The traditional low histamine diet is often a restrictive, soul destroying and not particularly effective healing approach. So why do we do it?

In my previous workshop Beyond the Low Histamine Diet we explored histamine intolerance, mast cell activation, diagnosis and supplements. We also learned about different types of supplements and how exercise and happiness affect histamine, and our lives in general. And in the Healing the Brain to Heal the Body we learned ways to fix negative beliefs and emotional baggage that could be causing stress related mast cell activation and histamine release.
But I purposely left out my food re-introduction techniques.
Why?
Because there’s much work to do before we can begin thinking of re-introducing foods. It’s essential that we understand the role that the brain and stress play in the healing, and sickness process.
The low histamine diet wasn’t mean to be a way of life. It was created as a four week elimination diet to help reset the system and figure out what’s bothering us, before re-introducing foods one by one at the end of it.
The problem is that so few of us are able to go back to eating the way we did before, or are just unwilling to once we experience the relief these four weeks brings.
(In my case by the way it took longer than a month.)
So we keep on going, and going and going, till like me, you’re left with four or five foods that are tasteless and not particularly nourishing.
Till anger and devastation destroy the soul.
People not familiar with this condition, with the doggy in the window syndrome it triggers, think this is an exaggeration.
I’d like to see how they’d feel if sentenced to spend the next five years eating the same bland foods day in day out while watching everyone around them indulging in all their favorite foods, seemingly with not a care in the world, while those they lean on for support tell them they’re out of their mind and nothing’s wrong with them.
Thankfully I came up with an approach that’s worked for me, and thousands of others. There’s no guarantees but approaching this in a common sense way, with the collaboration of your doctor, is a good place to get inspiration.
In the last few years I’ve not only worked my way up from the four or five foods I could eat, to eating pretty much what I want (in moderation and well timed), as long as it’s healthy.
That’s included such notoriously high histamine foods as fish (only if not super fresh), shellfish, iodine and B12 supplements, pineapple, strawberries, cacao, and much more.
We’ll lean on meditation, neural retraining techniques and plain old common sense (that’s so hard to maintain when malnourished and desperate).

Because sometimes you just want it in hard copy so you can go to town on it with a highlighter pen (am I the only one who does that?).
What I do not tell you…
I do not dictate frequency of foods or amounts – no one can tell you this, if they say they can they’re lying! How you feel will guide this. Please note, you will have to consult with a doctor if you wish to try any of my techniques. I am not a doctor and this workshop is not suitable for anyone who has had mild to significant reactions to food.
