DR ALEJANDRO JUNGER CAN HELP YOU ‘CLEAN’ UP ALLERGIES
I’m beside myself with excitement that Dr Junger was gracious enough to take some time out of his busy schedule (check out his recent appearance on the Dr Oz Show) to share how hisClean program can benefit those of us with food intolerances or allergies. As an aside, he’s Gwyneth Paltrow’s doc, and as those […]
The secret: high nutrient low histamine diet
My last post addressed the need to get off the histamine-merry-go round, in addition to featuring a quote from my nutritional hero Dr Fuhrman: You can’t put this problem in a vacuum. Such as avoiding histamine containing foods, on a standard deficient and toxic diet. The body works in conjunction with thousands of complicated chemical […]
The Histamine Merry-Go-Round (Dr Fuhrman weighs in)
Your diet is going great right? The brain fog is lifting. The migraines have let up. Your skin is looking pretty darned good. It’s time to celebrate! I’m sorry; you’re going to eat WHAT now? Are you kidding me? Put your hands in the air and back away from the fluorescent pink cupcake. No. No! […]
Inflammation fighting Salmon Pesto Pasta (GF)
Confused why I’m eating salmon? Many people write to me asking why. 1. Fish isn’t inherently high histamine – spoilage causes the histamine to rise. I live close to the beach so I know this stuff is fresh, and I go to buy it the day it comes in. 2. It’s not true that dark […]
How histamine conditions mimic psychiatric disorders
Those of you who follow my blog (or who know me through the forums) are familiar with my psych background: psychiatric misdiagnoses up the wazoo, accompanied by 14 different psych meds: antidepressants, benzodiazepines, anti-epileptics, mood stabilisers and sleeping pills. Shrinks really had me convinced that the anxiety, shaking, dizziness, depression, mood swings etc were simply […]

I recently blogged about my success in stopping my mast cell mediated histamine itch (see bottom of post) through a visualisation I came up with after reading Hay House bestselling author and Huffington Post contributor David R.

Antihistamine foods: Sweet Potato Gnocchi
The best thing about writing low histamine recipe cookbooks? I get to play with food all day… I do enjoy the research, immensely, but there’s nothing like getting down and dirty with a big ol’ bowl of dough for the better part of the afternoon. I don’t have any experience with making pasta from scratch, […]
What I eat: “Farewell London” antihistamine breakfast juice
Wondering what I eat? You’re not alone. It’s the question I’m most often asked. My recipe books are an accurate reflection of what I eat, when I take the time to make something for myself. Nowadays though, I’m constantly trying new recipes and seeing how far I can get by focusing on filling my plate […]
Beelieve it or not – some pollens are antihistamines!
Scared of pollen? Judging by the seasonal media scaremongering (“allergy season spells misery for millions” etc), you’re not the only one. But as with so many aspects of histamine, pollen has been demonised. It’s time to explore the upside of bee pollen. In animal studies bee pollen extract containing the flavinoid myricetin has been shown […]
