The voice of silence: when science is the enemy.

Atualizado: 1 de out. de 2020


The book: "The voice of silence: when science is the enemy. The Breast Implant Illness story." is available for sale on amazon.com. In the book, I talk about my participation in the saga of this disease. I address all the victories and difficulties we had during our study regarding silicone implants, from the initial denial of our findings by the Academy until the FDA's disease confirmation. I described my relationship with women silenced by science about problems related to implants. I illustrate that we cannot give up our battles and our convictions. I approach the contradiction and its importance in social construction. In this space, I provide some photos and links present in each chapter of the book. Available at amazon.com
