they call it breast implant illness.ught, i am dying, really dying, there is something in italy horrible but nobody would listen to me. but it is still a mystery. no one can agree what is causing it. some women are convinced it is there implants but ask most surgeons. there is no proven breast implant illness. i have to say it is in your head, not in your breast. breast implant illness has turned into a rout that is dividing medical professionals around the world. what might prove to be need? many say the uk is lagging massively behind other countries, leaving some women taking huge risks just to try and feeling normal again. i'm really nervous, to be honest. a bit emotional. this is before you had your surgery, it doesn't look like you had much to worry about. no, visit what you are not seeing as the toilet tissue! underneath, sipping the bra. we have come to meet beth who had breast implants put in when she was 23. i was never bothered about size, i was a b cup but the shape of them, i felt was always weird. the undern

there aren't people walking around with hipjoint associated illness, knee joint associated illness.actly what it is that is associated with breast implants that can cause the illness. as for beth, she is now in so much pain she's not sure how much longer she deal with it. just checking in and reporting a tricky day. just so much pain. oh, my god... ijust wanted to curl up in a ball. i still want to curl up in a ball, and i'm going to in a minute. burning sensation in my hip and back, and... general fatigue and joints aching and a cracking, stonking headache as well. so i'm hoping today is going to be... today? tomorrow is going to be a better one. we'll see. we'll see — hope so. i don't think i can take too many more like this. anyway, i'm going to sign off now. nighty night, bye—bye. something beth's considering is having her implants taken out. but could that help her? we are here to meet melina. she's already had her breast implants removed — or explanted, as it's also known. we're going to find out how she's getting on. hello! hi! explanting is a risk. it involves going back in

in your case you were 35 when you became ill. and your father developed cancer when he was around 50. percent of cases occurred well before the average age for the onset of age related to colorectal cancer. are smokers are sort. of for i have 2 children which is why i'm here i want to know whether they might have a genetic predisposition and at what point it would make sense to have them checked . if that doesn't happen until they're 35 like i was then it will be too late. by then the horse is already bolted i'd like to ask what age would be advisable 15202521 i just want to minimize the risk for my family. if we can are so tame this patients predisposition with 100 percent certainty from a genetic test then it's very likely that she will have inherited it from her father. and as i mentioned earlier there will be a 50 percent chance in each case of her having passed it on to her daughters but it could be that both have inherited it or neither have or one has and the other hasn't. capital melanie had to formally sign an agreement

and if i don't have a specific query on a specific illness. and i then find ambiguous results in some genes that might lead to something then i'm just creating insecurity. every individual has genetic variants that can make them ill and in most cases they only find out once they do become ill cat one was 35 when she felt a lump in her breast tests revealed she had cancer. again i don't often hear phrases like a high risk patient and its growth is aggressive and i've had a pretty healthy lifestyle i didn't smoke and still don't these are all factors that indicate that the illness could be genetic if i get it without this test i very probably would have developed a new chuma and might not be here today. that hard to go. as a death and sometimes when i'm having a bad day i remind myself i'm still alive thanks to modern medicine. patton grew up in lights inc after graduating from college she spent some time in britain she was living in berlin when she became seriously ill she had the gene test done during her chemotherapy catlin has the b.r.c.a. o

we have to change how we approach mental illness. we need to change how our leaders approach mental illness. more resources in health care in this country. then we can start tackling these issues. it takes a whole different approach. my wife april does a whole lot of work in this issue. she is one of the leading nonprofit leaders in this country dealing with the effect that media and technology companies have on children. media literacy, the targeting that technology companies does on our kids. the effect that it is having on young people, which is devastating, by the way. the anxiety and depression it is creating. crisis in this country. i am really familiar with this through the great work that april has done. moreed to reimbursements, parity in the system. we need to talk about it differently, act differently, get rid of the stigma, pass some laws around privacy and digital targeting, deal with privacy issues in schools. there is a whole portfolio of issues. but it all starts with acknowledging how big this problem is, acknowledgi

my father became ill and had five bypasses at his heart. it is now recognized by the va as being caused by dioxide exposure. he was denied, my father was off work and people would bring us. i'm going a little quicker even though his activism was gaining a lot of strength, unfortunately, my father moved away at age 50. he first developed a heart disease at 38, he had five bypasses and the age 40 develop diabetes. at age 48 hit a stroke at i-50 he died of a massive heart attack. we bury our mistakes. i became an activist because it was a gap. we have to fight for ourself. and 2011, i went to vietnam for the first time we met this boy, i first saw a photograph of him and i said where is he? this is the truth of agent orange. this is a humanitarian problem, not at the side, that side problem. this is human. these are humans, we are humans. we have not gone away, and we have not disappeared with the sands of time. we are still doing this every single day. and 2012, i developed a nonprofit with the help of friends to help those of us who are chil

illness. it starts with this notion of parody and what i mean by that is, the mental health care in this country is not on equal footing with physical health care. i'll give you an example. mental health claims are four times more likely to get denied than physical health claims. reimbursements to mental health providers are significantly less than reimbursements to physical health providers, which creates an incentive for people to go in the physical health care business and not in the mental health care business, right. so we got to create parody. the second thing we have to do, we have to stop stigmatizing it. i think a president can do that. i mean no one should be ashamed of a mental illness like no one should be ashamed of a physical condition. yet, we allow that to exist in our society. which prevents people from stepping forward and saying they have a mental illness. it creates a situation where family members are embarrassed to say that someone in their family has a mental illness. if

illness will take their lives and that is the point about the clinical trial.t about the clinical trial. yes, it is just a trial and it is early days but it does offer that glimmer of hope and it is designed to run for years so we intend to follow it as it progresses and bring you the results here on bbc news. dominic hughes with exclusive report. the number of cases being looked into by an independent inquiry into maternity care at shrewsbury and telford hospital trust has risen to 900. they include deaths, serious injuries and where families have concerns about care they received. some date back a0 years. the duchess of sussex is facing the prospect of seeing her estranged father, thomas markle, testifying against her at the high court. the case has been brought by meghan against the mail on sunday for publishing a letter she'd written to mr markle. meghan‘s half sister samantha told bbc news that their father would give evidence in the paper's defence if he was asked as our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. markle versus markle. as if the events

the majority of people who commit these crimes are not people who have sort of illnesses are not people who maybe they're left in 2 parts of the population on have actually you know committed these crimes who have who are mentally ill so utilizing that as the truth to scare people it actually hurts people who are who are going to get another majority of mentally ill people and scaring well i don't know how to get any type of violence against anyone else i think that there is a problem in that type of analogy when i'm saying when someone has a 2nd amendment right our constitution has worked well because it has protections for we the people against the government and against enforcement and against tyranny and in for example let's go parkland parklane the kid in parklane read the book on his background he was repeatedly problematic in school deeply disturbed whether he was diagnosed as mental health or not that's a different problem and he wasn't kicked out of school he wasn't reprimand he wasn't treated look we have a problem whether it's mental health diagnosis my point is regular citiz

people dealing with chronic illnesses need guidance and support and so do their family members. our system should reward clinicians who invest in time and connection with patients and their families. our current system does not and that is a major problem. at its most fundamental level, our proposal is about merging caregivers and health plans to on more resources into time primary care and behavioral health services. massachusetts always was a nation -- has always led the nation on health care. we should do it again.

may not want to report the fact that they are ill.s it very, very difficult. because i think the most effective measure we can employ at this point is to prom ptly can employ at this point is to promptly identify cases and isolate them, so they can't affect others. china, of course, is a huge country with its own experts. do you think, in terms of the chinese cases, it can deal with this on its own, or should it be asking for the help of outside experts? said this is a global situation at this point. i think it is critical there is international collaboration, and i think to a fair amount there has been. i think all of us are looking at the situation and piecing together not only what is going on in china but what is happening in the exported cases in other countries. and together we put that information out there and analysed it in order to get a more complete picture of this virus, the level of illness it is causing, how it may be transmitted. so i think that it is not a matter of whether or not china has sufficient expertise, but i

so the illnesses that correlate with being fat are the same illnesses that correlate with other forms of social oppression. they're the same illnesses that correlate with racism, with lower social class. they're the same illnesses that correlate with any form of being ostracized in one's community because we are social animals. we need human interaction. we need to feel loved and belonging and so there is, if you take a look at health at every size for instance, it's a movement of medical professionals, nutrition professionals that are trying to look at what are the other factors that influence. because whether or not you choose to eat the bacon or the doughnut, that for most people is like 5 to 15 percent of how your health is actually affected and influenced. the rest iseither genetic or environmental, including oppression . so these are some of the things to talk about but i realize even though this book is about 15 different kinds of intersectional oppression, fat is the one that people come back to again and again. i mean, i'm not trying to say you did it too but it's really on o
