Fantastic work, Davey Storm Naturopathy 🌱

In May, I’m heading to the World Parkinson’s Congress in the US.

As many of you who follow this page know, I’ve been building a dedicated platform called .

The World Parkinson’s Congress is one of the largest global gatherings focused on Parkinson’s disease — bringing together researchers, clinicians, and people living with Parkinson’s from around the world.

A big part of my work is translating complex Parkinson’s research into something practical and meaningful for people day-to-day. That’s what The Parkinson’s Pulse is built on, and why I’m committed to staying at the forefront of this space.

There is a significant amount of science that never makes its way into clinical practice, a lot of it makes a difference and is easy enough for people to implement.

Parkinson’s is complex, and many people are left managing symptoms without a clear, structured approach beyond medication.

I want to change that.

Everything I learn at the Congress will feed directly back into how I work with patients — particularly around nutrition, metabolic health, and the underlying drivers that influence disease progression.

With that in mind, I currently have limited availability leading up to May.

If you’ve been thinking about reaching out, now is a good time.

If you’ve been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, parkinsonism, or another neurodegenerative condition, you can head over to to learn more about my approach and book a consultation.

If you or someone you care about is navigating Parkinson’s and looking for a more structured, evidence-informed approach, I offer 1:1 consultations that dive deeply into your data, identify key trends, and address the underlying drivers contributing to disease progression. You’ll also find a lot of free, evidence informed information on the site that can be used right away.

Chia.
Tiny seed, big benefits!

Chia seeds are an amazing source of nutrients. High in fibre, protein and omega-3 fatty acids, Chia seeds also aid in digestive health and help you avoid snacking, by promoting fullness.

But that’s not all, Chia supports heart health, stabilizes blood sugar levels and contains antioxidants that help with bloating and inflammation.

You learn something ‘NU’ every day.

Sulfites, present in food, drinks, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, have been named the "Allergen of the Year" for 2024 by the American Contact Dermatitis Society (ACDS). Sulfites are currently not in most screening patch test series, so may be missed as a relevant contact allergen, Donald Belsito, MD, emeritus professor in the Department of Dermatology at Columbia University, New York City, said in his presentation on the Allergen of the Year on March 7 at the ACDS Annual Meeting in San Diego. Sulfites, he noted, are distinct from sulfates, and the groups do not cross-react with each other.

Sodium disulfite, an inorganic compound, belongs to a group of sulfiting agents, which contain the sulfite ion SO32− and include ammonium sulfite, potassium sulfite, and sodium sulfite. They function as antioxidants and preservatives in a range of products including food and beverages (especially wine), personal care products and pharmaceuticals.

The type of sulfite allergy diagnosed by patch testing is type IV hypersensitivity or delayed-type hypersensitivity, where patients present with pruritic, red, scaling macules, papulovesicles, and patches, Belsito told Medscape Medical News. "It is not the type I, immediate hypersensitivity that causes hives and, in some cases, anaphylaxis," he said. But sulfites also can cause these side effects, so correct labeling of food and beverages is important.

Some common nonoccupational sulfite sources include hair colouring and bleach products, hairspray, tanning lotions, makeup, sunscreens and deodorants, Belsito said in his presentation. Medications including topical antifungals, topical corticosteroids, and nasal solutions can be culprits, as can water in swimming pools.
High-sulfite food products (> 100 ppm) to be aware of include dried fruit (raisins and prunes are exceptions), bottled lemon or lime juice (but not frozen products), wine, molasses, grape juice (white, or white, pink, and red sparkling) and pickled cocktail onions.

"Like other contact allergens, the clinical presentation correlates with exposure," he added. A study by the North American Contact Dermatitis Group (NACDG) found that 28.8% of patients positive for sulfite allergy on patch testing presented with facial dermatitis, which was not only related to cosmetics and medications used on the face, but also from products, such as shampoo used on the scalp that dripped onto the face. "The scalp is relatively resistant to the expression of contact allergy and may not be involved at all," he said.

According to the NACDG study, the hands were the second most common site of dermatitis associated with sulfites (20.5%) followed by a generalised distribution (13.6%). These sites are to be expected, given the sources of food and beverage, personal care products, and occupational materials, Belsito said.
"Eczematous dermatitis of the lips is also common in patients with ingested food sources of sulfites," he said.

Systemic contact dermatitis to sulfites has been documented following oral, re**al, and parental exposure, Belsito told Medscape Medical News. "Systemic dermatitis may present as a scattered/generalised dermatitis, symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (also referred to as baboon syndrome), or erythroderma," he said.

“One of my initial questions to every patient is, ‘Do you drink filtered water?’ closely followed by ‘How much daily?’

This is, by far, the easiest way to improve your health now and well into the future. In the countryside, tank water is considered better than town water. It may taste better due to the lack of chlorine, but it is likely more laden with environmental chemicals that have crystallized on your roof. When the rains come in, these chemicals de-crystallize, creating a soup of nasties that trickles into your tank and reacts with the pipes on the way through. Many byproducts of these environmental chemicals are also found in tap water, along with various chemical residuals from the sterilization and sanitation process. Just because they are deemed ‘within safe limits’ does not really mean much. Formulating studies in humans to determine this is impossible.

We know these chemicals can cause disruptions to human biochemistry and have been linked to endocrine disruptions, respiratory illness, immune disorders, developmental and behavioral disorders, neurological problems, and a range of cancers. Simply filtering your water will reduce your exposure and accumulation of a range of chemicals, including chlorines, heavy metals, fluoride, phthalates, perfluorinated compounds, industrial chemicals, and even pharmaceuticals and personal care products.

If we are going to drink 6-8 glasses of water per day to provide the body’s ground substance with adequate hydration, we definitely want to be certain we are drinking clean water!”
