Podcasts about antihistamines

Max Trescott interviews Dr. John Trowbridge, a physician and former senior Aviation Medical Examiner, to tackle a hidden yet critical safety topic: how over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medications contribute to general aviation accidents. Studies have found that up to 40% of fatal accidents involve pilots with impairing substances in their system—ranging from allergy medications to sleep aids to alcohol. The problem? Many of these substances are legal and even commonplace, yet can significantly degrade judgment, memory, attention, and coordination. Dr. Trowbridge emphasizes that many pilots—and even their doctors—are unaware of FAA wait-time guidelines. He explains the FAA's “5x rule,” which states that a pilot must wait five times the recommended dosage interval before flying. So if a medication is taken every six hours, the pilot should wait 30 hours after the last dose. For 24-hour medications like Zyrtec, the wait time stretches to five full days. The discussion highlights the particular dangers of first-generation antihistamines like Benadryl (diphenhydramine), which are highly sedating and frequently found in sleep aids like Tylenol PM, NyQuil, and Unisom. These medications, even when taken the night before, can impair cognitive function well into the next day. Alarmingly, Benadryl is the most commonly detected OTC drug in fatal GA accidents. Dr. Trowbridge also warns about second-generation antihistamines like Zyrtec and Xyzal. While marketed as “non-drowsy,” these can still cause subtle sedation, especially in combination with alcohol or other medications. Alternatives like Allegra and Claritin are usually safer and FAA-approved—but only after personal ground-testing and AME consultation. Beyond antihistamines, they explore other drug categories. For pain relief, medications like aspirin, Tylenol, ibuprofen, and Aleve are generally safe, but anything with “PM” on the label likely contains sedating ingredients. Prescription painkillers like codeine are outright disqualifying. Dr. Trowbridge shares unconventional options too, like topical lidocaine, coconut oil, and even horse liniment—though with cautions about application and legality. Sleep aids are another minefield. Melatonin is the only one on the FAA's “go list,” and even it should be ground-tested first. Nasal decongestants such as Afrin and Sudafed can raise blood pressure and cause jitteriness, making natural remedies like saline rinses or cool vapor inhalation preferable. Cough medications also pose risks. Products with dextromethorphan (like DayQuil or Delsym) can sedate, as can multi-symptom formulas marked “PM” or “nighttime.” Gastrointestinal issues are more straightforward: most antacids like Tums and Maalox are safe, but anti-diarrheals like Imodium are not, due to sedation risks. UTIs are covered with non-sedating options like AZO and D-Mannose, but Dr. Trowbridge cautions pilots never to fly if symptomatic or on unfamiliar antibiotics. The conversation then turns to alcohol. The FAA's limit is 0.04%, but even lower levels can impair judgment, night vision, and reaction time—especially when combined with other medications or altitude-related hypoxia. Max cites an older FAA study showing that alcohol above 0.04% was found in 7% of fatal pilot crashes, with 3% involving both alcohol and drugs. Finally, Dr. Trowbridge emphasizes the importance of pilot self-awareness and due diligence. Most doctors are not trained in FAA regulations and may prescribe disqualifying medications unless reminded. He urges pilots to always research their medications, consult their AME, and even speak with pharmacists about interactions and cognitive side effects. Dr. Trowbridge's website, ClearedForTakeoff.info, offers in-depth presentations on pilot health concerns like sleep, sinus issues, inflammation, and safe alternatives to disqualifying drugs. His goal is to help pilots avoid both illness and medication risks, empowering them to stay flying—and stay safe.

What if one compound could dramatically reduce allergic reactions, inflammation, and even medication overload for chronically ill individuals? In this episode, pharmacist Bryana Gregory shares the exciting news of a recent publication in the Journal of Independent Medicine spotlighting the repurposed compound Amlexanox. Originally developed to treat mouth ulcers, Amlexanox has shown powerful anti-inflammatory and mast cell-stabilizing effects, making it a promising alternative to steroids and antihistamines, especially for patients suffering from conditions like Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), asthma, and autoimmunity.   Bryana highlights the dramatic transformation of a 60-year-old guest at the Hotze Health & Wellness Center. This patient, who previously relied on 81 medications and supplements, experienced a significant reduction in symptoms and a tapering down to just 17 medications after introducing Amlexanox. The compound worked to stabilize immune responses, reduce histamine overload, and ease inflammatory symptoms without the side effects commonly associated with steroids. Its broader effects have also included improved blood sugar, brain fog, neuropathy, and even weight loss. With a growing body of evidence and support from independent physicians, Amlexanox is gaining recognition as a trusted, natural solution worth exploring.   Watch now and subscribe to our podcasts at www.HotzePodcast.com.

Have you ever wondered whether fexofenadine (Allegra®) really doesn't make you drowsy? In this episode of The Itch Review, we dissect a July 2024 systematic review from Current Medical Research & Opinion, “Why fexofenadine is considered a truly non-sedating antihistamine with no brain penetration.”  This rigorous systematic review pools over 60 human studies from PET brain-scan trials and Proportional Impairment Ratio (PIR) tests to driving-simulator research and real-world quality-of-life surveys. It looks to answer one question: Does fexofendine ever sneak past the blood–brain barrier and slow you down like first-generation allergy meds? This episode looks at the evolution of H1 antihistamines from first-generation drugs like diphenhydramine to today's second-generation options (cetirizine, loratadine, and fexofenadine) to show how each interacts with the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and why that matters for sedation. We highlight the review's key studies: PET Imaging: Measuring H1-receptor occupancy. Fexofenadine registers

In this episode of the School of Doza podcast, we explore how to LOWER Your Histamine Levels Naturally!. Nurse Doza breaks down common high-histamine triggers, why your symptoms may be tied to gut health, and how to support your body naturally—without relying solely on medication. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Hidden sources of histamine are often found in your everyday diet and environment. Gut dysfunction is one of the biggest reasons histamine levels stay elevated. Stress and inflammation can worsen histamine intolerance symptoms. Antihistamines aren't the only solution—natural detox pathways play a major role. Supporting liver and gallbladder function is key to keeping histamine levels in check. The Good Poops Protocol is a full-body protocol that supports the gut, liver, and gallbladder—three major players in regulating histamine naturally. Whether you're struggling with bloating, skin issues, or seasonal flare-ups, this protocol helps you reset digestion, support detox pathways, and feel better from the inside out.

Neurobiologist Jamie Zeitzer is an expert on sleep – or, more accurately, an expert on why so many can't sleep. He notes that, ironically, it's often anxiety about sleep that prevents good sleep. In short, we lose sleep over lost sleep. Wearables and other tools can help but only to a point, and medications do not induce natural sleep. Instead, he counsels consistent routines, less stimulation at bedtime, and cognitive behavioral therapy to reduce worry about insomnia. Unfortunately, you can't work harder to get better sleep – you have to learn to relax, Zeitzer tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Seasonal allergies seem to be getting worse. A lot of people are feeling it now.It's common to reach for antihistamines without really thinking about it. They definitely have their place and can be really helpful when symptoms are bad. But taking them every day is something we still don't fully understand, especially when it comes to long-term effects.If you deal with allergies for months each year, it's worth pausing and exploring strategies that might be more sustainable.Many healthy habits that support overall health can also help manage inflammation, immune function and allergy symptoms. They're not always as quick as taking a capsule, but they can make a real difference over time.In this episode, I'm sharing:Why seasonal allergies seem to be getting worseThe role and potential risks of antihistamines5 daily habits that could ease allergy/hay fever symptomsQuick note about nettle: I didn't find much strong research, but that doesn't mean it couldn't help some people.

Histamine is often misunderstood. It's blamed for allergies, hives, and frustrating symptoms like flushing, itching, and congestion. But histamine itself isn't the problem - it's a symptom of a deeper issue.Your gut plays a crucial role in regulating histamine. It houses the bacteria that break it down and keep it in balance. But when the gut is imbalanced, harmful bacteria and yeast take over, inflammation rises, and histamine starts to build up faster than your body can clear it. The result? Chronic allergic responses, food sensitivities, headaches, and even more severe reactions.And here's what most doctors won't tell you - antihistamines don't fix the root cause. While they can be life-saving in severe situations, they work by suppressing symptoms, not by addressing the underlying imbalance. Over time, they can actually make histamine intolerance worse by further disrupting the gut microbiome.You don't have to live in fear of food or rely on medication forever. You can heal.In this episode, I'll walk you through:The real reason histamine builds up in the body (hint: it's not just about your diet).Why long-term antihistamine use can make histamine intolerance worse.How to rebalance your gut so your body can regulate histamine the way it was designed to.If histamine issues have left you feeling stuck, this episode is for you. Tune in now to learn how to restore balance, support your microbiome, and take back control of your health.If you or your child have been on antihistamines, don't stop based on this episode—listen, learn, and empower yourself with knowledge.

Ep075: Does back to school season hit you hard, too?Why is it so hard and triggering and exhausting to go back to school (even if you're not a student or have a student in your life right now)? And what is this idea, “pervasive demand avoidance” (or a persistent drive to autonomy) and how can it crop up during massive transition times?  David and Isabelle come back from a summer spent working on exciting new Something Shiny resources and describe some of the demands that may be filling up your slots this time of year. Also included: tangential journeys involving the cinematic classic “Legend,” deep cut Disney songs a la Tim Curry, and Isabelle's allergy medicine hallucination moment.—-David and Isabelle welcome fall and the new school year, complete with the way germs start circulating and sick days shoot up once the school year kicks in, and then histamine levels and allergy medicines. There may be some links between antihistamines and psychiatric symptoms (see link below!). Isabelle describes a hallucination she had when taking a commonly prescribed allergy medicine, referencing the Tom Cruise movie, Legend. This brings up how intense children's movies were back in the day, where kids were in real mortal danger a lot and awful things happened a lot. David recalls how intense Willy Wonka was, with the kids getting killed and then the tunnel sequence, which leads to Isabelle remembering how she shopped a class in college about children's literature and it was all about Roald Dahl and how he hated childhood and was bullied and just dealt with a lot of things that made him hate kids. So, returning to Isabelle's hallucination, she wakes up from a sleep, she sees Tim Curry in Legend demon costume asking if she has anything to eat, and she knows she's hallucinating, but it was in the room. She hears him working in the kitchen. She then sees a pig walk in with human hands for feet, she wakes up, she is fully awake, the pig fades away, and she walks into the kitchen, and I say “You're not real, I'm hallucinating” and he says “of course.” Also, it was almost morning, light was in the space, this wasn't sleep paralysis or lucid dream, she fixed breakfast, called the doctor, and stopped taking this medicine immediately. Of course she told the whole story to the doctor because of course these details would be important. David names how strange the brain is and all the connections are. And this links up to an amazing CD put out by Disney where Tim Curry sings a Davy Crockett song. David was tormented by this song in elementary school, and they would make fun of him by singing this song at him, but why did this bother him actually? Isabelle recalls that back to school season as more triggering than she realized, she would use the relationship with her teacher to accommodate her, to do the hard things and ask for extensions and try and be. The teacher at her kids' school was not picking up on her big hand gestures and quirk and charm, so two questions: 1) back to school season being triggering? And 2) when there is a vacuum, she becomes a cartoon character, as their previous guest Ren, brought up. Going back to school is so complicated; David notices that when he sees the back to school supplies on sale, it was a “gulp,” it always meant more work for him, the break being over. Now that he is not in school anymore, it has become a bit more of a “haha, I don't have to do that anymore.” But regardless he wants to point out that neurotypical or neurodivergent alike, this is a time of intense transitions, beginnings and endings, and routine changes, and waking up earlier (for parents and kids and even fellow commuters who suddenly have to notice when school is in session on their traffic routes), it is a hard, hard time. It's highly activating on a nervous system level, and germ load aside, kids will need down time and fatiguing and the adjustment period. This brings up the idea of cognitive demands on us—hold up ten fingers, and each slot is taken up with a task or a load: “buying school supplies,” “I'm sad my kid and I won't have the same together,” and “I gotta change my morning routine” — in the face of so many demands, things become a can't, not a won't. In the face of so many demands, I actually can't do any more, even a pleasant thing, everything is one ask too many or one step too much. And some people don't have ten slots, they have two—for example, a kid being ushered into a transition, even like three requests of a parent is actually too many demands, and they respond with “I don't wanna” but also what's in there is they cannot. They can do more, but with help. They're going to get crispy and ragey, you become oppositional, pick fights, it looks like a sensory overload, or a shutdown, I am going to avoid anything that I perceive as a demand. David not sure how he feels about this diagnostic label because when we're overwhelmed, we SHOULD react this way. Video of how it felt for a person who is autistic went into a grocery store, the screen started to pixelate the farther into the store they got, it was like a satellite's images during a storm. David gets into a place where he goes “NOPE” and it comes from a place where he has nothing left. Is he pathologically demand avoidant, but aren't we all? Actually isn't this a common thing we share across. Isabelle is going into neuropsychological testing with her family to update things, and carries a lot of curiosity going into it about sensory stuff, and wants to welcome it. You see it reflected in people around you, and ton of people around her identify as being on the autism spectrum and oh, that is where she finds her tribe. For her learning about PDA is the closest she's come to for resetting her expectations for herself, and “oh, I'm not just trying to avoid hard work,” it's “oh, I ran out of spoons and slots, I had no bandwidth.” David names that this is a thing that connects with neurodiversity and not being resourced. Power struggles are going to be activating all the time, and just because a power struggle is happening is not PDA—but on the autism spectrum, sound, texture, movement is filling the slots, too. It can help illustrate that it's important to lower the demands and help your kid (or yourself) by meeting yourself with compassion. David and Isabelle also mention that they are working on a energy bar idea…more to come!Antihistamines connecting to psychiatric side effects, like hallucinationsLegend (1985, starring Tom Cruise) trailer- Tim Curry is the voice...and shows up around 0:48.

This episode is a quick-fire round covering the misunderstood aspects of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), a condition that perplexes many due to its spontaneous nature. With over 1.7 million people affected, it's more common than you might think and deserves a closer look. Despite its prevalence, many misconceptions persist about what causes CSU, its symptoms, and how it can be treated. Kortney and Dr. Gupta tackle the myths and misconceptions around CSU. Unpacking its impacts on quality of life and the challenges those living with the condition face. They explore the realities of living with CSU, from the pervasive itch to the emotional toll it can take. Whether you're a patient, caregiver, or healthcare professional, this episode offers valuable insights into the realities of managing CSU. This podcast was made in partnership with Allergy & Asthma Network. We thank Novartis for sponsoring this podcast. The chronic spontaneous urticaria myths and misconceptions we cover in our episode CSU is caused by allergies. CSU is contagious. CSU is a rare condition. CSU is not a serious condition. Stress is the main cause of CSU. CSU only affects the skin. CSU will go away quickly. There isn't any treatment for chronic hives. Antihistamines are the only treatment for CSU. Changing your diet will help CSU. CSU can be cured. Once CSU goes away, it will never come back again. Men and women are equally affected by CSU. You can always pinpoint the exact cause of hives in patients with CSU. Autoimmune conditions are more common in people with CSU. Scratching hives is harmless. Once my hives are controlled, I need to be on the medication forever. All hives look the same. Only adults get CSU. CSU hives are always accompanied by other allergic symptoms like swelling or difficulty breathing. Having CSU doesn't affect quality of life. The itch in CSU is not a big deal. Allergy testing will help me figure out why I have CSU.

With more of us suffering with seasonal allergies, myself included, we need better strategies to prevent the symptoms without relying on medications. The reason why is because there may be potential side effects with antihistamines that people pop every single day for months on end.On today's episode I dive into preventive measures to mitigate our use of these products & keep them for when we really need them. I also touch on the potential harms of commonly used, over the counter medications to make you more aware of the issues and how to avoid potential side effects and longer term impacts on your health.

In this episode:During allergy season many use antihistamine medications as a means of controlling their symptoms. Emerging evidence suggests that there may be a cost to this practice in the form of decreased endurance performance. On the Medical Mailbag we look at the evidence. Jonathan Su is a long time physical therapist who has written a book that he promises can be a 6-minute solution to knee pain. We discuss his book and the methods that he describes within it.Segments:[12:22]- Medical Mailbag: Antihistamines[36:57]- Interview: Jonathan Su LinksJonathan's Website 6-Minute Knee Pain Cure on Amazon

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q Del Rosso, DO, engages in a comprehensive discussion with Jason Hawkes, MD, MS, FAAD, a medical dermatologist in Rocklin, CA, on chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). They discuss CSU's position in the spectrum of urticarial conditions, explore differential diagnoses and treatment strategies, and offer a wealth of valuable insights into this complex disease. They begin by defining urticaria as a collection of conditions, explaining that this is often not well-delineated in textbooks or literature. Dr Hawkes categorizes urticaria into acute and chronic types, with chronic further divided into chronic inducible urticaria, which results from an identifiable trigger, and chronic spontaneous urticaria, which has no clear cause. They then explore differential diagnoses for CSU, including drug-induced urticarial reactions and conditions like mastocytosis or urticarial bullous pemphigoid that require thorough consideration. Transitioning to treatment strategies, they evaluate the use of systemic corticosteroids like prednisone for short-term relief in patients with CSU, taking into account reservations about long-term efficacy and potential side effects. Antihistamines are also highlighted for their rapid action, with Dr Hawkes encouraging prompt dosage adjustments if initial doses are ineffective. The conversation shifts to omalizumab, an injectable anti-IgE monoclonal antibody that has waned in popularity among dermatologists due to practical limitations and concerns over anaphylaxis risk. However, it is highlighted as a very effective treatment option for many patients with CSU, as it is amenable to office administration with low rates of anaphylaxis in real-world practice and has a broad consensus for use in guidelines. They conclude by touching on newer therapies in development that target alternative mechanisms, such as BTK and SYK inhibitors, which will broaden the therapeutic alternatives for patients with CSU. Tune into the full episode to gain a deeper understanding of CSU and glean invaluable insights into the nuances of this multifaceted condition.

Dr Glenn McConell chats with Professor Wim Derave from the Ghent University in Belgium. We talked about the different muscle fibres/fiber types in humans and his recent evidence that pure Type 2X muscle fibers may not really exist or maybe only in some sedentary individuals. He also made the point that muscle fiber type info is not used enough in sports contexts. He outlined some non invasive ways of estimating your muscle fibre types. Finally we discussed remarkable and important findings that antihistamines may reduce some exercise training adaptations. A very interesting, long chat. Twitter: @TeamDerave.0:00.

In this episode, I want to help you be prepared to fend off viruses so you can get back to doing what you love faster. This includes cold viruses, flu viruses, COVID, and other viruses causing issues like sinusitis, laryngitis, bronchitis—any inflammatory issue in the upper respiratory tract or lungs. Especially now, during cold and flu season, these are the things I make sure I have on hand when traveling or at home. I want to prevent catching a virus, but also help my body fight it off quickly if I do get sick. Here are several reasons why: First, I want to recover faster to resume my usual daily activities. When you feel congested, have a headache, sore throat and are tired, it's hard to do your normal routine even from home. I want to recover faster to spend time with loved ones. When sick, I can't be around my granddaughter or go to dance class. I want to get better to do what I love. Also, I want to try to prevent needing antibiotics or steroids if possible. Antibiotics disrupt gut bacteria, causing leaky gut and susceptibility to other health issues. It's better to avoid them unless the infection is bacterial. Steroids like prednisone disrupt blood sugar, metabolism, immunity and adrenal function. If necessary, we need them, but better to avoid side effects using natural anti-inflammatories to heal faster. My third goal is to prevent the next infection. Catching one virus makes you prone to more. Patients tell me they get infection after infection spending winter sick. I want you to recover fully the first time to avoid getting sick again. This includes what to do after to prevent the next infection. So, our main goals are: · Recover faster to resume daily activities and time with loved ones · Avoid antibiotics and steroids if possible · Prevent the next infection Recognizing the First Signs of Viral Illness It's important to pick up on your own body's typical first symptoms that a viral illness is starting to take hold. Common early symptoms are sore or scratchy throat, sneezing, congestion, feeling feverish, and fatigue. When these symptoms first appear, it's a sign your immune system is ramping up and fighting off an infection. The earlier you take notice and start to support your body, the milder the illness will be. Delaying just a few days allows the virus to proliferate and prolongs recovery time. Some people may not show obvious early symptoms however. If your immune system is sluggish, the virus can multiply for days before you feel sick. In this case you can take immune-enhancing supplements preventively when you know you have had viral exposures. This compensates for a slower immune response. How to Take Action at the First Sign of Illness Pay attention to symptoms—your body's first signals. Think back to when you last got sick—you likely had less sleep, more stress, sugar and alcohol. Immunity decreases, infections increase. We tend to go into denial, wishing we won't get sick despite a sore throat and congestion. It's better if we notice the symptoms quickly so we can act fast. Take action at the first inkling of illness, even if exposed to someone sick. Delaying worsens and lengthens it. When sick, immediately prioritize how to get more rest. At the first sign, cancel plans saying you caught a virus and need to heal. Then care for yourself using these steps to recover faster. Get some sun for vitamin D, even 10 minutes helps. Sauna with red light therapy is great. Light signals aid immunity. Have remedies on hand versus ordering when sick. Start immediately at first signs. Quick action is key to shorten recovery time. Contact my office if you need help with dosing. Choose healthy foods—chicken soup, bone broth, chicken, turkey for protein. Salads, veggies, fruits contain antioxidants and vitamins. Avoid dairy and gluten which are inflammatory. Consider pre-made organic soups if you don't feel well enough to cook. Protein shakes work well—pea or bone broth protein. Eat small meals every 3-4 hours, even if appetite decreases. Stay hydrated. Avoid sugar and alcohol which decrease immunity. Get outside for some sun if possible, Sleep more because your immune system works while you rest. Cancel plans, focus on healing. Then get back to a normal routine faster and avoid spreading your illness. Understanding Viral Symptoms and Fever When your immune system creates congestion, it's in an effort to get rid of the virus. Sneezing and coughing is also to move the fluid and virus out. Sore throat is inflammation, which is your immune system fighting the infection. Fevers help— viruses can't survive high heat. If you feel feverish or have a 99-100 degree fever, that's good. Rest and allow yourself to be hot to help your immune system. Take a hot shower or bath and sleep to heal. Stay hydrated to prevent high fevers. Drink water with sea salt for electrolytes and herbal tea, not caffeine, sugar or alcohol which decrease immunity. With rest and heat, most fevers stay around 100 degrees to kill viruses. If 103-104 degrees or higher, reduce it. Children's temperatures over 102-103 need attention. Hydration helps. A lukewarm washcloth (not ice cold) can lower a high fever. Monitor fever to know if you need medication. Using herbs and nutrients first may prevent the need for medications. If fever disrupts sleep or you have signs of bacterial infection, use fever-reducing medication as needed in addition to natural remedies. Bacterial infections cause higher fevers and yellow/green phlegm. A little green phlegm in the morning is normal from laying down. All day green phlegm or coughing it up indicates bacteria. Then consider antibacterials or antibiotics. Try herbal antivirals first to avoid antibiotics if possible. If improving with natural remedies, keep at it. If not, use antibiotics. Natural approaches can be supportive if antibiotics are needed. The first steps when sick are: · At first signs, cancel plans to rest and heal · Stay hydrated with water, herbal tea (avoid sugar/alcohol) · Take hot baths/showers and nap · Monitor fever under 100 good, if 103-104 reduce gently Choosing the Right Supplements and Dosing Next is choosing the right supplements. Everyone is different, and there are thousands of options. Prioritize the most important. Experiment to see what works for you. Have your favorites on hand. Some love oregano oil, olive leaf is great. Mushrooms like shiitake, maitake, reishi are excellent for immunity. Use in cooking, in tea or capsules. Strategic combinations are best, with the most effective ingredients in one product vs. many bottles. I'm more likely to take 1-2 products consistently than juggle many. Herbs and nutrients metabolize within hours, so frequent dosing matters—morning, midday, evening, bedtime. One dose per day only helps briefly. What to take I always have silver on hand. Silver liquid or nanoparticles of silver in water help against viruses and bacteria. Squirt in mouth/nose, swallow, use topically. I also take Hesperidin. It's a plant-based natural antihistamine. Synthetic antihistamines have more side effects. When sick, the immune response increases histamine—causing runny nose, sneezing, sore throat. Antihistamines reduce this, not inhibiting immunity. They allow better virus/bacteria defense by reducing congestion where bacteria can grow. Plant-based hesperidin requires frequent dosing. Immune Support by Nature Empowered contains vitamin A, C, zinc, astragalus, elderberry—antiviral and immune supportive herbs. Take morning, midday, evening, bedtime. Immune Support Plus contains vitamin D, NAC and quercetin. NAC helps recover faster and thins phlegm. Quercetin is also anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory. If you might get sick, take Immune Plus 1-2 times a day. Increase dosing if ill. Add silver, hesperidin if sick. Consider extra vitamin A for immune boost—up to 50,000 IU twice or four times daily for a week or two. It is directly antiviral for respiratory tract/lungs. Vitamin C – use frequent smaller doses. 500 mg four times daily is better than 2,000mg at once which can cause loose stool. Vitamin D optimize before illness, increase dose when sick. Take bromelain or Sinatrol containing bromelain and berberine if increased coughing, congestion, or ear plugging from inflammation. Bromelain is anti-inflammatory. Berberine fights bacteria. Take 500-1000mg of bromelain 2-3 times daily. If bacterial signs—yellow/green phlegm, high fever— berberine helps avoid antibiotics. Take 500-1000mg twice daily. Keep going with natural remedies, use antibiotics if needed. Natural approaches help antibiotics be more effective. Seeking Medical Care While most viral illnesses can be supported at home, it's important to seek medical care in the following circumstances: · If fever climbs over 102-103°F - use cooling techniques and stay hydrated to keep it in a safe range · If phlegm becomes yellow/green - this can indicate a secondary bacterial infection that may need antibiotics · If chest congestion and breathing difficulties develop - immediate medical care is needed in this case · If illness lasts longer than 10-14 days without improvement - further care may be needed for complete recovery If asthma, pneumonia, or acute breathing distress occurs, or very high fevers develop, it's important to promptly seek medical help. Otherwise, implementing these natural treatments at the very first signs of viral illness often allows fast recovery without needing medications. Individualized Programs for Optimal Results Every person has a unique body makeup and reacts to illnesses and supplements a little differently. While my protocols work very well for most people, I recommend connecting with me if you need help personalizing your approach. My team can advise on advanced testing to pinpoint your needs, optimal dosing, priority supplements, and diet and lifestyle adjustments specific to your body. Custom tailoring the virus recovery plan is important, and guidance is available.

[04:07] Different Types of Eczema and How They Differ from Each Other -       Eczema or atopic dermatitis is just rashy skin and often has a component of overgrowth of staph aureus on the skin. -       There are three types of priorities of eczema and how they appear. -       Gut-mediated eczema is usually going to look bright red. If it's circular, it is probably always gut mediated. And it's going to look worse in the summer. -       Antihistamines and histamines aren't enemies but are almost always a problem in most eczema cases. -       Histamine should be broken down better when you have good gut bacteria. [10:06] Are You Digesting Properly? Things You Should Know About Digesting -       No one is digesting because we suppress all our digestive enzymes, stomach acid, and pancreatic enzyme functions under stress. -        Undigested stuff creates chaos in the immune system. And then it informs the immune system that there's a problem, which can lead you to have food sensitivities. -       If you do not have a banana bowel movement every morning, you're probably not digesting beautifully. [28:11] Improving Gut Microbiome: Tools That Can Help To Strengthen Your Gut -       Prebiotics are supposed to feed good bacteria. But most clinicians at practice would tell you they are good and bad, depending on the prebiotics. -       Saccharomyces boulardii can pass the stomach acid spores and typically can have some bacteria-shifting properties. Still, they're probably not enough when you have H. Pylori or other certain bacteria that need a certain potential treatment. -       Short-chain fatty acids are up-regulating ketosis. -       If you're trying to support your gut health, improve your digestion first. -       Doing diaphragmatic breathing pumps your lymphatics, which improves your digestion. -       When doing deep breathing, you increase ATP turnover by 15 times. So, you're healing your adrenals with breathwork. [39:24] Liver and Kidney: Detoxifying Tips to Help Your Organs Clean Your Body -       Try always to start externally. -       Be careful what you put on large areas of your skin, such as pure, high-quality oil. -       The sauna massively helps with cellular turnover and increases like passive exercise. -       Liver detoxification involves pooping, being hydrated, and sweating. -       Digesting your food is massively important to get those nutrients, and amino acids come from proteins. [4736] The Main Causes of Kidney Issues and Ways To Protect It -       Keep hydrated. -       Kidneys usually function, and you're hydrating well and supporting them that way. -       High blood pressure, high glucose levels, and certain medications are some of the causes of kidney issues. -       Cordyceps mushrooms are beneficial to the kidneys.

Itchy eyes. Sinus pressure. Coughing and sneezing... Many people take antihistamines to get through an allergy episode, and that can be totally OK. But what about if you have to take them everyday? Are there potential long term side effects? Today's guest, Dr. Chris Thompson, is a Board Certified Otolaryngologist, Head & Neck Surgeon with over 25 years of experience practicing medicine in Texas. He earned his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering from Texas A & M University in College Station and went on to receive his Doctorate of Medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Dr. Thompson completed his residency with the Department of Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.Dr. Thompson focuses solely on allergy, sinus and nasal treatment and is considered an expert in all three fields. He is one of a handful of doctors that played an integral role in the development of the cutting-edge sinus procedure, Balloon Sinuplasty. Dr. Thompson is also experienced with nasal reconstructive procedures and rhinoplasty. He is very excited for the future of allergy treatment through sublingual immunotherapy, as more patients choose and stay consistent with the treatment. He is also a member of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, American Academy of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Texas Medical Association, and Travis County Medical Society. Join us as Dr. Thompson discusses all things relating to allergies, the side effects of long-term use of antihistamines, and other options that people can use or try to get off of those meds such as immunotherapy. Have you used antihistamines to calm down a severe allergic response? Have they helped, but you're ready to try something new? Let me know in the comments if you have questions! In this episode: Are antihistamines appropriate for daily use? Different types of antihistamines (what do they do?) How eczema, food allergies + asthma are related Antihistamines crossing the blood-brain barrier (YIKES) Non-pharmaceutical options to consider (and discuss with your doctor) Treatment options for different types of specific allergies Quotes “There are some studies that link long-term antihistamine use with things like dementia. There was one I read recently that showed an increase in glial tumors, which are typically brain tumors... There are links to depression. There are links to weight gain with these and all, but one of the antihistamines over-the-counter can cross the blood-brain barrier." [4:16] “One of the most surprising facts about allergy is that only 2% of the population of allergy patients seek allergy care. Imagine, if 3% of cancer patients or 2% of sleep apnea patients sought and received proper care for their medical ailment? It would just be unfathomable, but yet in the allergy world, again, we're not talking about a life threatening problem in most cases, but it really does get sidelined and poo-pooed by a lot of doctors."
