Chronic Lyme, Mast Cells, & Allergies + a Video

September 15, 2018

Today’s video is all about mast cells.  Mast cells, mast cells, mast cells.  They’re essential to our body but, when overactive, can cause serious health issues.  While I cover mast cells in the video, you can also learn more about another key factor in allergies called histamine.

~~~~~~~~~

While I have been treating my overactive mast cells for many years now, things have not resolved 100%.  This is due to underlying, recurrent infections (yeast, epstein barr virus, and bartonella).  Of course, getting rid of these infections is not a piece of cake and they keep my immune system very inflamed.  In turn, my mast cells are always on edge.  While I have done many different therapies in the past, I currently am only taking chromolyn sodium (oral), d-hist (supplement), and doing urine injections once a week.  I’ve found that the longer I am on my bartonella treatment, the less often I react.  However, if the infection ramps up for any reason (full moon, treatment, sluggish detox pathways, etc…), things get much worse and I experience my throat closing much more often (a tell tale symptom of both bartonella and active mast cells).  To learn more, be sure to watch the video!
