Again, you are my only reliable hope for dealing with MCAS. I have been through many expensive tests, treated as a psychosomatic patient, and pretty much dismissed as too much of a self advocating pain in the ass. I try very hard to be agreeable and have just given up on getting someone that wants to deal with this in my area. I am endlessly grateful that you post videos, so I have a clue of what I can do on my own to make life tolerable. I know this body, and I detest being treated like I am seeking attention instead of validation and help. I only go to a physician now if I absolutely have no other choice. Bless you, again, for being my MCAS Angel! Please continue to help us...

The best thing about this information is that for the first time in years someone recognizes that we are not all crazy, hypochondriacs. I'm glad to have the green light to consult a holistic or other type doctor because the "regular" ones are doing more harm than good, IMO.

I had to have low dose immunotherapy for this, I was 'allergic' to my own Adrenaline and Histamine along with countless foods and environmental chemicals. Fasting, high fat diet and restricting carbs are the most effective tools I have found to relieve the symptoms. Never eat reheated foods or those which are not fresh, Amines build up in those as they deteriorate. If you do consume a carb based diet you will need to eat more frequently so switch to a Keto type diet to be able to longer between meals, it only takes a week or two to adjust.Remember to add fruits and veg but as Dr.Anderson says keep to low Histamine and Oxylates until things straighten out. The chemical intolerances can be very deeply entrenched, creating a minefield. Systemic Proteolitic Enzymes are also very helpful, they help the body clear up the rubbish.

Just passed 65 hours of my fast and while I get itchy at night and my fingers are puffy, my stomach has gone down and my ankles look good. I’ve got a lot to heal.

Not sure anyone reads comments. I started Pepcid daily...lowers histamine and lowers cytokines ( inflammation). In addition I started Sulfloraphane mixed with Urolithin A...1/2 cap of each. Wow these three supplements reduced inflammation in my legs and body. My nose drip stopped with Pepcid. All three supplements are antiinflammatory!!

Only Dr, I have ever seen in monologue of empowered empathise talk. Thank.🎉

[Angela-ioks]

This is the most helpful information I’ve come across on MCAS! Thank you so much! 😊

[southwife]

Oh my! Very important information.... missing clean up. Grateful for you. Many thanks.

I guess I'm pretty fortunate, as I have a mild case of MCAS. I had chronic Lichen Sclerosus symptoms for years, until I started to heal my gut. I still occasionally get symptoms when my immune system is revved up ( i.e. immediately following Covid vaccines). Just recently I ended up with a severe case of acid reflux followed by an intense globas sensation. This all occurred on the heels of having Covid. Diet (low carb, low acid) got rid of the acid reflux, but I still have the globas. My GI doctor told me me I have Esophageal Hypersensitivity. No surprise... At least I wasn't told I was crazy! So, with that I decided to do intermittent fasting and take DAO and Quercetin with Brolemin and Nettle. It's working well. I also will begin taking an immune modulator with tinofend.

One last thing, I may try NAET and possibly ozone therapy. I heard good things about them both However, it can get very expensive.

I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks

[MegaWandak]

I love it that your thorough and you go all the way out to get your point across. That’s the way Dr should be. Thank you so much.

[kevinsomers]

I apologize, but I don't know how anyone can go to these integrative doctors. They don't take insurance, and the costs are more than most people make, when they were well enough to work. It just seems hopeless

[reachruthanne]

This explains so much!!! And form what you say, it's good to know I've got a good Dr., in network too.

[surenza]

I believe it’s a hormonal imbalance if some kind. For me, I had my testosterone levels checked and it was super low. I got that addressed and all my MCAS symptoms practically disappeared

[stellaancimer]

Carnivore really helps me with this condition 😊

[ItBetterBeFast]

Now if only I could find a doctor that actually looks into anything. I have this from long Covid. I visited at least 6 different doctors and they all said it’s due to anxiety. So let’s see….I get hives, flushing, dizziness, heart palpitations and lose motor function for no reason whatsoever? This is from “anxiety”? lol okay

[travelinglifeofafoodie]

I’m new to this but I have this, seeing a dr they told me to take Albizia, goldenseal, zeolite spray, Trisha mushroom, turmeric and chickory root. Can I do yours with this bc I have a lot of yeast.

[Kmstube]

Can you make a flow chart of each possible component in MCAS and what could cause each response? Ie mast cells, EOSinophils. basophils etc.

[sharonmccoy]

I have a very irritable bladder due to mcas. It flares when I try to take a new supplement to help with mcas or help with the bladder keeping me up all night hurting so much. I have no one to turn to who understands this bladder problem. How can I calm it down and keep it in good shape???

[urvashi]

what should be the dosage for oral B5 pantothenic acid tablets?

[als]

What are your thoughts on ketotifen? Haven't heard you mention this...
