The Relationships between MCAS, Histamines, CIRS, Lyme and Family Dynamics - Dr. Bruce Hoffman
I'm excited to sit down with Dr. Bruce Hoffman. We talk about histamines, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and much more. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.
Dr. Bruce Hoffman was born and educated in South Africa, obtaining his medical degree from the University of Cape Town. Following two years of compulsory military training, his aversion to the local regime prompted him to emigrate to Canada in 1986, where he pursued a family medical practice in rural Saskatchewan.
Dr. Bruce Hoffman is board-certified and holds a fellowship in anti-aging medicine, along with a Master’s degree in clinical nutrition. He is also a certified functional medicine practitioner. In addition to his clinical training, Dr. Hoffman has studied under many leading mind-body and spiritual healers, including Deepak Chopra, Paul Lowe, Osho, Ramesh Balsekar, and Jon Kabat-Zinn. Having shared the stage with Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. John F. Demartini, he continues to convey his inspiring vision of healing and wellness to audiences and patients worldwide.

I really want to thank you Judy - when you said for some "going carnivore harder" is not the real answer, it was a real lightbulb moment and helped me immensely. For me a meat-based diet was huge, and it put my body in a good starting position to weather heavy-metal chelation. Also after reading the works of Andy Cutler it transpires that people with mercury poisoning often have damaged adrenals, and those people often crave carbs and salt, and should eat them when they do. Carbs for me mean pumpkin and parsnips. I am doing Mercury chelation and it is extremely successful, but it is a long-term process. many thanks. You are a very thoughtful, wise voice in the Carnivore sphere.

@@fayschneider503 I have already tried many things, I have read many medical and health books ranging from traditional undergraduate Medical textbooks, to popular health books such as "No Pain, No grain", GAPS diet, Sally Norton, books on Methylation - all of which have been both fascinating and valuable. I read Andy Cutler's manual - it chimed with me. So I started doing heavy metal detox. I did a hairtest (not necessary) but it read as positive for deranged mineral transport and therefore Mercury toxicity. My symptoms are/were migraine, autoimmune disease, spasming, allergy, rheumatic, bodily weakness.

For those looking to reset the nervous system, I highly recommend Irene Lyon and her Smart Body, Smart Mind program. She has an introductory course and full blown in depth course. In all my healing jouneys, that is the most difficult. There is some sort of resistance, even if you have the desire for it. It is so simple, yet so challenging. Also, seeing a somatic, cranial-sacral practioner is beneficial in that journey. Good luck to everyone in resolving their "mystery illness". Judy, I would love for you to interview Irene Lyon, possibly with her husband Seth as well. Seth had a lot of trauma to work through, so he has a good testimony.

I have had very good results from Irene Lyon's work also and recommend her programs. I agree that it could be very useful to see an interview on this channel. Thanks so much, Judy, for the remarkable depth of information you are providing.
Knowing the trauma history is not enough though, treating the impact of trauma on the body is essential. I still struggle with histamine reactions, but somatic healing has helped me get out of the fight/flight/freeze hijack with Trauma Release Exercise. Which was also a life saver financially, because once I learned the basics I was able to do it at home on my own. The amount of re-traumatizing that takes place while trying to heal is significant.

@@Marigold-ip3gw I hope it goes well for you. I’d love to remove all the metal from my teeth but unlikely to happen. If you’re sensitive, please seek out a holistic dentist that will take extra precautions. I’ve heard edible charcoal after removing amalgam helps absorb the bad stuff reducing the risk of reactions afterward.
Very interesting conversation. I would caution however the guest and the host to be careful with their patients who have come from traumatic childhoods. If they get into a treatment with an lesser qualified person, they could have a psychological break that could trigger a serious outcome. I only say that because I've been through a lot of counseling and I know that when I had the wrong person things didn't go well. Still I'm curious about the treatment modalities you're speaking about and I would like to investigate those!

yes I noticed this with a friend of mine...bringing up all of the traumatic childhood stuff was not good for her...I am not sure what the solution is...but maybe body work is better than digging up what exactly happened in childhood...it can retraumatize people.

Benadryl blocks DAO? Taking DAO helps a little, but Benadryl is the thing that helps me the most.

Dear Judy thank you so much for all your efforts. Every video is really helpful
A fascinating discussion as always!
Such a rich and deep conversation! Thank you Judy! This was the push I needed to attempt the mind body piece again. I tried a program when I was first diagnosed with CIRS but I don’t think the timing was right. After MCAS and Lyme recently being added to by diagnosis list I know the mind body part needs to be a big part of my focus.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you doc for extending your interests beyond diet and sharing👏
I absolutely love your videos! They are always SO incredibly relevant! I was just starting to realize this r/t my health issues. I’m going to listen to this again. I really appreciate you sharing your conversations!! 💕
Wondering how often you detect and successfully eliminate parasitic infections in your patients?
Thank you so much
What type of a dr do I seek out if I think im suffering from these symptoms?
It's 7:23 , I am currently in the BVI, this is a Dr. I need to see its like he is talking about me without knowing or meeting me, I would love to be treated as I have severe hypersensitivity asthma/ bronchiectasis and a over active sinus.

Grounding/earthing is a free and easy way to reduce inflammation. Can be done just walking/standing barefoot on the ground or you can buy products to allow grounding while sleeping, at work (desk mat, etc). Professor Bart Kay has videos on the subject, I think. I know he has stated that it is legit, truly provides reduction of inflammation, faster healing, etc.

I did carnivore for several months and it made my issues so much worse, ended up having bad reactions to meat, especially red meat.

@@MissInfinity have you been tested for red meat allergy? If you were bitten by the tick that carries it, you could have it. Alpha-gal syndrome. Some say it can go away after time. I also wonder if you had oxalate dumping. edit - at some point, if you stay vegan long enough, you will become nutrient deficient. Plants don't contain all essential nutrients that humans need. 2nd edit - you might be consuming high oxalate foods and if you were dumping oxalates before, this will make the problem worse (consuming high oxalates).

I'm kind of confused .... what is the basis of your program ? Did you think that the carnivore diet with some supplements was the answer to everything wrong with health ? and that it's going to cure everything ? if only it was that simple. There are soooo many sick people getting sicker because of over simplified programs/protocals.
