  • Scar Capsules Are NOT An Impermeable Barrier .. and other important tidbits

    Posted at 10:00 am by motherima, on March 17, 2017

    Video featuring Dr Barnett, Sarasotta, Florida speaking to a woman about her breast implants that had been removed.


    In an attempt to protect women from their breast implants the body forms scar capsules around them.

    Though the capsules are a valiant effort by our immune system, they are NOT an impermeable barrier that unfailingly keeps leaked silicone safely contained.

    Dr Barnett: “Blood is constantly being bathed in the little micro-droplets of silicone.”

    Every woman I know that’s held their ‘explanted’  breast implants expressed that their eyes, nose, and face burned  from the chemicals in the implants. They describe a terrible smell.

    In the video, Dr Barnett comments the silicone was burning her eyes, and says if any silicone fell on the floor, the floor would have to be stripped because silicone can’t be washed off.

    Though encased in a silicone shell (which bleeds chemicals), women often end up with this toxic cocktail of chemicals in their lymph nodes, surrounding tissue, and distant places – including vital organs. Even without the presence of rupture. Despite our immune system’s best efforts to protect us.

    Breast implants sit within close proximity to lungs.

    Dr Barnett says she could see the woman’s lungs moving. The ruptured implants caused respiratory issues so severe doctors wanted to remove part of her lung!

    There is NOTHING ‘safe’ about noxious, burning chemicals in a sticky goo that can only be cut out or scraped from the body – especially when it migrates beyond the scar capsules  into the chest wall, lymph nodes, organs and other places it can’t be removed from.

    There are too many ill women to pussyfoot around this issue any longer. There is a growing public health crisis. If you’re a doctor telling patients breast implants are safe, I say with the best of intentions: PLEASE WAKE UP! Doctors must begin to FULLY INFORM their patients about the risks associated with breast implants.

    I live in a remote community in Northwestern British Columbia, Canada. I became ill from badly ruptured silicone breast implants, and after learning of the number of women still being implanted in this region I felt compelled to speak up. As a result, my breastimplantfailure blog and celebrateyourbreasts project were borne. I was explanted in 2013 and am still on a healing journey.

      Thank you for sharing this’ I hope millions of women see this! According to the Mayo Clinic, changes in breast size or shape, pain, soreness or swelling, lumps, or softening or hardening, may be signs of a breast implant rupture. This may be true but not for me – I had no idea I had 2 ruptured implants. I have been sick  with Sjogrens, Fibromyalgia, Epstein Barr Virus, chronic fatigue , hypothyroid, vertigo and the list goes on. I was told my implants were good for life when I had them put in 26 years ago. I had mammograms every year… they did not show rupture. I finally had a MRI and it showed both ruptured. I explanted 4 months ago with a micro surgeon! I’m so happy to have the toxic silicone out of my body. The silicone bags had pin hole leaks in them and about 1/2 of each bag was gone / yes leaked into my body. I’m beyond elated about my recovery this far!! I have my life back! I can do more in one day then what I could do in 1 week before. I feel amazing!
