Dr. A.... You are the greatest help I have found. I am working my way through, doing all the things you recommend. Things are improving slowly. Thank you.
Heat and humidity trigger these symptoms. When I lived in Dubai it was the worst, and now every summer there are problems. Exercise makes me feel much better though.
I highly recommend fasting for MCAS! It has worked for me in the past and gotten me to a state of stabilized health! I’m currently pregnant and going through a flare and so I can’t fast for multiple days, sadly. I’m trying intermittent fasting everyday (eating 2 meals within an 8-hour window) but it’s not nearly as effective as multi-day fasting. I’m watching these videos to try to get some additional tips since fasting isn’t an option for me right now.
I helped many people with pregnancy with broth - I would recommend 3 meals in that window to help heal and grow baby .. also meditation.. the fetus can help heal you - my pregnancy with my daughter healed many of my health struggles ... Praying for you
Thank you so much for prayers! Being pregnant definitely hasn’t healed my issues at all. I wish. I’ve been in a flare for 3 months! Still 2 months left! Starting to show some signs of improvement while I see a nutritionist but still struggling quite a bit. I’m not sure what the likelihood of the baby having MCAS is. That’s a great question. I have a 5 year old daughter (also had a horrible flare while pregnant with her). So far, she is extremely healthy! It took me 5 years to be willing to get pregnant again after her and I was hopeful that I wouldn’t flare this time, because I had been doing really well for a long time. Alas! I won’t be getting pregnant again, ha! In the long run it’s worth it. My daughter will now have a sister for the rest of her life and we’ll have another daughter! But my life has been completely upended the past 3 months (and going). I’m lucky to have a strong familial support system to help us through.
Fasting definitely helped me plus a low histamine long term diet. About to start 3/4day fasting once month for 6months. Apparently it can help reset the mast cells after 5 years of trying alot of stuff lm wiling to give it a go just to help. I am someone who fasts anyway so am thinking what have l got to loose. I will be speak to my doctor before l start next month( ld get knowhere if l just relied on my G.P, they just don't get it)
Agree! I'm taking 8 mgs. DAO with each meal and feel better than I've felt in decades. I can still eat healthy foods this way, but make sure I don't eat more than one high histamine food at the same meal and limit the amount of those foods.
@@YamiP12 helped me and I had chronic fatigue, from sibo/gut dysbiosis and severe mould. Although it made me angry , which is probably cuz of my low iron .
Because it takes a load off your methylation. If creatine helps you, you should look at what nutrient deficiencies caused the undermethylation in the first place. Were you on a specific diet developing these issues? How are you now?
Where do you feel limbic system dysregulation, trauma and all those other aspects come into play here? I see many recover fully by working on their limbic and nervous system. Without even doing anything on the physiological side.
I know that limbic system dysregulation or nervous system dysregulation is what I call it can cause a lot of problems chronic illness and allergy attacks too
@annettediberardino6628 it looks like finding teachers to guide you through the emotional and physical healing modalities. so, do not self teach the following, but find a teacher. psychotherapy, physical therapy, biofeedback, trigger point massage, accupuncture, mindfulness meditation, visualization meditation, martial arts, weight lifting, body building, low intensity exercize, yoga, hot yoga, Journaling, and most importantly, addressing all physical pain in the moment of the experience, and finding doctors to treat your physical conditions.
Thank you for your information means a lot for us people - mostly *healthy* (not talking of MCAD) but with quite a number of unconfortable symptoms. I wants to reduce use of AH medication- esp. I feel that if I have had an overload and was not able to sleep- and I take a AH generation 1, I will sleep but feel like a hangover.. like the body tells you: "hey you accelerated me and now you want to brake me and decelerate... and I do not get it..." I am happy to see that nettle tea helps prophylactic, fasting did not really help, and silicium earth helps and argile cleans the gut and reduce the length it says inside one... all the sneezing, diarrhea, heat, etc.. seems like the body wants to get rid of all this asap.. no?
Thank you for this video. I do always feel best when I am on low carb/ keto diet. I was able to be well controlled for years by reducing greatly my carb count.
can you take Cromolyn without H1 and H2 blockers. I have always been sensitive and end up with heart racing when taking antihistamine so I can't take them. is it ok to take my Cromolyn when I get it.
Is there any way that you can walk me through healing. You sound very knowledgeable. I am one of those with MCAS who is struggling to take supplements/Meds in order to get better. I am so desperate and am willing to pay you. I have a Tryptase of almost 11 and a Prostaglandin D of 225. Other than that my labs look just fine. I just have several lymph nodes that like to remain over 1cm-2cm. Which I believe is due to the MCAS. I am also doing DNRS to try to calm myself more. I really need help though and Mayo will not see me. Im so desperate for help. My kids need me! I would likely even take a plan if it meant someone might be able to help me.
My daughter had that and our functional neurologist put her Apex Energetics X-FLM. I don’t know if that will help or not. It’s to help with immune system. She’s had POTS.
I know how....it's long ,hard ,but the thing is, if you have toxic mold (which I did and do, worked in and most of us have as people do NOT get their buildings and homes checked!!!!!!!), you'll fill right back up. So, gotta get to the root. Sauna, HBOT, EBOO (blood filtration through a filter and UV light).
I put a dash of tumeric in my coffee and have soymilk organic in the morning, i been dealing with brain fod memory fog in perimenapause , and had covid not that long ago , i also been dealing with teeth issues, I do not take hmt , its been rough , i do fast and change up my diet , i also have a cow milk allergy, this video helps thank you
Hi, carnivor diet, low histamine foods may be helpful. I’m on it, when I started couldn’t handle meat so I was on ketogenic GAPS. It has change my life. No dairy no eggs, cannot add any fermented foods. Has improved brain fog so much. I still cannot do math, but I can read an learn now😊
@@CyborgLady-j7n Thanks for sharing, I cannot have starches, have not digested them for years now. I get slowly better on keto/carnivore. I agree dairy, eggs, shellfish are very triggering so I avoid them. Also fasting triggers MCAS, Lion Diet also made pain and fatigue so much worse. Key for me is to detox slowly
@@CyborgLady-j7nIm pretty sure this is what happened to me too! Looked and felt great on carnivore, but became overreactive to any other kind of food and got histamine intolerance and gut issues!
@@Maria-uw1wqfasting does not trigger MCAS lol, in fact, it usually helps those issues in people. Also, eggs are not triggering for everyone, some of these things depend on the individual…
@@Maria-uw1wqTry listening to her. You need resistant starches. Keto is a band aid, its not getting to the root cause and shouldn’t be done long-term. You need to heal your gut so you can slowly add starches and other foods
spike is a trigger, so the MCAS that was underlying is now more pressured. It may not even be "long covid".....Dr Bruce Patterson tests this......S1 protein. What's "lovely" is this - the shots shed, the kem traylz, etc...... we're always going to be exposed. I had severe cv march 2020 while working as a nurse and I got no help which was torturous and caused a lot of ptsd I'm workng on but anyway, I was also working and living serious mold which ended up being a poop storm of maaaaaany issues at once. I shouldn't be here right now. Anyway, yup, a lot of attacks on us today :( "Good" way to wipe out humanity, huh? I'm always better with sauna, fasting, ivermectin and antihistamines, buuuuuut type I diabetic who can't feel her lows and its not from poor diet, but it makes it all more confusing. What a beast, right?
Has anyone tried red light therapy? I have mcas and am also detoxing from oxalates. I just started with it and I slept 6:56 really well. I also have dry eye and early stage macular degeneration. I also like buterate for IBS and NAC.
Hello, red light therapy does not work that well on my pain because I think I am still consuming too many oxalates or something that is bothering me. I do think red light therapy works decent on the skin.
yes, do you mean anti-histone? My ANA keeps rising but the breakdown for lupus is negative.......there is also so much more 'they' know but don't share (upper echelons of healthcare)
@@jac1161 correct I am negative for everything except high anti-histones. My auto immune doctor has rolled out, drug induce lupus and has now sent me to the UNC long-haul Covid clinic. Apparently Covid can be linked to anti-Stone levels high or also Epstein-Barr. my brain fog and fatigue are debilitating to the point I had to retire.
If I fast and my symptoms become too bad within the first 48hrs, is it safe to take Prednisone to help get me through? Or can it make things worse at all?
In my wife's case, she got much worse when she fasted and went into ketosis. Found out this started when she was entering into menopause it got worse due to the hormone dysregulation.
How can we find someone to work with? Clearly mainstream Medicine is clueless and I have been to three functional Medicine practitioners with no luck getting better. They seem to just find me annoying.
@@jac1161 yes a few years ago I tried NAC. I don't feel well on it. I have learned my aliment for 66 years is a mast cell activation syndrome and poor MTHFR. I must eat low Histamine diet and take DAO enzyme daily to avoid massive neck and back pain and fatigue Plus NMN and Transresveratol. .
Mast cell activation syndrome in long COVID-19 MCAS is characterized by mast cell hyperactivation and excessive chemokine release (histamine, tryptase, carboxypeptidase A, and chymase).
and more! mast cells release1000 chemicals and so do lots of other immune cells. If your liver is slow to detox, then all those chemicals keep interacting with each other doing who knows what ... total chaos!
@@qingdaogrrl more of a reason to do sauna, HBOT, castor oil packs.......it IS chaos! Add this to type I diabetes and it's a full time job, with out pay, only paying OUT to get help and answers.
Dr Paul i have the a unexplained symptoms going on ( Doctors where i live cant help me ) like swallowing difficulty very bad it gets at the end of the day where i struggle with my own saliva and general weakness in my mouth and breathing difficulties as well wheezing with exhale , when i sleep and wake up the morning its better and goes on and on like this pattern , its get better with H1 and H2 antihistamines and Dao enzyme supplements alone , but lately i stop responding to them so i added ketotifen and it was a miracle , I still have it its like anaphylaxis but chronic i have to take ketotifen daily which makes me fat :( IS THIS MCAS ? Am stuck here been to 3 allergy specialist that only says its EOE and i tested for it when all this started its negative , its been a year now :( , I have many other symptoms but that the thing that making my life less happy
This sounds difficult I'm sorry to hear it. Try finding an integrative doctor with the links in the video description. There may be a local integrative doctor you haven't found yet. Make sure to find one and work with your care team, your case sounds complex and you need 1-1 guidance. They can help tell you if it's MCAS or not. -Team Dr. A
I feel you. Even when I don't eat anything it happens. It's very irritating my oxygen level is fine but feels like my throat is swelling up my tongue has bumps and hurts and my lymph nodes feel swollen. I hope you have found more relief
@@juanitahyde1265 Am sorry to hear you going through it as well , i dont have pains or tounge bumps though its just like i forget how to swallow . Its better now with Dao enzyme supplements only .
I had that 5 times, but because I had a severe case of cvd in march 2020, no shots (being left with severe illness and no medical help told me a big NO on the shots, but I was against even the flu shot because I never believed it was about health and safety. as a nurse, and a patient, I saw too much). I don't think the Vit C will help with the shot because you didn't get the infection. The virus is NOT in the shot, only the spikes which are not viral. So, you need to get rid of the spikes. For that, since my antibodies were sky high and still are, 4.5 years later, EBOO (blood filtering), sauna, etc. I'm sorry to hear. It's been so hard for so many of us!!
Thank you Dr. Anderson. Not sure about the sauna, as heat or cold can be a trigger; is it something that should be done when it's stable or just go ahead at any time?
MCAS can cause histamine intolerance. You will notice histamine symptoms from high histamine foods or allergens. MCAS symptoms can be caused from anything and everything, scents, activity, temperature, supplements, the list goes on.
Working in the medical field for 20 years, in the country, MOST people want and even demand pills. That is a huge problem, getting better with younger generations thankfully.
What a stupid thing to say supervised fasting when it’s done every day all day by millions of people that was really unintelligent statement. That’s the problem everybody’s eating constantly all day that should be the focus not unsupervised fasting
@@drzeworyj idk about that. People that get the vaccine and long covid seem to have the same symptoms. I have had covid 2 times before this with no issues. The last one something just shifted. Besides the symptoms of MCAS i have much more and they don’t seem to be going away.
@@SK-jq8um I don’t beleive that at all because I never once had an allergy in my life until I got covid. People keep saying it’s underlying. I don’t see how that’s passively at 30 years old to develop life threatening anaphylactic episodes from a virus that I never once had before this at all. I didn’t even have seasonal allergies. The virus did something where it caused problems. They are showing now that the spike protien keeps binding to the h1 receptor
@@ItBetterBeFast covid is special. it reanimates dormant viruses, bacteria, mold infections. it causes CFS cuz it fits into cortisol receptors. we need more studies!
I think long COVID accelerates an already existing problem with Histamine. I always had a Histamine issue and post COVID it morphed into long COVID and histamine issue is even worse. My body burns, burning feet and fatigue. 😢

Can High dose Vit C IV's help the gut? reduce candida symptoms? Going in for 6-8 rounds severely v injured.
I had that 5 times, but because I had a severe case of cvd in march 2020, no shots (being left with severe illness and no medical help told me a big NO on the shots, but I was against even the flu shot because I never believed it was about health and safety. as a nurse, and a patient, I saw too much). I don't think the Vit C will help with the shot because you didn't get the infection. The virus is NOT in the shot, only the spikes which are not viral. So, you need to get rid of the spikes. For that, since my antibodies were sky high and still are, 4.5 years later, EBOO (blood filtering), sauna, etc. I'm sorry to hear. It's been so hard for so many of us!!
@@jac1161 Have you heard of new drug that helps get rid of toxins. Ck out react 19 andrew campbell. Think I'm doing the tests
What is the source of the specific image at 8:21 that shows the immune system cells?
Heat is a trigger for mast cells and should be avoided
Huge trigger..as is humidity for me...but also very cold is problematic...hmmmm where to live???
This is why I don't want to be deported, life would be impossible for me
Thank you Dr. Anderson. Not sure about the sauna, as heat or cold can be a trigger; is it something that should be done when it's stable or just go ahead at any time?
I am having trouble with temperature regulation.
Is histamine intolerance same as mast cell disorder?
No it is not
How can we determine on our own if it’s mast cell disorder or histamine intolerance? The symptoms for both overlap.
MCAS can cause histamine intolerance. You will notice histamine symptoms from high histamine foods or allergens. MCAS symptoms can be caused from anything and everything, scents, activity, temperature, supplements, the list goes on.
Ketotifen! Singulair! Xolair! In addition, check to make sure you don't have Hashimoto's or other autoimmune condition or immune deficiencies.
Did you have side effects from ketotifen?
Sauna?? But heat triggers mcas?
Nobody wants a drug to heal themselves.
I do, I could live a full meaningful life.
Working in the medical field for 20 years, in the country, MOST people want and even demand pills. That is a huge problem, getting better with younger generations thankfully.
Right lol, That's all the lazy zombies do is take pills...
Why no ? 😂
Fasting! No meds or supplements either?
Have someone here who have this problem with histamin ,who not take covid vakcine ? Or just peoples have problem who is vakcinated?
Why is it that people with MCAS burn antioxidants in their system faster then people who don't have it? Why is that?
because the antioxidants are trying to help put out fire so they get used up in the process
likely because it's harder at work to try to clear it so you blow through reserves
❤🙏🏼
What a stupid thing to say supervised fasting when it’s done every day all day by millions of people that was really unintelligent statement. That’s the problem everybody’s eating constantly all day that should be the focus not unsupervised fasting
Omg...
Your videos are a lot of talking, but provide us with zero information about exact products or remedies. Not helpful really.

So for long covid, it seems the spike protein is hanging in the body and we can’t detox it so we basically get MCAS?
that's just one of the theories. you might have had a genetic predisposition for it and borderline symptoms throughout your life in the first place.
@@drzeworyj idk about that. People that get the vaccine and long covid seem to have the same symptoms. I have had covid 2 times before this with no issues. The last one something just shifted. Besides the symptoms of MCAS i have much more and they don’t seem to be going away.
@@joealitz4157agreed . Certain section of long Covid pll have Al similar issues like mcas , muscle twitching autoimmune issues hypermobility
You likely had MCAS it just wasn't triggered enough for a response. It usually shows up after a spinal injury or severe sickness.
@@SK-jq8um I don’t beleive that at all because I never once had an allergy in my life until I got covid. People keep saying it’s underlying. I don’t see how that’s passively at 30 years old to develop life threatening anaphylactic episodes from a virus that I never once had before this at all.
I didn’t even have seasonal allergies. The virus did something where it caused problems. They are showing now that the spike protien keeps binding to the h1 receptor

That’s what it sounds

@@ItBetterBeFast covid is special. it reanimates dormant viruses, bacteria, mold infections. it causes CFS cuz it fits into cortisol receptors. we need more studies!
I think long COVID accelerates an already existing problem with Histamine. I always had a Histamine issue and post COVID it morphed into long COVID and histamine issue is even worse. My body burns, burning feet and fatigue. 😢
@@01maggie histamine messed me up for a while, couldn’t have anything high histamine with heart palpitations, dizziness, dpdr, tremors, etc. wierd stuff….
