Take Action Now to Protect CBD!
The House Agriculture Committee is considering amendments to the upcoming Farm Bill. We need to act fast to oppose a terrible amendment that would federally ban all ingestible hemp products with any level of THC.
This would destroy a huge percentage of the industry, including many CBD and full-spectrum hemp oil products that have many health-supporting cannabinoids along with naturally-occurring but non-intoxicating levels of THC.
You can read the text of the amendment here.
We must oppose this amendment and preserve our access to CBD and full-spectrum hemp oil products. Write to your member of Congress to oppose this amendment!

- My entire family has found CBD oil to help with both sleep and pain. I give the brand we’ve had success with here: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/01/16/ldn-cbd/ (I am not affiliated with ANY companies). It is potent. The company has other strengths & combinations as well.

- https://theconversation.com/cbd-is-not-a-cure-all-heres-what-science-says-about-its-real-health-benefits
- The important takeaway is this:
CBD is what pharmacologists call a promiscuous drug. That means it could be effective for treating a number of medical conditions. In broad strokes, CBD affects more than one process in the body – a term called polypharmacology – and so could benefit more than one medical condition.
As of early 2023, there are 202 ongoing or completed scientific trials examining the effectiveness of CBD in humans on such diverse disorders as chronic pain, substance use disorders, anxiety and arthritis.
In particular, CBD appears to be an anti-inflammatory agent and analgesic, similar to the functions of aspirin. This means it might be helpful for treating people suffering with inflammatory pain, like arthritis, or headaches and body aches.
CBD also holds potential for use in cancer therapy, although it has not been approved by the FDA for this purpose.
And this, right here, is why it simply must go. It does too many things simultaneously that interferes with Big Pharma profits and since most of our politicians are all in bed with Big Pharma, there is a concerted effort to ban it, plain and simple.
Nine Treatments for MCAS
May 23, 2024
https://www.lymedisease.org/members/lyme-times/special-issues/mast-cell/nine-treatments-mcas/
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
Histamine 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.
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
While 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:
- 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
There 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.

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.
- “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.
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.

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.
