With cosmetic enhancements becoming the norm rather than the exception, it is discombobulating to discover that many of these procedures are a disaster for our health in the long run.
The problem is that breast implants, botox injections, restylane etc. are performed these days at a very young age, and they are filled with harmful chemicals and neurotoxic substances.
Many kids in highschool think, it is just as acceptable to get a boob job as it is to ask for a car for their birthday. And then there are those of us, who paid for our own car back in the day. Yeah I still can't believe no-one wrapped a Maserati under the Christmas tree, but hey rough life buttercup.
Anyway, we are only now starting to see the tip of the iceberg of how these procedures play out after a decade - and the news is not good. It is very, very bad.
An alarm has rung as we have seen a sharp nearly 60% increase in breast cancer related to breast implants over the last year.
Silicone is not static and it does leak in time. Silicone is carcinogenic and unfortunately quite a few of the victims of breast cancer due to implants, have been previous breast cancer patients who had their breast removed only to have it filled with a carcinogenic substance. It is quite frankly unbelievably that no one has logically thought "hey, maybe injecting chemicals into a cancer vulnerable site might not be the best idea". But yeah, that happened.
So let's look at what it is inside a silicone implant that is toxic to the human body:
Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Cyclobexanone, Isopropyl Alcohol, Denatured Alcohol, Acetone, Urethane, Poly Vinyl Chloride, Lacquer Thinner, Ethyl Acetate, Epoxy Resin, Epoxy Hardener, Amine, Printing Ink, Toluene, Freon, Silica, Flux, Solder, Chlorplantinic Acid, Metal Cleaning Acid, Formaldehyde, Talcum Powder, Chlorplatinic Acid, Metal Cleaning Acid, Formaldehyde, Talcum Powder, Color Pigment Printers Ink, Oakite, Cyanoacyrylates, Ethylene Oxide, Carob Black, Xylene, Hexone, Benzene, Hexanone, Thixon-OSN-2, Rubber, Acid Stearic, Zinc Oxide, Naptha, Phenol, Methylene Chloride, Platinum Salts, Platinum
The majority of these are things I test for here.
And let's just end this with summing up all the studies that have been done showing toxic effects of silicone implants:
