Bonjour, je vous remercie de me conseiller, j’ai un ami très proche qui soufre depuis de nombreuses années d’une allergie à l’histamine (inflammation chronique qui provoque des inflammations cutanées de type pemphigoïde ou lupus bulleux), et qui est obligé de prendre des corticoïdes (cortisone) tous les jours pour vivre à peu près bien. Dès qu’il descend à une prise inférieure à 20 ml de cortisone il a des inflammations, que me conseillez vous efficacement afin qu’il puisse arriver à se passe de cortocoides car cela entraîne beaucoup d’effets secondaires. Par ailleurs il a un taux de DAO est inférieur à 3 U/ml (carence en DAO peut entraîner un excès d'histamine dans le corps, ce qui peut provoquer divers symptômes comme des maux de tête, des éruptions cutanées, des maux d'estomac et d'autres réactions).
CIGNA Calogero, we’re really sorry to hear how much your friend has been struggling – needing daily cortisone just to function is very tough on the body over time. Of course, only his doctor can guide the tapering of corticosteroids, but ICs may gently support some of the underlying issues: high histamine load, low DAO activity, inflammation, and stress on the immune system.
CIGNA Calogero, we’re really sorry to hear how much your friend has been struggling – needing daily cortisone just to function is very tough on the body over time. Of course, only his doctor can guide the tapering of corticosteroids, but ICs may gently support some of the underlying issues: high histamine load, low DAO activity, inflammation, and stress on the immune system.
Here is a simple protocol that targets both histamine intolerance and mast-cell activation, based on current functional and integrative medicine principles:
This IC is designed to mimic diamine oxidase (DAO), the main enzyme that breaks down histamine in the intestines. In functional medicine, low DAO activity is a common contributor to histamine intolerance – especially when DAO blood levels are below about 10 U/mL, and even more when they are as low as what you described.
How to use:
Imprint into water and drink 3 times per day, preferably 10–20 minutes before meals that may contain histamine (meat, fish, fermented foods, etc.).
The goal is to help the body clear histamine from food more efficiently so that less reaches the bloodstream.
2. Calm mast-cell activation and histamine release
This PEMF IC is focused on stabilizing mast cells – the immune cells that release histamine and other inflammatory mediators. In mast-cell–driven histamine issues, the goal is not only to break down histamine but also to reduce how much is released in the first place.
How to use:
Use as PEMF once or twice daily, applied on the body (for example over the abdomen or chest).
3. Foundational antihistamine & antioxidant support
These ICs are chosen because they are widely used in functional / integrative medicine to reduce histamine load, support immune balance, and control inflammation.
Quercetin is a natural flavonoid often used as a mast-cell stabilizer and natural antihistamine. It may help decrease histamine release and support the integrity of the gut and blood vessels.
Vitamin C is another gentle antihistamine and antioxidant. In integrative medicine, it is frequently used to help lower histamine levels and protect tissues from chronic inflammation and steroid-related oxidative stress.
4. Inflammation and detox support (optional but helpful)
If he tolerates the basics well, these two can be added gradually:
Curcumin is a strong anti-inflammatory and may help calm chronic skin and tissue inflammation often seen with histamine issues, pemphigoid-like eruptions, and autoimmune-type rashes.
Glutathione is the body’s “master antioxidant” and is often low in people with chronic inflammation and long-term medication use. Supporting glutathione can help detoxify histamine by-products, reduce oxidative stress, and support liver function (which is important when cortisone has been used for a long time).
These ICs are meant to support his system – they are not a replacement for medical care. Because he is on daily cortisone, any attempt to reduce or taper the dose must be supervised by his prescribing doctor, ideally with regular monitoring (symptoms, inflammation markers, etc.). ICs can be used alongside his medication unless his doctor advises otherwise.
Wishing your friend more comfort and steadier health ahead 🌿
