Vitamins/Chromium/Cobalt -- ?

[Guest guest]

I agree that 's article is hard to find. would it be too

much trouble to put a link to your document under more intuitive

sections like maybe " nutrition " or " life after surgery " ?

Anyway, it is currently located at www.activejoints.com under

section " Total Hip replacement news " towards the end under the

title " Proposed Metal Defense protocol " . The article addresses the

use of vitamins/supplements related to potential/perceived issues

with Cobalt & Chromium .

Also there is an extensive discussion starting with message

22843 " Why chromium ions don't really worry me (long and boring) " ,

with many follow up responses. Hopes this helps.

Thanks Ed.

Y'all can ignore my previous message asking where to find the file.

I suppose I could add another link to it on the " Life After Surgery "

page, I thought it only pertained to the metal-on-metal THR's and the

resurfacing, so it appears on those two pages, in addition to the

News page that is mentioned.

I've been meaning to do an update to the information, the current

version doesn't actually name a multi-vitamin that doesn't contain

chromium, that GNC product was discovered by a surfacehippy member

after it was written.

Other topics I'd like to add are a caution about Vitamin A overuse

(as has been discussed here) in the antioxidants section, and some

details about recent measurements of actual metals levels in

patients, and a comparison of those to workers with industrial

exposure to chromium. I've had some correspondence with some people

in the ortho industry on the latter issue, but haven't put all the

facts together. Also there was a recent paper by a noted industrial

metals safety researcher who opined that the stated risks of chromium

to workers have been inflated by sloppy reporting of in-vitro

experiments.
