New PTC- Mensah

The PTC closed down. Then re-opened. In the interrim, severla of its doctors spun off and reached out to patients. I met with Mensah medical, Dr.s Bowman and Mensah and was impressed.

You would think that after 7 years of workin within a healing paradigm, you have heard everything under the sun. You would think that after asking the same question for 5 years and not receiving an answer, that it was unanswerable. I got answers today that made sense and floored me with their insight.

Referring to what Dr. Lewis once called an excersize intolerance, or stress intolerance, of which I have written in detail, the observation made today was that it was all related to an inflammatory process gone awry.

the idea is that histapenics have very little histamine, and that intense excersize cases inflammation by releasing histamine. The release creates a jolt in conditions, resulting in much better functioning temporarily, but then depletes the already low stores. In the days it takes to rebuild, my system does not recover and I feel anxious, unfocused, insomnia, irritable, disoriented, swelling, etc. I.e. overtrained. Its takes days to rebuild histamine stores.

We talked about the importance of good omega 6s and why that can decrease inflammation by causing the right kind of inflammation to tell the body to produce more histamine.

We talked about oxalates- but I need to run that down.

More later.
