Re: red face post exercise - flushing, allergies, and metals

[Guest guest]

Flushing is caused by mast cell degranulation, which

is in turn caused by high histamine levels. This

indicates an allergic reaction, which can be caused by

hypersensitivity to metals (see www.melisa.org), and

IgE and IgG food allergies. This has been one of the

main symptoms I have had associated with my poisoning.

I also tend to flush in response to heat or exercise.

My flushing is dangerous and severe, so I have to

avoid these activities.

If these are all the symptoms you are having, you are

lucky. Some of the allergic food reactions (IgG, for

example) are delayed, so eating the allergens will

cause flushing or other symptoms at later times. If

you have a high body burden of metals, exercise causes

mobilization, which may account for your reactions.

My reactions diminished considerably after having my

amalgams removed. Chelation or mercury exposure can

also cause these reactions, so you might want to watch

for that. If you avoid allergen foods for awhile,

that can really help your gut heal, and in my case

keeps me free of symptoms despite reactions to my

mercury body burden. You might want to get an IgG

blood test for 100 or so foods so you can figure out

if there are some you should avoid. They irritate the

gut, causing permeability and systemic exposure to

allergens.

I've seen a fair number of people on this board who

reported flushing reactions. Along with Candida it

seems to be suggestive of mercury poisoning or

allergy. The Melisa test (www.melisa.org) might get

you a certain diagnosis of which metals you are

sensitive to. Cadmium is also an issue for some

people, and cigarette or other smoke will expose you

to this.

Good luck from you fellow flusher,

Dave
