Dana Jeske experienced intermittent paralysis for five years - his doctors could not figure out what was causing it so said it was "psychosomatic". His surgeon suggested sending a blood sample for MELISA testing; the results showed his immune system was reacting to metals he was exposed to. After having all metals removed from his body and teeth (multiple screws, crowns and fillings) he experienced no more paralysis. He tells his remarkable story of recovery in a new podcast series dealing with metal allergies: The Heavily Metalled Podcast. ... See MoreSee Less

We are delighted to see that metal allergy is becoming more recognised among health professionals. "Cases in which patients are inquiring about a metal allergy as it relates to their metal implants - including joint replacements, rods, pins, screws, plates, certain neurologic and cardiac devices such as pacemakers, and dental devices - are becoming more prevalent as medical implants become more common,” said Dr. Golara Honari, a clinical associate professor of dermatology at Stanford School of Medicine." She adds: "There must be a very close relationship between the surgeon and dermatologist as they work together to consider if a patient needs a different type of implant or if they should be tested for metal allergies prior to surgery," she said." Although we would argue that skin reactions is only one possible symptom of metal allergy we still welcome the issue being raised in media. www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2023-03-17/how-metal-implants-could-mess-up-your-skin ...

Another incredible case report of a woman with 18 surgical clips in her neck. She reported extensive health issues such as skin rash, hair loss, memory loss, difficulty concentrating, severe shortness of breath, hot and cold flashes, metallic taste in the mouth, abdominal bloating, joint and body aches, muscle pain and tightness, insomnia and more. A LTT metal allergy test showed a mild reactivity to nickel and titanium. All but one clip was removed and the patient reported resolution of most symptoms within one week of surgery. The use of low-dose naltrexone (LDN) is also discussed.

Two weeks after gallbladder surgery, a 53-year-old man experienced constant abdominal pain in addition to nausea. The symptoms were so severe that they interfered with the man’s lifestyle. The clips were made of nickel and titanium, and a metal sensitivity test confirmed that he was sensitive to nickel.
Six surgical clips were removed and the symptoms disappeared.
The authors conclude: “Standardizing allergy tests as part of the pre-operation checklist can prove to be an inexpensive way to eliminate such post-surgical complications. Furthermore, alternatives like absorbable sutures or even different hypoallergenic metal or plastic clips can be considered viable options to replace nickel or titanium-made surgical clips during surgery.”
