Conquering "ALLERGIES"

So, to conquer . . . we must understand . . .

So, let's take a moment to refresh . . .

"Diamine oxidase" (DAO) . . . is a "digestive enzyme" . . . produced in the kidneys, thymus and the intestinal lining of the digestive tract.

And its "primary" function is to "break down" excess "histamine" in the body.

Now . . . when the body produces "TOO MUCH" due to an injury, bug bite, pathogen, etc. . . .

Or . . . we consume "TOO MANY" . . . high histamine foods . . .

We can become "HISTAMINE INTOLERANT" . . .

Meaning . . . the body is now HOLDING excess "histamine" that it's NOT utilizing for our healing and defense system (immune system)

This histamine is NOW "free flowing" in the body . . . and CAN'T be eliminated . . .

And with this . . . it leaves us with issues like headaches, migraines, tinnitus, vertigo . . . digestive issues like IBS, constipation, diarrhea, satiety, flatulence or bloating . . .

And skin issues like . . .dry skin, atopy and dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema . . . just to mention a few.

So, simply put . . . "DAO" is the major enzyme involved in "histamine" metabolism and is "responsible" for ensuring a "steady" histamine level within the body . . . required for the BALANCE of the human body and our optimal health.

And when we take certain "medications . . . this now "DEPLETES" the natural production of DAO . . . causing an enzyme "deficiency"!!!

And the "medications" that can cause this would be . . .

"NSAIDs" for pain relief like . . . ibuprofen and aspirin

"Antidepressants" like . . . Cymbalta, Effexor, Prozac and Zoloft

"Immune Modulators" like . . .Humira, Enbrel and Plaquenil

"Diabetic Medication" like . . . Metformin

"Antiarrhythmics" like . . . Propanolol, Metaprolol, Cardizem and Norvasc

"Antihistamines" like . . . Allegra, Zyrtec and Benadryl

And "Histamine (H2) Blockers" like . . . Tagamet, Pepcid and Zantac

Now . . . all these elements "MAY" be giving us some "relief" from "histamine gone wild" . . . or . . . other ailments for "that" moment . . .

BUT . . . they're also "DECREASING" THE IMPORTANT "DAO ENZYME" PRODUCTION in the body.

Which in turn . . . is causing another whole array of symptoms.

And with this . . . WE WILL "NEVER" BE CURED OR GET BETTER!!!!

And what "foods" are the biggest offender that DECREASE . . . DAO enzyme production in the body???

Well . . . they would be . . .

Alcohol

Bananas

Chocolate

Cow's milk

Nuts

Papaya

Pineapple

And Shellfish

Okay . . . so now I'm sure you're thinking . . . what would a good "low histamine diet" be like???

Well . . . that would be "eliminating" all of the above . . .

And consuming an "anti-inflammatory" diet . . . high in Omega 3 fatty acids . . .

Just like my "Compliant Pattern Eating Diet" . . . or . . . the food and recipes in my "Compliant Cookbook" . . .

So, next week . . . let's talk about . . . "LIKE . . . SUPPORTS . . . LIKE"

And how it's involved with the DAO enzyme.

So, have you ever heard of this method of healing before???

Well . . . next week we'll discover this "ancient" belief . . .

So, have a safe and healthy weekend . . . and remember to be "mindful" in your world . . .
