Jul 26, 2008 - what do you want them to make implants out of? It has to be a non organic material or it will simply dissolve in the body. I looked up the studies, there may indeed be a risk associated with breast implants when it comes to connective diseases, but that risk is far overshadowed by complications due to surgery or implant rupture, which are not only far more dangerous but also far more likely and well documented.

Jul 26, 2008 - even though i have argued agaisnt most of you on this board, I will agree that stossel is a terrible journalist.

Jul 26, 2008 - hey, i read some material recently that has to do w/creating bigger breasts for women using their own fat and stem cells. it's a few years off, but that might be the possible future for women wanting bigger breasts. i just know from research and experiance that what's availiable now is deadly. i've tried to send you different links but this website blocks those posts.

Jul 26, 2008 - hey i did find a few journal articles that support your claims but i didn't know youtube prevents you from posting links. I had posted a few.Lastely, depsite all this, my personal pov, is that I work in the research field so I always am biased towards science but when it comes to breast implants I always felt that they were not worth the risk, even just the risk of anesthesia or infection .

Jul 26, 2008 - yeah, i agree. i feel that way too. now. i wish i would've felt that way then:)

Jul 26, 2008 - Thousands of women have come to Yahoo's SalineSupport, seeing answers to their health problems. Even more tragic are those who come to Yahoo's SiliconeKids for help with their children's horrible health problems. The FDA has hundreds of thousands of MedWatch on women who have become ill after getting breast implants. Plus hundreds of reports filed on behalf of children. THE FDA KNOWS THIS AND APPROVED ANOTHER GENERATION OF BREAST IMPLANTS ANYWAY.

Jul 26, 2008 - Mass hysteria. I have implants with no problems. "Saline support groups" are you freakin' kidding me? Where are all these nuts coming from or have you not all received your monies from all the phoney lawsuits filed?
wabbit300 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - I am that braintrust you speak of honey. Just because I don't need a therapist to get me through life doesn't give you license to say anything you want. I think your symptoms are hysterical and you can't cite any study proving any of your fear mongering nonsense. Anecdote isn't science.

Jul 26, 2008 - wabbit,you dont know jack!you think women that are sick is hysterical,you are sick!karma!
wabbit300 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - I do know jack. You don't know the difference between cause and anecdote. Do I think women have symptoms; yes. Do I think any symptoms any women have are always related to breast implants (if they have them); no. That is nonscience/nonsense.
kerrysilicone2000 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - ive seen so many saline implants come out black completley,transparent,and w mold and bacteria!do some research wabbit!these women didnt deseve this,there just like you,they got breast implants!
wabbit300 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - I do know jack; at least enough to understand the difference between causal and anecdotal. Are there women with silicone implants that have any medical symptoms/condition; yes. Are all/any symptoms related to breast implants; no. That would be silly to make that assumption - nonscience and nonsense. Pretty much covered that in 9th grade and if you missed that class just try being logical.
wabbit300 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - Tell thousands of women that they are being slowly poisoned and you'll get sick people because there are sick people in the population and then of course you'll also attract some hysterics that suddenly feel whatever you suggest. Silicone implants continued in other countries all this time without all of these phoney trumped up charges.
kerrysilicone2000 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - wabbit i have iyt on paper and mris that i have silicone on my lungs and my heart!have you ever gone to the board of platic surgeons and seen in the print at the bottom,silicone can migrate to any part of your body!
wabbit300 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - Your statement means very little without some proven link between silicone in any other part of your body and some associated illness. That's what ya'll simply aren't getting. It's not enough to say I'm sick so it must be this or that cause. What studies show is that there is no more of any particular illness in a population control group without implants or a control group population group with them. I imagine your suing somebody right?

Email links and website links will be filtered so comments cannot contain Spam. Maybe other keywords as well. Just a guess. Try refrasing if you're having trouble.
