introduced a little over a year ago, we kept hearing so many positive comments!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Our customers praised the genuine leather
belt strap, the durable and lightweight titanium buckle, the great overall
look, the long-lasting wear, the fact that there was never a nickel allergy
rash - or even a concern about one- as this belt is Certified Nickel Free™.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Yet, it seemed there was something
missing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Our customers wanted a brown
belt that would be just as rugged and enduring as the Nickel Free Titanium Work
Belt in Black.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

as we affectionately call it, here is a quick rundown of its attributes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>A handcrafted genuine leather belt strap made
of 1/8" thick leather, this time in espresso brown, is paired with a virtually
indestructible nickel free titanium belt buckle to make a sturdy, hard-wearing
belt!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Titanium is considered a "safe
metal" and as such is recommended by dermatologists and allergists for anyone
with nickel allergy or other metal allergies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>Surprisingly lightweight, this aerospace grade titanium is considered
the workhorse of titanium alloys.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>Resistant to rust and corrosion, the high polish of this center bar
buckle provides an attractive focus for a clean and unadorned belt strap.<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

and bracelets, don't forget to "Detect" nickel in any jewelry with <a href="http://www.nonickel.com/products/Nickel_Alert-21-0.html">Nickel
Alert™</a> and then protect yourself with a highly effective barrier against nickel, <a href="http://www.nonickel.com/products/Nickel_Guard_2_Pack_Refill-19-0.html">Nickel Guard™.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span></a>Nickel Alert can
safely, quickly, and easily test for nickel in jewelry or any metallic product.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Simply use a cotton swab (included with
all orders of Nickel Solution), place several drops of Nickel Alert on the swab
and rub firmly on the metallic item.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>A
pink swab means nickel has been detected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>Nickel Alert is formulated to detect even minute concentrations of
nickel so&nbsp;those people who are the most sensitive to nickel can feel
secure with the test results.<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

has to be worn to prom, that jewelry can be lacquered with Nickel Guard to provide
a proven barrier between the nickel in the jewelry and your skin. </font></font></font><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><font face="Calibri">Nickel Alert and Nickel Guard are each sold separately or
together in the invaluable Nickel Solution kit.<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

will offer the same protection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>Unfortunately, there are additives to nail polish that may cause secondary
dermatitis (another rash!) for those with sensitive skin. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Your prom should be a night to remember for
happy reasons, not because you spent the evening scratching those itchy rashes
from nickel!<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

look includes a belt or jewelry, you may also be in for a night of

            <title>Suffering with Nickel Allergy? Don&apos;t Be Tempted by a St. Patrick&apos;s Day Pot of Gold!</title>
            <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;<font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><font face="Calibri">For anyone with nickel allergy, it may be a good idea to be
wary of gold whether it's at the end of the rainbow or at the jewelry store.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Calibri">&nbsp;</font></o:p></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">Many&nbsp;people believe gold jewelry is nickel
free and therefore safe to wear to avoid nickel allergic reactions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>This is not always the case, so caution should
be exercised when purchasing gold and particularly when considering the use of
gold products for piercing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>All gold,
except for pure 24K gold, is alloyed with other metals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Unfortunately for nickel allergy sufferers,
one of those metals is often nickel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>Nickel is frequently used as an alloy because of its strength, luster,
and durability. <o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Calibri">&nbsp;</font></o:p></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><font face="Calibri">Pure gold does not have the strength and durability to make
lasting jewelry. Gold jewelry that is
labeled 18 karat gold is made of about 75% gold. To provide the enduring
qualities needed for jewelry, 18K gold has been alloyed with one or more metals.
Fourteen karat gold only contains about 58% gold, meaning the other metals make
up 42% of the jewelry item. When nickel is used as one of the alloying metals,
nickel allergy rashes or other symptoms will result for anyone who is sensitive
to nickel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span><o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Calibri">&nbsp;</font></o:p></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">According to experts in the field, white gold is not a good
alternative for anyone with nickel allergies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>Products marketed as white gold may be yellow gold that has been alloyed
with nickel to produce the white lustrous appearance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Though it may also be covered with rhodium, a
nickel free element often used for jewelry plating, this top layer will wear
with time exposing the nickel in the base metal.<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Calibri">&nbsp;</font></o:p></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">Anyone who is nickel allergic should test all jewelry for
nickel content prior to wearing and having to endure those uncomfortable
symptoms that often last for days following exposure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Nickel Alert™ has been specifically
formulated to quickly, easily, and safely test any metal item to determine if
it contains nickel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>It will show even a
minute concentration of nickel so that those who are most sensitive can safely
avert exposure. Should nickel be known to be present in existing jewelry,
Nickel Guard™ can protect the skin from contacting nickel when applied
according to directions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Nickel Guard is
sold separately or together with Nickel Guard as the nickel test kit, &nbsp;<a href="http://www.nonickel.com/products/Nickel_Solution-18-0.html">Nickel Solution™ </a>. These products are a great way
to make a healthy start toward nickel avoidance.<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">If gold cannot be trusted to be nickel free, what are the
options? Nickel allergic consumers may consider titanium, sterling silver, and
stainless steel jewelry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Titanium is considered
by allergists to be safe for most people who suffer allergies to metal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver and is
usually alloyed with copper, making it a good choice for those who are allergic
to nickel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Stainless steel may contain
nickel but it is so tightly bound that the nickel salts cannot leach out to
cause a reaction, so it too is a good choice.<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

looking for the leprechauns' pot of gold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>It could cause trouble in more ways than one!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Wondering about the celebratory food and
drink associated with this holiday?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>For
anyone with serious nickel allergies, a visit to an allergist to discuss diet
changes could be helpful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Be aware that
beer, yes even green beer, contains nickel! <a href="http://www.nonickel.com/pages/nickel_allergy_diet.html">The Nickel Allergy Diet</a> on the
NoNickel website also seems to implicate cabbage and possibly corned beef.
However, the NoNickel owners are reassuring that few of their thousands of

allergy symptoms worsen as the temperatures rise, so it was perfect timing to
avoid the dreaded itchy belly rash associated with allergic reaction to nickel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>As perspiration causes nickel salts to
transfer to the skin more easily, summer <a href="http://www.nonickel.com/pages/nickel_allergy_symptoms.html">symptoms for the nickel allergic </a>can
range from mild to severe itching from rashes, welts, hives, or cracks in the

            <title>Is Your Healthy Diet Making You Sick?  Nickel allergy to food is on the rise.</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">Recent news reports have implicated the nickel that is found
naturally in some healthy foods as responsible for an increased number of food allergy
complaints.&nbsp;</font><span style="color: red;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span></span><font color="#000000"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Some experts believe that <a href="http://www.nonickel.com/pages/nickel_allergy_diet.html"><b>nickel allergy to
food</b></a> is growing due to the numbers of people choosing healthier foods including
legumes, whole grains, spinach, oatmeal, and soy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>These staples of a vegetarian diet are
considered to be naturally <a href="http://www.nonickel.com/pages/nickel_allergy_diet.html"><b>high in nickel content</b></a>.<!--?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /--><?xml:namespace prefix = o /><o:p></o:p></font></font></font><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">If you've been trying to improve your diet, but are<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>wondering why you're experiencing <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>symptoms such as a rash (often on the palms of
your hands or the outside of your elbow), fatigue, mouth sores or irritation,
and/or muscle twitches, you may want to plan a visit to an allergist who
specializes in food allergies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>These
symptoms are characteristic of<a href="http://www.nonickel.com/pages/nickel_allergy_diet_hand_eczema.html"><b> nickel allergy to food</b></a>, and can be confirmed by
a specialist. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>While your doctor will
have recommendations specific to your situation, some studies show that taking
vitamin C, especially in chewable tablet form, and eating a diet high in iron
may counteract the negative effects of nickel.<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">Unlike some foods that may result in immediate and even
life-threatening allergy symptoms, nickel is cumulative, building up until
symptoms appear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>Since there may be no way to immediately tell
if nickel is causing problems, let your allergist make the call. If you've
experienced <a href="http://www.nonickel.com/pages/nickel_allergy_symptoms.html"><b>nickel allergy to the metal</b></a> in jewelry or belt buckles, there is
evidence to indicate you may be at an increased risk for nickel allergy to
food. If you are aware that you have nickel allergy, consider the Nickel

            <title>Can Spring Concerts be Hazardous to Your Health?</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<span style="font-family: Calibri; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: medium; ">Spring Concerts for middle- and high-school bands&nbsp;are increasingly popular during the month of May.</span><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><font face="Calibri">Recently we've been hearing that some of these band members
are being diagnosed with nickel allergy resulting in a huge impact in their
ability to play their metallic <a href="http://www.nonickel.com/pages/nickel_allergy_musical_instruments.html"><b>instruments that contain nickel</b></a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span><!--?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /--><o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">The students, band teachers, and parents should be aware
that while this is a growing problem, professional musicians have long considered
allergic contact dermatitis an occupational hazard. Brass, woodwinds, and
string instruments may all contain nickel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>The pressure, friction, and moisture related to sweat and saliva make
nickel allergy symptoms worse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>When you add in the warmer temperatures of May and the fact that some of these concerts are held outside, you can&nbsp;have real problems!</font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">Those problems are uncomfortable nickel allergy symptoms such
as red rashes, bumps on the skin, moderate to severe itching, swelling,
blisters, or crusting skin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>These
symptoms are generally isolated to the area in contact with nickel.<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">In addition to the obvious concerns where metal touches a
person's hands and lips, some guitarists&nbsp;are
allergic to the nickel found in their guitar strings and violinists&nbsp;find their&nbsp;metal
chin rest creates allergy symptoms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Wherever
there is nickel, there can be problems.<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

benefit as there are answers available to help control the symptoms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>A visit to a dermatologist or an&nbsp;allergist
should be the first line of defense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>Once&nbsp; nickel allergy is confirmed, there are remedies for these
musicians. Band instruments and other metals should be tested for the presence
of nickel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Minute concentrations of
nickel can be easily detected by using <a href="http://www.nonickel.com/products/Nickel_Alert-21-0.html"><b>Nickel Alert™</b></a> from <a href="http://www.nonickel.com/"><b>NoNickel.com</b></a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>This product can show a positive nickel
result in seconds and is safe to use on any band equipment.<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">Once the source of the problem has been identified, there
are other resolutions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Acoustic
guitarists may select from bronze, copper, or nylon strings that should not
cause allergic reactions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Plastic
mouthpieces are available for woodwind and brass instruments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>In some cases, wearing gloves may prevent an
allergic reaction.<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><font face="Calibri">It seems that nickel allergies remain for life, so learning
about this problem now can help these young people forestall future days of
discomfort.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;&nbsp;We at </span>NoNickel.com are

the memories of special times with the exceptional women who have had a lasting
and positive influence in our lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>It's our chance to show our appreciation to them for being there for us;
their sacrifices, wisdom, advice, and unconditional love that helped make us
who we are today. <!--?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /--><o:p></o:p></font></span></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

paradigms as individuals, not just as our mom, aunt, or friend. A good start
would be recognizing that she may be allergic to that fabulous jewelry found
just for her. This Mother's Day, show the celebrated lady ways to avoid those
miserable nickel allergy symptoms that come with wearing certain earrings,
watches, or belt buckles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span><o:p></o:p></font></span></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

or "for sensitive skin", so it's a safe bet, right?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Maybe not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>In the US, these terms mean little as there is no standard being
regulated by the government.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>These
labels may mean absolutely nothing, or they may refer to the coating of a
nickel free overlay that will erode over time allowing the nickel in the base
metal to come in contact with the skin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>It seems to us that these meaningless terms have discouraged the nickel
allergic population to the point of giving up on wearing jewelry to avoid those
telltale red, itchy rashes.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

            <title>NoNickel Owner Attends Prestigious ACDS Conference</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><font face="Calibri">Lea Dow, Owner and President of Athena Allergy and
NoNickel.com, was welcomed back to the annual American Contact Dermatitis
Society meeting held in March in San Diego, California.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>This one day meeting entitled "Charting the
Course" featured experts in the field of dermatology covering topics related to
allergic contact dermatitis. Lea had previously been a regular exhibitor at
these meetings and was excited to have the opportunity to introduce her new
line of<a href="http://www.nonickel.com/pages/certified_nickel_free.html"> certified nickel free </a>products to former business associates,
dermatologists, and allergists.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">Reaction to these products was overwhelmingly positive with
several physicians placing belt orders for themselves!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Finding stylish <a href="http://www.nonickel.com/catalog/Nickel_Free_Belts-1-1.html">nickel free belts </a>designed
for men, women, teens, and children has been a challenge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>NoNickel.com also offers big and tall sizes, and
has been particularly successful with the handmade genuine leather nickel free belts
for this market.<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">Conference goers found NoNickel's nickel free certification
particularly&nbsp;noteworthy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>For years, physicians
have heard complaints from their patients that the products labeled "hypoallergenic"
or "nickel free" did not resolve their nickel allergy symptoms and often made those problems worse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Some of these products are falsely advertised
while other products have a top coating or overlay of a nickel free
material.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Once this overlay diminishes,
skin is exposed to the nickel in the base metal resulting in allergic
reactions. NoNickel tests each of their products to assure there is no nickel
in the base metal or any coating. <o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><font face="Calibri">In addition to exhibiting many styles of belts, a variety of
<a href="http://www.nonickel.com/catalog/Nickel_Free_Jewelry-3-1.html">nickel free jewelry </a>was also on display.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>NoNickel.com offers nickel free&nbsp;watches, many styles of
hypoallergenic earrings, nickel free belt buckles, and even nickel free buttons
and rivets for jeans, casual pants, or shorts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span><o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">A product familiar to some of the dermatologists was <a href="http://www.nonickel.com/catalog/Nickel_barrier-13-1.html">Nickel
Solution</a>™.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>This easy-to-use and
invaluable kit allows users to test for nickel with Nickel Alert™, then brush on
Nickel Guard™ to provide a protective barrier between the nickel and skin. For
anyone who is allergic to nickel, being able to test items before purchasing is
a significant benefit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>It is equally
important to be able to continue to wear priceless items that may contain
nickel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Nickel Solution allows for both,
thus making life a little simpler for those dealing with the aggravation of nickel
allergy symptoms.<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><font face="Calibri">Ms. Dow and her husband, Michael, have over forty-five years
combined nickel allergy experience and started their business to help those
with nickel allergy live comfortable lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>Their knowledge and dedication are noted by ACDS members who are pleased
to have them available as resources for nickel allergy needs.<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

            <title>The Chocolate Easter Bunny - friend or foe?  Will the nickel in chocolate spell an end to the Easter Basket?</title>
            <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;<font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">Every year just before Easter, the phones at NoNickel.com
start ringing off their hooks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Parents
and other concerned adults are wondering, "Is it safe to eat chocolate if you
have a nickel allergy?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Can I give my
nickel allergic child a solid chocolate treat without worry?"<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">Interesting questions especially since many people consider
nickel allergy to be a rash that is confined to the area of skin where the
nickel in metal comes into contact.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>However, some highly allergic individuals experience systemic contact
dermatitis, or a rash appearing in locations other than where the nickel makes contact, or even
itching on their hands and feet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>In
these cases, there is evidence to suggest that lowering the amount of nickel in
their diet could be beneficial.<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">Michael Dow, company owner, has this to say, "Check with
your dermatologist or allergist before giving up chocolate or any foods on the
nickel allergy diet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>For the majority of
people, nickel in the diet is not a problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>Only those who are severely allergic to nickel may benefit from this
extreme diet. In other words, why give up chocolate if you don't have to?!"<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><font face="Calibri">The <a href="http://www.nonickel.com/pages/nickel_allergy_diet.html">nickel allergy diet</a> he mentions can be found on our website along with other helpful tips on avoiding nickel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span><o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">
