There are different schools of thought when it comes to Nickel. Sometimes people come to our center with results from the classic exams that were performed at public hospitals and paid for with the taxpayers' money. They show a positive RAST for milk and casein and Patch Tests positive for Nickel and totally lack information on general health and habits. Hardly any give therapeutic information, even though the proper exams were performed and the results are positive.
"It's no use to intervene, besides nickel is everywhere..." is one of the phrases that many phrases repeated by doctors today. And the misinformation about food allergies is wide and various.
"Well, of course the exams clearly state that you are allergic to milk protein, but you don't really want to diet, considering the problems that this creates..."and so doctors recommend cortisone creams or the controversial Protopic (a ciclosporin-based medicine about which Eurosalus has often spoken).
Truthfully speaking, we have at our disposal all of the possible instruments for helping people understand that dermatitis is a signal from the body and that a food intolerance, even to Nickel , is not a curse, but simply a request for every person to take a reconditioning period in order to recover, just like after pneumonia or a fracture
All treatments, from the use of hypo-sensitization,(from the DRIA test), to the use of minerals with an anti-allergic function (Manganese, Copper, Zinc), to the use of several homeopathic remedies (Aleurone PF1), to the implementation of an anti-oxidizing (Cellfood) or phyto-therapeutic (Ribes) therapy, can and must accompany a proper dietetic regime that helps people regain immune tolerance.
A doctor's objective is to guide people towards the recovery of tolerance; today, however, this isn't only needed by hairdressers or people who touch Nickel every day. It's needed by everyone because reactivity towards the Nickel food group is growing. And not just with regard to tomatoes or kiwis.
The greatest reactivity is associated with hydrogenated vegetable fats which can be found in almost all industrially produced foods. If the body rebels against certain products that can harm it, even by other routes, let's listen to it and help it to recover.
