Hey all I hope you’re doing well.

So for 7 months I felt pretty healthy after doing a detox and just the VAD was the only issue ans some muscle pain i really had. I did have wheezing before the 7 months but it went away after the detox. After some random sickness a couple weeks ago that wasn’t COVID it’s back in full force.

I’m wondering if you have any advice or supplements that could help? My throat gets extremely tight and it’s hard to breathe and I have to borrow my sons inhaler which only sometimes helps. I’ve tried sinuplex, homeopathics, frequencies, conventional allergy stuff, which all seem to only help a little bit.

Thanks for everything!

This sounds like MCAS and you're reacting to something. Either airborne or dietary. I get this too. Inositol and quercetin take the edge off. Try monitoring what you're eating and if it gets worse after meals. Also keep the anti-oxidants and polyphenols real high. That has always been what works best for me

I also think this sounds like it could have to do with mast cells. I would find a doctor well-versed in mast cell disorders while this is going on so that you can develop a plan in case the symptom escalates, e.g. and epi pen.

Also look into what you are breathing in, in case you have multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) or mold exposure.

It's so maddening how an insult to the system (like the transient bug you had recently) can throw things off balance so much!

Asthma and wheezing are often caused by mold exposure. You said you had wheezing before and it went away after detox and came back after an acute illness, non-COVID.

MCAS seems to occur in people who become overloaded with toxins. The detox reduced your toxic load, but the illness overflowed the bucket again. Look at reducing ALL of your exposures - mold; chemicals; fragrance; pesticides, including on food; internally produced toxins from gut dysbiosis, Lyme/co, yeast and possible mold in the gut, and parasites.

Use treatments for MCAS that work for you, but you have to also deal with the toxins and where they are coming from - externally and internally.

TUDCA helped me the most with detox.

My current doctor actually thinks I’m overloaded with toxins again. I’ll have to talk to her about all this. She can probably help me. She’s been great even though she’s not an LLMD.

It’s interesting that I was actually taking Inositol right around when all this wheezing stopped. I’ll start it back up. I’m interested in the TUDCA too. I know I got a liver that’s sluggish even if my blood work is good. Also we moved to a new house that’s 6 year old and we had it professionally mold tested and nothing so I’m not worried about that this time. I’m thinking it’s environmental and dietary this time.

Thanks all for your help!
