Who is Sybil Niden Goldrich?

Sybil Niden Goldrich has been one of the leading consumer advocates involved in the fight for women’s health as it relates to breast implants. Her leadership on this issue began in 1987 when, as a cancer patient having massive difficulties with implants for reconstruction after bi-lateral mastectomy, she uncovered the fact that breast implants had never been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Her article on the subject, “Restoration Drama,” was published in Ms. magazine in June 1988.

She is the co-founder of Command Trust Network, an information clearing house for women to provide facts that were difficult and often impossible to get elsewhere about breast implants and silicone. She has actively worked to educate the press so that correct information about implants and related problems would be disseminated. She has also worked closely with Congressman Ted Weiss who, before his death, chaired the House Subcommittee with oversight of the FDA. Since then, fshe has testified countless times before various House committees, Senate committees, the FDA, and the California State Legislature. Sybil writes for Beauty and the Breast, a blog she shares with actress Mary Elizabeth McDonough about breast implants.
