Foreign bodies within the body

[Erica P-G]

I just want to bring attention to the fact that anything 'foreign' placed within our bodies can create a huge potential for unsuspected inflammation.

This can be any type of plastics, silicone, metals, bones used for purposes of hormone therapies such as IUD's, surgeries, dental fillings and in particular for women the augmentation of breasts due to any type of illness or cosmetic decision.

In my research I have learned that the potential for foreign items placed within the human tissue should and can create a feeding ground for inflammation and in some cases the reaction occurs quickly and in others it can take a few months to years for the inflammation to reach a point that it interferes with our livelihood.

At that point symptoms begin, and autoimmune diagnosis start to take place and no one is wiser because who would think to consider something that didn't give an immediate reaction be something that could be contributing to all the current symptoms taking place.

My current situation has led me to these conclusions and I am finding it isn't just any one foreign thing our bodies react to, it can be many different types of foreign things such as environmental - herbicides, insecticides, chemicals and or things we subject ourselves to such as perhaps vaccines and the components they are made up from. I want to say that I believe in vaccines to a certain extent.

I'm finding many of the symptoms that I have read here over the last 4 years are being described by the thousands in a large Breast Implant Illness group I have been following for the last month. So this leads me to believe we all need to dissect what we may have done over the course of time and if anything I mention above could be a contributing factor to ending up with a diagnosis of Microscopic Colitis then perhaps giving that area some attention may give a clue as to why the body is throwing up inflammation red flags all the time and making us miserable and guessing why?

This post may only resonate with a small few, but if they are able to find what their body is sending out inflammation signals to and it is something that can be removed then perhaps healing can be swifter for those individuals. I am currently in the process of finding this out for myself :-)

I liked it better when I was a wee tot. You knew what you were getting. Everything was simple, pure and you could believe the ingredients they put in products were the real thing. If it was meat, you knew the meat was clean not toxic. Now I don't trust any manufacturer. I find it really sad and upsetting, but I am keeping a cool head and not going to get riled! What has happened to our country?

I'm learning based on all the comments on a different site that what we all are doing at this site mimic each other at so many levels it is shocking to me.

Detox, detox, detox and I feel everyone that has to change the way they eat, drink, sleep, lifestyle, and need for supplements and antihistamines are constantly detoxing their bodies and trying to keep inflammation stirred up by the immune system at a minimum. I feel lucky to have found this awesome forum and to have such pioneers in figuring out how to keep so many hideous symptoms from consuming so many. I definitely have a leg up by being a part of this huge family here :-)

Something in each of us is creating this perfect storm, for some it is a medicine (a chemical of some kind), for others it is something we have put into our bodies that wasn't there when we were born, and still others may have come in contact with it in bulk form from food, water, air (basically our surroundings but in Mega Dose). Perhaps a gene or two have gone off its course....I hope that is something that can be honed in on if that is a plausible cause.

I'm hoping for each one of us that we find what that circumstance is and we are able to minimize it or remove it from continually invading our way of life.

I've read numerous times from Tex that if we can find what we are reacting to that is causing the inflammation we have a good chance of healing and stopping this crazy cycle of inflammation. I only hope that after we have caused such distress to the lining of our intestines that those that are able to find their cause of inflammation are able to get back to a better way of life.

Only time will tell....here's to finding your cause of perpetual inflammation!
