As reported by the UK Daily Mail:
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency announced last month that patients would be called in for x-rays and blood tests to check for adverse reactions.
Dr Neil McGuire, clinical director of medical devices at the MHRA, said he wanted to establish whether cobalt leached from the implants was causing adverse effects.
It's the latest evidence that medical interventions that involve heavy metals may be having profound negative disease effects on patients. In addition to cobalt in hip replacements, flu shots given to children and expectant mothers in the United States are still deliberately formulated with mercury, a potent neurotoxin and brain damaging heavy metal.
A Natural News laboratory investigation conducted in 2013 found organic rice protein from China to be heavily contaminated with lead, a toxic heavy metals linked to lowered IQs, heart damage and skeletal system disorders. Heavy metals like lead, cadmium, mercury, copper and cobalt have inundated both the food and medical supply chains across western nations, leading to chronic, widespread exposure of citizens to toxic elements that promote brain damage and degenerative disease.

Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is the founding editor of NaturalNews.com, a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com called "Food Forensics"), an environmental scientist, a patent holder for a cesium radioactive isotope elimination invention, a multiple award winner for outstanding journalism, a science news publisher and influential commentator on topics ranging from science and medicine to culture and politics.
Mike Adams also serves as the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation.
In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.
Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.
