Note from Ilena: When Dirty Doctor Dean Edell's website, Health
Central posted yesterday the article I captured below, I was dancing!

Perhaps his years and years and years of spouting the Quack / Junk
Science propaganda about breast implants was over! I recall him even
declaring he hoped none of the women would get a cent from the
settlements. (He was close!)

Well ... it seems Censorship Reigns and they have removed the article
(couldn't find it on any search on their website) and substituted an
article on Norovirus in it's place.

This is what their Google News listing still shows:

Silicone Implants Linked to High Platinum Levels in Women: Study

Silicone Implants Linked to High Platinum Levels in Women: Study

http://www.healthcentral.com/Printe...08/1508061.html

High and potentially dangerous levels of the metal platinum were found
in the bodies of women who'd had silicone gel breast implants for many
years, according to research published this week in the journal
Analytical Chemistry, published by the American Chemical Society.

The findings were released just as the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration appears poised to allow silicone implants back on the
market, the Washington Post reported.

Platinum is used in the implants as a catalyst to transform the
silicone into a gel-like form.

The study found high levels of platinum salts in the hair, urine and
breast milk of 16 women who'd had silicone gel implants for an average
of 14 years. The researchers concluded that the platinum in the
women's bodies was in a form that made it a potential source of toxic
or severe allergic reactions.

The FDA is "carefully reviewing the article, and we don't know how
long that will take," spokeswoman Susan Cruzan told the Post.

Last year, the agency deemed two applications to sell silicone gel
implants to be "approvable," but the FDA has not yet given final
approval to those applications.

"This is the first time the research has found platinum in this
possibly harmful form in implanted women," Marlene Keeling, president
of Chemically Associated Neurological Disorders, told the Post. The
Houston nonprofit group helped fund the research, and Keeling has
filed a citizen's petition with the FDA requesting that the two
applications be delayed until further research is conducted into the
platinum issue.

Good... you can dance. Too bad you can't read and interpret medical studies
yet pretend to.
