Love your presentations. I just began my dysautonomia and mast cell activation journey about 6 months ago, but it has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to experience and endure already. There are zero providers in my area who know anything about these illnesses, and I've been to nearly a dozen specialists already - including 4 different allergists and immunologists. Because I don't appear to have mastocytosis, they won't treat me or provide ongoing care. Instead I get referred back out to GI specialists, dermatologists, and neurologists (who I haven't even been able to see yet thanks to a 9 month waiting list). And the circle goes around and around. I'm told to "stay off the internet!" But if it wasn't for the internet, I wouldn't even know what I'm dealing with and what steps to take to try and get things under control. Grateful for people like you who are educating people and advocating for care.
@@DrA-Online I wish you well. Did you have Covid as a catalyst? Lyme? Just curious as to what started your symptoms. BTW, If it weren’t for the internet and doing tons of research on my own about every lead I got, every infection, how to cope with mold toxicity, what the root causes of the downstream messes in my body, and how to read the signs and symptoms I had, I probably wouldn’t be here. I’m alone and have no support. I’m in horrible pain, and using my energy to get ready and drive to see practitioners, is all I can do in one day. ❣️🙏
I was in the hopistal every day because of my body not calming down after anaphylaxis (from something I wasn't previously allergic to). A couple doctors knew enough that I was having ongoing reactions and prescribed me double to triple dose anti histamines and steroids long term. But that was it. I was told it must be an infection, lupus or a neurological issue. They had zero idea and yet now that I know about histamine, I think it is severely obvious. I have a friend with immune system allergy issues so I knew enough to ask her. She spent nearly a year trying to find a doctor who knew how to treat her. According to her there are only two allergists in my country (it's a small country, like a small state) who know about MCAS. They're also impossible to get in to see. I've only had a phone appointment with one of them but he was ready to diagnose me and prescribe medication without tests or even seeing me. When finding a doctor, you need to read their resumes to see if they deal with this. I've also been asking receptionists to check whether doctors treat this before booking (not that that is full proof). You also need a functional/integrative/naturopathic doctor because the phaeceuticals isn't enough. But I have yet to find one which can actually help. They're more aware of it, but same goes, you need a doctor who deals with it. If you think this is what's wrong, then don't listen to a doctor who doesn't know about it and get in an see a specialist.
@@kitxxxxxxx This is a very sad situation! I already have functional medicine practitioners. I don’t have MCAS, but I think my adult son does, but he doesn’t live here and when I tried to say something to him, he just gets angry from going off his treatments.
"Stay *On* the Internet"! The vast majority of people that have a "rare" disease (meaning probably not as rare as people think, but just massively underdiagnosed) have to figure out most things themselves. Bartonella syndrome, MCAS, Lime disease and on and on...most doctors just don't pay attention, are apathetic, or incompetent. Advocate for yourself, and read, read, read.
Careful, all, with coffee that can be a very strong trigger with low quality brands (starbucks, for example). Look for producers that test for molds, histamine, etc, ( purity, for example) or better yet stop the brew. Can make a huge difference. A few days wont do, must stop for at least two months.
Absolutely agree with the first point! I’ve done 4-5 day fasts in the past (and then gone into eating only one meal a day for a week, etc) and it has completely reset my system! After the first week, the healing happens quickly!! I’m currently in the midst of pregnancy, so this isn’t an option for me right now. Intermittent fasting helps but is much, much slower and way more frustrating. Going into full water fasting is the best reset tool there is.
Thank you. I have had this problem since the 1990s but thanks to diet and h1,h2 and montelukast I had been very well controlled for most of about 15 hrs. I was lucky. Then I took collagen capsules and aggravated the monster. It’s been a month now, off steroids but still taking h1 and h2 twice daily, as well s montelukast and gastrocrom. Still waiting for the genie to go back in the bottle.
Thank you so much Dr. A for your in depth teachings on this topic! I suffered 5 years from undiagnosed Alpha galactose syndrome and I kept going to my provider though he was dismissive and unhelpful. A couple years back I got extremely sick (maybe cov) and that experience with a couple other things (like consuming mammalian products, shoulder surgery) triggered a mast cell disorder. I started online classes for functional medicine nutritionist and also started working with a holistic practitioner virtually and I finally got the diagnosis for AGS. I’m finally seeing progress even if it is slow, and I’m blessed to have found your content. One day I hope to serve and make an impact in others lives like you’re doing. Keep up the awesome work! Best, Gabe
This is spot on, tu, I'm. Long Lyme, long cov, celiac, gut dysbiosis, was pre med+ no Dr here can help me.. can't think out of the box.. do remember that antibiotics are toxic to my gut, + my GI works w those, io Drs treat io DISeases separately + don't think of the body as an integrated system.. no gut /brain knowledge, tu.. would like to see list of recommended floral help, + best gi map test, tu 🙏❤️
Almost no one mentions systemic angioedema without hives. Please address what I can do for that. Lots of fluid almost like acquired angioedema. I’ve got a CIRS / Lyme practitioner but he doesn’t know enough about MCAS and angioedema 😞. You have common sense and know this well, I can tell.
Wow this video is the most helpful video I’ve seen. I just moved into a second home that has mould and my body is aching and swelling plus it’s exacerbating my mcas, so this video is exactly what I need
Thank you for this great overview of the benefits of fasting, basics of clean eating, mold/mycotoxins elimination, heavy metal influence, pesticides/herbicides in the environment, comorbid conditions, and biochemical pathways.
Wow! This is a lot of information! I have had lots of toxins, and have been sick for 21 years, first from breast implants, then autoimmune diseases (RA, AS, Sjogren’s, etc.) mold toxicity in a condo, more infections than I can count, organ failure and surgeries, etc. Then I had to move, and was bitten by a tick, so now I’m fighting acute and chronic Lyme, autoimmune issues that pop up, cold sores, and have chronic pain and illness. I have been on a good diet for 8 years; organic, no gluten, no dairy, etc. I know my adult son has this, because he has Lyme and probably mold, but he vomits immediately when he eats certain foods, like corn. Unfortunately, he doesn’t want to “crawl out if the hole”.
@@brendabrenner2891 Yes, and I have it. However a lot of symptoms left when I had my implants removed and got out of the mold. But, now the Lyme is killing me! If I were to go back to eating gluten (I’m usually grain free) and other stuff that’s not good for you, I’d be WAY WORSE!
@@tammiluetkemeyer7036 I had them 12 1/2 years until they were removed. I had no idea that was making me so sick, because doctors are LIARS! It’s their bread and butter! Those things almost killed me, and many other women have no idea why they feel like crap, have food allergies, IBS, fibromyalgia, autoimmune diseases, flu-like symptoms,, brain fog, back pain, etc. The implants are foreign bodies that degrade in 4 years in a shelf! Put them in a human body, and they are so toxic the body builds a tissue capsule around each one to protect itself. That shell hardens and I couldn’t breathe. I wish I could show you pictures of what came out of me! The implants looked ok, but the outer covering, the capsules, looked like big slabs of dried up bacon or salami! I was so grossed out! No wonder I had back pain and couldn’t breathe! Immediately after I got them out, I started to feel better (except that I got a superbug from the hospital, but after that went away, I was great!) I swear, I would have died of lymphoma or something if I didn’t find out about how toxic they are, and have them removed! It took a while during the operation because they were under the muscle and had started to migrate into my lung area, so the doctor had to carefully pull pieces out through my ribs. I also had enlarged lymph nodes all over my body, especially under my arms and neck, etc. I’ve helped other women get theirs out, and they felt way better after having them removed. There’s a black box warning on them now. I want to make T shirts with “Flat and Happy” on them! That was probably the worst decision of my life, besides getting married to the wrong guy! Oh, well! That can be fixed, but your health is all you have!!
@@tammiluetkemeyer7036 I had then 12.5 years until finally I learned about breast implant illness. I’m convinced I would be dead if I had not had them removed. They screwed up every system in my body, and I developed autoimmune diseases, infections, organ failures, 4 major operations, had them removed and felt 90% better until I got Lyme a couple years later.
I fasted 36 hours twice in three days and I got 95% better instantly. I say 95% better because I don’t lnow how my body reacts to strength training yet, but everything cardio my body can handle now.
Antronex made a huge difference in my allergies (it's from bovine liver fat), also through fasting I found out I'm highly allergic to milk now (even raw 😢) thanks for your channel. The fatigue got really bad with fasting and I stopped, but I hope to try again soon
You're an absolute godsend, Dr. A. I don't understand half of what you're saying but, oh, I wish I did! I'd be well on my way back to health. Your manner is relaxed, warm, and respectful and the information you give is pure gold, thank you. Btw, the link to Integrative doctors doesn't seem to be working...
Thank you for your wonderful videos! My MycoLab has a mycotoxin test that’s 98% accurate, testing for antibodies. It would be great to hear your thoughts on this test versus the urine tests. I have MCAS, CIRS, disautonomia & more. I lived in a house with mold & that’s where the MCAS, disautonomia, CIRS & melanoma started. I was going to use the urine test but was hesitant because I was worried that my genetic mutations wouldn’t provide an accurate test because of detox hindrance. When I was first presenting MCAS symptoms, I knew the mold was the issue but I was never helped by any doctors (I saw too many doctors to remember). It took me almost 10 years to finally figure out that I had MCAS, which I discovered by my own research when my symptoms were so severe & doctors just kept saying “I don’t know what’s causing your symptoms, the good news is that your labs are all normal (even though I have worsening symptoms in every system of my body) and it’s probably just stress or it could just be mental. Thank you for making these videos! This information can help so many people get onto the road of healing & end unnecessary suffering! Information from their website: MyMycoLab INTRODUCTION MyMycoLab is a laboratory specializing in blood serum antibody testing for mycotoxins. Our laboratory tests for 14 different mycotoxins for both IgG and IgE antibodies. This is the most precise and accurate method to determine if a person has been exposed to mycotoxins. Mycotoxins and molds have been called "The Great Masquerader" by the World Health Organization. This is because they imitate so many other illnesses and conditions that they are difficult to diagnose and treat. The first step is to see if you are suffering from the effects of mycotoxins and molds. Molds are biological, but mycotoxins are toxins, therefore much more dangerous. This blood serum test is the most precise and accurate test there is for the detection of the body's reaction to mycotoxins, both toxicologically and/or allergically. With the results of this test panel, a health care professional can then take the next step and start treatment. Each test result comes with a full explanation of the mycotoxins, what the results mean, and what are the recommended treatments, with over 110 references as a guide.
I have joint swelling/pain issues. I took 2 Benadryl the other day and it went away temporarily for a few hours. Strange that it works better than medication Mobic. I test negative for Rheumatoid, can this be a Histamine intolerance even if it is low amount? Allergy test took 36 hours for the localized swelling to go away. They told me it would be gone in 8 hours.
My baby has this since she is 5 months😢 i still breastfeed at 11 months. She can hardly eat anything. I don't know what to do. There are no options i know anymore
My only trigger is rubbing the skin , tried 7 day fasting , taking vit D , quercetin with bromelain, l- theanine , nac , ashwaghanda - absolutely no difference 🤨
Low histamine dieet after a fast Omad after that Woodworm tea for three days Soursop moringa Milk thistle Tulsi Quecertin Curcuma NAC No sugar and processed foods After a few weeks add things again. I take charcoal before diner and when i feel hmm i take it afterwards also Air filter machine! Rest, avoid toxic people.
