Histamine, Homocysteine and Health with Joanne Kennedy

[@ec1481]

Thank you for talking about low homocysteine! I agree that everything is so focused on high!

[@Sam-pg9hr]

Thank you. Sending this to my doctor. It's a shame how little doctors seem to be aware of these issues in the USA. I've had to research for YEARS until I figured this out and now It's a light bulb moment. My autistic daughter is likely just missing certain enzymes/vitamins etc.. I've begged for mthfr testing checking enzymes for essential nutrients/vitamins/minerals etc etc due to its impact on neurotransmitters... nope, brushed off every time. Me panic attacks for 4 years now. Since my daughter was 6wks old. Thyroiditis 2x, horrible panic attacks despite normal labs. FINALLY think I'm on the right track. You're AMAZING 👏 💖 SO inspiring. Truly!!! Wish more doctors like you existed in the US. 😔

Gary Breka is based in the US and big on talking about MTHFR genetic mutations as well as Dr Ben Lynch that wrote Dirty Genes. Fascinating stuff, Im new ish to discovering this information and sounds like we are on a similar path. I Did a private DNA methylation test found via Breka and also a homocysteine test (which was a low 4) traditional doctors here in the UK look at you like you are mad if you ask could this information be relevant.

I appreciated this interview so much, however, just because there is a focus on high most of the time it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be addressed. I felt like we only focused on low but Im HIGH. I did enjoy the education though. Thanks a ton

[@hassanhamza5614]

My level is also high. I was listening and expecting when Doctor will take about the high level homocystiene but the whole podcast was about low level.

[@Needless2say]

Heavy metals can block mtr and mtrr enzymes ( thats the converting enzymes moving homocysteine to methionine) . Homocysteine can be blocked from its conversion to Glutathione ( the gsh enzyme because of mold exposure) According to the EPA 70% of buildings have had water damage. The pathways chart Joanne Kennedy uses on her videos were created by Dr Ben Lynch. Its fascinating (and helpful) to better understand these pathways). I hope this helps.

Incredible interview & info. Thank you 🙏

[@deborahbergeron566]

Very disappointed why you addressed only low homocysteine and not HIGH homocysteine like I have. I guess the interviewer must have low:(

[@emmabateman418]

95% of the homocysteine information of youtube addresses high levels (I know as I have trawled through it all!) this is specifically of interest for those low levels. As high would to people with high. You have a choice of many many experts talking about it, just not this one interview.

[@phwshopping1426]

So with terrible histamine after Sibo treated with Xyfaxin last year., insomnia, rapid heart rate, rashes, bladder discomfort the list is long, I have a question! Is it a bad idea to take a multivitamin? I find even my multi vitamin with B vitamins in it, as they all do, make my histamine symptoms even worse. I have been on a low histamine diet for the past year. Debating another round of Xyfaxin thinking I still have too much bad bacteria.

[@randyalbertsw1992]

I have low homocysteine, used to be high before taking methylated vitamins. I take 3 capsules per day per directions, will drop back to 1.

[@vash-747]

What to do if you have both histamine and homocysteine ​​levels above normal values? Besides the histamine diet, what additional thing to normalize the levels of both? Does anyone find themselves in this situation?

[@Toggle_New_Top_2SeeCensored]

Me and yes i have the mhtfr genetic issue and currently with calcification in arteries but normal cholesterol. I'm thinking people like us need to avoid enriched foods (anything white in America) and take methylfolate but not an expert and still trying to get clarity

[@kto-totam2876]

My homocysteine went low because I took methylcabalamin 1000 mcg twice a day. I felt terrible, almost bedridden with severe POTS and histamines intolerance symptoms. My B1, B2 and B3 went down to a deficiency state but my ferritin finally went up. My Taurine and Cysteine are low. I am not sure what to do now. I am taking thiamine which helped with POTS and ataxia a lot, but I still feel horrible and got miomas growing like crazy. Please help. Should I take MSM to support sulfatation? Should I take B2, B3, NAC, Taurine? I don’t know what to start with? Which order?

[@aayamannami2221]

How are you feeling now? I was in the same state last year. I got so much better with low histamine diet and seeking health B minus

[@CynthiaSchoenbauer]

I don't tolerate sulfur.

[@kto-totam2876]

Is bone broth high in histamine? I didn’t get it.

[@Needless2say]

From what I have studied yes.

[@MKBlovesu]

Yes very high

[@ellanorevannin4147]

Yes but, if you make it yourself you can make it have less histamine. After separation the fat that hardens on top of the broth freeze it the broth! Also only make the broth in about three hour for less histamine. Then you can drink 1 tablespoon and see how you respond for the next three days.

[@Toggle_New_Top_2SeeCensored]

Still listening but what about those with mthfr genetic differences that don't metabolize folic acid well. I understand to take methylfolate instead but do we need to avoid folic acid enriched foods? I hace high homocysteine and normal cholesterol but all my doc can do is offer statins for the calcified arteries. I'm not satisfied with this.

[@dannybex]

Riboflavin helps convert folic to active forms.

[@Needless2say]

Dr Ben Lynch appears to be the authority on mthfr. He recommends against Folic acid containing foods because 45% of the general population can't convert it well. Supposedly there are 5 enzymes that have to function well to make Folic acid conversion to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate the active form for good methylation of which so many enzymatic systems rely on.

[@rosirg0106]

I need to take vitamin B12 but I wonder if it’s a good idea because I have histamine intolerance. Do you know if its ok to take? I also have low homocysteine and high lipoprotein (a).

[@taviareyes]

If you do decide to take it, find out what form is best for you. (Hydroxo, methyl, adenosyl, or cyano ) Genetic testing for SNPs may help you find out if you need a specific form.

[@Needless2say]

I have yet to hear of any Functional or Holistic Drs worth their salt ever recommend cyanocobalamin as a good source of b12.
