PIP IMPLANTS? - REPORT YOURS!

If you haven,t already completed an Incident Report for the MHRA about your PIP implants now is the time to do so! Anytime between now and the 18 September 2012 would be best. This is currently the only way to make a report for the record and to show British Authorities how much and how many of us have been affected by fraudulent PIP implants. Get your serial numbers out and report away ... do this for you and for all those who have been affected. ♥ Make your Incident Report Here: http://www.mhra.gov.uk/Safetyinformation/Reportingsafetyproblems/Devices/index.htm

What Happens Now?

We recognise that as women are recovering, many are preparing to put this terrible scandal behind them and focus on the things that matter to them now that they feel better.


Work, family, friends may have had to take a back-seat for a while when we were undergoing surgery or in recovery. Now we are starting to feel better, it,s time to find the balance that suits us and our familes.

PIP free, is where we all aim to be in time - back to our happy selves - closing one of the most significant and traumatic chapters in our lives.

It,s really important that you stay in contact tho! Or at least make sure we have a way of reaching you.  We dont think all our health problems caused by PIP implants will be resolved through removal and now we know breast implants have limited life spans and future care and treatment is inevitable for most of us.  We dont believe the whole story has been unravelled yet so there may be a need to get in touch again, a little way down the line.

The most important reason for checking in from time to time is in support of the women who may still be waiting for treatment, or facing complications. Because we all know how hard that is.

Anxious Times for all women affected by PIP implants 

This data comes from a short survey involving 66 women with PIP Implants in Britain after the Expert Group Final Report published in June 2012.

TOXIC PIP IMPLANTS

"Analyses of the silicone contained in PIP breast implants indicates that the material does not pose a long-term risk to human health," explained Susanne Ludgate, clinical director of MHRA. "None of the chemicals listed will cause harm at the levels found within PIP breast implants and many are used routinely in various consumer products." 21 August 2012

It is true that a few shampoos do contain octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) but they are environmental toxins mostly found in industrial waste and slurry!

The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety SCCS published an opinion 22 June 2010 on

octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (Cyclotetrasiloxane D4) and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5)

"The SCCS is of the opinion that cyclomethicone (D4, D5) does not pose a risk for human health when used in cosmetic products. Other uses were not considered in this risk assessment." and "noted that D4 is classified as a reprotoxic substance, category 3 [ECB 2006]."

Who knew?

The French Regulator Afssaps knew and informed international regulators. It's why French women are having TOXIC PIP implants removed. The TGA the Australian Medical Devices regulator also knew.

Who else?

The European Parliament : Adopted texts published 4 days before Keogh's Expert Group Final Report...

"Calls on the Commission to require adequate toxicological assessments of all medical devices, and to propose that the use of substances that are carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction (category 1A or 1B) be phased out, unless no substitutes are available;"

The British Government will continue to poison us ...

octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4)

We have been extremely busy pushing the DoH to acknowledge the failings of Expert Group Report which has been impacting on our care and treatment since 18 June 2012.

Our submission is freely available to consult on our webpage. 

While we are waiting for NHS to return from their holidays to address our concerns, we made contact with the Director of Consumer Affairs and Public Health at the European Commission to urgently press for clarification on issues relating to one specific chemical found in PIP implants octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) which is classified as TOXIC.

As a result of our concerns the MHRA have found themselves under close scrutiny and we see the MHRA actively modifying documents, advice and information on their website.  While we regard aspects of this positively, because additional data is now being made available to women affected by PIP implants, we are not convinced that MHRA is working in best interests of those affected.  We suspect they are actively working to conceal their failures.

PIP HEALTH SURVEY

We know toxic PIP implants are making us sick! 

So we put a HEALTH SURVEY on our web page. 

THANKS VERY MUCH IF YOU FILLED IT IN!

Within 12 hours we managed to collect data from 44 women affected by fraudulent PIP Implants and submit the results together with our evidence to the Department of Health.

Our submission is available to consult at our website.
