Alison Vickery, FDN-P

Alison has been working in the area of histamine intolerance and mast cell activation for ten years. She was first diagnosed with histamine intolerance after being prescribed Metformin®, a medication for insulin resistance, that blocks the histamine degrading diamine oxidase enzyme. Then a series of severe adverse reactions to medications saw her diagnosed with mast-cell activation disorder. She also developed chronic fatigue, and an acquired brain injury from that medication. She has trained extensively over the last 10 years with some of the thought leaders in health restoration. The person who has influenced her way of working the most is Dr. Klinghardt. She uses his ART testing in her practice along with functional health testing and tools.

Apart from her role as a practitioner, Alison continues to advocate for better prescribing practices. She has appeared in an Australian Health Inquiry and obtained two recommendations. She has also achieved policy implementations in the Australian Health System aimed at educating doctors on identifying medication errors.
