Silicone Breast: What are the Dangers of Breast Silicone Implants Use
January 7th, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized | Comments OffBreast silicone implants are not harmless to your body. In their composition there are some chemicals which cause some health problems, for example, silicone immune toxicity syndrome. Silicone filled implants are composed mostly of silicon (it is mined from the earth as silica, which composition includes 45% of silicon), and silicon is considered to be the reason of changes in the immune system. Actually, if you have a silicone breast, you should know that silicone slowly leaks through the shell of the silicone implant and the capsule, surrounding it. The cells of our immune system (microphages, which actually cleanse our immune system) pick up this silicone and travel all over our body, while silicone is disintegrated into silica and silicone inside microphages. The deregulation of the immune system is the consequence of silica and silicon getting into the body. It results in an autoimmune disease, the cause of which is the production of antibodies and protein complex against silica and silicon.
The other danger of breast silicone implants is that they also include some chemicals, which are harmful to the body. Here is a list of the chemicals, used in silicone filled implants: Amine, Eatmen 910 Glue, Toluene, Urethane, Denatured and Isopropyl Alcohol, Hexane and Hexanone 2, Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Ethyl Acetate, Epoxy Resin, Phenol Benzene-Known carcinogen, Flux Metal, Freon , Silicone, Lofol (formaldehyde), Cyclohexane, Naphtha (rubber solvent), Flux Metal, cleaning acid, Lacquer thinner, Color Pigments as release agents Oakite (a cleaning solvent), Ethylene Oxide (ETO), Carbob black, Antioxidant (rubber), Zinc Oxide, Xylene, Carbob black, Printing ink, and Talcum Powder.
Among other chemicals are Methylene Chloride/Dichloromethane, which disintegrates in the body and doesn’t let the blood carry oxygen. The central nervous system depression results from poisoning with carbon monoxide (which is the product of Methylene Chloride/Dichloromethane’s metabolism). In Edwards Lab Polyvinyl Chloride or Liquid vinil was used as a component of all medical devices.
