Ilena, Please Post Thanks, MM-NSIF

Hi All, Here I go spouting off my ideas again because I want to "stir up" your thinking processes. From the e-mails I'm receiving there are a few journalists across our country wanting to know more about the Breast Implant Issues. I would like to offer some of the related issues I think we have all been subjected to, and there seems to be no end.

For many years now we have been caught up in the Circles of Hell, of Man's Inhumanity to Man! Although we have survived most of this, whe have been the recipients of Repeated Victimization by:

1 ) The Manufacturers of Breast Implants

2 ) Plastic Surgeons

3 ) Other Physicians

4 ) Selected Scientific(?) Research

5 ) The News Media - Lack of researching what they report

6 ) The FDA - All Departments

7 ) Our Illustrious Courts of Law

8 ) Attorneys Representing (?) Us

9 ) Tort Reform Aimed at Product Liability

10) Our Total Political System - Our Representatives Protecting Big Business

11) Prescription Drugs & Diagnostic Tests - Controlled by BI Manufacturers

12) Infiltrators Creating Havoc within the Victim / Survivors

13) Attorneys Keeping Our Mouths Taped

For me, it has been six years of going around on someone else's merry-go-round; and for others it's been longer -- going through all these same Circles of Hell, and getting nowhere! I would suggest that all of us develope a definite statement about all of the above referenced areas, and find a news media person to listen to you. We can ALL do this -- the public needs to see MANY FACES across the nation speaking on this issue -- not just a handful of us!!!

Most sincerely, Martha M. NSIF
