It is with a heavy heart that I am leaving this heartbreaking message on this interview. I learned today that Beth O'Hara, a light and beacon of hope in the MCAS community, has passed away. You can learn more here: facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1190748652347839&set=ecnf.100042381475856. If you watch this video, you can see how incredible a person Beth was. Offline, she was as kind and warmhearted as she was in interviews. She truly wanted to help the chronically ill community. Today, the world has lost a significant light.
The face book link tells you nothing, just that it's believed it wasn't related to her MCAS. When a death is shrouded in secrecy, it's usually suicide.
@@SincerityJ that is absolutely not true. The family is not ready to relay any details because their loved one just passed away. Give them a minute to grieve My gosh.
Again, I’m so appreciative that you are having these in depth conversations about MCAS. It is so complex and there’s not enough content out there. THANK YOU!
Just love Beth and her contributions. I have had mostly mild MCAS, which is all wrapped up in CIRS for me, but at times it would reflect in skin issues. If I came in contact with poison oak, I wouldn't just get a mild rash, I'd end up swollen and rashy in multiple areas from just the tiniest contact. If I got stung by a bee or wasp, the area would swell up 3x normal size and sometimes fill with fluid. When I first went carnivore, I often would get a red, rashy area on my chest. I still occasionally get some rashiness from eating bacon some seasonings, but as my CIRS treatment is helping, my MCAS seems to be diminishing (although I don't plan to go pick some poison oak leaves to test that theory!). I was having MCAS issues long before my first CIRS symptoms showed up, but of course, my family doctor just said my rashes were "idiopathic." And of course, everything got worse after I got covid. But everything is improving with CIRS treatment. I love the mind body connection, too.
People who are super sensitive to sounds can be severely deficient in magnesium. Magnesium and calcium balance each other out, calcium stimulates and magnesium relaxes. Several years ago I couldn't tolerate sounds that subsided when I started taking magnesium supplements.
She is a wealth of knowledge. I really enjoyed this conversation, and I'm glad you talked about sulfur, the mind body. Im surprised she said doing vegal work at the same time as mold detoxing. But it makes sense.
I feel more relaxed just listening to Beth! 🥰 so calming. I would love to hear her thoughts about how mast cell activation interacts with female hormonal shifts. I’m 45 and my symptoms vary massively around my cycle.
I can relate because I have histamine intolerance the week before my cycle, during the luteal phase. I do remember researching and reading about the progesterone drop and histamine, so I know the information is out there.
@@marcelladiaz3187 I tend to get flushing, fatigue and migraines when my estrogen is changing quickly or high so most of the month! During my period is the peaceful part 💛 xxx
@ I’ve 44 and have been struggling with this also. High estrogen triggers histamine and migraines… am currently trying bioidentical progesterone as well as progestins from the mini pill. My skin is breaking out a bit but the migraines seem to be reduced in severity so far…. Early days but time will tell 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I am also here after hearing of her passing. This video looks to be just a few months old. She looks so healthy and vibrant. I wonder if it was more of a tragic accident. We can only speculate I know. I am so saddened.
I just finished your new book, Judy, and it was wonderfully well-written. I liked the artwork and the way the pages had so much variety in the layout. I learned a lot and I'll be buying a copy for my personal library, now that the copy from the public library is going back. Thank you very much. And thank you for this discussion today.
Thank you Judy! I have this and thankfully have a doctor I’m working with, but I’m so sensitive to foods, smells, sounds and maybe some supplements, but I’m finding some relief. This is great info and I shared it with some friends and family in hopes that they understand what I’m going through.
I had overwelming lymbic system because of huge traumatic events, and only meds help me to start function, without flash backs all the time..all depend how much the damage was done to the brain😊

Judy, I would love to hear more info on MCAS in kids. What do parents use for super sensitive kids that cannot do any nervous system work or when nervous system work is not helping like listening to safe and sound. Thanks
When I drink hot Tea on an empty stomach I get nauseous feeling whether its plain or not... coffee does not make me nauseous no matter when or how I drink it.... whats that all about🤔🤔
I respect Beth and this info, but so funny you deleted my comment bc I disagreed about the legitimacy of a “sanctuary room” lol. 🤦♀️ The fact is, if you have mold in your house, those spores will be all over your house. Come on, now….. you know that’s true!
@@tommartens3731 I haven't had a bone marrow biopsy yet, but Dr suspects that I have systemic mastocytosis (consistently high tryptase levels) and pork and dairy doesn't seem to bother me either. I was getting GI issues that 99% subsided once I switched to intermittent fasting with 2 meals within 8 hours and 16 hours fasting daily. I mostly avoid grains and other carbs.

Thats so sad 😢
Do you maybe know a reason...?
How many months back was this recording . Beth looks so vibrant and healthy 😢

Using UVC light to destroy mold, mildew, dust mites, etc. has done wonders for my 150 year old farmhouse.
Do you have any resources to learn more about this?
Where are you applying the UVC light?
@@leaannsavage2231 Uvilzer has lamps you set in a room.
I am shocked 😢 that ❤ Beth ❤ passed away. She was a shining light and hope for many. Thank you Beth ❤ for touching my life.
Great interview, great information!! You both are wonderful speakers.
Again, I’m so appreciative that you are having these in depth conversations about MCAS. It is so complex and there’s not enough content out there. THANK YOU!
Dr Theoharides is one of the leading Mast Cell expert (I think he is a professor at Tufts University)
so thankful that yall are out here talking eating nutrition for "HEALING" & not weight loss. thank u

Wow! Am super sensitive to sounds and lights as well. I have histamine related problems...
@@Tonka9453do you have histamine intolerance?

My histamine symptoms get worse when estrogen rises throughout my cycle i have maybe a week out of the month of being normal 😢

Thank you.
I have chronic urticaria and angioedema, so very sensitive to histamine. Tested for urticaria induced basophil activation. Is that like MCAS, too?
Have watched Beth's transformation for years; she's so appreciated and a valuable asset to the healing arts. TFS this interview Judy.
I am also here after hearing of her passing. This video looks to be just a few months old. She looks so healthy and vibrant. I wonder if it was more of a tragic accident. We can only speculate I know. I am so saddened.
Suicide. Probably from plenty of emotional abuse and gas-lighting by her ex-husband, if his FB page is any indication.

And thank you for this discussion today.
RIP Beth. She had so much good information.
What happened? :(

MCAS totally wrecked me after I got Covid in 2021.
Same
Thank you so much for this. Shed light on a lot of the mysteries I've been dealing with still. ❤
I really enjoyed this interview. Yall shared some wonderful information. Thank you so much!!

It’s interesting that liquid glutathione smells just like sulfur and she mentioned sulfur is important for detox. I never made that connection before.
Notice at the end, she says mold and lyme or the lady that got better. You have to address tick borne illness and the mold.
Has anyone used a good limbic program they can recommend?
Following!
When I drink hot Tea on an empty stomach I get nauseous feeling whether its plain or not... coffee does not make me nauseous no matter when or how I drink it.... whats that all about🤔🤔
What about having a flame in the throat, can this be related to histamine?

You should not be telling people it’s ok to re introduce wheat, dairy or pork.
I eat pork and dairy and have no issues with them.
@@TMItulsayou are very rare and fortunate. Are you blood type B by chance?
@@tommartens3731
I haven't had a bone marrow biopsy yet, but Dr suspects that I have systemic mastocytosis (consistently high tryptase levels) and pork and dairy doesn't seem to bother me either.

High protein (meat, fish and eggs) and lots of veggies with minimal fruit.
I'm blood type O+ also.
I wouldn't eat pork just for the parasites 😆
You should not be telling people what they can say. In fact I should probably not be telling you this LOL
