New Study Proves: Heavy Metals Released From Joint Replacement Surgery Are A Hidden Driver Behind Alzheimer’s Disease
But You Can Avoid This Dangerous Surgery — And Protect Your Brain
If you suffer from joint pain — and 60 million Americans do — chances are high you’ve heard your doctor sing the praises of joint replacement surgery.
This procedure is hailed as the answer to worn-out knees and aching hips.
And millions of Americans believe it.
Doctors perform more than 2.8 million hip and knee replacements every year. And that number is projected to hit 4 million by 2030.1
I’m not a fan of these procedures. I’ve never liked the idea of introducing metal and plastic into your body.
Recent evidence is shocking and reveals that joint replacements carry a hidden danger that no one wants to talk about.
A groundbreaking study from Europe reveals that patients with knee and hip implants have alarmingly high levels of heavy metals in their brains.2
Researchers — using specialized MRI scans — detected high levels of cobalt and titanium in the brains of people with orthopedic implants.
And a second study, published earlier this year, compared the brains of 88 subjects who had joint replacement with 89 controls.3
The study showed that those who’d had joint replacement had “significantly higher concentrations of cobalt and titanium” in brain tissue compared to controls.
Both of these metals are associated with increased amyloid plaque formation.
Think about that for a moment...
These metals are used to make your hip or knee prosthesis durable and resistant to corrosion. By far the most common type of replacement joints use both metal and plastic.
Over time, these artificial joints begin to wear down. As they degrade, they shed tiny particles and ions of toxic heavy metals into your bloodstream that eventually cross the blood-brain barrier — and accumulate in brain tissue.
And that’s just the beginning of the problem.
You see, your brain is highly sensitive, and even trace levels of toxic metals can wreak havoc.
In my clinic, I’ve seen how elevated metal levels can trigger neuroinflammation — an underlying driver of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other forms of dementia.4
Cobalt, which easily crosses the blood-brain barrier, is especially dangerous. It mimics iron in your body but doesn’t behave like it. Instead, it generates free radicals and oxidative stress and can activate mitochondrial dysfunction — a hallmark of degenerative brain diseases.5
Meanwhile, titanium — which is often marketed as “biocompatible” — isn’t much better.
Studies show this metal interferes with synaptic signaling, the process by which brain cells communicate with each other.
They also trigger chronic neuroinflammation.6
For years, I’ve warned for years that Alzheimer’s isn’t random. It’s an environmental disease — fueled by toxins, inflammation, as well as modern medicine’s toxic “solutions.”
Joint replacements may be one of the biggest hidden drivers behind Alzheimer’s disease.
I truly understand that the level of pain from osteoarthritis and joint degeneration can be so great, patients often don’t care about toxins. They just want relief.
The good news is that there are better and safer alternatives to artificial replacements.
Regenerate Joints Safely And Naturally
The medical industry doesn’t want to accept this fundamental truth: Your body has the ability to heal using platelet-rich plasma (PRP). PRP uses natural compounds from your blood to regenerate the tissue, collagen, tendons, ligaments, and restore youthful joints.
Here’s how it works...
A doctor draws a small amount of your blood and runs it through a centrifuge. The machine separates out red blood cells. It leaves behind plasma with a high concentration of platelets. PRP is 5 to 10 times richer in platelets than whole blood.
You probably know platelets as blood clotters. But they’re so much more.
Platelets attract stem cells to any injury or damage. These basic building blocks of your body can transform themselves into any other kind of cell — whether it’s a heart muscle cell, a blood cell, or a nerve cell.
They can even become whatever kind of cell your joints need.
And inside every stem cell is a stash of powerful proteins called human growth factors (HGFs).
HGFs function as a communication system. These messengers signal local cells to make more cells or create a new type of cell. They help regenerate injured tissues. But here’s the problem...
You lose stem cells and HGFs as you age. This makes your body’s recovery process longer and harder. Joint injuries don’t heal as fast. Chronic problems develop.
But with PRP, you get an abundance of stem cells and HGFs. They help create new muscle, cartilage, ligament, and tendon tissue. The additional growth factors in PRP help heal tissue up to 100% faster than normal.7
Try PRP Therapy For Better Joint Pain Relief
There have been numerous studies over the past few years that show PRP improves function and decreases pain in joints. Here’s what the latest research shows:
Knee Osteoarthritis: Multiple trials demonstrate PRP effectiveness in patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis.
A recent study in the Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research found that PRP significantly improves pain, stiffness, and function in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
And those improvements last up to 12 months.8
A 2024 meta-analysis concluded that PRP significantly alleviated pain and improved function, stiffness, and quality of life in patients within a 12-month follow-up.9
And a third study found that PRP could delay — or even eliminate — the need for total knee replacement in a significant percentage of patients over several years.10
Hip Degeneration: Clinical studies show PRP can provide pain reduction and functional improvement. And most patients experienced symptom relief that lasts over a year.
Research presented at the 2019 Arthroscopy Association of North America meeting demonstrated that patients with hip arthritis who received PRP had a lower rate of progressing to hip replacement compared to those treated with hyaluronic acid over a 6-month period — 11% versus 50%.11
A 2023 review published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine concluded that PRP significantly reduced pain compared to baseline in hip OA patients at multiple time points.12
Damaged Joint Cartilage: PRP activates the regeneration of new cartilage tissue in damaged areas. It also promotes the formation of new blood vessels. This is important for the repair of cartilage that has limited blood supply.
An animal study published in the journal Osteoarthritis and Cartilage demonstrated that PRP increased cartilage cell proliferation, matrix synthesis, and reduced cartilage degradation.13
And in a human study, researchers using ultrasound imaging found a significant increase in cartilage thickness at six months in knee osteoarthritis patients treated with PRP.14
Rotator Cuff Damage. PRP therapy got my patient, who suffered from a torn rotator cuff, back on the golf course — playing the game he loves — within three months.
One study looked at the results of rotator cuff damage treated with PRP compared to steroids. The PRP patients had significant improvements in their range of motion and pain level after three months. After one year, only three patients in the PRP group had to undergo surgery. But 48 patients who received steroids required surgical intervention.
Another study found PRP reduced pain in individuals with partial-thickness tears, providing both short- and long-term benefits.15
If You’ve Already Had A Joint Replacement… Don’t Panic
The best way to detoxify your body is with chelation. I recommend IV chelation.
The word "chelation" is derived from the Greek word “chele,” which means “claw.”
At my clinic, I’ve been using this therapy for years to help patients rid their bodies of heavy metals. It’s a safe, easy, and fast solution, with a very low risk of side effects.
IV chelation delivers edetate calcium disodium, or EDTA, directly into your bloodstream.
In about an hour, this “claw” binds to the heavy metals and toxins in your bloodstream and those that have accumulated in the fat around your tissues, like your liver, and pulls them out.
EDTA is the only procedure able to remove toxic metals from human organs, tissue, and blood.
If you’re interested in checking your heavy metals levels and getting IV chelation, please call my staff to arrange an appointment.
What Sets PRP At The Sears Institute Apart
At the Sears Institute, we go one step further and provide enhanced PRP therapy.
We use a combination of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-poor plasma (PPP) that capture a higher concentration of plasma proteins, called alpha 2 macroglobulin (a2M), and growth factors.
Using a2M drastically changes the biochemistry of a joint. It stops disease progression by binding to and removing cartilage-destroying inflammatory proteins. This provides long-term relief from pain.
But here’s what truly sets us apart from every other PRP provider in the country...
Each patient can receive pre- and post-optimal platelet and stem cell activation that is designed to improve outcomes. These include:
Intramuscular glutathione injection
Intravenous (IV) nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT) before and after PRP procedure HBOT therapy is one of the most effective regenerative therapies that exists today. It provides lifesaving treatment for numerous conditions, ranging from diabetes, stroke, and spinal cord injuries to Alzheimer’s, arthritis, and heart disease.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at the Sears Institute For Anti-Aging Medicine.
We are the only clinic that combines enhanced PRP therapy with hyperbaric oxygen to provide up to 800% more healing power.
You’re ramping up the number of activated stem cells in your bloodstream. This “turbo-charged” healing power goes to work on the parts of your body that need repair.
In one study, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania gave a series of 20 HBOT treatments to 18 people.
