high blood metal levels. cobalt 14ug and chromium 9.7ug

My husband has a MoM implant from 2009 and has levels of cobalt and chromium in his blood and urine for years. For all these years, his Dr recommended that as he was not in pain and had no tissue/inflammation/joint deterioration that he did not need revision surgery. Fast forward and my husband has been diagnosed for 5 years with Parkinson's-- however he never responded to typical treatments for such diagnosis. I have always felt his issues have stepped from the toxins. Has anybody found any non-invasive solutions to remove, or at least diminish, them in the body? I have started him on N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, which is supposed to help. If someone has had hip revision surgery, do you have a recommended ortho and did the revision stop the metal production? Has anybody found more research and/or a good toxicologist? Thank you. Sally

@sallysher First, removal of the offending implants will remove the source of chromium and cobalt, so the levels with diminish. One year after revision, my levels had fallen to the normal range. As far as I know, removal is the only long-term solution.
Second, the tremors, gait problems, brain fog and other issues can also be caused by metal poisoning, so it is possibly the reason he is not responding to typical Parkinson treatments.
My revisions, while not fun, resolved all my issues except tremors and an elevated heart rate. I have managed these for over 10 years without a problem.
Finding a revision surgeon is another matter. I was ab P e to get a recommendation from a PT I trusted,
