Isn’t it always the case that when something takes on personal significance – ‘we’ give it more attention?  Whether that ‘we’ is a country, a group of researchers, a practitioner or a patient.   Let me explain…

🌍Denmark, among many other European countries, I love your hyperfocus!

Having regulated Nickel content of certain consumer goods since the 1990s they continue to monitor compliance, exposures, calculating not only food content but other sources and correlate changes in these with the impact on Danes & their Nickel related dermatitis!!  Recent research, for example, picking up that many common kitchen kettles were leaching Nickel – which lead to their subsequent removal from sale! Sadly, ‘down south’ there’s no such regulation or interest and so our ongoing Nickel exposure continues to go unchecked.

😎😎 Two retired scientists personally affected by severe Nickel Allergy, motivated to make more information available for everyone – I can’t thank you enough!

These two researchers have together created the most up to date, evidence based, full referenced Nickel food tables in addition to a bunch of other invaluable resources for practitioners and patients alike…helping us take huge steps forward in understanding how to undertake the Low Nickel diet with the scientific rigour it requires.  And as part of this, identifying previous invisible sources of oral Nickel exposure by way of our SUPPLEMENTS!😲  Yes you heard me 😥

👩‍⚕️The practitioners who keep bringing me their Nickel Allergy cases & sharing the success stories of our approach!

You know who you are!  Since learning about Nickel allergy you’ve become dogged in diagnosing in your patients with skin/gut presentations and determined to do better all the time!  I salute you and I celebrate your successes with you! 🤓

🤕The affected patients who continue to teach us about Nickel Allergy by way of sharing all their experiences

So thanks to everyone above 👆 I keep learning & expanding my understanding, my tool kit and can keep sharing these with you – check out the latest Update in Under 30 to reap these rewards 👇🤓

New Tools For Lowering Nickel
As many of us move into a new area of practice, the recognition, management and treatment of Nickel allergy, we find ourselves in search of more scientific support. Given most of our patients will not have access to the proper investigations required to confirm Nickel as the culprit, there’s almost total reliance and emphasis on the diagnostic dietary intervention: The Low Nickel Diet. Questions about how to undertake this correctly and in a way that ensures sound conclusions are reached, in addition to, the equally important question, ‘What happens next?’, are answered in this episode which is accompanied by the very latest referenced Low Nickel diet resources
