Vitamin C is a mast cell stabilizer, but at higher doses causes degranulation? That doesn't make sense.
One of the aspects I would like to learn about is the connection and correlations between mast cell activation, connective tissue abnormalities, and glutathione deficiencies.
Some on the forums have talked about using a combination of high Vitamin C and use of salt to indirectly affect and heal the methylation blocks. I had been reading and pursuing glutathione issues, but have dropped that quest as I apparently have pressing issues with mast cell activation.
First thing I am learning is that mastocytosis is rare and different from mast cell activation. Next thing is that mast cell stabilizers are more important and probably address the bigger picture as opposed to focusing only on histamine.
Did we wake this thread up, or what?
Mr.
@Sherlock, would truly appreciate your comments on this thread, as it was your observations that tipped me off to the mast cell connection.
I thought I was going mad this past winter, dealing with heightened, increased symptoms in several areas, including exhaustion, energy level, breathing and swallowing, more rashes, and a body-wide flare of arthritis from you-know-where. Quercetin has affected every area in a short time in positive ways.
Can't soak it in fast enough! I am very ill from these things, in bed sleeping every chance I get. I am also still making it to work, a zombie slogging through Jell-o to do so. The past couple of shifts were sooooooo much easier that I know I am on to something huge.
