HISTORY: Breasts Implants Belong in Quackery Museum Dr. Mercola

[Ilena Rose]

Note from Health Lover, Ilena Rosenthal: Dr. Mercola was right to be
worried. In November, 2006, the FDA caved in to the demands of the
breast implant industry and awarded the coveted "safety" approval on
silicone breast implants.

EXCERPT: Breasts Implants Belong in Quackery Museum


Implanting bags of saline or silicone into women’s bodies, or breast
implants as they’re know, are making a comeback despite a lack of
credible scientific evidence to show their short- or long-term safety.
Further, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which declared a
moratorium on breast implants in 1992, is now considering lifting all
restrictions. These devices--largely a product of intense PR and media
stereotypes--are becoming mainstream when surely they belong in the
"Museum of Questionable Medical Devices in the U.S."

Dr. Mercola's Comment:
Some of the sickest women I have seen were suffering from a
silicone-implant-induced immune dysfunction. Breast implants are
clearly very dangerous, as studies have shown that nearly all of them
invariably rupture or leak. Silicone from implants is a complex
chemical that can have very significant and devastating consequences
on the immune system.
