Daily Roots Guide: Metal Implants

In the news, new recalls from widely used metal implants common in hip and other orthopedical surgeries.  New findings suggest these implants may seriously affect your health and reduce your immune system and produce numerous side effects.

Many orthopedic implants are made of metals, like titanium.   You may want to check your supplements and multivitamins.  If your supplements contain titanium oxide or other forms, aluminum or other metals, you  should discontinue their use.  Taking supplements with metals in them can increase your likelyhood to reacting to metal implants or may produce side-effects similar to these orthopedics.  Effects noted maybe due to the leaching the these metal components into the blood.
