EP31 - Sensiband Metal Allergy Test Kit w/Spine Surgeon & Inventor Mitch Reiter

In this episode of Heavily Metalled, we’re diving deep into the Sensiband metal allergy test kit with inventor and renowned spine surgeon Dr. Mitchell Reiter. Sensiband is FDA Class 1 medical device and a groundbreaking tool designed to help individuals identify sensitivities to metals that could be causing systemic pain and other health issues.Dr. Reiter discusses his background and why metal allergies and allergies in general play an important role in his personal life. In practice Dr. Reiter and his inventor/partner Dr. Mark Drzala started noticing some of their surgical patients with sensitivities were experiencing poor surgical outcomes. Dr. Drzala had his own experience with metal allergy and toxicity after reacting to mercury in his dental hardware so their minds turned towards helping these patients and moving them towards a better quality of life. This episode not only delves into all things Sensiband, but also addresses some prominent questions regarding surgical implants, metal allergies, alternative materials, pre-screening customs, and how to combine multiple testing modalities for the most up to date and accurate information regarding a particular patient and that patient’s unique hypersensitivities. We also discuss current stigmas and attitudes in the medical and device industries towards metal allergies and how the tides may be starting to shift in favor of those with documented metal hypersensitivity. This is an episode you won’t want to miss!

• What the Sensiband test is and how it works.  

• Real-life stories of patients who have made dramatic recoveries when their surgical hardware was removed.
