Histamine is found naturally in the body. The body makes histamine. We also consume histamine. And the interesting thing about histamine is it is also part, it's released by mast cells. as part of our first response to offending organisms like viruses.

Exactly, yes. Type of white blood cell. Type of white blood cells, yeah. And the also interesting thing is that histamine actually works as a neurotransmitter. And when you think about this, this is really an interesting thing.

And as I was preparing for this, I sort of stumbled upon some things, which I thought was really quite fascinating, is that when you take antihistamine, what happens to you? You get drowsy. Exactly. So histamine, when it's at high enough levels, it stimulates the brain. Histamine is actually involved in the sleep-wake cycle.

Right. So it's a balance. Like, you know, too much histamine is bad. Too little histamine is also bad. So when you actually totally block histamine, you actually get sleepy. It'll actually be involved with the sleep-wake cycle. And modafinil, which is the drug that people take, that actually works on histamine. It's Pro-vigil. Pro-vigil, exactly. Actually, part of that works on the histamine.

So it keeps the histamine levels higher, so it keeps your brain sort of awake, if you will.
