Aside from the fact that this whole ordeal has been a nightmare for the lady involved, the discussion point here is the fact she is having to have the lymph nodes removed as a direct result of the PIP implants.
Lymph nodes help the body to flush out toxins
and are an important part of the human immune system. Having them removed leaves you open to risks of infection and lymphedema – a build up of fluid, according to the report. This will therefore cause potential problems in the future for this PIP victim, and for anyone else who finds themselves in the same situation.
Real Dangers of the Implants Finally Disclosed?
In other recent releases from the Daily Star, evidence as to the contents of the implants have apparently been finally disclosed.
The chemicals that have been found in the implants following scientific investigation, according to this report, include:
Acetone – used in superglue and nail polish remover
Xylene – used for paint thinners and sealants; which can be dangerous to the nervous system
Cyclohexane – found in car exhaust gases
Traces of insecticide carbon disulfide
Ethylbenzene – which used in the production of polystyrene, and is linked to asthma related problems
This list of seemingly dangerous toxins is adding more and more concern to this whole epidemic. The report goes on to say that some of the 68 compounds that have been found in the implants are so hazardous that there are already strict rules in place governing their use.
According to the expert advice, there may only be very small or trace amounts of these substances in the implants, but that doesn’t mean there is no cause for concern. Small amounts of the ingredients can still be very toxic. Government experts who studied this report, which allegedly dates back to 2010 and has only now been released following an apparent Daily Star battle to get the information out in the media, claim there is no risk of cancer or toxicity from the ingredients.
