While the insight gained from
@Violeta convinced me that Milk Thistle exacerbates toxicities by stimulating liver Phase I, and by products accumulate and recirculate waiting for (too slow) liver Phase II to process them, this past night I reached new conclusions about sleeping positions...
Yesterday before bedtime I took a probiotic mix containing
L. casei that I hadn't taken in several weeks. We know that
casei (and bulgaricus) raise histamines, but since my mix hopefully also contains some histamine-degrading strains, I wasn't worried about the issue.
About 1.5 hours later I had a maddening itchy bout in my lower calves, felt too warm overall, and spent the whole night tossing and turning, changing positions, and preferring to sleep on my stomach which is very unusual lately, especially in the
'FALCON SLEEPING POSITION' (formerly known as the 'partial swastika sleeping position') .
So Crit, it would be no surprise if your strange sleeping position was an expression of high histamine, would it?
