Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 We are immersed in chemical sea. To become healthy, we should become ape man, since synthetic clothes also can cause skin diseases and cotton clothes are going beyond reach of a common man. Everything is appearing to end at Cancer. Recently link between Ritalin, a drug used widely for ADHD children and CVD for children is researched. What is surprising is that a disease may take a long time to appear. Implants are being used for beauty as well as necessity. a case of large B-cell lymphoma occurring in a 78-year-old man who had a knee prosthesis implant for more than 30 years is reported in: American Journal of Surgical Pathology. 29(6):832-836, June 2005. Metallic Implant-Associated Lymphoma: A Distinct Subgroup of Large B- Cell Lymphoma Related to Pyothorax-Associated Lymphoma? Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma arising at the site of metallic implant is very rare, and the possible carcinogenic effects of the metallic components and wear particles of the implant have not been answered despite many years of investigation. authors report a case of large B- cell lymphoma occurring in a 78-year-old man who had a knee prosthesis implant for more than 30 years. The lymphoma was of microscopic size and found incidentally in the wear debris removed at surgical revision of the loosened prosthesis.

One is left with no choice, and unless we come up with Ayurvedic / Homeopathic alternative for relief of either the disability or the pain, or both, we are left with no options. d) There is an entity called as Osteo-integration, where the body tries to invade the new implant and surround it , and fix it, and make it a part of itself, ( otherwise it will become loose). That process, has resulted in Lymphoma after 30 years ( or during these 30 years) e) The other way to look at this problem is to come up with Ayurvedic medications that will prevent such lymphoma from occurring or to treat it. Now, that is a challenge, and that will be a true Integrated Medicine. we should have more such discussions in future, instead of just throwing stones at modern medicine.
