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.
