Platinum is used as a catalyst
in the manufacture of gel components and the elastomer shell of silicone
breast implants. Women exposed to silicone breast implants have platinum
levels that exceed that of the general population. In the human body implants
are exposed to stress and heat, which can cause deterioration and oxidation.
The oxidation states of the platinum indicate that the exposure may be
toxic. Platinum species remain in the body for a long time after implants
are removed. Platinum salts have been associated with carcinogenicity and
neurotoxicity.
Toxic
Silicone Poisoning - The TRUE Breast Implant Stories:
The TRUTH of the GREATEST TRAVESTY AGAINST WOMEN in the 20th century
To reveal to the "people"
what has actually happened to these women before and after implantation
and their sufferings and realizations concerning the manipulation of general
opinion and media interests by large corporations and the major cover-up
that has taken place in this medical device industry. There are thirty-eight
known chemicals in the manufacturing and contents of silicone gel filled
breast implants! These thirty-eight chemicals are all toxic alone
if inhaled, ingested, or even handled; some causing cancer, some causing
neurological damage; organ damage or tissue damages. Combined all
together; however, they become a “chemical soup” that the F D A, the government,
the National Institute of Medicine, the Judicial System, the manufacturers
and their public relations’ firms, their lawyers, and the medical community
have allowed to be classified as a “medical device” and “suitable for implantation”
in the 
human
body! In the “informed consent” papers one must sign before having
the surgery for implantation of these “medical devices” no where does it
state any information about this “chemical soup”, no where does it state
any of the damage that could take place with these toxic “things” in the
human body!
450,000
Siliconized Women Sue
In 1984, setting a precedent for all women with implants and silicone-associated
illnesses, a woman named Maria Stern won $1.5 million in damages for autoimmune
symptoms produced by her implants. Litigation momentum has been building
ever since. By 1995, an estimated 450,000 American women had qualified
to be part of a gigantic $4.25 billion class action suit against the silicone
implant manufacturers. Many of the injured women fell through the litigation
cracks in 1995 when Dow Corning, one of the principal defendants, declared
bankruptcy, thereby taking itself conveniently off the fiscal hook. But
now that Dow Corning has agreed to a smaller global settlement ($3.2 billion
allocated, announced in July 1998), perhaps some injured women will finally
receive at least some recompense.
As medical authorities and scientific experts continually downplay the
risks of implants and assert that no association between implants and symptoms
has been proven, the case for silicone implant toxicity is growing, fueled
in large measure by the fact-finding efforts of the Plaintiffís
Steering Committee (PSC) for the National Breast Implant Litigation, consolidated
in Birmingham, Alabama. This national committee, appointed by U.S. District
Court Judge Sam Pointer, is comprised of 17 attorneys from around the country.
The nationally consolidated cases are known as the Silicone Gel Breast
Implant Product Liability, Multi-District Litigation Action No. 926.Part
of the Committeeís job, according to Karen E. Read, chief staff
attorney for the PSC Office of Liaison Counsel, is to gather and organize
evidence suitable for use in any and all court actions against the silicone
implant makers. In legal terms, itís called discovery. learn

Since their introduction in 1962, silicone breast implants have been
surgically emplaced in an estimated two million American women. Some women
get them as part of breast reconstruction therapy following mastectomy
for breast cancer, but the majority get them because they want larger breasts.
Now, 36 years later, it is alarmingly apparent that bigger, siliconized
breasts can be hazardous to your health. Weíre beginning to see
that the real cost of cosmetic breast enhancement may not be the $6,000
in surgical fees to implant them, but a host of autoimmune
symptoms and strange illnesses that can crop up, typically within about
seven years of implantation. Breast pain, breast hardness, and numbness
in the nipple are common complications that 
may
last for years, and may never go away. Breast pain, breast hardness,
and numbness in the nipple are common complications that may last for years,
and may never go away. Scientific
evidence proves that: Silicone breast implants can produce autoimmune
illnesses
Science
On Trial: The Clash pf Medical Evidence and the Law in the Breast Implant
Case
Angell, executive editor
of the New England Journal of Medicine, explores here a preposterous situation:
an industrial giant, Dow Corning, forced into Chapter 11 bankruptcy by
numerous lawsuits filed on behalf of recipients of Dow's silicone breast
implants?despite the fact that medical evidence to date shows no link between
implants and autoimmune disorders, cancer or any other disease. In a style
that ranges from gently didactic to plodding, Angell describes the events
leading up to the FDA's ban on implants, the torrent of lawsuits that followed
and the implications of the verdicts?overwhelmingly favorable to the plaintiffs
and often carrying cash awards in the millions of dollars?for science and
industry. Manufacturers have threatened to stop producing heart valves,
shunts and other vital medical devices because of the threat of liability;
further, suppliers of raw materials for these devices often refuse to sell
to American companies for fear of ending up in an American courtroom. The
author gives a clear explanation of the way science calculates risk (by
considering populations, not individuals) and ably contrasts this with
our judicial system, where the focus is on the individual seeking restitution.
Angell is an effective champion of the scientific method and does a good
job of exposing the chaos caused by a runaway tort system

Spills: Breast Implants on Trial
"This is a tragic story of
big business, disinterested government, a powerful medical profession,
and certainly less powerful female consumers....
Arguing that pseudoscientific
theories of race from the 19th and early 20th centuries still impact our
current standards of beauty and "unhappiness" with our own bodies, prolific
critic Gilman (Difference and Pathology) explores plastic surgery as an
extension of psychotherapy. He traces the history of aesthetic surgery
from its initial function of hiding disease (most particularly syphilis)
to its later incarnation as a means of erasing ethnic identity (specifically
Jewish identifications by nose shape and size) and creating a more "normal"
appearance. Freud and other analysts were instrumental in establishing
theories of aesthetic surgery and, Gilman argues, "provided a label for
what it cured: inferiority." Several of Gilman's chapters are devoted to
tracing this intersection between theories of race, aesthetics and psychology
in the works of early psychoanalysts. Although his overarching argument
is compelling, Gilman's work relies heavily on technical language. This
work will be most useful to the surgeons and therapists who counsel people
seeking plastic surgery and to cultural critics interested in tracing mutations
in concepts of health, happiness and beauty. (Nov.) FYI: Also due in November

Silicone
produces abnormalities in immune system functioning
Silicone elicits antibody responses and immunological abnormalities,according
to a study of 40 women who had received implants more than ten years earlier.
Among these women, 60% had an elevated ratio of helper T cells to suppressor
T cells; 20% had a blockage in particular functions of T cells and natural
killer cells. (Toxicology Industrial Health 8:6 [November/December
1992], 415-429.) Scientists at the University of California at Davis
reported that evidence suggests that the degradation products of silicone
inactivate CD8+ suppressor T cells (key immune cells) and thereby lead
to an inflammatory state in the body. (Food and Chemical
Toxicology 32:11 [November 1994], 1089-1100.) The activity of natural
killer cells is significantly suppressedin at least 50% of women with silicone
implants observed in a study; this puts the women at a higher risk of developing
cancer. The same effect was demonstrated in animals; it was reversed upon
removal of the silicone. (Toxicology and Industrial Health
10:3 [May/June 1994], 149-154.)
Kenneth
Bock, MD - "Because transfer factors can function
as immune system modulators, they can help to restore immune system balance
in many types of clinical situations."Kenneth Bock, MD, best selling author
on immune system modulation.
High levels of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANAs), immune markers associated
with lupus erythematosus, were observed in ten of 11 women with implants
reporting autoimmune
symptoms. (Lancet 340:8831 [November 28, 1992], 1304-1307.)
When 500 women with silicone implants were examined, 30% tested positive
for ANA levels; those women also had rheumatic symptoms. The results strongly
suggested immune activation in women with silicone implants.(Current
Topics in Microbiological Immunology 210 [1996], 277-282.) Based
on a study of 3,380 breast implant recipients, scientists state there is
a sixfold increased likelihood that testing these women will show elevated
ANAs; the longer the implant has been in place, the greater the likelihood.
(Current
Topics in Microbiological Immunology 210 [1996], 337-353.)
In a study of 111 women (with and without implants), those with implants
had a statistically significant elevationof anti-silicone antibodies (immune
cells focused against silicone as a foreign substance in the body); the
highest levels were observed in women with noticeable implant rupture or
leakage. (FASEB 7:13 [October 1993], 1265-1268.) Researchers
at the University of Wisconsin at Madison School of Medicine reported that
autoantibodies of unclear significance may be found in 5% to 30% of women
with silicone breast implants.(Archives of Internal Medicine
153:23 [December 1993], 2638-2644.) Researchers at Monash University
in Clayton, Victoria, in Australia, found that women with silicone implants
(70 were studied) have elevated levels of autoantibodies to collagen, in
a manner highly similar to women with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. (Current
Topics in Microbiological Immunology 210 [1996], 307-316.)
Among 310 symptomatic women with silicone implants, there were elevated
levels of novel autoreactive antibodies to silicone associated antigens(a
specific type of heightened immune response) compared to healthy women
without implants. (Current Topics in Microbiological Immunology
210 [1996], 327-336.) Scientists at the Technical University of
Munich in Germany examined 239 breast implant recipients and found the
following immunological abnormalities: levels of complement C3 were elevated
in 42% of the women; complement C4 was elevated in 21%; and antithyroglobulin
(an antibody that attacks a substance in the thyroid gland) was higher
in 28%. (Annals of Plastic Surgery 36:5 [May 1996], 512-518.)
When silicone leaks from implants, immune cells form granulomas (microscopic
lumps) around the droplets; the granulomas are capable of severely disrupting
the immune system. Silicone plays the role of an adjuvant,providing constant
nonspecific stimulation of the immune system.(Journal of
Investigative Surgery 9:1 [January/February 1996], 1-12.)
Silicone produces a classifiable new disease marked by
autoimmune
symptoms
Among physicians willing to credit silicone with toxicological and immunological
effects, a variety of names for silicone-induced disease have been proposed:
siliconosis, undifferentiated or atypical connective tissue disease, silicone
related disease, silicone reactive disorder, silicone disease syndrome,
and silicone implant disease (SID). Typical symptoms associated with silicone
include cognitive dysfunction, short-term memory loss, Sjögrenís
syndrome (dryness in glands, such as the mouth, kidneys, eyes, and lungs),
scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, dermatomyositis, severe joint and muscle
pain, incapacitating fatigue, swollen lymph glands, skin problems, peripheral
numbness, multiple allergies, headaches, hair loss, sunlight sensitivity,
central nervous system disorders (similar to multiple sclerosis), and others.
Among
176 breast implant patients examined by doctors at the Hospital for Joint
Diseases, Orthopaedic Institute, in New York City, the most frequently
reported symptoms were chronic fatigue (77%), cognitive dysfunction (65%),
severe joint pain (56%), dry mouth (53%), dry eye (50%), hair loss (40%),
and difficulty in swallowing (35%). (Seminars in Arthritis
and Rheumatology 24:1 Suppl 1 [August 1994], 29-37.) A study of
50 women with implants revealed that 89% complained of fatigue, 75% of
generalized stiffness, 71% of poor sleep, and 78% of joint pain. Positive
ANAs were found in 38% of these patients. (Seminars in Arthritis
and Rheumatology 24:1 Suppl 1 [August 1994], 44-53.)
Richard
Bennett, PhD - "The immunity provided by transfer
factors is long lived and can help all ages who are suffering from
a variety of ailments or those who want to stay well.”
Silicone
is a biologically active and toxic substance
The
original statement by the Dow Chemical Company in the 1940s, repeated hundreds
of times since, that silicone is biologically inert and nontoxic, was based
on a single one-week study of rats and guineas pigs. (In 1943, Dow Chemical
Company and Corning Glassworks formed Dow Corning Corporation to market
silicone and silicone implants.)
The basic gel implant fillerñDC 360 silicone fluidñwas
once considered worth following upfor development by Dow Corning scientists
as a potent insecticide, one of the few known substances capable of killing
cockroaches. Dow Corning researchers also studied silicone as a possible
better chemical warfare and riot control agent,according to a 1969 internal
memorandum obtained by the PSC.
The silicone gel is not a single substance but a fluid comprised of
numerous different versions of silicone, such that it is better termed
a chemical soup.î
Research collected by the PSC shows that silicone has marked effects
on the adrenal glands and liver, induces chronic inflammation, and degrades
into smaller molecules, including silica. Silicone fed to rabbits produced
widespread toxic effects including kidney and spleen damage within four
months. (Stanford Medical Bulletin, 10:1 [1952], 23-26.)
That silicone is toxic in both animals and man is well proven,stated
John S. Sergent, M.D., and colleagues in Textbook of Rheumatology (W.B.
Saunders Company, 1993). Silicone degrades into silica, usually at the
surface of the gel implant, then fragments and subdivides into millions
of microdroplets capable of migrating throughout the body (PSC Records
No. 1352, 7017: these are documents produced by Dow Corning in national
litigation). Silica in the body is a toxic, carcinogenic substance, damaging
the immune system, killing cells, and producing silicosis.
Silicone and its contaminants which bleed through its surrounding implant
envelope into neighboring tissue have the potential for significant toxicity
in the implant recipient.(Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatology 24:1 Suppl
1 [August 1994], 11-17.) According to research gathered by attorney
Richard Alexander, of the Alexander Law Firm in San Jose, California, Dow
Chemical and Dow Corning have been aware of the toxic effects of silicone
and silica since the 1950s, based on their own studies, but never published
the data. They knew these substances were bioreactive, immunogenic, toxic,
and inflammatory when introduced into the human body,states Alexander.
(Update on Breast Implants,January 1998, website: http://consumerlawpage.com.)
Researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles School of
Medicine concluded in 1995: From a pathophysiological perspective, silicones
should be expected to be bioactive materials and the physico-chemical and
immunological data at the experimental level are compelling.(Journal of
Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition 7:2 [1995], 101-13.

What
Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why
are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the
world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands
of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually,
as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics, 
congressional
testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly
held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.
Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes
rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B
vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up
sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced.

CDC
website
In fall 1997, two influential professional magazines featured articles
asking the question: Has the decrease of infectious diseases in childhood
through the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an increase in chronic
diseases such as diabetes and asthma? The Economist, a prestigious international
magazine read by world leaders in government, business and public policy,
and Science News, a magazine read by both health care 
professionals
and the general public, explored the reported links between vaccines and
chronic diseases in their November 22, 1997 issues.

Congressman
is calling for criminal penalties for any government agency that knew about
the dangers of thimerosal in vaccines and did nothing to protect American
children. Congressman Dan Burton (R-Indiana) during Congressional
Hearing: "You mean to tell me that since 1929, we've been using Thimerosal,
and the only test that you know of is from 1929, and every one of
those people had mennigitis, and they all died?" For nearly an hour, Burton
repeatedly asked FDA and CDC officials what they knew and when they knew
it. (Thimerosal contains a related mercury compound called ethyl mercury.
Mercury is a toxic metal that can cause immune, sensory, neurological,
motor, and behavioral dysfunctions.)
