A question I get a lot is, "Do I have HIT because I have MTHFR gene mutation?" or other related genetic questions. 

The answer to this isn't black and white. Have you heard of the saying, genes load the gun and epigenetics pull the trigger? This saying means that you have a genetic blueprint which may include mutations which have to do with how your body processes histamine, but if you live a clean lifestyle (drinking filtered water, getting enough sleep, eating nourishing foods, limiting environmental toxins, maintain a healthy gut...), then those genes will stay turned off and you won't develop symptoms. This is why clients are able to reverse their symptoms because we have the power to put them into remission.

Do you get a dreaded sinus infection every year? Or even worse, multiple times a year?

I know I used to get them all the time before cleaning up my my health and they are THE WORST. I would honestly rather have the flu. The sinus pressure is so intense and not being able to breathe through your nose is a form of torture. 

Have you seen one of my most popular Instagram post that over 90% of sinus infections are due to fungal or mold overgrowth in the sinuses?

 So if you regularly take an antibiotic for them, you're only making the problem worse since they are not a bacterial infection. That antibiotic is only killing the good bacteria that would help keep the fungal bacteria in check, but now the fungus can run wild even more than before. 

Full moon is on November 8, are you parasite cleansing ?! In order to complete a comprehensive parasite protocol, there are 5 essentials (6th one is a recommended bonus) components to ensure it’s successful and you prevent any type of detox reaction.

Did you know a 2 week or 30 day parasite cleanse is NOT enough and will not address them correctly?

Do you find yourselves getting cold sores (herpes simplex virus) year after year no matter how much immune support you try?

Did you know parasites cause reactivation of viruses like herpes simplex in addition to other viruses like Epstein bar?

Did you know nearly 80-90% of people with acid reflux actually have too little stomach acid?

When we experience that and think it's too acidic, and we take antacids, especially regularly, we are providing a very cozy environment for bacteria, parasites, and viruses to flourish since they prefer a more alkaline environment.

Did you know that after implantation your histamine levels increase? They are highest during the first trimester (got morning sickness- blame histamine!). The uterine lining and placenta have a lot of mast cells which increase histamine.

If you've already had histamine issues prior to pregnancy, it can unfortunately make it worse since we know digestion slows down as well as your liver's ability to detoxify.

TH2 dominance is something I talk a lot about when explaining histamine intolerance and how one can develop it with clients.

First off, what is TH1 dominance and TH2 dominance?

TH1 and TH2 refers to the T helper cells within the immune system.

Do you have silver mercury amalgams or previously had them?

Do you know how they impact your immune system, gut bacteria and your toxicity load?

Did you know every time you bite down you release small amounts of mercury vapor into your body which circulates up to 3 weeks before it's stored in fatty tissue like the brain?

Did you know you have 3x more lymph fluid than blood in your body?

That's 15 liters worth of lymph fluid!

It is estimated up to 80% of menstruating women may experience anxiety before their period during their lifetime.

Nearly every one of my client's who have some level of PMS, report feeling anxious and/or depressed before their period.

Mold growing in homes, schools, offices, hospitals...fill in the blank- is really at epidemic proportions causing massive health problems which many are not aware of.

Many believe you have to see mold and for it to be black in order for it to be a problem. Unfortunately this is not the case. Many have been living with mold for a long time and have no idea. Plus once you have a mold problem it can be quite an ordeal to get rid of it.

Did you know over 90% of #chronicsinusitis aka #sinusinfections are fungal or mold related?

Do you typically run to your doctor to grab an antibiotic when you think you got one?

Unfortunately antibiotics are one of the worst things you can do since it kills the good bacteria that is working to keep that infection in check. Once you kill the good bacteria, the opportunistic bacteria has an even better chance of overtaking your nasal microbiome which eventually gets passed into your gut microbiome.

I still remember having the conversation with a knowledgably practitioner when I learned histamine was my issue. I had never even heard the phrase "histamine intolerance" before so you can imagine how lost and confused I felt in that moment.

The connection between your gallbladder and histamine intolerance because I feel this isn't talked about often enough and far too many women are getting their gallbladders taken out when it could have been prevented.

On several initial calls I have with women who are struggling with histamine intolerance, there is frequent complaints of either gallbladder pain which when investigated has no cause and they are told, "everything looks normal". I can relate to that as I went to the hospital due to severe gallbladder pain, was given Maalox and was sent home with no answers.

Do you feel like you developed histamine intolerance out of no where?

One day you were fine, no symptoms, able to handle all the seasons and then BOOM!

You're struggling to get through the day without popping a Claritin or sleep without a Benadryl?

Have you heard of Manjistha?

It is a type of flowering plant from the coffee family Rubiaceae. It grows in a long, cylindrical red bark which gives the powder a deep red color.

This is one of my favorite detox aides as a way to prevent herx reactions, aka detox reactions.

Did you know your antihistamine can be lowering your testosterone levels which can result in weight gain and acne when you come off them?
