5150PLB1 -- I agree. I think the jury's still out on the silicone breast implants, there is some evidence that the brouhaha may have been an attempt to separate a large corporation from a big chunk of money. But there are some women who swear that they were harmed by them. To simply inject this substance into something as crucial one's feet does not sound like a good idea. It seems like the force of one's weight alone would cause it to migrate through the body and the results of that cannot be good.

Jo, on the silicon/silicone theme, you are correct. Silicon is an element and is quite abundant here on planet Earth. Beach sand is mostly silicon dioxide, in an amorphous form this substance becomes window glass. As I am certain you already know, very highly purified silicon is used to manufacture the electronic micro-chips that make our computers work.

Silicones are a class of compounds that mimic organic chemicals, except silicon is substituted for carbon. Silicones are available in the form of oils, gels and rubber. Silicones are generally biologically inert -- meaning they don't rot, are impervious to fungal or bacterial attack and do not enter into biological processes. Theoretically they would be inert inside the body -- but we still have all those breast implant lawsuits.
