He is a Dr of internal medicine, who graduated from med school in 1977. He focuses on wellness now. My wife has been under his care for several years and was concerned about the possiblity of my future health, especially the connection of metalosis and Alzheimer's, or other mental issues resulting from my implants. I took her advice more seriously after my humerus was cut open to remove the stem.

Are you having any of the symptoms typical of heavy metal poisoning, or was this just precautionary on your part? Remember if these metals were "freed" from the bone during a surgical procedure, and are now circulating, sometimes waiting for the liver and kidneys to process and remove them can be a prudent choice. After my hip revisions, my metal levels were monitored for 2 years, and everything retreated to normal values without any need for chelation or other therapy.
Good luck with your coming appointment.
