We're seeing a lot of it. And it's not like there's one cause for mast cell activation. There are multiple causes. And I actually even, when I deep dived into the literature, one of the things that I stumbled upon was the effects of EMF on mast cells. EMF EMF is electromagnetic frequency. So like your cell phone background cell towers, Wi-Fi. Absolutely. Absolutely.

And there's some there's some work by a woman, Johansson, out of I think it's Sweden, who's done some work on the effects of EMFs on mast cell degranulation. And there's some good studies showing that EMFs are one of the things insusceptible individuals that cause their mast cells to release more histamine that drives this allergic inflammatory response.

Well, they oftentimes, uh, will react to every food. They're sort of the people who they can't, they, they, they have a more and more restricted diet because the more foods that they eat, it'll trigger because lots of foods contain histamine, uh, or we'll get broken down. Uh, histidine is an amino acid and that, uh, um,

When you consume foods that are high in histidine, things like meats have a lot of histidine, your body will actually break it down into histamine. And normally the body can process that, but when you have problems with either too much ingestion or too much production of histamine or not enough breakdown of the histamine, then you'll have problems with histamine intolerance.

And these are typically a lot of people who have food allergies. And Mark, I think you've done this yourself. This is really interesting, is the old way of treating food allergies was what? Chromalin sodium. Remember using that? It's actually a pretty good treatment for people who are really, really reactive to foods.

And the way that chromalin sodium, because chromalin is actually used for patients with asthma. Yeah, you inhale, it's an inhaler. It's an inhaler, exactly. It's a very effective drug for really bad cases. Chromalynsodium can be very, very helpful for patients who have severe histamine responses to foods.

body and their tissue because it's puffy swollen you can get edema in the legs you can see just people carrying a lot of extra weight and fluid yep there's often some type of histamine activation there well sure because well the mast cells which are the one the cells that contain histamine they're actually found in the spaces the interstitial spaces uh in the connective tissue of the body so that's why they get puffy because that those are where those cells that are high in histamine reside
