all the best Dawn A Silicone Survivor

Silicone breast implants vs saline

Dow Corning no longer makes silicone gel breast implants, but only ended their production after thousands of women became ill and instituted lawsuits against the company.

The shell of saline breast implants is composed of silicone and is subject to breaking down in the body, causing ruptures and leakages of saline. While saline in a bottle is non-toxic, saline has a shelf life and should not be exposed to the higher than recommended storage temperatures of the human body.

Saline implants have been known to have up to 36 types of fungus and bacteria. Just as bodily fluids seep through the shell into the implants, the contaminated saline seeps through the silicone shell and enters into the body, causing illnesses.

There is no such thing as a safe breast implants. Read the reason why Dr. Barbara Manno of Tulane University voted to approve Mentor breast implants in 2005. "And it isn't to have a choice, they can make a choice and it's tough luck if it doesn't work."

Dow does not make Silicone implants

The implants used now are Saline, not Silicone. Saline is a harmless liquid (water) that is able to be absorbed into the body in the event of a rupture. You do know it's 2006, not 1986 right?
