Extractions: Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder is an autoimmune process with symptoms of Scleroderma, Myositis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus , Rheumatoid Arthritis and/or other autoimmune diseases. It is a description of a group of symptoms occurring together. This is different from a diagnosis that describes the underlying process. It is a disorder of the immune system, which normally functions to protect the body against invading infections and cancers, and toxins. In Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder, as in other autoimmune diseases parts of the complex immune system is over-active and produces increased amounts of abnormal antibodies that attack the patient's own organs. Sometimes MCTD is called Overlap Syndrome or Undifferentiated Mix Connective Tissue Disorder. Some writers discriminate between them claiming that each of these are different. Some argue MCTD is not a distinct entity at all, and is just one of the forms of Lupus or Scleroderma. MCTD can affect many parts of the body, including the joints, skin, kidneys, lungs, heart, endocrine, digestive, and nervous system, blood vessels which all are made up of connective tissue. There are reports of psychiatric disturbances similar to those found in Lupus. The signs and symptoms of MCTD differ from person to person, with the symptoms of either Lupus, or Scleroderma, or Myositis or other autoimmune disease being most prevalent. Since its manifestations can vary it is often misdiagnosed. The disease can range from mild to life threatening. It can be mild for many years, and then after about 20 years of having the disease a medical crisis may occur. The lungs and kidneys are particularly at risk. Lungs and kidneys symptoms are particularly serious involvement and should be monitored vigilantly by both the doctor and the patient.

For the past several years, there have been many reports in the media about women with breast implants who have autoimmune disease or breast cancer. Also during this time, many respected medical professionals and institutions have conducted scientific studies about the safety of breast implants. Mentor is pleased to be able to provide the public with up-to-date information about this important issue.
Extractions: If an individual has skeletal symptoms such as joint pain and a positive but nonspecific lab test, she or he may be diagnosed with the confusing name of early or "undifferentiated" connective tissue disease. In this case, a physician may want the patient to return frequently for follow up. The early phase of disease may be a very frustrating time for both the patient and physician. On the other hand, symptoms may be short-lived, and inconclusive laboratory tests may amount to nothing of a serious nature. In some cases, a specific diagnosis can be made. A diagnosis shortly after onset of a patient's symptoms will allow for early aggressive medical therapy; and for some diseases, patients will respond completely to treatments if the reason for their symptoms is discovered early in the course of their disease.

Extractions: Breast Implants: An Informational Update http://www.fda.gov/oca/breastimplants/bitac.html Institute of Medicine Does Not Find A Link Between Silicone Breast Implants and Disease: The Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Science, at the request of Congress, conducted a review of all evidence and research concerning silicone breast implants and determined there is no link between implants and disease. The 17 page summary report called Information for Women About the Safety of Silicone Breast Implants makes a good starting point, since it was designed for a non-technical audience. You can find it at http://www.nap.edu/books/0309065933/html/ If, after reading the 17 page version, you want more in the way of technical details, then you should read the full report. The 455 page report is an excellent, albeit technical, read concerning the history of breast implants and the studies concerning their safety. The study did not discount the risks of breast implants that are proven, such as capsular contracture, infection, etc. but found no evidence to connect implants to breast cancer and autoimmune type diseases which were the subject of litigation against implant manufacturers.

Research has shown that low-calorie vegetarian diets relieve the symptoms of a broad range of autoimmune diseases. This kind of diet can improve health and longevity in general. Many autoimmune disorders attack connective tissue. The rate of connective tissue regeneration can be affected by supplementing a variety of cartilage-like substances: Refer to the work of David Trentham, M.D., a Harvard Researcher on using type II collagen to reduce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Refer to the work of Rachel E. Caspi Ph.D., an immunologist at the National Eye Institute - using collagen therapy for a variety of autoimmune diseases.
