Implanting bags of saline or silicone into women’s bodies, or breast implants as they’re know, are making a comeback despite a lack of credible scientific evidence to show their short- or long-term safety.
Further, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which declared a moratorium on breast implants in 1992, is now considering lifting all restrictions. These devices--largely a product of intense PR and media stereotypes--are becoming mainstream when surely they belong in the "Museum of Questionable Medical Devices in the U.S."

Some of the sickest women I have seen were suffering from a silicone-implant-induced immune dysfunction. Breast implants are clearly very dangerous, as studies have shown that nearly all of them invariably rupture or leak. Silicone from implants is a complex chemical that can have very significant and devastating consequences on the immune system.
Many women choose to have breast implants because they feel pressure from mainstream media to adhere to a particular body image, or they have a distorted image of their own body. If you are struggling with body image issues, EFT, a psychological acupressure technique, can help.
You can start with the free 25-page EFT manual for more information. However, most of the time women with this problem will require professional assistance. You can use Gary Craig's EFT Practitioner Referrals to find an EFT therapist who you can work with.
