Prolene Stitches

Prolene "dissolvable" stitches don't dissolve and Prolene permanent stitches are not permanent! PLASTIC IS A FOREIGN OBJECT. In 2007 a Prolene permanent suture was tied across my pelvic floor during a hysterectomy.

In the past fourteen months I have removed over 2,000 small, almost microscopic, colored plastic fibers from my scalp. These tiny fragments are turquoise blue, dark blue, and red. Some colorless fibers are sometimes intertwined with the color fibers. The turquoise blue fibers are the exact same color as the Prolene Permanent suture made by Ethicon, a subsidiary of Johnson and Johnson.

I think the dark blue and red fibers are woven inside the turquoise fibers, giving the suture its distinctive "glowy" look. The Prolene mesh has three layers, maybe the suture does also, but the suture looks turquoise, and so do most of the fibers coming out of my scalp. Six months after surgery I started to feel pain in the pelvic area. The Doctor did an exam and said everything seemed OK. I thought that losing weight would help to take pressure off the area. I started exercising hard, drinking lots of fluids, and eating less. I lost 24 pounds over the next six months. A sore came up on my shoulder, it was cancer! It felt like something coming out of my skin, but the Doctor cut it out even though it was healing! Then some bumps appeared on my scalp and the first ones had sand-like granules under the skin. I later found out that these hard particles may have been granules of bone marrow sent out by the lymph system. After that, raised sores have come up continuously on my scalp, usually totaling five to ten at all times. Once, in the beginning, my entire part line was raised and painful. It slowly opened up, sore after sore, to release plastic fibers, and then it healed up perfectly.

Many of the sores have completely healed, and some are on-going, but none have become infected. I saturate my head with oil every day and night, usually Baby Oil because it doesn't sting my eyes. I cut my hair very short and stay home a lot. My clothes and bedding are always oily and the whole process is painful and isolating. But at least I know what is happening to me, and that I am getting healthier each time a fiber comes out. I comb my hair with a sharp fine-toothed comb and debride the scabs, which is easier to do when they are soaked in oil. Embedded in the scabs, or under them, are the colored fibers, which catch in the comb. I use a needle and magnifier to transfer the fibers to containers. I have kept all the fibers so I can prove they came from the Prolene suture. I believe that the Morgellon syndrome is plastic sutures being ejected from the body by the lymph system through the skin.

Why is it so difficult to identify the plastic fibers that are coming out of thousands of people? Perhaps because Johnson and Johnson would not want people to know that their so-called permanent sutures and meshes can be broken down by the lymph system and moved around the body. Doctors tell Morgellon sufferers that they are crazy. Research goes nowhere. Is this a cover-up? Did Morgellon's begin, and cancer increase, with the use of plastic sutures? What ever happened to cat gut? A Doctor told me "there is no known substance that can break down the Prolene stitch". But the ocean water can break down any plastic, and there's a swirl of plastic fragments that is the size of Texas out in the middle of the ocean, to prove it. The saline content in our bodies is similar to ocean water.

My goal is for Morgellon sufferers to understand what is happening to them, so they can help the lymph system by exercising and drinking fluids.

My other goal is to expose the dangers of plastic sutures and to see the return of animal-based sutures that will truly dissolve. And to show that plastic is not permanent, nor does it dissolve.

Update, 2016... I had plastic coming out of sores on my scalp until 2014 when my head healed up. Then the plastic came out of sores on my arms, and also from any small injury I got that broke the skin.
