Nine Treatments for Mast Cell Activation SyndromeManaging MCAS requires a trial-and-error approach; experimenting with these suggestions to see what works best for you

By Jill Carnahan, MD

While there is no cure for MCAS, that certainly doesn’t mean you’re simply at the mercy of your misbehaving mast cells. There are a number of tools you can put into place that can work in conjunction to minimize or even eradicate symptoms and help restore balance to your immune system.

Because each person grappling with MCAS is unique, there is no one-size-fits-all treatment strategy. Rather, managing MCAS requires a trial-and-error approach – experimenting with different treatments and lifestyle tweaks to see what works best for you.

SO IF YOU’RE TRYING TO FIND RELIEF FROM MCAS SYMPTOMS, HERE’S WHAT I RECOMMEND:
TREATMENT 1:

Eat a Low-Histamine Diet

low-histamine dietHistamine is one of the primary pro-inflammatory mediators released when mast cells degranulate. So, getting your histamine levels under control is a top priority. One way to do this is by following a “low-histamine diet” – an elimination diet that aims to minimize the amount of histamine you ingest from foods and beverages.

While reducing high-histamine foods can be helpful, the best way to truly identify and track which foods may be a trigger, is to keep a daily log of what you’re eating and drinking and the severity of your symptoms. This will help you identify any patterns and more easily recognize foods that may be contributing to your symptoms. As someone who’s had to work through my own personal food sensitivities, I promise taking the time to get to the bottom of this is worth it.

TREATMENT 2:

Use a DAO Enzyme Supplement

Diamine oxidase (DAO) is the main enzyme responsible for degrading histamine. However, if you’re not producing enough of this crucial enzyme, histamine can begin to accumulate and run amok – triggering many of the symptoms associated with MCAS.

mast cell treatment DAO

That’s where DAO supplements come in. DAO supplements increase the DAO levels in the digestive tract – reducing the level of histamine entering the bloodstream and floating around in your body which can provide some relief from the symptoms associated with histamine overload.

There are a number of DAO supplements available over the counter, but be careful – ordering from Amazon may be convenient, but it’s also where fake and/or poor quality supplements run galore. (See my website for supplements I approve of.)

TREATMENT 3:

Incorporate Antihistamines and Mast Cell Stabilizers

mast cell treatment natural stabilizersWhile DAO supplements are excellent for reducing the amount of histamine absorbed from the food you ingest, these mighty supplements are unable to enter your bloodstream to reduce the amount of histamine produced within your body. This means that excess histamine produced by your own cells needs to be addressed by other methods. Which is where natural antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers can be useful:

ANTIHISTAMINES:

These compounds bind to histamine receptors – essentially blocking histamine from binding to receptors and triggering symptoms. You’ve likely heard of the common over-the-counter antihistamine Benadryl which can be great for immediate relief but can also cause you to build tolerance and require more and more to get the same relief. Some better options to focus on are natural sources of antihistamines like:

mast cell treatment natural antihistamines

  • Vitamin C
  • Stinging nettle
  • Butterbur
  • Bromelain
  • Local raw honey
  • Probiotics
  • Astragalus

These natural antihistamines can help soothe symptoms and naturally reduce histamine levels.

MAST CELL STABILIZERS:

Mast cell stabilizers prevent degranulation and stabilize your mast cells. A few well-known, natural compounds that exhibit mast cell stabilizing activities include:

  • Quercetin
  • Resveratrol
  • Luteolin
  • Curcumin

But the truth is, having to take a conglomeration of antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers (on top of potential DAO supplements) can get expensive and overwhelming. To get relief without the expense or headache, I recommend a blend of flavonoids, antioxidants, enzymes, and botanicals that can help block histamine and stabilize your mast cells – providing you with comprehensive support for relief from MCAS symptoms.

TREATMENT 4:

Identify Sources of Toxins

mast cell identify sources of toxinsThere is no single factor that has been shown as the definitive cause of MCAS. However, various microbes can disrupt the immune system and cause mast cells to go haywire. Two major environmental triggers of MCAS include mold and an elevated overall toxic burden.

If you’re struggling with MCAS, it’s absolutely essential to reduce the body’s microbial and toxic burden. This typically requires a thorough assessment of your environment as well as making some adjustments to your lifestyle to minimize exposure to mold and other environmental toxins.  (See link for article)

Time to Stop WHO

Many are unaware of the deep seeded corruption in the World Health Organization (WHO).  The WHO is currently in a racket that charges $100,000 per ‘vaccine’ to be ‘prequalified.’  The organization has currently ‘prequalified’  272 ‘vaccines.’

But that’s just the tip of the corrupt iceberg.

The WHO is involved in a sex-crime scandal where victims as young as 13 have been raped by some 83 staff.  No one has been charged because evidently none of the victims received WHO aid.  

Then there’s the Secretary General of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus who stands accused of genocide and ethnic cleansing in Ethiopia.

It’s Time To Stop the WHO’s Horrific Pandemic Treaty

The WHO treaty is quite possibly the worst treaty of our lifetimes and is being supported by all the elitist institutions and richest oligarchs. Fortunately, we now have a real chance of stopping it.

Story At A Glance

  • “Preventing” pandemics is one of the most lucrative areas in medicine. Sadly, this money has incentivized “preventative” research which frequently leads to disastrous leaks and suppresses effective solutions for the pandemics that emerge
  • COVID-19 was handled so egregiously that it woke much of the public up to this grift and the pandemic-industrial complex is now facing an existential threat to its business model
  • To address this “threat” the WHO (World Health Organization) has covertly created a treaty behind the scenes which usurps national sovereignty and gives international health agencies terrifying control during “health emergencies”
  • A grassroots activist movement advocating for health freedoms has accomplished something remarkable in their fight to derail the WHO treaty and they need your help

Note: this article was originally published on Mercola.com. I am revising and republishing it now because I believe this treaty is critically important to stop and we are now at the critical moment to stop it.

Throughout COVID-19, the more money countries spent complying with the WHO’s guidelines for mitigating COVID-19, the more people died. Because of this, many countries in Africa had a COVID-19 death rate which was less than 1% of that seen throughout the Western World.

Rather than admit this, the WHO is using those deaths to justify a horrific treaty that dramatically increases its power to control each nation’s pandemic response. Since its most evil provisions (e.g., complete censorship of dissenting voices and the promotion of dangerous bioweapons research that inevitably leads to catastrophic lab leaks) have been effectively concealed by the WHO, it is necessary to understand exactly what is in it so that we can stop it.

**Comment**

I love it when people take the time to document the complex history of a topic. This article does just that.  If you read only one article on the dystopian WHO pandemic treaty, this is it.  It’s all right here in bright, purple crayon.

Yet, there are stooges amongst us, and Marion Koopmans is one.  Here, she announces that disinformation producers should be treated as organized crime.

Marion Koopmans – who served on the WHO’s first COVID-19 origins investigation team – was removed from the body’s new “effort” to trace the source of the virus following the National Pulse exposé on her long-standing ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

Oops.

Koopmans appears to have suffered a similar fate to fellow WHO Peter Daszak – an American researcher whose Wuhan Institute of Virology collaborations were funded by Anthony Fauci.  Daszak divulged on a 2020 podcast, “we have 16,000 bat samples in a freezer in China that we collected using U.S. taxpayers’ money.”

________________

Summary:

  • Koopmans was listed as one of 28 members on WHO’s Scientific Advisory Group for the Origins of Novel Pathogens (SAGO)
  • SAGO’s updated member list fails to include Koopmans as a contributor to the effort to allegedly uncover the origins of COVID-19
  • The National Pulse unearthed her role on a scientific advisory board of the Centers for Disease Control of Guangdong China
  • She has also authored scientific research papers and journal articles supported by Chinese Communist Party grants
  • Not surprisingly, Koopmans became incensed when the head of the WHO called the first investigation’s findings “premature”

Hypocritically, Koopmans is calling on “justice” for online threats she is receiving while she apparently has no trouble with the injustice she has allowed by her conflicts of interest which completely thwarted an investigation into a so-called ‘pandemic’ which shut the world down and caused needless deaths. 

Another example of her X feed says it all:

There is absolutely nothing good about the Pfizer gene therapy injection falsely called a vaccine, which even a government report showed causes myocarditis, nor its new Lyme ‘vaccine.’ The company spends tens of millions of dollars lobbying legislators to manipulate the tax code so they are exempt from taxes.

A Silent Problem – Is It Yeast?

Is it Yeast in chronic Lyme treatment Image by Marty Ross MD

Problems from Intestinal Yeast Overgrowth in Lyme

Too many yeast in the intestines lead to a number of problems in Lyme disease. Here are a few.

  • Increased cytokine (Lyme) symptoms. Yeast overgrowth leads to inflammatory cytokine excess. Just like white blood cells responding to Lyme make too many cytokines, white blood cells make too many cytokines responding to yeast too. Excess cytokine symptoms give most of the Lyme disease symptoms. This means that too many yeast in a person’s intestines can make it look like Lyme is worse. But the problem could be yeast triggering more cytokines. Read more about cytokines in Control Cytokines: A Guide to Fix Lyme Symptoms & The Immune System.
  • Food allergies. Food allergies and sensitivities can be the result of yeast overgrowth too. Too many yeast is one of the major causes of leaky gut syndrome leading to food allergies. For more information see Leaky Gut Syndrome: A Video Treatment Guide.
  • Immune suppression. Excess cytokines and allergies to yeast may lead to immune suppression.

Despite Ivermectin’s Success For COVID, Washington State Doctor Fined For Prescribing It

Combined Early Treatment of Dewormer, Combined with Antihistamine, Expectorant and SSRI Shows Major Clinical Efficacy Against Serious Illness From COVID19

Amazing, it only took 3 years.

JAMES LYONS-WEILER
APR 16, 2024

Article Excerpts:

Public health, allopathic medicine, the press, and politicians infamously railed against ivermectin as a “horse dewormer.” Fauci himself single-handedly killed a good study by Henry Ford Hospital on corticosteroids and hydroxychloroquine by claiming that because we did not know if it was the corticosteroids or the hydroxychloroquine, the study was “flawed.” That study had a 1/4 reduction in mortality in hospitalized patients.

Now, a study from Thailand has been published that has found that early treatment of dewormer combined with antihistamine, expectorant, and SSRI shows major clinical efficacy against serious illness from COVID-19.

The study investigates a combined early treatment regimen of a dewormer, an antihistamine, an expectorant, and an SSRI, demonstrating significant clinical efficacy in preventing serious illness from COVID-19.This approach challenges the earlier narratives and suggests a potential shift in the treatment paradigm for COVID-19, emphasizing the benefits of combination therapy that simultaneously targets multiple aspects of the disease.

Doctor Fined for Prescribing Ivermectin Against COVID-19

Dr. Wei-Hsung Lin prescribed ivermectin to five patients.
By Zachary Stieber, Senior Reporter
5/17/2024

A doctor in Washington state has been fined for prescribing ivermectin against COVID-19. He must also take continuing education classes, according to newly filed documents.

Dr. Wei-Hsung Lin must pay $5,000, according to an order signed by the Washington Medical Commission on May 2.

Ivermectin is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treating several conditions, including parasitic worms. Prescribing medicine for unapproved usage is common in the United States, but administration officials have warned against prescribing and using ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment. Regulators have pointed to a database of clinical trials, some of which found ivermectin did not confer a benefit against COVID-19 and some of which found ivermectin was beneficial against the illness.  (See link for article)

_______________

**Comment**

All of this over 12 mg of ivermectin for FIVE DAYS!  A drug on the WHO list of essential medicine which is handed out like candy in Africa without a prescription!

Of course, this doctor was attacked for not discussing alternative treatments, for not using the government approved treatment of remdesivir, and for not discussing the COVID gene therapy injections which have caused more reports of adverse reactions and death than any other vaccine in the history of VAERS.

If you had any doubts about mainstream medicine, doubt no more.  It is absolutely corrupt.

Oh – besides paying a fine and needing continuing education, the doctor must write two papers of at least 1,000 words describing what he learned.  The commission is also going to make annual compliance visits including a random selection of records, and the doctor must appear within a year and on an annual basis as part of compliance oversight.  

Compliance = mainstream medicine.  Check your brains at the door, doctors.

I truly hope he sues them.  The madness must end.

HIGH CONTAINMENT

Lab That Created Risky Avian Flu Had “Unacceptable” Biosafety Protocols

Mara Hvistendahl

11/1/2022

Article Summary & other tidbits (See link for article)

“Someone finally convinced me to do something really, really stupid,” virologist Ron Fouchier.

  • To find out if H5N1 could morph to be transmittable between humans, Foucher and his team “mutated the hell out of H5N1” and looked at how readily it would bind with cells in the respiratory tract. They found it only took 5 mutations to give it the ability to latch onto cells in the nasal and tracheal passageways.
  • The “really, really stupid” part consisted of a high risk experiment letting the virus itself evolve to gain killer capacity. They put the mutated virus in the nose of a ferret and then put the infected material from the first ferret into the nose of the second ferret. After repeating this 10 times, H5N1 became as transmissible as the seasonal flu.  
  • This means the virus is airborne and reassortment with mammalian viruses isn’t required for it to evolve to spread through the air. According to virology professor Ab Osterhaus, the mutations are out there but they haven’t gotten together yet.  He also flatly stated that eradicating the flu is impossible.
  • Experts admit they are clueless on how viruses spread, although recently the worse purveyor of misinformation, the WHO, flip-flopped and is now admitting the COVID virus and other germs spread ‘through the air,” when in 2020 the agency tweeted: “FACT: #COVID19 is NOT airborne.” There’s no definition of particle size and no cutoff for these supposed infectious respiratory droplets (IRPs) which is quite convenient for tyrants and mask lovers.  This article gives all the credit to the worthless measures that imposed and ignore the fact that the reason the flu, RSV and other respiratory infections disappeared during COVID is because they counted EVERYTHING as COVID!
  • ‘Professor Lockdown,’ Neil Ferguson, the man behind the Imperial College model that erroneously predicted a tidal wave of COVID deaths in the US that allowed politicians to lock down the population, was also the man behind a number of similarly over-the-top mortality projections in previous public health scares, including wildly faulty death forecasts for the 2005 bird flu scare and the 2009 swine flu scamdemic test run. Ferguson is actually on record admitting that lingering immunity in older populations reduces the spread.
  • The research making H5N1 airborne was so controversial that a Dutch court required Fouchier to secure an export permit before he could publish his findings. The permit was designed to prevent the spread of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. The rules include dangerous flu viruses and related technical data. At the time, the backlash for this research was so potent that Fouchier, and Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and other prominent flu scientists voluntarily agreed to pause the transmissibility work. NIAID funded both labs and Fouchier was also a sub-awardee on a grant to a U.S. institution.  
  • After a biosafety staffer in Madison spoke to an audience to dispel what she called myths about safety, Kawaoka’s lab saw two accidents just a week apart involving lab-created flu viruses.  This caused a 6-week flurry of spats between high level administrators on both sides.
  • It must be noted that The Intercept obtained over 5,500 pages covering 18 years detailing lab accidents reported to NIH that show various animal bites, escapes, needlesticks, equipment malfunctions, and even some human infections.
  • The NIH’s reaction to the accidents was more extreme than in any other instance examined. After many other accidents, including for some involving potential pandemic pathogens, the same bureaucrats responded with brief thank-you emails. In a few cases, they asked for corrective actions. In no other instance did they threaten to withhold funding like they did with Kawaoka.

“We should be brave enough to say that some experiments should not be done.” ~ Simon Wain-Hobson, virologist at the Pasteur Institute in Paris 

  • A U.S. government moratorium on funding for ‘gain of function’ research occurred in 2014 yet just 3 years later, the pause was lifted and the DHHS shifted to a framework called P3CO, where a special review process was required to get funding.  
  • In 2016 NIAID administrators flagged a proposal by EcoHealth Alliance for their collaborative work with the Wuhan Institute of Virology on bat coronavirus research as being covered by the moratorium, but instead of insisting on modifications to make the research safer, they let the organization craft an unusual rule to govern itself.  Since P3CO was adopted, only three projects have undergone special review, but the Washington Post identified 8 projects that warranted review, and according to  Stat and Science, two more risky experiments emerged that had not undergone review.
  • Part of the problem is that the NIH charged the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity with reconsidering the P3CO policy, along with a policy on dual-use research. The NSABB has a fraught history, and its members are appointed by NIH itself. There is an inherent conflict of interest in having a group appointed by an agency to review that agency’s work.  Another problem is that when lab accidents happen it is handled quietly and they don’t put it in the local newspaper to warn the public.

Should We Be Concerned About Bird Flu?

Rumours of a deadly bird flu pandemic, hot on the heels of Covid-19, remind us of the disastrous results of implementing novel GMO gene products in the guise of vaccines without adequate testing.

 
WORLD COUNCIL FOR HEALTH
MAY 21, 2024

You’ve got a dangerous vaccine for a non-threatening disease … It’s supposedly for a life-threatening illness. Of course, conjunctivitis is not life-threatening! The whole purpose of the bird flu scare is to make you think that pandemics are always lurking, they’re coming for you all the time, and you need [the health bureaucracy] to save you.  ~ Dr Meryl Nass, Internist and Epidemiologist

Written by WCH Health & Science Committee lead Christof Plothe DO.

Largest ever bird flu outbreak

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that since January 2022, the largest outbreak of avian influenza (bird flu) in recorded history has occurred worldwide (CDC, 2024). By 7 May 2024, what has been identified as a subtype of influenza, referred to as H5N1, had apparently been detected in over 9,000 wild birds and affected more than 90 million poultry in the United States alone. Bird flu outbreaks have affected regions such as Asia, Africa, Europe, the Pacific, and the Near East (CDC, 2024), wreaking havoc on the poultry industry and impacting farmers’ livelihoods and international trade.

In 2022, an independent journalist reported that former CDC Director Robert Redfield had predicted that bird flu would jump to humans and prove highly lethal, triggering a ‘Great Pandemic’, which would make Covid-19 seem like a mere warm-up (Westbrook 2022). In 2005, then-President George Bush spent over $7 billion on preparations for bird flu, warning that it could kill more than two million Americans (Bush, 2005).  Despite this, naturally occurring avian influenza (H5N1) has never posed a threat to humans.

Humans at low risk from H5N1

The CDC maintains that H5N1 poses a low risk to humans and that there is currently no known mechanism for human-to-human transmission. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), bird flu has been responsible for only 463 deaths worldwide over the past 20 years. They do not mention if the deceased died from  bird flu or with it.  (See link for article & at home treatments)

______________

**Comment**

The article points out that a PCR test cannot detect the identity of the virus nor can it detect its variants or sub-varients, so we are at the mercy, once again, of a ‘casedemic’ caused by a fraudulent test which is being manipulated for a predetermined outcome: high cases to push a fear narrative to get a lucrative injection.

This time, they will indiscriminately inject animals and humans alike with their conveniently stockpiled ‘vaccines.’
