Silicone implant disease affects 95 percent of all women who choose to augment their breast size by getting silicone breast implants. Symptoms can occur in as little as one to three months following implant surgery, or as long as 20 years later.

Note: Although manufacturers of silicone breast implants maintain that they are safe, holistic health practitioners reject that claim, having witnessed many women become ill as a direct result of receiving breast implants, only to recovery after the implants were removed and natural cures were employed to assist in the recovery process.

Silicone implant disease is considered an autoimmune condition, since the ruptured silicone that leaks into the body causes the immune system to attack itself. The resulting symptoms can vary widely, ranging from painful inflammation of the breasts and nipples, circulatory problems, arthritis, chronic pain and muscle stiffness, hair loss, chronic fatigue and weakness, shedding skin, swelling and congestion of the lymphatic system, liver problems, and significant, unhealthy weight loss. Some women may also develop granuloma, a type of tumor that can occur in both breast and lymph tissue.

Silicone breast implants themselves are the cause of this disease, which occurs when the implants rupture inside the breasts, spilling their contents into the body. Health experts estimate that 95 percent of all silicone implants will rupture or leak sometime after they are implanted.

There are natural cures for Silicone Implant Disease that do not involve the use of pharmaceutical drugs. The natural remedies that are used for the treatment of silicone implant disease focus on restoring the biochemical balance of the body, and making dietary and lifestyle changes designed to improve one's general health.
