I wonder if iron is a metal .. ?

"We propose that inflammatory metals may trigger CFS and myalgic
encephalitis and multiple chemical sensitivity. "

Many patients attribute their health problems to amalgam and other
dental metals.
In genetically susceptible indviduals, mercury and gold
may function as haptens and elicit allergic and autoimmune reactions.
The frequency of metal-induced lymphocyte responses was examined in
3,162 patients in three European laboratories using MELISA(R), an
optimized lymphocyte proliferation test.
The patients suffered from local and systemic symptoms attributed to
dental restorations.
The effect of dental metal removal was studied in 111 patients with
metal hypersensitivity and symptoms resembling Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome (CFS).
After consultation with a dentist the patients decided to
replace their metal restorations with non-metallic materials.
The changes in health and in vitro lymphocyte reactivity were studied
by inquiries and follow-up MELISA(R).
Lymphocyte reactivity was also analyzed in 116 healthy subjects with
no complaints of metal allergy.
A significant number of patients had metal-specific lymphocytes in
the blood.
Nickel was the most common sensitizer, followed by inorganic
mercury, gold, phenylmercury, cadmium and palladium.
As compared to lymphocyte responses in healthy subjects, the CFS group
had significantly increased responses to several metals, especially to
inorganic mercury, phenylmercury and gold.
Following dental metal removal, 83 patients (76%) reported long-term
health improvement.
Twenty-four patients (22%) reported unchanged health and two (2%)
reported worsening of symptoms.
Following dental metal replacement, the lymphocyte reactivity to
metals decreased as well.
We propose that an inflammatory process induced by metals may modulate
the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) and trigger
multiple non-specific symptoms characterizing CFS and other chronic
conditions like myalgic encephalitis (ME) and multiple chemical
sensitivity (MCS).

Has the door been opened yet for other metals to be considered?
Such as nickel. Ear piercings can initiate the sensitivity. And
nickel
is readily available in chocolate.

Naah, may as well leave that alone, let you stick with iron. Even
though nickel is in the iron group.
