Resolution of my Histamine Intolerance

For many years I had a histamine intolerance induced skin issue which produced rather prominent red welts on my face.
That skin issue is now largely gone.
Again, I go back to the concept of grounding and how PRI addresses this issue.
As my vision and feet have now been addressed, my ability to sense the ground and pronate has increased.
As a result, my tension has decreased.
My guess is that my inability to sense the ground led to years and years of increased tension. Actually, this I'm completely sure of.
In turn, this increased tension drove excessive inflammation, as I reacted to foods and oils that under normal circumstances I would not have.
As my sympathetic nervous system tension decreased, so has my reactivity to those same foods and oils that used to make me break out.

For those who are confused: He started with his histamine story which sounded like certain foods was placing extra strain on his body. Then he went into his story about taking care of the extra tension on his body. Conclusion, by elimating the major thing that was putting his body out of balance, the foods he was experiencing the most issue with no longer caused as much of an issue. If ur body is comprimised, it can affect other systems. Now his body can put more emphasis on day to day functions, and what was once a major issue is not so much so. He found the root cause to his ailments. Hopefully that helps.

I too have noticed the correlation between posture correction and histamine intolerance. As my posture worsened I became a classic spring allergy sufferer (I did skin prick test, so it's 100% confirmed). This didn't make sense to me at first but as the symptoms occurred only for a few months of the year, so I always ignored it and kept focusing on the posture which was giving me so much more trouble. Long story short, although the pollen concentration in the area in the spring period remained the same, my pollen allergy magically vanished after getting better with my posture. Also, now I no longer need to take antihistamines which also caused to me some side effects such as brain fog.

Thank you for this. Doctors and friends think I am crazy. I have been dizzy for two months and it started after extreme stress and panic attacks over a break up, moving, child custody changes, heavy drinking ( beer only ) and working outside in the hot summer daily. Thought it was sinus infections, a stroke, etc., but I also started noticing that when I tried to drink even one beer all the sudden my head would feel full and I felt like I had a cold and then horrible headaches, stomach cramps, and the dizziness got worse! Also, the doctor said I am low on magnesium and prescribed over the counter supplements, so i am taking those, but they make me sick so not sure what to do about that. So now I am taking a histamine blocker DOA enzyme ( 4th day) we’ll see! And trying to eat a low histamine diet. Helps but still dizzy or off balance even, but not as bad. I noticed that when I stress out about what is going on the reactions get way worse!!!! So anyway I am going to try to lower stress, work out again, buy new shoes! Grounding etc Also I’m 9th grade I broke out in hives everytime someone would touch me so it became a joke to thump my arm or scratch your name in my arm with your finger nail and wait on the welts to pop up. It would stay for a while. That lasted for months and just went away with no rhyme or reason other than just allergies or hormones or something, but now thinking back. It’s when my parents got divorced. Maybe a coincidence. Who knows. Anyway thank you!!! And good luck and thanks to everyone who comments too! It’s helpful to have others to talk to! We’re not crazy!

[@bestonyoutube]

I have to say, this was the most bogus nonsense video Ive seen in a while, yet I am glad you found something which helps you. In the end I wanted to say, or ask, did you try supplementing copper before? All your issues might come from a copper deficiency. Just search on youtube and youll find some great videos explaining it. Too much stress can reduce copper, so maybe, just maybe, after you fixed your feet and eyes issues, that reduced stress and cortisol levels, and then balanced out copper up take again. Copper deficiency causes histamine intolerance, because your body cant produce the enzyme it needs to break down histamine.

[@MamaZShaman]

We must be patient as people "learn" what is happening to them a result of having elemental issues. I HTMA test most of my clients who get it so they can figure out IF they are copper deficient, some are copper excessive, most, don't under food products/food drugs as mentioned "pizza" is not "food." Histamine excess issues that produce skin elimination symptoms can also be derived from immune-stimulating intestinal parasites. The most important thing as a Medicine Woman of 38 years and Shaman, is, the journey! People are learning. I recommend they ALL do the HTMA and not just exclusively do serum blood testing. When they finally realize they are made of these elements, they have been domesticated and they are manipulated into industry funnels they wake up and they make the change, or, they go back to sleep (into the fog). Love, kindness, and patience - people are overwhelmed with the newest "operation," saturating their every waking moment with fear and incomprehensible 'attempts' to control of their every movement.

[@MagikarpPower]

been thinking about this for a few days. stress and trauma can create holes in the blood brain barrier. allergies are related to leaky gut... in a PRI context, your brain believes you are in trouble when you're stuck in a pattern. psychologically this is stressful and can weaken that barrier over time. this may account for the histamine intolerance although I have also considered compensatory muscle use inhibiting proper lymph movement/detox. additionally I think ADHD has quite a bit to do with trauma and can see different neurological effects when consuming certain foods like bone broth and coffee, bc of different mechanics with the blood brain barrier.

[@winxclubstellamusa]

NOO! ADHD is NOT brain fog and mental slowness caused by nutrient deficiencies, yeast, histamine, trauma, etc… that’s EXTREMELY ableist, ignorant, and insulting to say. We are born with the neurodivergence of ADHD which is the same set of genes as autism but expressed differently, and it’s symptoms are having a hyperactive mind a that does not shut up regardless of mood, that gets louder the more quiet the environment is, heightened senses, emotions, and empathy, sensory and auditory processing disorders, limited working memory, time blindness, executive function problems including, and difficulty starting and switching between tasks, and falling in the uncanny valley. And most of us actually get sleepy from stimulants like coffee and adderall, they don’t help at all. And all of that is just the tip of the iceberg. I was born very neurodivergent, and I have also been extremely health conscious and I’ve never eaten processed foods and not taken all of the vitamins and minerals. There is a MAJOR difference between neurodivergence and an unhealthy neurotypical. I’m addition to being born with many neurodivergences I have also developed CPTSD from how extremely traumatizing my childhood and early life was, and I used to have very bad brain fog for many years until I healed it, because the damage that trauma does to the brain is completely reversible, meanwhile, no neurodivergence can be changed. And when my brain was foggy it was still hyperactive!! The automatic voice was still running at hyper speed thinking for and by itself but the active voice was very weak and slow and foggy as was my memory. So once again, the extremely ableist and ignorant rhetoric of diminishing and purposely misunderstanding and spreading lies about the heavily documented neurodivergence of ADHD must end right now. Our lives are already hard enough because of how this neurodivergence is also a disability in every way.

[@MagikarpPower]

@@winxclubstellamusa its not caused by deficiencies, I said it was related to trauma. I have ADHD and I don't think its necessarily a disorder. there's a connection between stress and adhd and also stress and autoimmune. this is the best way I understand myself. my brain also goes a mile a minute and it can be addicted to stimulus, addicted to thinking. going fast is mostly a boon. it just manages to cope with trauma in new and interesting ways. I think some of the symptoms you describe are not necessarily ADHD but a response of the ADHD (aka sensitive) brain to trauma.

[@winxclubstellamusa]

@@MagikarpPower If you don’t fully relate to all of these symptoms then you just have fully reversible post trauma brain damage, not the neurodivergence and disability of ADHD, as ADHD is a BORN and complete brain mutation which must entail all of the symptoms which I stated since the very beginning of life. And neurodivergence CAUSES trauma! Not the other way around. People always bully and abuse us because we are different and we make people feel uneasy because of how we are different in countless, constant, overt and covert ways, even down to the body language. And neurodivergent women like myself are significantly more likely to be hyper-sexualized and sexually harassed and assaulted beginning from very young ages. I was BORN with extremely sensitive ears and eyes that darted around the room, I was never normal. And if you were born normal then whatever happened to parts of your brain is fully reversible, many people have done it. ADHD is NOT an “addiction” to stimuli, it’s the desperate need for it because that’s how our brain is wired! Neurotypicals only fidget when they are nervous, while neurodivergents NEED to stim and fidget and sway in order to prevent not just getting nervous but from panicking, because that is how much we are wired to need sensory stimulation. And I have always been able to hear electricity, and all of the small and loud sounds and actions in a room all at once, where the smaller sounds are actually louder than the loud ones, to the point of the electricity being a sharp, stabbing pain, that used to be excruciating when I was smaller. Auditory and sensory processing disorders plus heightened senses and emotions are an inextricable part of real ADHD. The academics are trying to change the name of this neurodivergence to dopamine disregulation disorder because the term ADHD is not descriptive enough, and does NOT take into account how we react to and process all forms of stimuli differently than the neurotypical, and even have been documented to have different metabolic processes and a higher sensitivity to light than a neurotypical. Your brain is NOT hyperactive brain, nor have you described anything about the ADHD properly at all. You don’t have the neurodivergence of ADHD at all, and even if you were ever diagnosed then you were an obvious misdiagnosis, as 50% of ADHD diagnoses are misdiagnoses, especially those given to children, because doctors refuse to listen, despite everything we say being exceptionally consistent, and the brain scans, academics, and scientists proving that we are telling the truth. The dusregulation and fog that trauma causes are fully reversible, the experts on CPTSD recovery have proven that, meanwhile, no neurodivergence can ever be changed. We are BORN with the brain mutations of dyslexia, autism, Tourette’s, and ADHD, no force or trauma or pill can ever change a neurotypical to a neurodivergent or vice versa. You can look up Michelle Lee Nieves, Pete Walker, and the Crappy Childhood Fairy for first hand accounts and methods of reversing trauma brain damage via strengthening the hippocampus and re-centering the brain back to its original state, whatever that original state was. So for the love of whatever you deem to be holy, PLEASE stop spreading lies about those with my disability, and stop appropriating the name of a back breaking burden which you are blessed to not have been born with. The lives of us neurodivergents are already hard enough, and fighting against ableist and ignorant misinformation like what you just spewed in order to prove that we really do exist only makes it harder.

Thanks for my favorite topic! I’m trying to figure out the same stuff for many years, pri techniques help me tremendously, no doubt. I also made all these weird tests but all is bull crap, just keep each cup not over, a cup of gluten, lactose, and histamine rich foods. Moderation is really key, you can eat everything but mindfully. My last conclusion that I’m on these days is that skin issues come from lungs problems. My left foot and left chain under the left lung just high-jacked (can’t sense the ground). Optics and orthotics also help to ground but don’t solve the root issue with my damaged lung from many years of smoking (10years), breathing in in the very toxic environments, and heavy metal fumes at work in the past. Now when I try to clean out my left lung with quality salts (pink, celtic, etc.) essential oils and cold exposure my skin breaks down very badly. I also figure out how to heal my damaged long thoracic nerve related to left winging scapula and whether foods actually impact the healing process or not. Mostly foods that heal lungs (like hot spices, onions, stringent fruits) cause skin breakdowns like itchy rashes and flare-ups. The least evil in my case in clearing the lung is by breathing through pri techniques, very true

[@skovpen12]

Covid caused a huge histamine release in my body. It started with an insane itch and urticaria, combined with an electric sound and sensation in my head. Then nausea for three months and fatigue for several months. Huge, itchy red patches appeared on my skin after a while and they have stayed on my body for several months. I ordered DAO (Di Amine Oxidase) enzyme pills that break down histamine and Quercetin, and those red patches disappeared in 5 days after starting taking these two supplements. I also feel much better, after being weak and without energy for months. I had a long period of cognitive problems as well, I couldn´t remember which day of the week it was, and I couldn´t organise or plan anything or find things in my house. After 7 months, I´m not yet over my covid, and I suspect that the start dose of virus was unusually high, because we had unvaccinated workers in my house before the covid. I suffer from birch pollen allergy, food allergies and histamine intolerance.

[@boxerfencer]

@@NealHallinan well I am willing to accept stress contributes. I just don't see arches causing the sort of stress, out of all the possible stresses possible, that would drive food intolerance symptoms. There's a difference between driving and contributing. I say that as someone with flat feet that hurt when I go for long without arch inserts and have at times developed painful spots on the undersides. I also say this as someone severely stressed at the moment, who is notably better from my histamine intolerance after figuring my trigger foods, despite these two prior conditions. Now when do I feel stress contributing more, as if it's "driving" responses? It's when I still have a high histamine item in my diet, a histamine releasing item, or perhaps a DAO blocking item. In fact, my symptoms are pretty low, all time low I would say, despite being particularly stressed at the moment.

[@rachaelmorrow6669]

@@bcorreal I might have been wrong and I think this channel means PRI postural restoration institute. From this video I learned that tending to some comfort assistance can aid in healing. Like anything that irritates you try to relieve. Wearing the right glasses, wearing insoles with real arch supports, don't spend 2 days in bed all day (get up and move some), take supplements regularly, cut out itchy tags from your shirts, relieving allergy symptoms, identify irritated skin and sooth the rash. I have fibromyalgia so without a cure I finally decided to chase down symptoms. Along the way I found a low histamine diet is very helpful, if you were interested. But this channel has several videos on a number of posture anomalies concerning pelvic tilts. So they do exercises to correct their posture. I asked some PTs about it but they were not at all helpful for my anterior pelvic tilt. Hope some of this helps.

[@itsBenChang]

From other videos I've watched, stress (cortisol) can be a contributor for histamine intolerance as well. I feel like the tension of not being able to feel the ground was causing extra stress on the body to regulate histamine levels.

[@shushimushi]

My skin have changed dramatically I even have scars. It's itching and looks like urticaria. Sometimes is over my entire body. Funny, but the itching it's intense on my knees and ears. I also lost my eyebrows and I'm starting to think it might be histamine, after the past 3,4 years with those issues. None of the doctors I have visited didn't found out what's wrong. I love drinking beer and I have noticed some connection.

I cannot prove I have histamine intolerance but I suspect I may have. I have noticed that certain supplements seem to make my mood worse and some alot better and perhaps this is also the case with food too but I don't know which ones. Vitamin c in the sodium ascorbate makes my mood really good and stable immediately whereas vitamin b and some other supplements makes my mood worse. Could it be that the vitamin c lowers my histamine? I seem always to have alot of congestion in the throat and mouth and nose and random skin rashes patches, skin sensitivity . I do eat a ton of chilli and wondering if this makes histamine worse.

[@tuulalarson2625]

Yes, vitamin C has an effect against histamine. I use 1 g of vitamin C daily, it has helped against my urticaria, until it became much worse and I started to take DAO pills.

[@ianpearson8976]

@@tuulalarson2625 i find if i take vitamin c my mood is immediately grounded.if i forget to take this for weeks, months then it seems i really start to over think things like my mind starts becoming like overactive .probably other supplements worsen the situation.The only reason i take sodium ascorbate or make my own with baking soda is that it dissolves alot easier in juice.oddly i measured my ph and find im very alkaline but they constantly tell us we are overly acidic so im not sure what is the reason for that.

[@tonymanuge1932]

histamine competes with norepinephrine for copper, ssri and snri's prevent the normal histamine metabolism, going off anti-depressants your body dumps histamine and there for copper, that is where the brain zaps come from not enough copper to produce norepinephrine. At least this is what I figured out for my issue. I don't get rashes just a stress response from eating most foods. Medical doctors are useless. Low copper is a common issue for folks with cptsd and or adhd.... the catalyst in my case. It didn't help that they had me on 4 drugs targeting the same serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine receptors.

I will go even a step further, switching to glasses rather than contacts has made a big difference to the last remaining items that would still cause blemishes. I can’t say why, except that glasses change my brain’s perception of visual space in a way that contacts don’t. Expanded space = relaxation.

[@cyberfunk3793]

@@NealHallinan Pretty sure shoes have nothing to do with the root cause, but can be a stessor that triggers the issues. Many things can trigger it but root cause is probably something deeper causing the high histamine in the first place. Mold is one cause I have heard many people mention and another big one is MTHFR gene mutations that cause problems with mehtylation and that ties directly to histamine levels (and levels of other things like dopamine, serotonin etc). Read about that methylation and DAO/HNMT and how one can help that with food and suplements if its the issue.
