Subj: For woman who have the polyurethane-coated Silicone Implants.
Test for: 2,4Toluene Diamine and 2,6Toluene Diiosocyanate. AKA TDA & TDI
We present the following for your information, this is not intended as
medical advice:TDA & TDI BLOOD & URINE TESTING:
NATIONAL MEDICAL SERVICES,WLLOWGROVE PA. RUNS BOTH...
The TDA 2,4 & 2,6 SERUM TEST WAS CREATED IN MARCH 1993. (Urine created ?)
THESE TESTS ARE FOR "CHEMICAL LEVELS OF BOTH TOXINS'', NOT ANTIBODY TESTS.
For out of state call: Nat. Med. at 800-522-6671. The test number for
either serum or urine is #4508. The doctor "MUST" specify chosen test, or
both.
The cost is $93.00 each. He must submit 2ml of blood serum or plasma in a
grey or purple tube. Re: Urine, 20ml that is frozen & light protected,
with 5drops of concentrated HCL. Anyone having these tests should have
their lab or physician contact client services at Nat. Med., Pa. for exact
specimen requirements. IMPORTANT: These tests are usually sent
through another lab. If the specimens are sent direct to Nat. Med., they
"DO NOT" indicate on the report that positive findings of either "may be
a result of breakdown of polyurethane implants" One lab that
frequently uses the services of Nat. Medical Serv. is "Lab Corp"
(previously called National Health Laboratories) Locations across the
country.
You can call 800-788-9091 or your local "Lab Corp".
The test numbers used by Lab Corp for TDA & TDI are as follows:
URINE: #08657-0 & SERUM:#08710-9 Lab Corp will forward either specimen
to National Medical, (your DR may wish toindicate Nat.Meds. test #4508
also on the requisition form. The reason we preferLab Corp is on either
the urine or serum test, the final report specifies: "A Positive finding
indicates exposure to 2,6-Toluene diisocyante or 2,4 &2,6-Toluenediamine;
or a positive finding may be a breakdown of PolyurethaneImplants. The
urine test specifies "pos. findings may indicate a"Disintegrated Breast
Implant". Also, most private physicians have accounts with the Lab Corp.
chain, so a client would not need to submit pre-payment. I hope this
information ishelpful to you. Pass it on.. I must tell you that although
we know these chemicals are stored in the fat, muscle, & organs etc., If a
women has been ex-planted she might want to have the URINE test first as
it may not alwaysshow in the blood. (also it may not show in the urine
either) "which doesn'tmean its not there"... You must find out should
the urine specimen be "mid-stream" as is usually required when they test
for kidney, Uti infections etc.
National Medical Services specializes in Chemical testing. They have
Greatcredentials" est aprox 40 years. They also perform corp. drug
testing, chainof evidence, forensic, etc. Their directory of Services can
be requested byyour Doctor. Confirmed: Private lab, "not owned by any of
the SBI manufacturers or
CMA's"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
