Re: build up of histamines...

Sinus and adrenals are intricately related. I suspect this is low

cortisolas it also lowers your immune system aand it is the body;s

anti-inflammatory h9ormone so anythign can cause inflammation in the

body when it is low.

I start every day with a runny nose now. It stops after my first dose

of HC and Armour in the AM. Don't know whether it's from the adrenals

or thyroid, but sounds like adrenals and similar to the phlegm that

you are experiencing.

Hi Jaydee. I did that too before I got on Armour. I also have a

parathyroid cyst and when it gets big, it pushes up against my windpipe

and that makes me cough a lot in the mornings. I also used to have bad

acid reflux and coughing can be an atypical symptom of reflux. I have

even been able to stop Nexium altogether -- thanks to Armour -- and I

was taking 2 Nexiums a day. Annie/Texas

build up of histamines...

I wake every morning and until 10 or so I am " clearing my throat " .

Apparently there is a build up of histamines, but I do not understand

the cause. Can someone enlighten me? This is surely not healthy and I

am sure it is indicative of some other problems.

I have hypo-t and a not yet clearly identified deficiency (working on

that) with adrenals and I am gaining weight. By 4pm I can feel

something building in the chest again, and a deep breath will make me

cough. This cont. till morning again.

I am taking a very low dose cortef until I know the exact nature of the

adrenals disorder. I do not want to harm them further or harm the

pituitary. I am sure no genius in this field. I am just good at

repeating what I heard thus far.

If anyone can shed some light here, please do. Thanks so much.

For me, this was my " pre-asthma " stage. This eventually turned into

wheezing every night after dinner, coughing in the morning, then clear

by mid-morning, which follows a natural cortisol rhythm, since cortisol

is highest in the morning. I did a lot of online research and found

that adding T3 relieves asthma in some people. Also, being low in

cortisol can give you asthma. So, if this is asthma you're dealing

with, once your adrenals start to improve and you can add thyroid, your

symptoms should improve.

So, what do ya do about it? As I understand it there are many conditions of

the adrenals and for some it is better to let them heal on their own. I

have not yet refined the cause of mine or narrowed down the type of adrenal

insufficiency. I am just saying that I am in a place where I cannot make use

of

cortef just yet. I would at least like to understand what causes the

histamine build up. Shoot..I do not even know how to articulate the question.

Here is the connection....

Allergies

Allergic reactions typically have an adrenal component. Most allergies

involve the release of histamine and other pro-inflammatory substances

(substances

that produce inflammation).

Cortisol, one of the primary hormones produced by the adrenal glands, is a

strong anti-inflammatory (a substance that reduces inflammation).

In fact, the amount of cortisol circulating in the blood is the key factor in

controlling the level of inflammatory reactions in the body.

For this reason proper adrenal function plays an important role in mediating

the histamine release and inflammatory reactions that produce the symptoms

experienced with allergies.

With Adrenal Fatigue there is more of a tendency to experience allergies.

The more histamine that is released, the more cortisol it takes to control

the inflammatory response and the harder the adrenals have to work to produce

more cortisol.

The harder the adrenals have to work, the more fatigued they become and the

less cortisol they produce, allowing histamine to inflame the tissues more.

This vicious circle can lead to progressively deeper Adrenal Fatigue as well as

to larger allergic reactions.

It is therefore not surprising that people with food and environmental

allergies commonly have weak adrenal function.

Actively supporting the adrenals using the therapies described in _Adrenal

Fatigue: the 21st Century Stress Syndrome_

(http://www.adrenalfatigue.org/products/adrenal_fatigue.php) by _Dr.

_

(http://www.adrenalfatigue.org/drwilson.php) , and especially eliminating foods

from the diet and exposure

to substances that cause allergic or sensitivity reactions will help break

this cycle improve adrenal function.

Food allergens can interfere with daily functioning and become a profound

stress on the adrenals, so it is important to track down and eliminate these

food sensitivities and allergies in order to both decrease allergies and restore

adrenal health.

I have horrible sinus congestion in the morning and usually again around 4

in the afternoon - adrenals can cause this, but also your sex hormones can

too!!! If my progesterone is too high I get all stuffed up or if the

estrodial is too low too I guess..

fIRST aDRENALS ARE not PRONE TO HEALING ON THEIR OWN. You MUST do somehting if

only to take the corerect vitamins to build them yup along wiht stopping the

lifestyle that wrecked them. But the first step would be to find out how bad

they are as usually when they are bad enough to cause symptoms they need actual

treatment. I would suggest starting wiht a cortiosl saliva test which you can

order your own from www.canaryclub.org

What they don't consider in this is just as important as what they are

saying! That with PROPER levels of cortiosl many of these allergies

would not be there at all. Thus you can avoid many if the allergies by

treating the cortiosl and then building the adrenals to where they are

capable of handling the load themselves. This si basically what we try

to do here.

Personally interesting to me, as that gives an explanation for why, over

the past 22 years, every attack of eczema/hives has left me MORE

sensitive to both the main allergen trigger, and have developed NEW

sensitivities.
