Heavy metals and histamine intolerance

Exposure to foreign and harmful substances can play a role in the development of histaminosis or histamine intolerance. Besides pesticide exposure, other environmental toxins can be a possible cause of histamine intolerance, for example in the form of:

Heavy metal contamination

Heavy metals are unavoidable in modern times – they are found in exhaust fumes, food, clothing, cosmetics, and other items. A certain amount of heavy metals is not inherently dangerous for the body, as they are filtered and eliminated by our detoxification organs (liver, kidneys, gallbladder, intestines, bladder). However, if our metabolism is overloaded – especially the liver, intestines, and kidneys – heavy metals can accumulate in the body and trigger various health problems and illnesses.

Prominent heavy metals in the Western world include:

  • Lead (exhaust fumes, clothing)
  • Mercury (fish, exhaust fumes)
  • Cadmium (conventional grain)
  • Arsenic (conventional rice)
  • Nickel (jewelry, conventional oatmeal)
  • Amalgam (dental fillings)

If present in excessive amounts in organs and blood, these substances can cause discomfort in various locations and may also promote or exacerbate the development of histamine intolerance.

Possible signs/symptoms that may indicate heavy metal exposure:

  • impure skin
  • heavy sweating
  • Tiredness and exhaustion
  • allergic diseases
  • chronic joint and muscle pain
  • poorly healing wounds
  • high susceptibility to infection
  • high tendency towards inflammation
  • strong sweat odor
  • Diarrhea
  • itching
  • Metallic taste
  • gum discoloration
  • irritated and tired eyes
  • Dark circles and puffiness under the eyes
  • increased hair loss

How can heavy metal contamination be measured?

There are two different testing options here:

  • Blood test (only heavy metals currently present in the blood can be measured here)

  • Bioresonance test (this can also measure heavy metal contamination in the organs)

Caution: Bioresonance testing is not medically recognized, but it has been very helpful to us. Bioresonance uses gamma waves that are introduced into the body to measure resistance (the body feels nothing). This is detectable at a micro-physical level, but is not yet accepted by conventional medicine.

How can heavy metals be eliminated from the body?

Two natural remedies are particularly suitable for detoxifying heavy metals. Both are extremely low in histamine and even very nutrient-rich, as well as supporting liver function. We have had excellent results with them and have become significantly more symptom-free as a result.

1. Zeolite:
Encapsulated powder significantly reduces the body's ammonium and heavy metal load, particularly lead, cadmium, and mercury. This relieves the metabolic burden on the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and blood.

2. Spirulina:
Low-histamine microalgae that has the natural property of binding heavy metals so that they can be excreted via the intestines.

  • IMPORTANT: Both products should meet the highest quality standards, otherwise the opposite effect (even more stress) may occur.
  • In addition, certain herbs can support your detoxification organs, making the expansion even more effective and strengthening the liver, kidneys, adrenal glands and gallbladder – rather than burdening them in this process.


Can detoxification be performed only if there is a suspicion of heavy metal poisoning?

When it comes to heavy metals, prevention is better and easier than treatment/aftercare, and such detoxification with natural products is also possible preventively.

Is it possible to gently detoxify if you have a histamine intolerance – and if so, how?

We hear and read time and again that those affected by histamine intolerance or mast cell activation syndrome

1) Exhibit breakdown and detoxification disorders

2) Classic detox diets are not well tolerated at all

Melina also had to deal with both cases and suffered from severe heavy metal poisoning (lead and arsenic) and moderate pesticide exposure.

One possible cause of impaired metabolism and detoxification can be an overloaded liver, as it is our largest detoxification organ. Incidentally, the second most important enzyme for histamine breakdown, "HNMT," is also located there.

➡️ Classic detox and fasting cures can unfortunately often lead to problems for us with hypertension, as they are associated with an activation/weakening of the immune system and can promote the activation of mast cells.

Can we detoxify effectively then?

The answer is = YES!

Vegetables

Your low-histamine detox guide

1. Vegan diet

Avoid dairy and meat products completely, as these can put a strain on our metabolic organs – especially our liver.
You can find vegan, low-histamine recipes here .

2. Drink 300-500ml of still water in the morning and evening (in addition to your normal needs)

Water can not only act as a natural antihistamine, but also help to flush out detoxification products from the body.

3. Take low-histamine herbs and nutrients

Bitter herbs, such as dandelion root, but also milk thistle and coriander, are particularly suitable here. Among other things, they strengthen the liver, stimulate bile production, and support the detoxification process via the liver, gallbladder, and kidneys.

4. Take zeolite

Encapsulated zeolite powder significantly reduces the body's ammonium and heavy metal exposure, especially to lead, cadmium, and mercury.
This relieves the metabolic burden on the liver, kidneys, pancreas and blood.

5. Reduce fats

One of the liver's functions is fat metabolism. By reducing fats in your diet, your liver can focus more effectively on the detoxification process.

👉🏻 Carry out these steps over a period of at least 4-6 weeks.
