> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>Lar, when I brought this up (histamine level went from 129 in October to 186 in late June), the Pfeiffer nurse said, "Well, it's a different season".......that's true, my allergies (like many) often go completely crazy during the Summer months as opposed to the Winter season....so does this give Pfeiffer a valid "excuse" why my histamine went up a lot despite their treatment plan? The bottom line is clear, that the levels went UP, just wondering if that is an acceptable retort on their part...perhaps it's just going to take longer than I had hoped???
It's a possible, and reasonable, confounding variable....exposure to a noxious stimulus. The only way to really answer that is to monitor histamine over a number of seasons, and see if a pattern emerges. What season was it when you were first tested? A re-test in the same season would give you a pretty good answer.
> Also, they just increased my methionine another 500 mg/day and the TMG an add'l 700 mg/day as well (those are both used in lowering histamine, particularly the methionine....take care Lar!!
The net effect is to increase SAMe, and methylation (one-carbon metabolism). That has global impact, not just on histamine. In the end, the question needing answer is "Do you feel better?"
