EP27 - Metal LTT Blood Testing ORTHOPEDIC ANALYSIS Walkthrough, Q&A + Implant Composition FAQ

Join me today for a complete video walkthrough on ordering, drawing & shipping the Orthopedic Analysis blood Metal LTT Lymphocyte Transformation Test. You’ll get to see results of my new OA test and learn all about the valuable resources on the OA website. Additionally you will hear again from OA C.F.O., Dr. Marco Caicedo on not only some of my surprising results with the recent test, but also some experiences and common questions from some in the metal-allergic community regarding OA testing. Lastly, you will learn how to obtain implant composition data from providers, manufacturers and hardware reps, and then how to break that down to know what percentages of which metal alloys are in your hardware. This will empower you so that you can better choose MORE compatible hardware for if and when you have to have surgeries that implant metal.
In this episode you will learn:
About the many FAQ & resources available for patients and providers alike on the Orthopedic Analysis Website.
How metal reactivity and sensitivity can change over time in the innate and adaptive immune system. Is nickel really the enemy?
How to determine chemical composition of metal alloys within implants.
When patch testing might NOT be a good idea and when it can be a useful tool.
