Love in defiance of Alzheimer's

If you or your loved one have started experiencing symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease or Dementia, please make sure you eliminate metal toxicity as a cause. I recently learned from the documentary The Bleeding Edge (Netflix) that Dr. Stephen Tower, an orthopedic surgeon suffered memory loss, and dementia-like symptoms after his own hip replacement surgery. He discovered that the metal levels in his blood, leached from his new hip implant, were causing these neurological symptoms. After revision surgery, his metal levels dropped and his symptoms disappeared.

Since then Dr. Tower has done his own studies on the potential for neurological problems associated with increased cobalt levels caused by metal artificial hips.

If you develop symptoms after implanting a medical device (apparently many are allowed into the market without adequate testing… the horror!) such as an artificial hip, please look into whether there are any toxic levels (for example metal) in your blood to eliminate this as a possible cause.

Hope this is helpful! And have a lovely day.

Hello @knowledgespower and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thank you for joining Connect to share what you have learned through the documentary you referenced in your post. Is Alzheimer's close to you personally?

Hello Amanda, thank you for the warm welcome! I just recently watched this movie on Netflix and thought it could be helpful to people and wanted to share it. I feel like we're all personally affected by Alzheimer's in some way as it's so common.
