HISTAMINE DECREASING / LOW HISTAMINE PROBIOTICS

Bifidobacterium (ALL, esp Longum, Lactis & Infantis)

Lactobacillus Curvatus
Lactobacillus Gasseri
Lactobacillus Paracasei
Lactobacillus Plantarum
Lactobacillus Rhamnosus (esp GG)
Lactobacillus Sakei
Lactobacillus Salivarius
Lactobacillus Sporogenes

Bacteroides Fragilis
Bacteroides Thetaiotaomicron
Leuconostoc Mesenteroides
Propionibacterium Freudenreichii
Saccharomyces-Boulardii


My Top 5 Must Have Probiotic Strains:

  1. Bifidobacterium lactis (breaks down histamine and tyramine5)
  2. Bifidobacterium Longum & Infantis (reduces anxiety, anti-histamine)
  3. Lactobacillus Plantarum ** (reduces anxiety, heals leaky-gut, breaks down biogenic amines including histamine & tyramine6)
  4. Lactobacillus Rhamnosus ** esp GG (reduces anxiety, stabilizes mast cells, reduces histamine sensitivity, anti-inflammatory/lowers crp)
  5. Saccharomyces-Boulardii (anti-histamine, regulate digestive issues esp diarrhea)


My Top 6 Must Have Probiotic Supplements:
(alternate between these regularly to increase BBD/bacterial bio-diversity, or Bel Biv Devoe if you like 90’s R&B…)

  1. Nexabiotic
  2. Pro-15
  3. Nature’s Way: Primadophilus Optima
  4. Nature’s Way: Primadophilus Bifidus
  5. Kyolic: Kyo-Dophilus 9

HISTAMINE INCREASING / HIGH HISTAMINE PROBIOTICS
(avoid these strains if you suffer from allergies)

Lactobacillu Buchneri
Lactobacillus Brevis
Lactobacillus Bulgaricus
Lactobacillus Casei
Lactobacillus Delbrueckii
Lactobacillus Fermentum

If you must have a histamine increasing probiotic, these two have the most benefits:

  1. Lactobacillus Helveticus (reduces anxiety and ammonia, restores cognitive function)
  2. Lactobacillus Reuteri (reduces intestinal inflammation, increases pain tolerance & bowel function)

Breathwork

Breathwork influences the autonomic nervous system, promoting relaxation or alertness by modulating heart rate, blood pressure, and stress levels. Controlled breathwork can foster balance and calmness within the body and mind, as well as assist in releasing stuck energy & emotion.

Inner Parts Work

Inner parts work, including approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and The Tamura Method, involves exploring and understanding different facets of one's psyche or internal "parts." These parts represent distinct aspects of an individual's personality, emotions, and experiences. Through therapeutic interventions, individuals can foster self-awareness, integrate these parts, and promote emotional healing and growth.

Energetic Balancing

Energetic balancing is a holistic approach of promoting harmony and equilibrium in the body's energy systems. The aim is to identify and address imbalances in the body's energy flow, such as disruptions in the flow of chi or prana, to promote overall well-being.

Myofascial Release (MFR) - John F Barne's Approach

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a manual therapy technique that focuses on releasing tension and restrictions in the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs. Barnes' approach involves sustained pressure and stretching to facilitate the release of fascial restrictions, promoting improved flexibility, range of motion, and alleviation of pain. Addressing fascial restrictions can have positive effects on past trauma trapped in the tissue, as well as overall well-being by addressing the root causes of physical discomfort and dysfunction.
