    STEP 2: Antifungals... How to Treat Biotoxin Illness with Natural Antifungals

    STEP 2: Using Antifungals to Treat Breast Implant Related Illness By Dawn Strohm Another very important step in treating Biotoxin Illness from Breast Implants is the use of Antifungals. Antifungals can be very effective in treating biotoxins but it MUST be done in conjunctions with following the Kaufmann I, low mycotoxin diet. Fungal metabolites are difficult to treat because at a cellular level they are almost identical to our cells. The diet is always first in your protocol

    Did You Know???

    Did You Know? by Rita Giorgio-Masson November 12, 2017 · Did you know? Breast Implants are incased in a silicone shell. When implanted, the chemicals from that implant begin to leach in a warm body of only 98.6 degrees. GET THIS! When the body becomes heated above 98.6 , the silicone shell further releases a compelling amount of toxic chemicals throughout your body. If you have Breast Implants and you exercise into a sweat, soak in a hot bath, go into a sauna, or sunbathe, yo

    How Poisonous Mycotoxins From Fungi Affect Your Hormones and Emotions!

    Now that you know the very real possibility that you have been mold compromised by your implants let's discuss how the mold poisons called mycotoxins can affect your hormones. Mycotoxins are very estrogenic compounds produced by toxigenic molds. As you already know from other articles these mycotoxin poisons can affect you physically in many ways, but they also can affect you mentally, emotionally and psychologically because they alter the balance of your hormones.

    Dear Pharmacist, Do you agree with Angelina Jolie’s decision to remove her breasts to prevent cancer? –S.I., Atlanta, Georgia Answer: When I heard about her double mastectomy, my heart sank for her because I’m sure she was paralyzed by fear. After all, nobody wants to hear the “C” word leave their doctor’s lips. Her decision was based on the doctors she trusts but I disagree with it.She’s supposedly removing her ovaries next.

    Breast Implants May Increase Cancer Risk

    Hundreds of thousands of women voluntarily opt for breast augmentation surgery. There are many reasons for that, and certainly women perceive the size and shape of their breasts to be a vital component of their femininity. Whether it’s for breast cancer reconstruction, or because you seek the “perfect” body, the addition of something foreign into your body will impact your immune system. For sure, our society is a little obsessed with bust size. I wonder if most women would o

    Can Breast Implants Make You Sick??

    To read this article click the link below: Breast Implants are a foreign material to the body and cause physical illness for many women. I know, as I was one of those women who became very ill from my implants. Both silicone and saline implants contain over 40 toxic elements that can cause illness. In addition, studies have shown that silicone is not inert. Silicone attracts fungi to it and thus provides the potential for fungi to proliferate systemically throughout the body.

    Breast Implants.. An Optical Illusion

    Optical illusions prove that things are not always what they seem. The more often we hear a statement, the more likely we are to believe it is true. The idea that we’re not blind to the truth is heartening. Humans are perfectly capable of ‘ critical thinking’ , and can use logical capabilities to guard against the effects of misinformation. But in an age characterized by ‘science’ , there’s no room to be lazy about questioning the facts. Is TRUTH as something that can only be

Today, we read that yet another in the hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of research papers, that all point to genetic “variations,” as contributing to disease. This one says, “Newfound gene linked to amyloid beta plaque buildup in Alzheimer’s disease. It saddens me that our doctors and researchers see the effect and believe it is the cause!

    High Strontium Levels in Breast Implant Illness

    Almost 80% of the time when I open up an email with test results from TEI Labs on women with BII I find VERY high Strontium levels. Levels many times 3 and 4 times what is considered safe in the human body. What does Strontium do to the body? Simply put it causes a build up of unbound calcium. In other words calcium is too high, but does not absorb. Just recently I tested a lady with seven times the amount of calcium that is considered safe. Calcium left unchecked at high lev

    I would like to take the time to address probiotics.

I am not a sales rep for any supplement company. I just try to find the best research and knowledge there is to help our patients.

    Vitamin D

    Low Vitamin D is a sign of an underlying problem that needs to be corrected. Getting to the root of that issue is wise. I do not ever recommend taking a D3 supplement. D3 is not actually a vitamin, but rather a hormone and the supplements are synthetic meaning the body does not see the D3 as bio-identical. Why is this a problem? Because synthetic hormone D3 will severely deplete your magnesium levels. This is the last thing you want to do when you have mineral imbalances from

    I have been talking to Doug Kaufmann about a Lyme diagnosis in those with breast implants. We have been following breast implant illness for 3 years now and a much higher average of women with implants are being diagnosed with Lyme. Recently I put a post up of a segment of the show where Doug presents the strong correlation between symptoms of Lyme and mold. To put it mildly they are almost identical!

    Hair Mineral Testing vs. Blood or Urine

    I am going to answer this question in detail because it is an important one. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency can answer this partially. They say that they consider the Hair Mineral Tissue Analysis to be superior to testing blood and urine for toxic exposure. HMTA shows exposure to heavy metals dating back over time while the aforementioned blood tests only shows recent exposure. Essentially the difference between the urine and blood test and the HMTA is HUGE! The HMT
