parasite treatment resolved mast cell issues

Post by Gabes-Apg »

this is only one person, so no guarantees that it will work for everyone with Mast Cell issues
albeit, in line with something i posted the other day, maybe these health issues are when a combo of microbes get to excess.

What I learned through my own research was that parasites actually stimulate mast cells in the human body (Urb & Sheppard, 2012)! The mast cells are stimulated because they are attempting to combat the parasitic infection. The parasites in question may be as small as a bacterium (Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease is technically considered to be a parasite), but they can also be quite large as well, such as tapeworms and roundworms. Contrary to popular belief, it is possible for people in so-called “developed” countries, such as the United States, to have parasites. If someone has a weakened immune system, their body can be a quite hospitable place for parasites to hide and flourish. Parasites can be consumed in undercooked food, picked up while traveling, and may even be transmitted via insect bites. There is even a theory that parasites are transmitted along with Lyme disease! Parasites can also live outside of the intestines in many different parts of the body. This may explain why the symptoms of Mastocytosis and Mast Cell Activation Disorder can occur in literally any location within the body, because mast cells exist in a variety of tissues and can therefore respond to the parasites in different locations. I think that histamine intolerance may also be a reaction to parasites, since the parasites stimulate mast cells and release histamine. When the body’s load of histamine is already high due to chronic mast cell activation internally, there will be very little “leeway” for the body to process histamine from exogenous sources such as food.
