Hi, given that gamma delta T cells inhibit mast cells in the gut, and promote food allergy tolerance, two simple dietary factors that promote gamma delta T cells are worth doing - eat lots of fruit and vegetables. To counter the extra calories, cut back on grains and sugars (if you are eating them) and any fats that are not essential fats. The stone age diet is an example of this. Bye, Alex
I took 5 mg zyrtec yesterday and 5 mg this am and it didn't knock me out. I chose zyrtec because I read it was the most helpful with swelling.
I bought zantac too and will start it as soon as I'm comfortable with the zyrtec. The pharmacist also said because of my swelling I need both h1 and 2. That's all I remember tho.
Re H2 receptors -- when they DO work in regulating histamine overload/sensitivity is mainly when they are used in combination with H1 antagonists. I cannot find my notes now but remember a couple of studies describing raised IgE levels when H2 (even H1 from what I can remember) blockers were used on their own. This effects was not present when a H1+H2 antagonists where used in combination.

Maybe your system has learned to adjust smooth muscle contraction in the arteries necessary to keep your brain supplied, but that still doesn't mean that other regions aren't undersupplied with oxygen.I noticed yesterday and today that I don't feel like I have orthostatic intolerance when I'm upright but when I lay down, a million cells thank me for it. I can tell that my hypoperfusion is just as bad
because I feel the blood going back into my upper organs. As always, it feels like my lungs are the last to relax
Hi, X. Then you might be interested to know that in the world of exercising, a new thing among trendy lo-carbers is waxy maize, which is a low GI carb and an expensive supplement. It's also low on the insulinogenic scale. I never followed that much about it for lack of interest, but I do know that an inexpensive alternative is corn starch.Three things that have helped me gain muscle strength or energy from
time to time are p5p, adb12 and eating something sweet before exerting myself. I always eat fruit, etc
when I'm doing chores or running errands. I can't function otherwise.
Oh and apparently corn starch .. Lol .. Tc .. X
from what I've seen the dosages of allergy meds is much higher than normal for people on mast cell protocals. Is this a problem for people with kidney or liver problems?
