Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Hi ladies and gentlemen, As i rarely log on to this site these days, it never fails to amuse me that whenever i do, there seems to be some complete idiot trying to throw spanners in the works for all those people who choose to take the Resurf-route . (I am going to be frank here, and have posted some web link at the end of my mail, with link to official studdies done on this subject) Before having my resurf 2 1/2 years ago, i did more research than most people i knew on here. Cancer due to metal ions was a concearn of mine. To be frank, personally i prefere to (slightly / possibly / probably not) increase the cancer risk and at least have a normal pain free life until something may or may not happen, rather than not to have the surgery and live the life of a semi criple , in constant pain!!! What doesn't cause cancer? well... i breathe polluted air 24 hours per day. I drink mineral water with possibly carcenagenic minerals (incidentally i believe even Cobalt and Chrome traces....), i drink tap water with added chemicals, i eat vegatables that are usually fed with chemicals and sprayed with anti bug juice, i eat meat from animals that have been injected with allsorts of crap, i use plastic stay fresh wrap for my sandwiches..... I buy food with added this chemical, and that preservative and this stabiliser....GET THE PICTURE????? I make sushi several times per week, and saw a recent news atricle that eating farmed salmon more than 4 times per year may cause cancer..... go figure.... It is worth remembering a few things:- 1. Both Cobalt & Chromium are both essential metals used by the body and are absorbed relatively easilly. 2. If we don't have these metals in our system, we actually get very sick. 3. There are countries around the world where cattle are actually injected with these metals, because their food does not contain enough of them naturally, and without them, the cattle develop nerve malfulction diseases. 4. Unlike small head diameter THR devices, the large ball resurf device ensures that the wear and tear of the bearing surfaces is very minimal. 5. Because of the large diameter bearing, your bodies own fluids get between the two surfaces and create a micro film of lubrication, further reducing the amount of debris produced. 6. As well as the above, the two resurfacing bearings are machine polished to within microns of eachother for a perfect fit. With the BHR, each set is polished to make a perfect match for eachother. 7. After an initial wearing in period inside the body, it is argued that there is hardly any wear at all, due to all of the above reqsons. Anyway, what a complete dumb head the person was that posted the original message..... Resurfacing principle sels itself... because its logical!!!! Hope this email helps a few of you that have worries. I rarely visit this group, so please , if you want to respond, do it to my private email. thatguyfromengland@... Richie.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Hi Richie, Thanks for all that info on the minerals........... Given the massive alteration in my own health since getting a hip joint I continue to think that whatever these extra minerals are they are sure quite beneficial......... I am still getting stopped by people who look at me incrediously and just shake their heads at the difference in my appearance in 2 years. Some just say if this is how happy/healthy one looks with a hip joint prothesis they want one too.......... smile. Like it is some sort of cure for depression and generally feeling miserable and unhappy..........smile. So no way would I ever like to trade mine in..........
