Justin hit the nail on the head about surgery being a band-aid. There is nothing so magnificent, and good, as original body parts. Any one of us, who now has metal in their body, has a harbinger for bacteria to attach to, and cause all kinds of nasties. The natural body is an awesome thing, and should be allowed to heal on it's own. The only time you get surgery is, when all of the other options have went out the window. After surgery, you are never going to be the same, as you have; "PARTS"
