Thyme: triple A wonder herb!
Need an anti bacterial, anti inflammatory, antihistamine and anti anaphylactic pick me up that’s commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry? Well, even if you don’t, it still tastes incredible on everything from zucchini to pasta to eggs. Today I’m speaking of Thyme. Not only is thyme amazing on foods, but thanks to its bacterial action, […]
Mind over body – how to stop the histamine itch
Having recently finished reading Dr. David Hamilton’s inspiring ‘How your mind can heal your body’, I’m now more convinced than ever that stress is a root cause of my rampant immune system dysfunction. Actually that’s not fair. My immune system is enthusiastic, like a new pup, so eagerly anticipating that first home coming embrace, that […]

On the low histamine diet but still suffering from rashes and migraines? Then it’s time to examine your beauty routine!

Histamine, the good guy?
It’s time to expand on the “not all histamine is bad” comments I’ve been making in my posts and the support groups I frequent. I get a lot of emails asking why my books include this or that food – after all, don’t I realise it’s high histamine? We’re usually speaking of chickpeas, bananas, sunflower […]
Coming soon: the low histamine Paleo cookbook
I’ve been giving this whole low histamine Paleo diet/eating thing a lot of thought these last few months. The idea of giving up grains entirely is certainly attractive, but when considering the idea of going Paleo, a few things sprung to mind: 1. Why label myself concretely as one thing or the other? Unless it’s […]

Holy Basil! 101 uses for this incredible antihistamine plant
I may have reached the zenith of my (natural antihistamine) Kenya experiences. I was in shock after discovering holy basil seeds on a supermarket shelf in downtown Malindi yesterday. I mean talk about unexpected. There’s no cinema here but there’s a plethora of natural antihistamines. I so miss the movies, but I’m enjoying getting it […]
Recipe: triple strength antihistamine tea
There’s something internally cooling about cup of tea on a hot day. But if a hot antihistamine beverage doesn’t appeal, just add a little ice and serve with a wedge of lemon. I enjoyed this antihistamine in a glass by the beach yesterday here in Kenya. My project has been extended, again, which is giving […]
Amaranth: the new green antihistamine
And we’re back baby. My designer has been taking so long to redevelop the site that I finally caved and put it back up for the meantime. It’s been tough not sharing all that I’ve found these last few weeks – but rest assured I have a BUMPER crop of information that’s going to rock […]
Histamine meditation
My Silva post a few weeks ago led to quite a few people asking for more details on how I used meditation to get me over the worst of my histamine reactions. Well, guess what? Last night was fairly unpleasant, well a little scary really, but I thought it would be a good time to finally show […]
