Re: Update From KenL/Maybe why bee venom works.../histamine

[Guest guest]

Stania,

Try to get a copy of Molecules of Emotions by Candace Pert, Ph.D. Read page 25

for a very brief explanation. Some day I will finally read it all -- bought it

in April -- have skimmed through it occasionally -- so much to do -- not enough

hours in the day -- but all the pieces of the puzzleare coming together.

Histamine is a small molecule (ligand) and a neurotransmitter for proper brain

function. Other molecules and peptides neede by the brain are also components

of bee venom. The key is to have a SLOW and STEADY release of histamine. A

rush of histamine, endogenous or exogenous, causes the allergic reaction. Bee

venom has components that balances this out -- that's why you gradually build up

the dose and have benadryl or an epi-pen available at all times when stinging

(just in case)! Brain needs amino acids to produce ligands (neurotransmitters,

steroids, and peptides). Here's her explanation: If the cell is the engine that

drives all life, then the receptors are the buttons on the control panel of that

engine, and a specific peptide (or other king of ligand) is the finger that

poshes that button to get things started. This is why we need to get our gut

fixed first -- need to be able to utilize those building blocks of life! Also

the reason I use honey,pollen, royal jelly and propolis (all bee products --

preferrably FRESH) that provide necessary nutrients (among other things). If

you're interested, there's a book available online @

http://www.fao.org/docrep/w0076e/w0076e00.htm about

bee products that can be downloaded. I skimmed through that one -- packed with

lots of info.

I found out last week that a member of the Apitherapy L (list I belong to)

knows how to make a homemade histamine patch. Will find ask him about it next

week.

ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DOWNLOAD BOOKS FROM THE INTERNET?

TTYL, Bzzz...

I remember some article mentioning that PWC are often

hypersensitive to

histamine - I am - isn't it dangerous for me?

Thanks for any comments

Stania
