why do medical pros not acknowledge that silicone poisoning from breast implants has long term illnesses?
all medical pros here in my city & surrounding cities deny that silicone poisoning has serious long term side effects. had infection when implanted in 1991, 1999 started feeling effects of infection, before 2004 implant ruptured, 2005 removed, now I have epilepsy, autoimmune disorder, connective tissue disorder, chronic pain & muscle spasms, extreme sensitivity to chemicals inside & out, cant tolerate to be touched do to multiple skin sensitivities and skin lesions that just pop up and spread all over body and doesnt go away. and other side effects.
Answer: Because there is no scientific evidence of such disorders being linked to silicone breast implants. Women who have received breast implants are no more likely to develop those disorders as is the general population. My mother has had silicone implants for over 20 years without a problem. She had her set replaced 2 years ago as a part of a breast lift not because of any problem with them.

How do I get rid of the smell of air freshener?
My brothers girlfriend has MCSMultiple Chemical Sensitivity. She bought this pillow today and brought it over to our house. She smokes cigarettes and the scent [of the cigarettes] was in the pillow. I was in my brothers room and did not like the smell so I sprayed the pillow with air freshener. It is a car air freshener so its pretty strong. I completely forgot that she has the disorder and her throat could close up So I need help immediately on how to get rid of the scent because she is really mad at me.
Answer: You probably have two options, I would ask her which one she would prefer. Either should be safe for someone with MCS... 1. put it in a garbage bag with baking soda and shake it around a bit. Let it sit in there for a while, and then take it off and brush off the baking soda. 2. spray this natural spray freshener - put 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar in a clean spray bottle. Once the fizzing sops, add 2 cups of warm water. Wait to make sure that there is no more foaming, and then put in the spray attachment. Shake before using. Good luck

Does anyone have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity to perfume?
I am obsessed with perfume. And I have been in serious search for my signature scent with no avail. I would order tons of perfume samples and eagerly await them in the mail so that I can start sniffing them. Recently, after some serious sample smelling, I started feeling just a bit tingly on my face or on my arms. I thought maybe it was one perfume in particular. Later, I went to work with some other perfume on, and my eyes burned and I felt hot. In the next few days I started feeling nauseous whenever I smelled some perfume I thought I had food poisoning from sushi. Later I started feeling tightness in my chest, and pain there also. It has gotten so bad that whenever I sit next to my computer where the desk still smells of some perfume I feel tightness, nausea, and general sense of unwell. I dont even want to smell my delicious Dove soap, it makes me sick. I wonder if this is going to pass once I dont smell any more perfume for a while. Or will I feel this way and maybe even worse for the rest of my life at any hint of synthetic fragrance?????????
Answer: Yes I am sorry to hear your passion seems to have turned on you. Your body is certainly sending you a strong signal, if you dont pay attention to it you could become like me. please pay attention to it, perhaps you could become passionate about exotic food, which tastes better with out perfume. Certainly I would suggest you see a doctor ASAP and get an appointment with an allergy specialist. the sooner you figure out what is going on the better, if you keep getting exposed you are likely to get worse. I suffer so badly that the smallest hint of perfume, one nose-full only makes my heart beat irregularly, my hands and feet go ice block cold, my throat swells, the glands under my arms swelland hurt, I get brain fog nausea, giddiness, lose muscle strength, eyes swell, sinuses go nuts, even my lungs hurt. Modern perfumes are generally petrochemcial concoctions and contain up to several hundred chemicals, many are not for fragrance, and very many are not tested for human safety. they can and do contain serious allergens, hormone disrupters, cancer causing compounds and neurotoxins. Although they smell nice to some people they are not good things ot put on your skin or to breathe. If you log on to the Canary Report,http://thecanaryreport.ning.com/ there are lots of friendly people on the social networks site that are similarly affected, lots of good information on the toxic effects of perfumes. good luck H

Can anyone give me a law quote that I can use at divorce trial regarding husband deliberately causing me harm?
Im trying to prove at Divorce trial in Alaska, that my husband of 21 years has deliberately caused me harm by provoking or aggravating my diagnosed illnesses Fibromyalgia, CFS, Possible MS, severe heavy metal toxicitys, MCS Multiple chemical sensitivities, Severe allergies to environment, chemicals & foods, & other health issues. I have medical records of these illnesses & proof that my husband was fully aware about them & knew that what he was doing to me was making me even more sick. He deliberately did things that caused severe hardship on me, making me sicker, causing me extreme & debilitating pain, even making me bedridden at times. PLEASE DO NOT tell me to ask or get an attorney, that is NOT my question here, PLEASE WHAT IM ASKING IS for something quoted from law that I can use at trial that proves or permits me to prove or offer as evidence of him causing me harm. I need the judge to permit me to explain & prove he did this to me. THANK YOU in advance for any real help you can give me regarding this 10 pts for best answer cyanne, thank you for your response, Im checking the Aschenbrenner Law Firm out. No, it wasnt arsenic, its lead & mercury that I got through working with my husband, he also used chemicals that aggravated the metals toxicity.
Answer: I cant give you any particular case law because you havent given me enough information. However, I am from Fairbanks. Im guessing that you have Arsenic poisoning heavy metal toxicity from the water. What you describe here is not at all uncommon in divorce cases and may constitute Attempted Murder. I recommend that you take your records and documents to the State Troopers or city police, if you are in a city with its own police. The troopers do take things like this very seriously. I also recommend the Aschenbrenner Law Firm. I have known them all of my life and know that they are probably the best attorneys in the State of Alaska.

Is chemical sensitivity and allergies related to 2012 spirituality?
Now I dont believe in the "end of the world" at 2012 but I do believe in conciousness changing.. I was reading up on subjects like the indigo and crystalline children, and came across some things which said that some of our bodies are going through changes and new sensitivities as of lately as our bodies are adjusting to the new changes... And I found that weird because it is true, new weird allergies and things have occured to me and people whod never had them before.. Chemical sensitivities, I heard was a recent thing.. Multiple chemical sensitivities?? Idk, I had a phase or bout with that once and it seems that it was something that would baffle my doctors and allergist. Itd seem like theres a new demand for health foods and health conciousness. Id met or spoke with some women who had serious changes I had just described, theyd experienced strange body reactions or allergies until theyd changed their diet, it was strange but not surprising either.. I guess this might seem sort of far out and that Id need to explain some things further in this question but maybe youre familiar with this subject matter? this was one of the pages I was looking through tonight which made me want to ask this question on yahoo.. its just info on indigo children and such, our future generation and etc.. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/ciencia_indigo.htmmenu I agree, I hate antiseptic wipes The idea of antibacterial-action in every thing is WAY too agressive..
Answer: People say all sorts of things about 2012, but its all phoney because 2012 will be no different from any other year. There wont be any physical event or change and there wont be any other sort of change. When 21st December 2012 arrives and Planet X or Nibiru has once again failed to appear, there is no sign of a pole shift, the galactic alignment turns out to be a damp squib and we havent been scorched by any solar flares, the woo-woos will proclaim its a "new beginning" or a "change in consciousness". In reality, nothing will change and everything will carry on just as before.

Help with finding a natural, effective deodorant for an MCS sufferer.?
Hi. I live in England and have MCS multiple chemical sensitivity Im intolerant to all toiletries, personal hygiene products, perfumes, fragrances etc. Im wanting to ask if anyone out there knows of a natural, fragrance free deodorant thats effective? Ive tried them all The mineral stones, etc and all useless at preventing body odour. Im becoming very selfconscious. If you have any SERIOUS suggestions of help, Id be very grateful to you. Best wishes, Clare.
Answer: Im sorry that the mineral stones didnt work for you, Clare. Maybe you could try a few brands. Ive used them for several years with no reaction and no odor. I love them. You could also try a paste of baking soda and water, and brush off the excess after it dries. Good luck, Sande

What natural / non-toxic spray can be used instead of hairspray, on cat tails for dried flower arrangements?
They need to be chemical-free for use around people who have MCS Multiple Chemical Sensitivities. ALSO, will what you suggest work well on Beard Grass / Rabbit Foot Grass / Polypogon, which is light colored instead of dark brown like Cat Tails, and, the seeds are fluffy & not compacted firmly together whereas, Cat Tails are??? For pics of each, please see & double-right-click on photos of: Cat Tails / Typha http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_tails Rabbit Foot Grass / Beard Grass / Polypogon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypogon Thank You To RE-iterate... INSTEAD of hairspray, or any other toxic substance. Please consider entire Q before answering. To RE-iterate... INSTEAD of hairspray, or any other toxic substance. Please consider entire Q before answering. To RE-iterate... INSTEAD of hairspray, or any other toxic substance. Please consider the whole Question before answering. Sorry for the repeated text. I thought I was just editing it. Anyway, I am wondering if water mixed with Aloe vera goo might work, at least on the Cat Tails as it probably gets dark, used alone with water. The Rabbits Foot Grass is a light wheat color... so that wouldnt work well with it, unless the idea is to darken them, of course. I looked some recipes for natural hairspray up, but they each have either citrus juice or white sugar in them, and I need something that has absolutely no sugar/s that might attract ants Tony, when I say: "natural / non-toxic", it is the same as saying: "natural OR non-toxic".
Answer: A chemical is a chemical whether its natural or not. Whatever you could use in place of regular hairspray still has chemicals and could just as well cause other problems. You need to a look on a chemical by chemical basis to see whether something will work for you. Natural vs. synthetic has nothing to do with level of toxicity.
