America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Peter McCullough and Malcolm Out Loud – Is Dr McCullough aware of increased levels of Alpha-Gal Syndrome? I have one concern regarding curcumin. I heard from a doctor that curcumin inhibits natural RNase L, an enzyme that degrades RNA, including exogenous mRNA. Could you enlighten me on that, as surely we'd want to speed that process?

Ep 238 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into Jeff Bezos' role in the beef industry, the end of a 200-year-old publication, and why your FFA jacket just became a fashion statement. The hosts tackle viral claims about methane-reducing feed additives for cattle, separating Bill Gates' investments from Bezos' initiatives. They discuss the Bovaer controversy in Denmark where farmers are now required to use methane-reducing supplements, and explore the tension between environmental responsibility and farmer autonomy. Plus, the Farmer's Almanac is publishing its final edition after 206 years, FFA jackets have become the hottest vintage fashion item, and the hosts reveal why your Costco pecans are at least a year old. Stick around for a disco debrief on the first documented US death from Alpha-Gal Syndrome (the tick-borne meat allergy), plus a deep dive into the pecan supply chain. Spoiler: the US grows 80% of the world's pecans, but we ship them to Mexico to be shelled, then import them back. The food supply chain is wild, and the hosts break down why "fresh" is complicated. What We Discovered This Week

In this episode we dive into the strange and fascinating world of Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), the delayed meat allergy that can appear after a tick bite. We talk through what AGS actually is, how ticks (lone star, blacklegged and western blacklegged ticks) introduce it into the body, and why some people develop an allergic reaction hours after eating red meat. You will hear about the symptoms people notice most often and the practical steps you can take to protect yourself from this unusual tickborne illness.Citations: A Review of Alpha-Gal Syndrome for the Infectious Diseases Practitioner - PMCAbout Alpha-gal Syndrome | Alpha-gal Syndrome | CDCPreventing Tick Bites | Ticks | CDCWhat You Need to Know about PermethrinWhat to Do After a Tick Bite | Ticks | CDCRepellents: Protection against Mosquitoes, Ticks and Other Arthropods | US EPALegal:This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Something on your mind? Erica & Jules would love to hear from you! In this episode, Erica interviews Debbie and Candice of Two Alpha Gals. These "gals" are about the sweetest nicest smartest kindest women around. And they both happen to have Alpha-Gal Syndrome. This means they both can't have mammalian meat - like beef or pork - or animal by-products like dairy or gelatin. Heck, they can't even have red algae (not because it's a meat, but you'll have to listen to the episode to find out why). We met the two gals at the FAACT Summit and we got to know them a little better and asked them about their new foundation, and what it's really like to live with AGS! "We're using our journey with alpha-gal syndrome to seek new and exciting ways to live with our diagnosis without sacrificing JOY.

You have heard of Lyme disease but have you heard of Alpha Gal Syndrome? It is another condition caused by a tick bite but the symptoms are arguably much worse - becoming allergic to red meat! Affecting over 450,000 Americans, not being able to eat red meat can cause a cascade of downstream effects due to nutrient deficiency. In this episode Dette Avalon, author of The Ultimate Guide to Alpha Gal Syndrome, explains what it is and the devastation it causes. While there is no one magic bullet for it that we know of yet, Dr Stephanie Seneff PhD joins us to make the link between Alpha Gal and glyphosate toxicity. We talk about mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and its connection to alpha gal and glyphosate, the importance of a healthy microbiome, the impact of "cross reactive proteins", the benefits of sauerkraut, the mitochondria and deuterium link, the importance of vitamin D and cholesterol, and other solutions that they've found.

This week, Dr. Kahn reviews a strange and increasingly common condition affecting nearly half a million Americans: Alpha-Gal Syndrome, also known as red meat allergy. First described in 2009, this syndrome can cause serious allergic reactions and is often misdiagnosed—despite the fact that a simple blood test can confirm it. The condition is triggered by bites from certain ticks, most notably the Lone Star Tick. Because many vitamins, medications, and medical products contain animal-derived components, reactions can even occur in medical and dental settings. Learn more at PillClarity.org.  Short topics this week include: whole grains for lower blood pressure, lifestyle approaches to prevent atrial fibrillation, the fasting-mimicking diet and exercise for reversing prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes, and new trends in U.S. heart disease statistics.

One day, you're enjoying a beautiful hike through the tall grass. A few months later, you find yourself in anaphylaxis from a post-hike hamburger. The culprit: a tick bite. In this much-requested episode, we take on alpha-gal syndrome, the red meat allergy triggered by the bite of a tick. Sometimes science is stranger than fiction. How exactly does an encounter with a tiny arachnid cause your throat to swell up and your skin break out into hives hours after eating red meat? Is it all red meat? Is it all ticks? How on earth did anyone even make this connection in the first place? Those are just a few of the questions we answer in this action-packed episode that has us venturing into surprising topics, like primate evolution, ancient epidemics, and cancer treatments.

Filet Mignon, Pork Loin, Rib-Eye….all delicious (unless you are vegetarian)! If you are a meat- eater, be aware of AGS. Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), also known as Red Meat Allergy, is a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that can occur after a tick bite from a Lone Star tick or other tick species. While clustering within the US, Alpha-gal syndrome is found on every continent except Antarctica. With the tick bite, the tick transfers alpha-gal, a sugar molecule found in most mammals, into the person's bloodstream. The body then produces antibodies to fight the alpha-gal, which can trigger an allergic reaction when the person eats meat from a mammal or is exposed to other products containing alpha-gal. It's named for a molecule, galactose-α-1,3-galactose, that's found in most mammals but not in humans. According to the CDC, the overall prevalence is increasing. In this episode, we will review this allergic condition, the animal-based foods that may trigger it, and what the implications are during pregnancy.

Ever heard of a tick meat allergy (also known more formally as alpha-gal syndrome)? This is caused by the bite of a very specific type of tick which then triggers an allergy to mammalian meat (that comes from cows, pigs, sheep, etc.).Alpha-gal syndrome is different to other food allergies. Take peanut allergies, for example. Symptoms like hives and wheezing typically show up very quickly after consuming peanuts or peanut-containing foods.If you have an alpha-gal allergy, it usually takes a few hours between meat consumption and the onset of symptoms. This can make it very tricky to diagnose.Because an alpha meat allergy is not just to one type of animal, it causes a significant diet change AND is tricky when it comes to picking supplements (as this type of allergy isn't on the top 9 allergen list).Joining me to shed some light on alpha gal mammalian meat allergy is Dr. David Fitzhugh, an allergist/immunologist in private practice in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.He specializes in food immunotherapy for children and adults with severe food allergies but treats a wide variety of allergic and immunologic conditions, including allergic rhinitis, asthma, atopic dermatitis, mast cell disorders, and anaphylaxis.In This Episode:What is alpha-gal syndrome and what triggers it?Tick meat allergy originsWho is at risk for alpha-gal allergy?How is alpha-gal syndrome diagnosed?Alpha-gal allergy symptomsWhat is pork-cat syndrome?Timeline from tick bite to triggering alpha-gal allergy symptomsAlpha-gal syndrome and dairy: Is it problem?Medications to avoid if you have alpha-gal syndromeIs there treatment available for alpha meat allergy?Quotes“You have to live where the tick is prevalent, number one. And number two, you know the typical person that we might see with alpha-gal tends to be someone who spends a lot of time outdoors because those are people that are getting tick bites…And again I'll reinforce, of course, not everybody who gets bit by Lone Star Tick develops alpha-gal.”“Patients, in my experience, they have this sort of palmar-plantar itching, right? They complain of itching on the palms of their hands, soles of their feet, and then sometimes hives erupt, and then sometimes mild GI symptoms. My stomach was a little upset. I felt a little queasy, but sometimes overt, significant diarrhea and vomiting.”LinksFind Dr. Fitzhugh onlineHealthy Skin Show ep. 339: How Sensitive Are You?: Best Test For Food Allergy (IgE) Sensitivity w/ Dr. David FitzhughHealthy Skin Show ep. 056: Hidden Lyme Disease And Your Skin w/ Dr. Darin IngelsHigh-risk groups for alpha-gal sensitizationSuccessful Treatment for Alpha Gal Mammal Product Allergy Using Auricular Acupuncture: A Case SeriesA Guide for People with Alpha-gal SyndromeCDC – Products That May Contain Alpha-galHealth Care Provider Knowledge Regarding Alpha-gal Syndrome

Why You Should Listen:  In this episode, you will learn about heavy metals, metal allergy, and Type IV delayed hypersensitivity responses.  About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Shari Guess.  Shari Guess almost died from severe allergies due to metal hypersensitivity after a litany of orthopedic surgeries, all performed within a few short years, which implanted a large amount of metal and dental hardware in her body.  At the time she got sick, she was working as a full-time realtor and attending college, studying pre-med, hoping to eventually become a Physician's Assistant.  After being bedridden for nearly 3 years and feverishly researching everything she could to help find out the cause of her severe systemic symptoms, she had a lucky break in the case and was able to connect the dots with all of her symptoms. Suddenly everything made sense!  Shari has undergone numerous surgeries to date to remove and revise hardware. These surgeries have restored her to near-full health as the symptoms related to her metal allergies began to subside by leaps and bounds immediately following the procedures.  While in the thick of her illness, due to a compromised immune system, she also acquired Lyme Disease, Alpha Gal Syndrome, and several other autoimmune diseases.  Shari is blessed to have been able to put almost all of that behind her, experiencing near complete relief from the symptoms of Lyme and co-infections after LymeStop treatment in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, along with the restoration of her immune system through the removal of the metals and implementing limbic system retraining. Key Takeaways: - What is a Type IV hypersensitivity reaction? - What is the difference between a Type IV hypersensitivity reaction to heavy metals and a mast cell reaction? - Is there an overlap between metal hypersensitivity and autoimmunity? - What role do medical implants play in triggering metal hypersensitivity? - Can IUDs or hernia mesh trigger type IV hypersensitivity reactions? - Might metal allergy play a role in Stiff Person Syndrome? - Should titanium dioxide in supplements be avoided? - Might heavy metals lead to EMF hypersensitivity or EHS? - Is gadolinium toxigenic or immunogenic or both? - What is MELISA testing? - What is patch testing? - Can detoxification of heavy metals be done too aggressively? - Is there a place for immune modulation in dealing with metal allergy? - How might tools like LDN, LDA, or LDI be helpful? - What is the role of the low nickel diet in metal allergy?
