Had or are having surgery? A biopsy? A colonoscopy? Did you know they often leave metal clips, staples & biopsy markers inside your body WITHOUT TELLING YOU? Do you have metal inside you? Are you sure? Metal Hypersensitivity reactions often cause chronic systemic pain, immune dysfunction, histamine reactions, excema, bleeding rashes & many other chronic symptoms & syndromes that can appear ANYWHERE throughout the body, like "fibromyalgia", yet the correlation is often missed by medical professionals. What about your “safe and effective” medical hardware? Did you know you can be allergic to that too? Have you ever had a reaction to jewelry, a watchband or snaps on your jeans? If you answered yes to ANY of these questions and you don't know where to start to unravel it all and in what order, you should probably come rock out with us to find out more. On this podcast I interview patients, medical professionals & industry insiders, having important discussions regarding the all-to-commonly experienced, but lesser-identified symptoms of hypersensitivity to metals contained in implanted medical & dental hardware. These metals often cause a variety of dysfunctional immune responses, chronic pain & other syndromes that fly under the radar of most patients and physicians. During these interviews the patients and I discuss ideas for managing symptoms, share personal lifestyle modifications and talk about how to advocate with and educate providers pre and post-surgery, along with options found for implant removal and the how-to of adverse event reporting. This podcast does not give medical advice! From time to time I may interview medical professionals that render personal opinions you can use to follow-up with your individual provider.
