Health Mysteries Solved
147 Can Mold Cause Digestive Issues and Increase Hashimoto's Symptoms?

Health Mysteries Solved

The Case:  Mira has Hashimoto's and also suffers from digestive issues.  These issues are long-standing and doctors or dietary changes have been ineffective Researching online has her feeling overwhelmed and lost.  There's so much confusing information online and when that is paired with a doctor telling you that there is nothing to be done or that tests show no issues, it leaves many Hashimoto's patients suffering from gut issues resigned to never feeling good again. That's why I was so glad that Mira came to me so we could do some real investigating to find the root cause of her digestive issues.  The Investigation I turned to a good friend of the Health Mysteries Solved show, Evan Brand. He is a functional medicine doctor and he also has his own podcast, The Evan Brand Show. He's shared his expertise with us before, if you haven't listened to episode 6, I encourage you to go back and give it a listen - it was a very eye-opening look at the hidden risks of mold. We discussed mold in this episode as well but I wanted to start our conversation talking about digestive issues for those with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's.  Digestive Issues Triggering Autoimmunity (including Hashimoto's) May Start in Childhood We don't often think about the relationship between our gut health and our immune system but they are incredibly connected. Evan shares that some of these issues start at a very early age. Evan believes it is crucial to address children's gut health as resolving these issues early on may help prevent the development of Hashimoto's and other autoimmune conditions in their teenage and adult years. He specifically points to autoimmune-triggering bacteria such as Klebsiella, Morganella, Strep, Staph, and Pseudomonas, which have been linked to various autoimmune conditions.  Evan encourages parents to consider gut health as a potential cause for behavioral issues, hyper-sensitivities, attention challenges, or other personality changes that could easily be presumed to be ADHD, OCD, or personality quirks. These could in fact, says Evan, be signs of a bacterial imbalance, parasites, or mold toxicity. He stresses the importance of dealing with these issues early because they can develop into long-term consequences such as anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, weight issues, sleep problems, behavioral issues, and learning difficulties as they grow older. Evan also notes that dysbiosis, an imbalance of gut bacteria, can occur at a young age, regardless of whether the child was born via C-section or vaginal birth. Lyme Disease and Babesiosis As Autoimmunity Triggers Evan also notes that babies can contract Lyme disease through the placenta of an infected mother or directly through a tick bite. He notes that tick bites are a growing problem.  Evan points to a recent statement from the CDC called Trends in Reported Babesiosis Cases which points to the significant increase in babesiosis cases from 2011 to 2019. Interestingly, he says that if cases go undiagnosed, these issues could be the cause of Hashimoto's.  This concept aligns with what we talk about all the time on this show regarding the triggers of Hashimoto's including bacterial overgrowth, stress, and mold or toxin exposure. Evan explains that addressing these underlying issues often leads to a decrease in antibodies associated with Hashimoto's, highlighting the domino effect of these interconnected health conditions. Are Hashimoto's and Autoimmunity a Purely Modern Health Threat Evan and I discuss how our ancestors may have dealt with these infections and pathogens in the past. While these issues likely existed, they weren't as prevalent due to differences in environmental factors, stress levels, and exposure to chemicals and technology. Our modern lifestyles contribute to chronic inflammation and dysbiosis, leading to the autoimmune misery we see today. It's important to address these root causes, including gut health, to alleviate symptoms and improve overall well-being. Testing for Hidden Causes of Ill-Health Diagnosing dysbiosis, infections, and autoimmune diseases requires tests that go beyond what a conventional doctor (or even a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist) will order. Evan suggests combining DNA stool testing with an organic acids test (if budget permits), as it provides a broader picture of gut health and mitochondrial function. These are exactly the tests I recommend to my clients because these advanced tests allow us to uncover underlying infections, dysbiosis, and other issues that may be contributing to autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto's. Where to Start in Solving Dysbiosis and Other Potential Hashimoto's Triggers Comprehensive testing, as mentioned above, is the key to knowing where to start. In most cases, treatment begins with dietary changes, supplements, as well as lifestyle changes. However, even with these actions, if the root cause of the issue is not addressed, the issues will pop back up eventually. This is why it's so important to find the root cause and address it.  If gut issues go untreated or under-treated, it can also lead to low energy levels, poor fat metabolism, anxiety, reduced sex drive, and lower self-confidence. This can create stress which further exacerbates the issues. This is why it's so important to get the tests and treat the root cause, not the symptoms. This is especially true if mold is the root cause.  The Impact of Mold in Our Homes and on Our Health Mold is more than just a cosmetic issue; it can have a significant impact on our well-being. Mold spores can trigger allergic reactions, and respiratory issues, and even contribute to chronic conditions. Recognizing the potential health risks associated with mold exposure is the first step toward protecting ourselves and our loved ones. To test your home for mold, Evan suggests using the petri dish method because it allows you to identify specific rooms in the home where mold issues exist. For example, you may find that the basement has the highest concentration of spores but that your daughter's bedroom is fine. This allows you to treat specific areas and not feel like your entire house is hurting you. This is important because the stress of thinking that your entire house is a threat to your health can have a serious impact on your stress levels which can also impact your thyroid.  It's so important to know that mold can be mitigated and the impact of the mold in your home can be managed. Not panicking and dealing with the issues calmly are an important part of staying healthy through this issue.  In addition, doing stool and urine tests can help you track the impact of mold and the results of removing the mold.  How to start addressing gut infections and underlying mold In this episode, we discussed many protocols for addressing bacterial and parasitic infections and gut inflammation. There are many over-the-counter options but ultimately, it's ideal to work with a holistic practitioner for personalized guidance.  If you want to take action on your own, Evan suggests using binders as a starting point, considering the prevalence of toxins, chemicals, pesticides, and mold in today's world. He mentions that binders are generally safe and necessary for detoxification but suggests not just using charcoal - a blend of binders is more effective.  There are many options but he recommends the GI detox. The GI detox is a blend of zeolite, charcoal, silica, pectin, and fulvic or humic acid. Evan explains that this blend effectively binds various toxins. Zeolite, for example, is effective for heavy metals, while the clay component specifically targets a highly estrogenic mycotoxin called Xarelanone, which originates from the mold Fusarium commonly found in water-damaged buildings. Xarelanone can disrupt female hormones, leading to infertility, miscarriages, and fetal abnormalities. The presence of Xarelanone can be detected through a urine test (organic acids test).  A Caution About Using Probiotics with Hashimoto's and Histamine Intolerance Probiotics are also important in dealing with a mold detox. However, many Evan finds that Hashimoto's patients tend to have histamine-producing bacterial overgrowth, which can contribute to food sensitivities and mast cell issues. For this reason, he utilizes low histamine strains of bacteria in their protocols. He mentions that they now incorporate probiotics right from the beginning, as they have discovered that certain probiotics can actually convert mold into less damaging forms. Evan mentions a blend called ProBio 50 that he has reviewed with Dr. Tanya Dempsey, an expert in mast cell issues. He explains that according to Dr. Dempsey, Bifidolactis and Lactobacillus Acidophilus, which are included in the blend, are considered low histamine strains.  On the other hand, he believes that strep strains typically fall into the high histamine category. Evan acknowledges that more research can be done to confirm these categorizations, but he has found success using the ProBio 50 blend with even the most sensitive individuals, as opposed to spore-based products which can elicit histamine reactions in some people. It's important to note that spore-based probiotics may work well for individuals with SIBO, others may react negatively due to their unique biochemistry. This highlights the importance of individualized approaches in selecting the right probiotics for each person's specific needs and sensitivities. Here is a list of probiotic strains that are both histamine-increasing and lowering.  Histamine-increasing strains: Lactobacillus Casei Lactobacillus Bulgaricus Streptococcus Thermophilus Lactobacillus Delbrueckii Lactobacillus Helveticus Lactobacillus Reuteri Histamine-lowering strains: Lactobacillus Plantarum Bifidobacterium Longum - helps improve gut barrier and assists in histamine degradation Bifidobacterium Infantis Lactobacillus Rhamnosus Lactobacillus Reuteri is one of the most common strains that increase histamines and should be avoided by those with histamine intolerances. Balancing Treatments to Ensure Optimal Results While it might seem obvious to use a low histamine-producing probiotic if you have histamine intolerance, Evan explains that balance is the key. Using histamine-reducing probiotics alongside histamine-producing ones can create a balance. In addition to probiotics during a mold detox, it's also important to support the adrenals and liver. His recommendations include milk thistle and medicinal mushrooms such as chaga and turkey tail, which are considered immune-modulating formulas. Evan emphasizes the significance of adaptogenic herbs for hormonal support, particularly in women above the age of 40. He says herbs such as Rhodiola, maca, and Siberian ginseng can help the body cope with stress. These adaptogens can also address issues like temperature regulation, such as feeling cold all the time or experiencing hot flashes. Evan shares that incorporating these herbs into the protocol can improve the individual's ability to tolerate temperature changes and engage in activities without feeling faint or woozy. Of course, it's important to have a holistic approach when designing protocols, focusing not only on immediate improvements but also on long-term solutions. This includes addressing environmental factors such as mold, toxins, and synthetic fragrances in the home, as well as adopting a clean and organic lifestyle.  The final piece of the puzzle is maintaining a positive mindset, fostering relationships, and engaging in activities that bring joy and a sense of connection. This can be what tips the scales to optimal health.  Next Steps  There is so much that you can do to unravel the mystery of your symptoms by looking at some of the most common triggers. Especially if you have digestive issues on top of autoimmunity, you really can't go wrong by starting in the gut. That's exactly what Mira and I did. We ran a DNA stool test and an organic acid test. We found that she had quite a bit of dysbiosis. We also found that there was fat in the stool so we used bitters and Advanced TUDCA to increase bile production. This also helped to reduce pain during bowel movements.  We started Mira on the binder Evan mentions, GI Detox but I also rotated in Biotoxin Binder.  We added anti-fungals and anti-microbials, GI MicrobX, Allimax, Oil of Oregano, FC Cidal, and Dysbiocide. This was to address the specific infections found in her gut.  Mira also had a parasite so we used Para 1 and Para 2 which we timed around the full moon.  It's important to note that initially, this made Mira feel worse but that is part of the die-off process and soon, she was feeling much better.  We added more fiber to her diet by increasing her vegetable intake which helped with diversifying her gut. We also exposed her to many different probiotic strains including probiotic 225 and PriobioMed 50. After that, we used Entrovite (a post-biotic) to improve the diversification and find that balance of good and bad gut bugs.  Happy Ending There's no question that Mira needed serious support to get her gut health back to happy. Once we found that happy balance in her gut, her Hasimoto's antibodies dropped, her energy improved and she lost weight.  Eliminating Health Mysteries For Mira, we were able to find that missing piece of the health puzzle and help her regain her health. Could this be the missing clue for you or someone in your life?  Links: Resources mentioned: Thanks to my guest Evan Brand.

Today we are joined by Beth O'Hara, Functional Naturopath specializing in complex, chronic cases of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Histamine Intolerance, and Mold Toxicity.  She is the founder of Mast Cell 360 where she provides healing protocols for patients, as well as providers.Beth's health journey began in childhood.  Growing up on a farm in a rural area, she was exposed to mold and Lyme and they didn't know anything about the risks back then.  A TBI threw her a curveball, and then a car accident that kept her out of high school for almost a year had her in bed and on pain meds.  College was a continued physical struggle.  Pain, fatigue, anxiety..all as she was working three jobs during her undergrad studies.  Although she had earned scholarships to medical school, which had been her lifelong dream, Beth knew that her health would never allow her to make it through residency, if she managed to survive med school.By age 28 Beth was walking with a cane or wheel chair.  She was misdiagnosed with Palandromic Arthritis.Because doctors didn't know what was wrong with her, they told her it was emotional.Years of therapy were helpful, but not for her health.Finally, Beth was diagnosed with Lyme Disease, but was too sick to tolerate treatments.Eventually, she learned she had mold toxicity.  And she learned how to reboot her nervous system.She slowly improved and was able to tolerate treatments.She eventually became a Doctor of Naturopathy.  And nowWhat is Mast Cell Activation SyndromeMast cells are immune cells that are found throughout our body.We have over 200 known kinds of mast cell receptors.  Their job is to keep us safe.  They respond to immune threats, like infection, and even stress.The problem occurs when mast cells don't have a chance to reset themselves.MCAS is a multisystem issue.It takes an average of 10 years to get diagnosed.  It still isn't taught in medical school.MCAS effect up to 17% of the population.Mold exposures are all across the country and world.  And numbers are rising which is increasing MCAS as well.EMF exposure increases mold activity as well.Multi systemic:with our without allergieswith or without anaphylaxiswith or without sensitivityPresentations are different!Mastcell360 is your resource for all things Mast Cell.Free Symptom SurveyCourses are available for lay people and practitioners.Healing takes time!Lifestyle change.We start with nervous system.  Vagal nerve system and lymbic system.MC360 Method:1-Stabilization of nervous system-Structural issues top of neck2-Remove triggers3-Mast cell calmingmodulate inflammosomesThe order of operations is key!Message of hope.WE CAN HEAL!!!!  AND DO!!!One Thing to doAlternate nostril breathing...it's free!Learn more about mast cell activation syndrome here

130 Got a Mysterious Chronic Condition? It Might be Mast Cell Activation Syndrome

Health Mysteries Solved

The Case:  Julie has digestive issues, headaches, lots of skin rashes and irritation, brain fog, and fatigue She is also very sensitive to environmental triggers like fragrances, smoke, and chemicals.   She eats and lives as clean as possible but nothing seems to help.  She's seen a dozen doctors who have prescribed a variety of medications but nothing helped.  It's so common for conventional doctors to focus on treating the symptoms as if they are unrelated instead of considering what the collection of symptoms might mean. Julie knew that her symptoms had to be connected which is when she reached out to me. My feeling was that this was a systemic issue and we got to work investigating the root cause of her problems.  The Investigation With my suspicions of a systemic issue, I knew that Beth O'Hara would be a great source of information. She's been on Health Mysteries Solved before to speak about Oxalates (episode 67) and Histamines (episode 81). This time, I wanted to dive into the topic of Mast Cells and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome which is Beth's expertise. What are Mast Cells? Mast cells are one of the most important types of immune cells in our bodies. They're present at every interface between our bodies and the outside world, and they're also found in every single tissue except for the retina. So, if we think about that, they're in the skin, in the lining of the sinus passages, in the digestive tract from the mouth to the stomach, and they're also found in muscles and bones. They migrate to very important areas like nerve endings and the brain's limbic system. Mast cells are responsible for a number of functions ranging from the sleep-wake cycle to pregnancy and wound healing. They also help the body monitor for whether or not we're safe from things like toxins, mold, candida, pathogens, parasites, viruses and bacteria. They even monitor for co-infections (like lyme disease). Mast cells are also looking for all types of stressors including psychological stress, physical stress and stress caused by outside factors like electromagnetic fields (EMF) in the environment. How do Mast Cells Work? Mast cells use what are called receptors - you can think of them like little antennae on the outside of the cell. There are over 200 of these receptors sending out signals using mediators. There are over 1000 different mediators. All of these allow the cells to connect with and monitor the different functions of the body.  When a mast cell detects an issue it will respond, often causing inflammation. It is not the only immune response but it is one of the primary cells responsible for answering a threat to the immune system.  The problem is that our modern world has more threats to the immune system that can cause mast cells to react. These include things like mold, high levels of EMF (wifi, smart homes, etc add to these high levels), environmental chemicals and other toxins. The challenge is that the mast cells are constantly triggered (or in activation) by these things and they don't have time to rest and reset. This can overwhelm the mast cells and create a chronic issue.  The Link Between Autoimmunity and Mast Cell Activation Mast cells are heavily involved in the development of various autoimmune diseases. The mast cells are involved in both innate and adaptive immunity. Mast cells respond to the initial threat from a pathogen but when that fails, they shift their response and this can be what causes chronic inflammation. This continues as long as there are unresolved root triggers over an extended period of time. Over time, this opens the door for the development of autoimmunity in people who are predisposed for it.  So, if we want to avoid autoimmunity, we need to respond faster to the root trigger so that the mast cell response can be regulated. Regulating the mast cells can also reverse autoimmunity, in some cases, if you identify which mast cells have been activated.  Different mast cells can be triggered (and often triggered together to create a bigger issue). For example, the GI mast cells and the skin mast cells. After determining which mast cells have been activated, you need to understand which receptors are now hyper-sensitive and which mediators are involved.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome Symptoms and Diagnosis The complexity of what is happening is one of the reasons why it is so hard to diagnose MCAS. Beth says that the average diagnosis takes up to 10 years and the criteria for diagnosis is still being debated. She shared that a population study (pre-COVID) found that up to 17% of the population are dealing with MCAS. That's hundreds of millions of people with MCAS, the majority of which are undiagnosed. Experts speculate that up to 75% of all chronic illness could involve MCAS. While there is a long list of potential symptoms, Beth shared some of the most common. The symptoms of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome include: Pain in the muscles and joins Brain fog Fatigue GI issues like:  Diarrhea Constipation Bloating Pain (in the gut or stomach) Discomfort after eating Esophagus swelling Mouth burning Acid reflux Depression or anxiety Insomnia (especially falling asleep or waking up between 2-4 am) Skin issues including: Rashes Hives Psoriasis Eczema Bladder Interstitial Cystitis (urinary pain and burning) Hormonal issue (hormonal imbalances) Breathing issues including: Shortness of breath Excess sinus mucus production (postnasal drip) Hypersensitivity (often to fragrances) To assess your symptoms, Beth has a free Symptoms Survey you can take here. There are some lab tests that will also help to diagnose MCAS but these tests are limited so it's important to also consider the symptoms.  What to do if You Suspect You Have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome This is a tricky question because the criteria for diagnosing MCAS is not universally agreed on (and false negatives can happen with lab testing). In addition, there is a lot of contradictory information on the internet which can be frustrating for anyone trying to figure things out on their own. And, may discover that one person's solution is another person's poison.  Beth uses a 5-step process which starts with the stabilization phase of calming everything down. This has to happen before doing major detoxification because that can trigger the mast cells. The stabilization phase starts with addressing issues in the nervous system. Beth's program focuses first on retraining the limbic system and then she addresses the vagal nerve system and finally deals with any structural issues that might be affecting the nervous system like a head or neck injury.  After this phase, Beth's plan moves into a gentle detox. This is more often than not, going to include dealing with mold exposure.  The next step in Beth's process is to decrease the infectious load. This can often mean addressing Lyme disease and the co infections that can come with it.  The fourth step in her process is to rebuild. This usually includes repairing the gut lining and improving the overall GI system. It may also include rebalancing the hormones and the mitochondria. The fifth and final step is to optimize. For this, Beth looks at the genetics (noting weaknesses that may need additional support) and then creates a wellness plan.  The whole 5-step process takes 2-4 years. She says there is no quick fix for reversing mast cell activation syndrome.  Mystery Solved Mast Cell Activation Syndrome is way more common than people realize and it became clear that Julia was one of these people.  To get started, I worked with Julie on calming her immune system through various modalities both biochemical as well as energetic and emotional, especially on the trauma side. We also found out she was very sensitive to EMFs so we supported that. We did some investigating into her triggers, infections, toxic exposure, and food sensitivities. We then used targeted supplements like quercetin to support her immune system.  We discovered she was an over-methylator so we decreased the methyl donors she was taking and supported her methylation instead. For more details on methylation and how it can impact your energy and wellbeing, listen to episode 108. We wanted to make sure that mold wasn't contributing to her condition. Julie was living in a brand new house, but as it turns out she did have past mold exposure which was still affecting her. We used a combination of Biotoxin Binder, high dose vitamin C, Molecular Hydrogen as well as some gentle antifungals to help support her body. Conclusion We took things slowly because Julie was very sensitive and we didn't want to set up any new triggers. And, we understood that reversing Mast Cell Activation Syndrome takes time.  Eight months into the protocol she started to really see an improvement with her digestion, energy and brain fog. Her skin was also less reactive. We still have work to do, but she and I are so encouraged with her progress and excited to see more and more in the coming months. Eliminating Health Mysteries For Julie we were able to find that missing piece of the health puzzle and get her on the road to renewed health.

“Find your joy again. It doesn't have to be necessarily what you were doing before.”  – Kimberly Quirk What happens when you have a chronic illness — and you're an entrepreneur and mom? How do you make it work? Today I'm talking with Kimberly Quirk, FLOW365 member and Live Well Health Founder. Her passion for working with her health coaching clients stems from her own chronic illness. Listening to your body is important for all of us, but especially so when you are dealing with chronic illness. That can be hard when you are exhausted, taking care of kids, trying to work, and taking care of all the other stuff. But if you don't listen, your body will get louder. Kimberly shares the progress she's made and the power of finding your joy again. Overwhelm is real, so small wins really matter. Kimberly offers hope and practical support to people living with chronic illness. We talk about:  The power of rest and why we should stop thinking of rest as lazy The sleuthing that is needed to find answers when it comes to chronic illness How food can make a difference Kimberly shares that her experience in FLOW has helped her:  Balance the different parts of her life by rethinking time  Feeling more purpose and meaning Feel accountable This is part of a series where we will be highlighting the work of some FLOW365ers. I ask each one, what are three pieces of advice from your expertise that you know will serve the Plan SImple audience. Because they know the process so well and are part of the audience, their pieces of advice are so valuable! Kimberly's three pieces of wisdom: LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. Our bodies hold a lot of wisdom, but we don't always listen. Whether you have chronic illness or not, listen to what your body is telling you. Do you need rest? Is the food you are eating not serving you? Is something “off”? That's a sign to make a change. NOTICE WHAT BRINGS JOY. Kimberly reminds us that what brings joy may not be what it was before. What is bringing you joy now? Remember, it doesn't have to be something big—it could be doggie kisses or the sun on your face or a favorite song coming on. Notice what brings joy and seek more of that. BE A FOOD SLEUTH. One thing that can make a big difference in our health, our energy, and even our mood, is food. You could try an elimination diet to see how you do off different foods. You could also just start by noticing how you feel after eating certain foods. Are there foods that make you sleepy, antsy, achy …? What happens if you don't eat that food? Get curious.  ABOUT KIMBERLY QUIRK Kimberley Quirk is founder of Live Well Health Coaching, LLC and a health coach who is passionate about working with women over 40 to overcome their chronic lyme disease healing blocks.  She became a health coach because of her own health crisis as she has struggled for a decade with chronic illness from lyme disease, toxic mold illness, mast cell activation syndrome, hashimoto's thyroiditis, POTS, chronic urticaria, depression, anxiety, and SIBO.  Kimberley attended Duke Integrative Medicine's health coaching certification course and became a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach in 2017 with the first health coach certification exam offered.

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and histamine intolerance have been buzzwords for quite some time now, but these conditions are still highly misunderstood and impact 1 in 10 people. That's up to 17% of the general population! Mast cells are our immune system's first responders, sensing and communicating back to the brain about incoming pathogens, toxins, injuries, and other stressors. When these amazingly complex cells are overtaxed and dysregulated, they will respond to anything as a threat, creating inflammation and a buildup of immune mediators like histamine and cytokines that create a wide range of symptoms from hives and itchy eyes to gastrointestinal distress, migraines, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, and others. Today's special guest has been personally impacted by these conditions and is an amazing testament to the power of a functional and holistic approach to healing. Beth O'Hara is a Functional Naturopath specializing in complex chronic immune conditions related to MCAS and Histamine Intolerance. She is the founder and owner of Mast Cell 360 Functional Naturopathy, where she looks at all factors surrounding health conditions: genetic, epigenetic, biochemical, physiological, environmental, and emotional. She holds a doctorate in Functional Naturopathy, a master's degree in marriage and family therapy, and a bachelor's degree in physiological ecology. She is certified in functional genomic analysis and is a research advisor for the Nutrigenetic Research Institute. She designed Mast Cell 360 to be the kind of practice she wished had existed when she was severely ill with MCAS, histamine intolerance, neuroinflammation, Lyme disease, mold toxicity, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue. Her mission today is to be a guiding light for others with MCAS, histamine intolerance, and these related conditions in their healing journeys through her Mast Cell 360 Root Cause process.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Dr. Manon Bolliger, ND, chats with Beth O'Hara Functional Naturopath, specializing in complex chronic immune conditions related to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and Histamine Intolerance Listen to the full story today! https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/beth-ohara   Highlights from today's episode include: Beth O'Hara  02:57 The reason that people want to stick around and listen to this, is that mast activation syndrome is one of the most under-recognized conditions, and one of the most common, which is so interesting about it. Because studies have shown us that between 9 and 17% of the general population have mast activation syndrome. So we just take a second to think about that. We're talking like at least 1 in 10 people, that's quite a lot. And that's just a general population. Beth O'Hara  07:10  Our mast cells are in every system in the body, almost every tissue. So we have to know that to think about the symptoms, and that the mast cells are here to be our frontline defending immune cells. So they're sensing toxins and pathogens, they're also sensing stress. Beth O'Hara  09:28 So you take your front line defenders of your immune system, you knock out their response, and they coordinate the whole immune response to you just kind of knock that whole part out. And then the Lyme, Bartonella, babesia, Epstein Barr the mold, colonize in the body and had free rein. So that's the approach that is different is learning, not think about the mast cells or what's wrong and knock that out, we need to think about what's triggering underneath that's making the mast cells over-reactive.   About Beth O'Hara Beth O'Hara is a Functional Naturopath, specializing in complex chronic immune conditions related to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and Histamine Intolerance.
