All the Correct Remedies, No Improvement?

Exercise intolerance and sluggish healing are common problems in people suffering from chronic illness. For all of the great intentions, exercise machines are most often used as a place to hang clothes. It is the proverbial "catch 22," you know you need to exercise to get back to the health you desire, but your body is too weak and the post-workout pain it too much to endure, to continue working out. Many chronically ill people have a veritable pharmacy of half used and now expired natural and prescription bottles in their cupboards due to worsening symptoms or no relief when they took them. As you will see both situations are often from the same problem.

Blown Circuits in the Body

What most people, and unfortunately most doctors, don't know is that the many muscle groups of the body are set up on dedicated circuits, much like the circuits of your house. If you go to the circuit breaker box in your house you will see that there are many different circuits dedicated to the various areas of your house. 

In a circuit in the body you will find the following all sharing a somewhat dedicated electromagnetic circuit… one organ, gland, certain teeth, certain nerves, joints, and certain muscles. For example, the front two teeth on the upper and lower jaw sit on the same circuit as the kidneys, ears, pineal gland, and the psoas muscles on both sides of the body.

The big quadriceps muscles that are located on the top of your thigh, that help you climb stairs, sit on the same circuit with the small intestines, and so on... If there are problems anywhere on these circuits the body will not give 100% energy to the blown, dysfunctional circuit, so that you will not damage things further by being able to go full-tilt on a damaged circuit. 

So problems anywhere in the circuit from structural, chemical, stress-related issues, or bioenergetic "software/bioregulation" problems in the circuits will cause the entire circuit to "blow" and everything on that circuit suffers the same fate.

When these circuits are "blown," the muscles on these circuits will only work at about 40% of maximum integrity. “It isn’t a problem with not working out enough.” With just 40% of the normal strength available, there is not enough strength in the muscles to stabilize the joints, leading to pain, nor is there enough mitochondria (energy factories in the muscle fibers) to produce enough ATP (what your body uses for energy) to enable you to do many repetitions of your workout. 

Post workout pain is often due to the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles (loading up on Lipospheric Vitamin C before workouts can help minimize this from happening), the stirring up of toxins, as well as inflammation set up by the many micro-traumas in the tissues from the strain of working out without any circuit integrity. 

"Blown circuits" happen when there are any type of physical, chemical, stress, or bioenergetic problem in the body, not to mention when multiples of these issues are going on at the same time.

One can work out, and even make strength gains, but it will still be only about
40% of what should be available. Taking all the right sounding remedies, if they are not what is needed to turn on the circuits, will only provide brief symptom relief after which they stop working.

Working to detoxify the body, while always a good idea in this day and age, or killing bad bacteria will most often not result in turning on the full power to the circuits.

It would be nice if it were that easy, but it unfortunately requires a health care professional trained to test and treat the entire circuit...especially in any chronic illness.

60% Faster Healing?

Imagine how fast you would go, or how much more rapidly your body could heal, having 60% more integrity in the muscles!” 

Again, while eating and living with integrity are definitely steps in the right direction, only a doctor trained to identify and address the myriad of circuit problems can get your body truly reset. 

The key to understanding how important these connections are is that any problem anywhere in the circuit will cause everything on that circuit to “blow”, much like overloading the electrical circuit in your house. Everything on the circuit will suffer the same fate! 

So in the above example, if the tooth has a bad infection or is being affected by a large silver amalgam filling, or even a bad root canal, it will “blow” the energetic integrity of everything else on that circuit, and the psoas muscles will reflect the problem as a loss of strength.

Athletes depend upon their muscles to ultimately perform and excel in their sport. Few people understand that it is not enough to simply exercise a lot. Not if you want to become a truly world-class athlete, or to simply get back to health and endurance after a prolonged illness.

Can Instant Results be Truly Possible?

We have used this new understanding of body circuits to virtually instantly “cure” people who have
been paralyzed and others who have not been able to walk for years.  

It would be nearly impossible to do without the many testing and treatment options that we can bring to bear on each case. When asked “How can you get these amazing results so quickly?” I answer with, “When the circuit in your house blows, how long does it take the lights to come back on once you have flipped the switch back on?” “Instantly!” Healing, especially from any chronic illness, is a process, just getting the circuits online again can often achieve phenomenal, virtually instantaneous improvements in muscle strength and endurance, it can take months and years of work to get back to the level of physical strength and health that you desire.

Restoring Healing in Chronic Illness is like...

All the vitamins, supplements, and treatments in the world should be seen as numbers in a combination lock for the bank vault door, behind which lies the wealth of your health. Unless you get the numbers in the correct order, you will never get the door to open. This is why most chronically ill people have a virtual pharmacy in their cupboards of supplements and remedies, often given to them by top natural doctors, using all manner of muscle testing and computerized testing devices, all to no avail. 

You can have the right numbers (remedies), but in the wrong order, or the actual missing treatments are not from a pill, but need manual or energetic corrections, and the bank fault of your health will not open. 

To complicate things, the sicker you are, the longer you have been sick, the less likely it is that you will be able to heal at home on a generic protocol.

POTS and Its Correction

You may not know what POTS is, however you might be surprised to find several of your symptoms listed below. POTS is not a disease, but rather a collection of symptoms, which is why it is called a "syndrome." POTS stands for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. 

Aproximately 80% of people suffering from POTS are females. It is a very debilitating condition that very often brings normal life to a sudden halt. Many sufferers are bedridden for months to many years without much hope of improvement...until now.

I am going to present the causes and the solutions. With our innovative approach, we are very close to 100% success in eliminating POTS...without using any medications!

Symptoms of POTS

According to Dysautonomia International, POTS includes a wide range of symptoms. "

While the diagnostic criteria focus on the abnormal heart rate increase upon standing, POTS usually presents with symptoms much more complex than a simple increase in heart rate. Many POTS patients also experience fatigue, headaches, lightheadedness, heart palpitations, exercise intolerance, nausea, diminished concentration, tremulousness (shaking), syncope (fainting), coldness or pain in the extremeties, chest pain and shortness of breath. Many people are misdiagnosed with Panic and Anxiety disorders.

Patients can develop a reddish purple color in the legs upon standing, believed to be caused by blood pooling or poor circulation. The color change subsides upon returning to a reclined position. It is fairly common for POTS patients to have a drop in blood pressure upon standing, but some POTS patients have no change or even an increase in blood pressure upon standing.

POTS sufferers often have hypovolemia (low blood volume) and high levels of plasma norepinephrine while standing, reflecting increased sympathetic nervous system activation. Approximately 50% of POTS patients have a small fiber neuropathy that impacts their sudomotor nerves.

Causes of POTS

Although mainstream medicine seems to feel the best action is to treat the various symptoms of POTS individually through medication, we have found profound and lasting improvements can be achieved often in just a few weeks when the causes of POTS are addressed. 

POTS is primarily caused by dysregulation of the brain and the heart. The brain and the heart are like the dual-processors of the computer that runs the entire body. The brain and heart must remain synchronized in order for everything to work correctly. What happens in POTS is a corruption of the software and communication between the brain and heart, which throws off everything else in the body. 

POTS can be initially caused by combinations of infections, toxins, acute or prolonged stress, EMF interference, mental and physical trauma, poor diet, and medication. While each of these must be addressed, thankfully the correction of POTS is often rapid, because what each of these potential causes did to the body was to desynchronize the brain waves and the heart waves, as well as cause the brain waves to become stuck in specific frequencies in each of the lobes of the brain.

The many heart and circulatory problems seen in POTS can be caused by Lyme Endocarditis as a result of metabolic toxins produced by the spirochetes (bacteria) of Lyme. The primary toxin identified through clinical research is the accumulation of ammonia (NH3) in the heart, brain, and other infected tissues.

While eliminating the toxins and the bacteria can create a favorable environment for the body to be restored, the POTS symptoms often remain. In fact, the POTS symptoms often remain even after every potential cause has been addressed, because until recently, there were no effective ways to address the desynchronized and stuck brain and heart waves.

The three primary corrections for POTS:

1. Synchronize the Brain and Heart waves (NeuroCardial Synchronization™)
2. Enabling the brain to correct its stuck brain waves (Brain Wave Optimization®)
3. Addressing overall structural and functional integrity and biocoherence of the body

Synchronizing the Brain and Heart waves

In the following link I introduce and discuss the profound new innovation called NeuroCardial Synchronization™, that was developed at the Hansa Center to specifically address the heart and brain disturbances of POTS. http://ehlradio.com/ArchivedShows/2014/051114ehl.mp3 Keep reading to learn how modern phonocardiograms have changed what is possible in diagnosing and treatment functional heart problems.

Although it is difficult to read this picture, the blue box at the top left shows what a normal phonocardiogram should look like. Each of the other boxes show some of the problems that can be found in a dysfunctional heart.

Phonocardiography, is the use of a high-definition, digital, electronic stethoscope, linked to a computer program in order to record the sounds of the heart. From these recordings we can identify problems in heart that are often undetectable using ECG's and other conventional heart tests. 

Phonocardiology, when used in tandem with the powerful testing ability of BioResonance Scanning™ is a system of treatment now called NeuroCardial Synchronization™(NCS). Since NCS is such a new innovation, a Google search will likely not get any hits on the topic. Due to the fact that I developed this technology, and we are not a training/teaching facility, but a treating facility, NCS is only available at the Hansa Center for Optimum Health, in Wichita, Kansas. There are plans to train other doctors in future.

Phonocardiology has the potential to identify problems in the heart arising from toxins, infections, hypoxia from poor hemoglobin synthesis, emotional and mental stress, structural, biochemical, and neurological problems. 

Correcting the problems identified on Phonocardiogram requires the doctor to determine what is interfering with the optimum structure and function of the problem area. This may be a musculoskeletal interference, a neuromuscular interference, an neuropsychological interference, a nutritional deficiency, a metabolic toxicity, allergy, just to name a few, but in all cases the treatments are using natural means to work to restore the optimum function and structure of what has gone wrong. No pharmaceuticals or invasive treatments are ever used by our doctors.

It appears that virtually every chronic illness has different heart problems associated with the illness. This shouldn't be a surprise when one considers that the heart plays such a huge role in regulating all of the DNA of the body, and is indeed secreting hormones that influence every tissue and organ in the body. 

People treated with NCS have often stated that they experience not just a disappearance of their heart rhythm problems, but a greater sense of well-being on every level, as sense of well-being, peace, is the normal state of the heart that is functioning optimally.

Enabling the brain to correct its stuck brain waves

One might consider the brain waves to be synonymous to the software program that runs the body. The brain waves should normally be able to change and adapt to whatever change or challenge that arises from our internal or external environment. 

The brain waves of every POTS sufferer are stuck in either a highly activated Sympathetic or Para-Sympathetic brain wave pattern. This might be thought of like the gas pedal being fully pressed when the car is in "park," in the case of a stuck Sympathetic brain wave pattern, or the car is not even turned on, yet you need to get somewhere, in the case of a stuck ParaSympathetic brain wave pattern. Neither condition allows the body to respond correctly to any given situation.

The brain waves are influenced by any dysfunction in the body, and the body is influenced by any brain wave problems. As the body heals, the brain waves reflect that healing. The healing technologies our doctors use, such as NeuroCardial Synchronization, and NeuroPhotonic Therapy can target specific areas of the nervous system and help facilitate the brain's ability to correct it's brain waves so that a greater range of adaptability to situations can be once again restored. One can see that when this occurs, virtually every condition affecting mankind would be greatly benefited.

Being Sick for Christmas

It is almost Christmas. Many families and friends are getting together the world over to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Getting together with friends and family holds the potential of opening up old wounds and unforgiveness from Christmas-past. 

Resentment is a form of unforgiveness. 

Most people reading this are sick with long-standing illness. All they want for Christmas is health, and at the very least to be loved and shown compassion. Many were desperately hoping to be healthier for this Christmas so that they would not need to pretend to be feeling good so that others who may or may not understand would not get upset. The stage is set potentially for hurt feelings and renewed resentment.

To the rest of the world, it is a season for giving. In an ideal world it is also a season of forgiving.

You cannot be your best self when you live with resentment of the illness, resentment of the detour that your life has taken, resentment of the perception that other people have undeserved health that they take for granted, resentment that you are once again stuck in bed in your room while everyone else has fun, and unforgiveness for the past offenses of the friends and family you are about to meet with this Christmas. 

Unforgiveness and resentment is indeed like drinking poison, yet expecting the other person to suffer! The only problem is that you are the one who is suffering, in body, mind, and spirit. The reality is you are letting that person's offense still affect you. 

As much as we all would like people to act a certain way, to accept and nurture our feelings and situation, it really is not how other people need to change that determines if we are going to be stable and happy. In the same way that we know no one can make us happy, no one can make us sad or anything else!
  

If we view our interactions with the more challenging people in our world as competition, when they are ugly or insensitive, you get to win the competition by holding your happiness regardless of what they do. Nothing thwarts a negative person like someone who is unaffected by their ugliness.

Not only that, but if you allow, and yes there is a moment when you allow yourself to get upset, your cellular biochemistry is cranking out the biochemicals that aggravate all of your symptoms, as well as promoting a condition where the bacteria thrive and the neurotoxins turn your body into a toxic waste dump. 

This Christmas season remember, it is not how others need to change in order for us to be happy! It is not how our illness must change in order for us to be happy this Christmas and every day. 

Forgiveness is not a process, it is a decision. Make the decision today, and inside every moment, to be the personification of love...to embody love...regardless of the actions and words of others, and regardless of the illness. You can be sick and be miserable, or you can be sick and love. 

I am so sorry if you don't feel great this Christmas. Keep holding the faith that indeed this too shall pass! I am sending you a big hug and prayers for renewed health and that you be surrounded only with love and compassion!

Histamine Intolerance; The Cause of Hundreds of Symptoms

Histamine Intolerance Syndrome

There are not many issues that can cause so many problems in virtually every area of the body than Histamine Intolerance (HIT). The following is from a lecture I gave the doctors at the Hansa Center. Although every doctor has been extensively trained at the post-graduate level in virtually every pathology known to mankind, as you will see here, HIT is a specialty of its own, since there is so much to know. The following are just the bullet points outlining everything you would want to know about HIT.

Histamine Intolerance has been called a "Pseudo-Allergy," because many of its symptoms appear to be allergies when in fact they are not truly IgE-mediated, Type-1 hypersensitivity reactions typically seen in those suffering with allergies.

It is likely that some level of histamine intolerance is aggravating the condition of any person suffering from the many chronic, degenerative or inflammatory illnesses. Without our BRS testing to help guide our doctors, it would be a very difficult quagmire to navigate a person to resolution. Thankfully we can often rapidly find and address many of the possible causes, though it is definitely a lengthy process to dig deep enough to figure out all the various things that have created this systemic issue and how to then facilitate the body's restoration of how it handles histamine.

This article will also provide you with the information of things you need to avoid in your diet, as well as medications, and even natural supplements that might be promoting the overproduction of histamine.

Before you say, "This isn't my problem" please read this article thoroughly and possibly print it out for your doctor so that they can possibly help you.

What is the difference between Allergies and Histamine Intolerance?

• Allergies are an IgE mediated, histamine response to an allergen, i.e., pollen or cat dander.

• Histamine Intolerance (HIT) is a toxic response by the body due to the excessive accumulation of endogenous or exogenous histamine from an inability of the body to efficiently breakdown histamine and hypersensitivity of cell antigen receptors.



Histamine Intolerance is caused by:

– The Over production of Histamine

– The decreased ability of the body to breakdown histamine

• Decreased Diamine Oxidase (DAO) enzyme production in the body

– Histamine is broken down by oxidative deamination by DAO (former name: histaminase)

• Decreased Histamine N-Methyl Transferase (HNMT) enzyme production in the body which is needed to breakdown histamine.

– Histamine is broken down by ring methylation as a result of histamine-N-methyltransferase (HNMT)

See how many systems and symptoms can be caused by HIT

Symptoms of Histamine Intolerance (HIT)

• Histamine serves various functions in our body. This is why histaminosis may trigger a wide range of symptoms, affecting different organ systems.

• People suffering from HIT may display highly diverse symptoms. Every person has individual weak spots, which may be afflicted earlier than other parts in the body. Sufferers may be troubled by many of the following symptoms, either simultaneously or alternately

• Some afflictions are chronic or very frequent, others may only occur sporadically. The symptoms are so varied that the people affected by HIT often do not suspect a single trigger

HIT and Gastro-intestinal and Urinary Symptoms

• The most frequently observed troubles that occur with HIT are acute or chronic gastrointestinal symptoms.

• Irritable stomach or an irritable bowel respectively. A direct connection between food intake and the symptoms is often difficult to discern. This is due to the fact that the ingredients of ingested foods are only slowly absorbed by the body during the bowel transit time, which may last several hours, so that problems may only manifest themselves with a considerable delay.

• Eating aged or leftover foods, or those with high histamine content, may trigger abdominal cramps and severe diarrhea within 15-30 minutes.

• Digestive problems, flatulence, abdominal pain, stitch, stomach or intestinal cramps, frequent or chronic diarrhea, morning diarrhea

• Histamine increases the motility of the bowel movements, so that the bolus passes the intestines faster than normal, which impairs the absorption of nutrients because of the short retention time.

• More rarely also constipation or constipation alternating with diarrhea

• Heart burn, acid reflux (increases HCl)

• Inflammatory gastro-intestinal disorders, irritable bowel syndrome

• Nausea, vomiting

• Frequent and/or painful, burning urination, interstitial cystitis.

• Symptoms similar to gastric flu (gastroenteritis)


HIT and Nervous System Symptoms

• Histamine plays a role in the regulation of the circadian rhythm and acts as neurotransmitter. Histamine stimulates the production of melatonin.

• High levels of histamine (as well as high melatonin) in the body may lead to a wide range of neurological symptoms. Neurological symptoms are in particular pronounced with a HNMT enzymopathy. Headache, fatigue, sleep disturbance may also be typical symptoms of a DAO enzymopathy.

• Headache, migraine, feeling of pressure in the head, dizziness

• Fatigue, loss of energy, lack of motivation, exhaustion

• Insomnia, problems falling asleep or sleeping through the night, only superficial catnapping without deep sleep, dreamlessness

• Lack of concentration, impairment of cognitive performance, slowness

• Tourette's Syndrome

• Noise sensitivity, search for tranquility and uneventfulness, vulnerability for sensory overload

• susceptibility to stress, impaired ability to withstand stress, feeling of burnout (feeling of mental and nervous exhaustion and breakdown)

• Clearing of throat in stress situations

• Tension, nervousness, jumpiness (also without external cause), restlessness, tingling sensation, feeling of caffeine overdose

• Muscle twitching, tremor, clenched jaws, grinding of teeth (bruxism), worn down teeth

• Symptoms similar to those of poisoning with a mild neurotoxin

• Melancholia, sadness, weepiness, depressive moods, depressions (often without visible cause)

• Thoughts of suicide

• Temporary loss or impairment of the sense of smell

• Personality changes, perhaps other mental/neurological disturbances

HIT and Cardiovascular System

• Drop in blood pressure, low blood pressure (hypotension)

• Cardiac arrhythmias

• Palpitation (stronger heart beat caused by a release of adrenaline)

• Racing heart (tachycardia), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia (POTS)

HIT and Endocrine System

• Altered insulin sensitivity

• Dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps),

• Amenorrhea

• Endometriosis

• Development disorder, failure to thrive

HIT and Immune System

• Increased susceptibility to infectious diseases, frequent infections

• increased susceptibility for inflammations, inflamed areas

• Sore throat

• Hoarseness

• Flulike symptoms without defined onset of disease, prolonged malaise, pain in the limbs

• Sinus infection (sinusitis): frontal sinusitis, maxillary sinusitis, inflammation of other sinuses such as sphenoid or ethmoid sinuses

• Constant swelling painful lymph nodes

• Tonsillitis, adenoid vegetation (adenoid hyperplasia), possible surgical removal of tonsils. (The tonsils serve the immune defense. Their removal may further acerbate the increased susceptibility for infectious diseases.)

• Lump in one's throat

• Autoimmune illness. Inflammation of connective tissue: tissue underneath the skin with inflammatory pain or tenderness

• Painful feeling of inflammation, heat or pressure in the head, chronic (non-bacterial) inflammation of the brain (chronic encephalitis)

• Painful/burning bladder, desire to void, frequent urination (similar to bacterial bladder infection)

• Conjunctivitis, irritated reddened eyes, itching of the eyes.

• Yellow-white mucus secretions collect in the corners of the eyes.

• Misted, impaired vision

• Inflammatory rheumatic diseases, rheumatoid arthritis (e.g. knuckle joint rheumatism)

• Soft-tissue rheumatism: e.g. pain in the tendons or joints, back pain: the back muscles hurt similar to a strained muscle/muscle ache (muscular rheumatism, inflammation of a muscle)

• Periodic toothache, inflammation of the gums or wisdom teeth

• Herpes simplex labialis (oral herpes, cold sores) or symptoms similar to herpes (e.g. badly healing skin cracks)

HIT and Skin

• Excessive sweating, attack of sweating, night-time sweating, perspiring hands/feet, hot flashes

• Flushing of face following meals (flush), heat build-up, facial skin feels slightly irritated

• Skin blemishes, acne, pimples, blackheads, overproduction of sebaceous gland, oily skin

• Rashes, flushes, itching, eczema, hives (urticaria)

• Atopic eczema, Atopic dermatitis, Itching (e.g. itchy scalp, itchy vaccination scars)

• Physical irritation such as scratching, strokes or heat triggering flashes/rash or itching

• Upper arms covered in little red spots/pimples, partially keratinised or purulent (impaired keratinisation), perhaps in connection with pollen allergies?

• Hands with burning/aching inflammation/blisters/nodules/calluses

• Sun allergy: the skin goes very quickly red in the sun, but the sunburn disappears on the following day.

• Dry lips

HIT and Respiratory Symptoms

• Bronchial Asthma

Perennial rhinitis, swelling of nasal mucous membrane, runny nose (rhinitis, rhinorrhea) especially after food intake, also independent from type and histamine content of food, possibly aggravated by cold/smoke/smog/smells

• Blowing the nose may lead to nosebleed (because of increased permeability of the blood vessels)

• Aphtha lesions of the oral mucosa, which become small yellow-white holes/wounds that hurt and will not heal for days and sometimes months. In addition to the oral mucosa, some papillae on the tongue may hurt like an aphtha.

• Chronic cough, constant tickly throat, dry cough, bronchitis, irritated bronchia

• Constant clearing of the throat, particularly in stress situations

• Sputum: viscid mucus to expectorate, frequent clearing of throat, perhaps also breathy vocal cords, particularly after sumptuous meals (similar to cystic fibrosis)



HIT and Fluid Regulation Symptoms

• Edema (Swelling because of fluid retention in the interstitial tissue)

– Swollen eyelids

– Leg swelling

– Abdominal bloating.

Possible Miscellaneous HIT Symptoms

• Sensitivity to EMF pollution, WiFi, etc.

• Sensitive to Geopathic stressors

• Sensitive to Enviropathic stressors

DAO vs HNMT (The two pathways your body has to break down histamine)

• Diamine Oxidase enzyme (DAO) expression is restricted to specific tissues; the highest activities are shown for small intestines, ascending colon, and for placenta and kidney. DAO is responsible for scavenging extracellular histamine (i.e., after ingestion of histamine-rich food) after mediator release.

• Histamine N-Methyltransferase enzyme (HNMT) is widely expressed in human tissues; the greatest expression is in kidney and liver, followed by spleen, colon, prostate, ovary, spinal cord cells, bronchi, and trachea. HNMT is regarded as the key enzyme for histamine degradation in the bronchial epithelium. HNMT can convert histamine only in the intracellular space of cells.

Sources of Histamine and the cellular release of Histamine

• Foods containing histamine

• Mast cell dysregulation releasing excessive histamine

• Mental/Emotional Stress

• Allergies (endogenous or exogenous antigens)

• Physical stress

• Medications

• Geopathic Stress

• EMF/Enviropathic stress

• Inflammation

Examples of Medications that influence histamine levels

• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen)

• Antidepressants (Cymbalta, Effexor, Prozac, Zoloft)

• Immune modulators (Humira, Enbrel, Plaquenil)

• Antiarrhythmics (propanolol, metaprolol, Cardizem, Norvasc)

• Aspirin – Histamine liberator

• Amitriptylene – DAO blocker

• Valium – DAO Blocker

• Lasiks – DAO Blocker

• Codeine – Histamine Liberator

• Augmentin – DAO Blocker

• Chloroquinine – DAO Blocker and Histamine liberator

• Quinine – Histamine liberator

• All X-ray contrast – Histamine liberator

• Metoprin – HNMT blocker

• Opiates (Heroin/Morphine…) – Histamine liberator

• Thiamine/Vit B1 – Histamine liberator

The effect of stress on histamine levels

• Histamine release increases during the periods of panic attack, especially when the adrenergic, “fight or flight” response is at its peak.

• Histamine factors into the fight or flight because H3 histamine receptors in the brain promote the most "wakeful" firing pattern. In fact a sudden rush of histamine in the brain could contribute to a schizophrenic episode.

• Histamine is involved in panic events by causing a closing of the airways in the lungs. When released in the lungs, histamine causes the airways to swell shut in an attempt to close the door on offending allergens and keep them out. Panic attack periods are known for the sense of weight or contraction on the lungs.

Effects of Sleep on Histamine

• Sleep--It has been shown that histaminergic cells have the most "wakeful" firing pattern of any neuronal type. They fire rapidly during waking, and completely stop firing during sleep.

• The cell bodies of neurons which release histamine as a neurotransmitter are found in the posterior hypothalamus, in various tuberomammillary nuclei. From here, these histaminergic neurons project throughout the brain, to the cortex through the medial forebrain bundle.

• Antihistamines, substances that block the H1 histamine receptors improve sleep.

• Destruction of histamine releasing neurons, or inhibition of histamine synthesis leads to an inability to maintain vigilance.

• H3 receptor antagonists (which stimulate histamine release) increase wakefulness.

Influence of Histamine on Sex

• Histamine is released as part of sexual arousal from mast cells in the genitals, and histamine release has been connected to the sex flush in women.

• The female orgasm can be facilitated by supplemental folic acid along with niacin, which will increase histamine release.

• Men with high histamine levels may suffer from premature ejaculations.



Four types of histamine receptors in the body (H1, H2, H3, H4)

H1 Receptors

• Ileum contraction

• Modulate Circadian rhythms

• Itching

• Systemic vasodilation

• Broncho-constriction (allergy-induced asthma)

• pain and itching due to insect stings

• Are the primary receptors involved in allergic rhinitis symptoms and motion sickness.

• Initiates release of intracellular stores of Ca2+ and opens Voltage gated Calcium channels.

H2 Receptors

• speed up sinus rhythms

• Stimulation of gastric acid (HCl) secretion

• Smooth muscle relaxation

• Inhibit antibody synthesis, T-cell proliferation and cytokine production

H3 Receptors

• Decrease Acetylcholine, Serotonin and Norepinephrine neurotransmitter release in Central Nervous System (CNS)

• Presynaptic autoreceptors

H4 Receptors

• Found primarily in bone marrow and white blood cells. It is also expressed in the colon, liver, lung, small intestine, spleen, testes, thymus, tonsils, and trachea.

• Mediate mast cell chemotaxis. Histamine was shown to mediate signaling and chemotaxis of mast cells via the H4 receptor. This mechanism might be responsible for excessive mast cell accumulation in allergen sensitive tissues.

Problems with Antihistamines

• In HIT syndrome, the OTC and prescription antihistamines will cause of worsening of symptoms.

• Most over-the-counter antihistamines only block the H1 and/or H2 receptors

– The excessive histamine is still circulating so it can be forced more to the H3 and H4 receptor pathways

– H3 and H4 receptors are more related to Headaches, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, circadian rhythm problems, arousal, insomnia, appetite issues, memory problems, learning, and body temperature problems.

Methods to address Histamine Intolerance

• Eliminate foods high in Histamine (temporarily or long term)

• BRADE allergy desensitization with NeuroPhotonic Therapy (Available at the Hansa Center only)

• Eliminate medications that block DAO or HNMT, or that liberate histamine from the cells.

• Use BRS to identify remedy support the biochemical pathways to enable the body to produce DAO and/or HNMT.

• Restore probiotics, fecal microbiome transplants.

• Supplement diet with Diamine Oxidase (DAO), such as Hist-DAO (Xymogen)

• Treat Mental/Emotional (HPA axis) stress issues with BRS testing.

• Stabilize IgE mediated prostaglandin activation of mast cell release of histamine. (gamma linolenic Acid…Evening Primrose oil, Borage Oil, Black Currant Seed oil.)

• Oxford University Peptide shots (Amino acid shots) to block the histamine receptors at the cellular level.

Oxford University Peptide Injections

• An antigen must first be attached to cell surface receptors on mast cells. This triggers a response that often includes the release of histamine. Most allergies involve the release of histamine and other pro-inflammatory substances.

• The Oxford Peptides (U.S. = Amino Acid Injections) physically block the receptors so that antigens cannot attach to the cell receptors, therefore no histamine is released by the mast cells.

Antihistamine Supplements 

• Allermac (Jernigan)

• HistDAO (Xymogen)

• HistoCal (NutriWest)

• Resveratrol

• Turmero

• Whole System Histozyme (Nutriwest)

• Total CMO (NW) (autoimmune)

• Phoenix (Dr. Recommends)

• Isopathic Phenolics

• All homeo categories, Dairy, Beautox,

• Vitamin C

• Vitamin E

• Sulfur (MSM)

• Essential fatty acids (GLA)

• Bromelain

• Boswellia (Frankincense)

• Pancreatic enzymes (Digest, Total Enzyme, Carbo-zyme, Amylase)

• R-lipoic acid

• Glucosamine hydrochloride

• Proanthocyanidins (Plant pigments)

• N-Acetyl Cystiene





• Allergic reactions typically have an adrenal component. Cortisol, is a strong anti-inflammatory agent. For this reason proper adrenal function plays an important role in mediating the histamine release and inflammatory reactions that produce the symptoms experienced with allergies.

• A vicious circle occurs with adrenal fatigue and the tendency to having allergies. The more histamine that is released the harder the adrenals have to work to produce more cortisol, thereby the more fatigued the adrenals become, which increases allergic reactions in a vicious circle.

Interactions of Nitric Oxide and Histamine

• Increasing Nitric oxide will down-regulate the release of histamine. (NO Saliva test strips; treat with Neo-40, NOx…)

• Histamine stimulates NO synthesis and release.

• Too much NO increases histamine as the body strives to bring down the high NO. (Be careful when treating low NO that new symptoms are not created by causing the over production of NO.)

• Several factors increase levels of NO in the body: Allergies (histamine), poor iron status, hypoxia (oxygen deficiency), estrogen dominance and Carbon Monoxide exposure.

Dietary Recommendations and Histamine (While eliminating high-histamine foods from your diet is a great idea, diet alone is NOT a long term correction for the underlying HIT problems. You must work with your doctor to correct the enzymatic and histamine metabolic pathways.

• Avoid or reduce eating canned foods and processed or ready made meals.

• Avoid or reduce eating ripened and fermented foods (older cheeses, alcoholic drinks, products containing yeast)

• Histamine levels in foods vary, depending on how ripe, matured or hygienic the foods.

• As much as it is possible, only buy and eat fresh products.

• Don’t allow foods to linger outside the refrigerator – especially meat products

Foods High in Histamine

• Alcohol, primarily wine, champagne and beer

• Pickled or canned foods – sauerkraut. pickles, mayonnaise, olives

• Matured cheeses, including goat cheese

• Cocoa and chocolate

• Nuts

• Papaya

• Beans and pulses

• Tomatoes

• Wheat germ

• Additives – benzoate, sulphites, nitrites, glutamate, food dyes

• Fresh vegetables (except tomatoes, spinach, avocado, and eggplant)

• Dairy substitutes: coconut milk, rice milk, hemp milk, almond milk

• Cooking oils: olive oil, coconut oil

• Leafy herbs

• Herbal teas

Effects of Low Histamine (Histopenia)

• Histapenia (Low Histamine): It is found that 30-40 % of people with schizophrenia have low whole blood histamine levels and are over-methylated.

• People with low histamine tend to have more severe mental disorders and hallucinations, paranoid thoughts with less pronounced obsessions, despair, depression, low libido, anxiety, nervous legs and grandiosity.

• People with low histamine often have a multitude of food allergies and environmental allergies but they do not typically have seasonal allergies.

• Approximately 25% of bipolar patients have low histamine levels.

Biochemistry of Histopenia

• Low “Whole blood histamine”

• Low blood zinc

• Low basophils

• Elevated levels of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.

• Elevated copper, which is a brain stimulant and destroys histamine; causing brain dopamine levels to rise; copper then oxidizes catecholamines such as dopamine thus propagating neurotoxin formation. This causes paranoia and hallucinations in younger individuals, but depression may predominate in the older ones.


Testing for Histamine Intolerance (HIT): (Not all of these test must be performed to diagnose HIT.)

• Histamine Determination, Whole Blood
• Serum quantitative, Diamine Oxidase Activity Test
• Histamine 50-Prick Skin Test
• Serum Tryptase levels are persistently above 15 ng/mL
• 24-hour, Urine histamine metabolite, PGD2
• 11-β-prostaglandin F2 alpha

I'm no psychic, but I can predict your adrenal symptoms!

I am going to show you how most of your symptoms are very predictable and how they are all connected to each other. This is a long post, however if you want to finally get well from whatever diagnosis you have been given you should read all of this post.

Imagine you are on a safari. It is a pitch black night outside and you are in a tent in Africa. A lion roars nearby and you are thinking about how flimsy the fabric is to keep that lion from coming in and eating you! Your sympathetic nervous system kicks into high gear! This is the "fight or flight" mode of your Autonomic Nervous System (ANS).

Your sympathetic nervous system is a built -in, automatic (autonomic) mechanism that increases your ability to survive, by either vigorously fighting the lion, or running away to fight another day! It is very predictable what your sympathetic nervous system will do in this stressful situation with the lion. All of your senses will go on maximum alert. The pupils in your eyes will dilate widely in order to see the slightest indication of the lion. Your ears will strain, to hear the slightest noise. Your muscles will ripple and tremble with tension as huge amounts of energy have been diverted to the muscles so that you have super-human reflexes and strength!

In the super stimulation of the sympathetic nervous response to the roaring lion, your bladder can empty without warning, in order for you to flee or fight unimpeded by a full bladder. It is a quick thing to urinate, something you could possibly do even while running or fighting, however a bowel movement takes too long. In the time it takes to have a BM the lion could pounce and you would be defenseless! So your sympathetic nervous system causes the colon to shutdown.

The meal you ate sits like a brick in your stomach. The sympathetic nervous system shut down digestion, diverting the energy to the muscles. After all, what is more important, digesting or fighting and/or running away from a hungry, man-eating lion?

Blood rushes to the head and the heart begins to increase its energy, beating hard and fast, to get ready for the upcoming fight or flight. The adrenal glands secrete cortisol to open up the cells to receiving more blood sugar and thyroid hormones, as adrenaline supercharges the entire body. The lion roars again, closer this time. The sympathetic nervous system causes the thyroid to crank out more T3 and brings more of its reserve T4 online to be converted to T3 as needed in order to increase overall cellular receptivity to blood glucose.

The skin tightens and every hair stands on end like little antennae, sensing the slightest change in the breeze. Every aspect of the body is on high alert. Your body is maximally sensitive to any change in its environment. You are jumpy and vigilant for any threat.

The night turns to day, you dare not leave your tent, since you can still hear the lion pacing...at least you think it’s still the lion...dare you stick your head out of the tent to check and see? No, it is too scary a thought, being eaten alive. So you stay in your tent, as still as possible, every sense still poised to address any sign of the lion tearing through the tent...

Get the picture? This story is what many of you are going through because your autonomic nervous system views the situations of prolonged stress in your life, such as chronic illness, work, or abusive people, just like the analogy of the roaring lion!

Now imagine what would happen if you never left the tent, or the perception of danger from infections or situations continued for months and years, and your sympathetic nervous system never relaxed?

All the same things we saw with the lion would be happening all the time. Your heart rate would stay too fast, and due to everything else going wrong in your body your heart might start skipping beats and palpitating. Your food never would seem to digest, and you would start seeing undigested food in your bowel movement. Your bladder would constantly feel like you need to go, so your mineral/electrolyte balance would be messed up, making your energy and brain clarity impossible to maintain.

Your colon would be constipated. Your muscles would be tight and painful from all the strain. You would suffer from light and sound sensitivity. You would become more sensitive to electromagnetic pollution and to other people's energy.

Your thyroid would begin to strain under the constant work and would weaken or start to have too much T3, and Reverse T3 would start to elevate to keep you from having too much thyroid hormone stimulation.

There would be too much cortisol and adrenaline so your anxiety and panic would be through the roof, for what seems to be no reason.

The cells of the body would become insensitive to the hormones and glucose, since you are just sitting there idle in the tent of your illness not really doing anything but waiting for the lion (illness) to go away.

Sleep would be impossible since you are too stimulated and overwhelmed, and never feel safe. You feel a little safer during the daytime, so you sleep all day.

The mind races thinking of all of the possibilities. Round and round your mind goes. You cannot turn it off now...it is stuck in a biochemical loop.

Do you see that all of these symptoms are connected? Every system of the body is affected so there are potentially dozens of symptoms. The symptoms are just as predictable as what goes on when a lion is outside of your tent!

Unfortunately, mainstream medicine is geared to treat the symptoms only and so they throw pharmaceutical drugs into this mess. They will give you symptom-treating drugs that unclog your constipation. Purple pill to stop the indigestion. Beta blockers for the heart. Anti-anxiety meds to calm you. Antidepressants to help with everything, since obviously you come across to them as being very depressed. Muscle relaxants are given to ease the tight, painful muscles, and tranquilizers to sedate you to sleep. You are given Synthroid to supposedly treat the low thyroid hormones. Blood sugar regulators to force the glucose out of the bloodstream.

Your body becomes more dysfunctional and toxic from all the drugs and disease. None of these pharmaceuticals are treating the functional causes. Almost 100% of pharmaceuticals are treating only the symptoms. Yes, your thyroid is fatigued and you are low in T3, but taking Synthroid or other thyroid hormone supplements are not treating the cause. And yes, you likely feel better with these pharmaceuticals than without them, but their effectiveness will only be short term, since the illness, the cause, remains untreated and continues to get worse.

As the saying goes, "The worse it gets, the worse it gets. The better it gets the better it gets." It is never, "The worse the cause of a problem gets the better it gets." Nor is it, "The better it gets the worse it gets!" If through proper treatment the dysfunctions can be nudged toward actually working better, then it gets progressively better.

The roaring lion is the illness, by whatever named diagnosis. The Autonomic Nervous System is an automatic mechanism that gets triggered by stress of any type. Structural stress, biochemical stress, mental/emotional stress, and/or environmental/bioenergetic stress.

Any stress puts stress on every aspect of the body, mind, and spirit. One cannot pluck one strand of a spider web without vibrating the entire web. The body, mind, and spirit are an intertwined web. Break a thread and the shape of the entire web changes.

True healing necessarily will ALWAYS need to repair the broken threads of the interconnected web of the Autonomic Nervous System and calm the Sympathetic nervous system before lasting health can be restored.

This is what Post-Traumatic Stress disorder is all about, whether the stress was from horrific war, such as with "Wounded Warriors", or the stress of profound illness and the horrifying life changes it causes.

People we have seen at the Hansa Center for Optimum Health, who have suffered for months and years with chronic infections, such as Lyme disease, mold/fungal infections, viral, pain syndrome, and other chronic illnesses, have PTSD, or a chronic stress disorder. They do have all of the conditions discussed in this article, even if the bacteria have been corrected through the heroic efforts of great doctors, effectively treating the infections.

The idea that the illness is just the microbes is misguided. It is a myth that you will be well, symptom-free, as soon as your doctor can finally figure out how to kill every single bacteria and pathological microbe. Helping the body kill the microbes through whatever method is fine, but with today's mutated, and exotic strains of bacteria, unless you can restore optimum function and integrity to the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and convince it that there is no "lion" about to eat you, your body will continue wearing itself down, making you vulnerable to more infections and more dysfunction.

Nothing in my experience can more effectively repair the ANS and calm the sympathetic nervous system than the combination of healing philosophy of American Biological Medicine as practiced at the Hansa Center. No other healing philosophy is better designed and equipped to address everything that has gone wrong in the body, mind, and spirit all at the same time. Doctors specializing in the treatment philosophies of American Biological Medicine specialize in diagnosing and treating every tissue in the human body, and every system of the body, using the most advanced applications of natural medicine.

The goal is to respect the wisdom of the body. To determine what the body is striving to accomplish, and work to facilitate the body's ability to accomplish what it needs in order to heal, instead of forcing the body into drug-induced illusions of health.

If you have to take a drug forever in order to feel somewhat normal, then it is not fixing anything. If you are treating the cause, then the cause should eventually go away and you can stop taking the medicine. The conventional doctors convinced you that no one knows the cause and therefore you should just be happy that the drugs can mask the symptoms. If your body is too messed up, if organs and glands have been surgically removed, diseased beyond repair, or otherwise destroyed, then yes, take the symptom-masking drugs, however just because your lab tests are consistently bad, or your doctor is from the top medical school, or goes to the top conferences, or follows the top protocols in conventional medicine, it doesn't mean that their drugs are the best way in the long run.

If it is possible to restore optimum function, to treat the whole person at the levels of cause, to treat to get every system to work harmoniously together, great health can be finally realized...the lion will often rapidly evaporate into thin air!

It is difficult to find doctors who follow the treatment philosophies of American Biological Medicine. Of course, I feel that the doctors at the Hansa Center for Optimum Health are fantastic, and the best in the world at what we do, however in the spirit of cooperation instead of competition, you can go to these links to find more great clinics that implement various aspects of this powerful way of healing: marioninstitute.org and International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine.

Super-Sensitive People; They Don't Feel Safe!

Many chronically ill people are super sensitive to light, sound, fragrances, food, medications, even other people's negativity, not to mention a multitude of other challenges from our internal and external environment.

When the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) glands are out of balance, your body thinks that any type of stress is too much stress!  These people never feel safe.

When the HPA axis is dysfunctional our ability to adapt and respond correctly to the challenges in our life is lost, and the body becomes super reactive.

People who are this sensitive are usually surrounded by a world of people who don't react, even though those people are subjected to the same challenges. It does not mean that the non-reactive people are necessarily not being affected, however it does mean, among other things, that they have a greater range of adaptability within the HPA system.

The wisdom of the body recognizes and responds, without our assistance, to any threat against us. Any attack by viruses, bacteria, or any other microbe, not to mention toxins and stressful life situations, activates the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis to increase the body's ability to respond correctly to the situation.

The pituitary is called the master gland because it controls and regulates all of the other glands in the body. It is a pea-sized gland straight back from the bridge of your nose. The Hypothalamus is in the core of the brain and actually regulates the pituitary, but is not called the master gland because it does not control all the other glands of the body as does the pituitary. 

The adrenal glands sit atop both kidneys like melting scoops of ice cream. The adrenals are the primary stress response glands of the body. They motivate the rest of the body to prepare for battle against whatever perceived attack is present. You might say they are our body's security alarm system. 

The adrenal glands are one of the first glands to fatigue when a person is stuck for a prolonged period in the "fight or flight" mode of the sympathetic nervous system. This is because the adrenal glands are the primary driver of the entire sympathetic system. 

Optimum health is that point where our body, mind, and spirit can adapt instantly and correctly to any challenge in our internal and external environment, without losing coherence.

If you feel that your body has lost the ability to adapt correctly to its environment, then stay tuned...this is a huge topic, and I am going to post more on this subject. It is important to know and understand all the players in the body when addressing illness, fatigue, stress, infection, and post-infection.

Are You Doomed By Your DNA? Part 1

We all have flaws in our genetic software that predispose us to certain health problems. Many of these flaws can be corrected.

Pictured with this post is a cross-section of a strand of DNA. Profound new discoveries reveal how problems may exhibit as predispositions or tendencies to certain symptoms, due to poorly treated disease.

Wikipedia defines epigenetics as "The study of inheritable changes in gene expression or cellular phenotype caused by mechanisms other than changes in the underlying DNA sequence – hence the name epi- (Greek: επί- over, above, outer) -genetics."

The epigenetic miasms of Syphilis have been tracked and mapped by homeopathic physicians for over two hundred years. The spirochete that causes Syphilis is very much like the spirochete of Lyme disease, only the Lyme spirochetes have 5-6 times more genes in their DNA than Syphilis bacteria! Imagine the epigenetic predispositions that may be passed down to the offspring of those only treated with antibiotics, whose doctors didn't address these epigenetic issues so that they are not passed on generationally.

There are pages of text outlining the epigenetic predispositions and tendencies in the offspring of people treated for Syphilis using only antibiotics.

There are no texts outlining the predispositions for Lyme disease, though we can project some of what we can expect with Lyme epigenetic miasms in the people with antibiotic-treated Lyme disease and their offspring through what we know about Syphilis.

This will get a bit scientific but stay with me! Most of you have been forced to do a lot of your own research since you have been sick, so I know you are smart enough to understand this topic.

I want you to understand some of the science behind this topic. (also listen on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tB8XAJ-gYA)

Science has uncovered the cause of the epigenetic miasms that homeopathic medicine has been tracking for over 200 years.

According to research recently reported in the journal "Nature" and the New York Times, "...scientists have discovered a vital clue to unraveling these riddles. The human genome (The genetic code of human DNA) is packed with at least four million gene switches that reside in bits of DNA that once were dismissed as “junk” but that turn out to play critical roles in controlling how cells, organs and other tissues behave. The discovery, considered a major medical and scientific breakthrough, has enormous implications for human health because many complex diseases appear to be caused by tiny changes in hundreds of gene switches."

The articles go on to say, "The findings, which are the fruit of an immense federal project involving 440 scientists from 32 laboratories around the world, will have immediate applications for understanding how alterations in the non-gene parts of DNA contribute to human diseases."

These epigenetic switches control the dynamic shifting of the basic blue print that is in your DNA. These switches control what "genetic software glitches" screw up your long-term health and what gets passed down to your offspring. It also explains the tendencies and predispositions that you were born with from illnesses in your family history!

Remember, each cell has a ten-foot strand of DNA. Each strand of DNA has 4 million epigenetic, biophotonic switches that control moment-by-moment changes in the expression of your DNA in response to changes in your internal and external environment.

The really amazing thing is that if the sequence of just one single cell's four million epigenetic switches are changed, not just that cell changes, every single strain of DNA in your body instantly changes in the same manner.

Diseases such as Lyme disease can cause these switches to flip on or off in an infinite number of ways, causing flaws in the expression of your DNA. These flaws set up the predispositions and tendencies in all of your cells.

It could be that the epigenetic flaws in these switches, from illness in your family history, predisposed you to many of the symptoms that you didn't acquire during your brief time on earth.

Now you know why Lyme disease can cause so many diverse symptoms from one person to another. The disease is expressing itself through your unique epigenetic miasms.

By the way, just like the homeopathic physicians of old figured out how to correct the epigenetic miasm of Syphilis, the work we do at the Hansa Center, as well as the clinical work in hundreds of other clinics around the world are working on ways to shift these epigenetic switches through homeopathy and other forms of frequency-based, energy medicine. Do not be afraid, be knowledgeable, and seek out doctors who understand these concepts.

Stay tuned, there is more to come. Hopefully I didn't scare you away with all this science...are you all still with me?

If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, you might consider coming to the Hansa Center. Our doctors and staff do not want you for a "life-time" patient. We don't want you to have to take fistfuls of supplements for the rest of your life. We want to bring to bear the maximum applied effort and science, to gently, yet definitely help facilitate your body's ability to get you out of your illness as quickly as possible. This is not "cookbook doctoring." It is not doctoring following some "famous" doctor's protocol. It is dynamic testing and treatments that are hyper-tailored to your body's specific needs.

The ideal doctor is not a specialist in diseases, but one who understands disease, yet specializes in restoring what is optimum.
