Got patients with Mast Cell Activation?
Got patients with Histamine Intolerance?
Do you know the difference between the two?
Researchers estimate that up to 17% of the general population has Mast Cell Activation so it should be on every clinician’s radar. Approximately 3% have Histamine intolerance. None of us learned about either in school, or how to address either by diet and/or lifestyle.
These non-branded handout kit gives you the basics:
9 handouts, with 3 pages of bonus freebies:

- A sample set of recipes for patients who really, really want them and feel safer with 35+ quick starter meals and snacks that are easy to prep and eat, especially for people with low energy.
- Supplements, supplements! Which have research supporting them, and which don’t?
- The differences and similarities between mast cell disorders and histamine intolerance (for clinicians or more sophisticated patients who want to dive into the nitty gritty details)
- What about histamine liberators? Thus far, these have been shown not to exist in clinical trials, and it’s important we can advise our patients with the latest research.
