  Why women are 'bullied into choosing cosmetic surgery'

Note from Ilena Rosenthal: Breast implants are big business
...putting them in, taking them out, putting them in again ... until
final explantation (usually costing much more than the original
surgery.) (thanks Debbee for the heads up)

Irresponsible cosmetic surgery clinics are today accused of putting
sales before safety.

At some centres, unqualified staff pressurised women into having
operations and made misleading claims about procedures, the consumer
group Which? says.

In one case, a sales assistant even bared her own augmented breasts to
an undercover researcher to persuade her to have surgery.

The former Consumers' Association's investigation of 19 clinics in
England and Wales found evidence that misleading claims were used to
get patients to buy cosmetic procedures ranging from breast implants
to facelifts.

Myrl Jeffcoat brings to the attention of the Usenet Community that
Stephen Barrett's so called "National Council Against Health Fraud"
has been probably illegally soliciting donations since the State of
California suspended it's state licensure in May 2003.

This has NOT stopped Barrett via his other quacky operations from
"begging for donations" (to use their own words) with no apparent
legal entity to do so from.

After Barrett lost to King Bio and another Botanical company which led
to over $100K in judgements against NCAHF ... they failed to comply
with State laws and got suspended ... yet never stopped their donation
solicitation. The State of Massachusetts where they fled apparently,
is investigating their operation now.

Barrett and Wallace Sampson were called "biased and unworthy of
credibility" in this legal debacle for them.
