Yes. Yes.

Yes. Yes.

Yes. Yes.

And that's actually a poor man's way. I oftentimes will use that with patients to determine how much histamine they're having in the connective tissue, because the mast cells are the type of white blood cells that are in the connective tissue of the body. And when they have excess amounts of histamine in them, or they release histamine too easily,

you will get this thing called dermatographism where you can take your finger and stroke on the skin and you will form a red line and it'll stay there. And sometimes it'll get really welty and raised. And that will tell you that there is a problem with excess amounts of histamine in the body.

Yeah. And there's a term out now, which when I was in medical school, we didn't even have it. It's now called MCAS, Mass Cell Activation Syndrome. Like it's a real medical diagnosis. It's a real medical diagnosis. I mean, we're seeing a lot of it now. And the question is, is why are we seeing so much mast cell activation? Hmm. It's a it's a really it's a and I've been puzzling on this myself.

Yeah, I never took that class in med school. I know. Right. Exactly.

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.
