Components and Moderators

[Guest guest]

I have heard of the Oxinium components and don't have much

experience with them. I would add though that regardless of what

components your Ortho MD uses, you all as patients need to remember

to have at least a yearly Xray of you components to make sure they

are wearing correctly and that there are no issues. You wouldn't

put a new tire on your car and never check it so don't do that with

your bodies.

On another note,

I have found a couple of moderators and they will watch over the

site without being intrusive. Thanks to you all for supporting one

another. Marilyn has been a moderator in the past but is offline

for a while. She has been a tremendous help to me and to all of you

as I have witnessed.

Thanks,

Alisa
