I'm glad to see this discussion about the connection between long haulers and MCAS. My wish is that after this more doctors decide to specialize in mast cell disorders. I'm sure it's much more prevalent than anyone knows, yet finding an MCAS specialist is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
I'm a masto patient... Yeah, there are like 9 mast cell specialists in the world... then there are all the other doctors who know nothing about them. But when you know mast cells intimately as us masto/mcas patients do it is easy to immediately see the covid19/mast cell connection. To be quite honest, I panicked for months starting late Jan of 2020 when I started processing the current avail info on C19 bc I was acutely aware of my mast cell madness and what could potentially happen if I were to get C19 so I am very careful and I am on Ivermectin prophylactically. So far so good. Mask up!
@@kennaortega3708 Hi Kenna., I have similar to you., Would immunologists fall into this category? I don’t think my country has a Mast Cell specialist..: Have U had Covid vaccine? Apparently J&J has the least harmful Preservative! Tnx Jenny 🌸
I don’t know what area of the country you are in. I’m in NYC, I would highly recommend Anne Maitland, Lawrence Afrin, or my doctor, Albert Hirdt in New Paltz, NY 🙌🏽. I was diagnosed with MCAS before the pandemic. Dr. Hirdt radically improved my quality of life with his treatment protocol for me. Best of luck to anyone searching for a specialist.
This is what I believe happened to me. It's caused anaphylactic type reactions to all food, my pets, my car, etc. It's been hell. Ivermectin, Cromolyn, Ketotifen, quercetin, and vitamin C have helped a lot. I can eat again without swelling.
@@tommyortiz6623 I already had neuropathy, so nerve pain is normal for me. I actually started having issues before covid, but covid caused a flare. I got the cromolyn from my PCP and the ketotifen from overseas.
@@sherkirkpatrick8060 the problem with Mast Cell issues, everybody is different. Has she seen a hematologist yet? Because they're systemic mastocytosis where there is too many mass cells and then there's mast activation where the cells you have are just freaking out. She may want to look up the different ones and see if any of them apply. Had a friend back home that was reactive to water because of her mast cells. I react to my own sweat when the heat index gets too high. It's not improbable it's just a confusing place to be
Leaky gut has an undeniable connection with long term use of NSAIDS.....which can recover by using zinc carnotine and or slippery elm bark...good to see someone looking deeper into things...thankyou Dr Mobeen.
Those have not resolved my issues, and I have never been a big user of NSAIDS, I have had duodenal ulcer since 2009. I think my initial injury was Round Up contaminated in the MMR vaccine. Stephanie Seneff brought this up.
I had the mumps. Trust me you would rather have the vaccine. Even if the vaccine gave you problems. I still cannot get a straight answer at 45 years old if I can get the mumps again with the newest vaccine. I believe I can get it on the left and on both sides. If you don't know what it looks like to have the mumps, go Google it.
This discussion certainly was interesting. I wonder if this cause of COVID, if found to be the cause of severe illness and long haul symptoms, could also lead to better treatments or cures for Asthma and allergies.
Thanks Dr Been; I have MCAS and this is the best introduction to mast cell biology I have seen. You make topics accessible without dumbing them down. I hate mast cells, too - but of course they have important functions. Some have fallen by the wayside as we have become more hygienic and no longer suffer as much from intestinal parasites and - very important not to forget - ectoparasites, & that has lead to dysregulation of mast cells. Some cases of post-covid MCAS may be brand new, triggered by covid infection itself. I think my MCAS and my daughter's Celiac and oral allergy syndrome may have been triggered by an infection - possibly from our cat, who also has numerous food intolerances (he can only eat an Rx hypoallergenic duck-based cat food). Cats suffer from coronavirus infections, so I do wonder about that. We both also had a really terrible bronchiolitis a few years ago (symptoms were as bad as H1N1, which I had the misfortune of catching in 2009); the doctor said it was probably viral, but we had both eaten cheese that was later recalled due to Listeria contamination and got sick within the incubation period. Listeria can apparently linger in the bone marrow. Another possibility - a little weird, but interesting - is that a few months before we became ill the birch tree in front of our house became infested with bag worms and their frass (poop) was all over the front lawn and driveway. Insect feces can be immunostimulatory and we are both now allergic to birch. Along with the other things mentioned in the video, I think selenium as selenomethionne is useful and also use of HEPA room air filtration unit seems to help. I work out fasted first thing in the AM to avoid exacerbating symptoms (just eating causes mast cell activation). Edit: Magnesium is also really, really helpful - I'd say it outranks most of the other supplements, actually. Just be careful about heavy metal contamination (esp. lead).
I’ve heard of that Magnesium Chloride supplement. Have you also heard of Chlorine Dioxide supplement or CDS? I am taking CDS and it is helping. It gets rid of toxins in the body, virus, bacteria, fungi, even heavy metals. It oxygenates your cells too! Of course the FDA doesn’t want you knowing about it because it’s pennies per dose!
@@leannshort2211 Chlorine dioxide = bleach. Oxygenating your cells = oxidative stress, generally a bad thing. I'm for medical freedom, even if it means some people poison themselves.
@@rhyothemisprinceps1617 Ok buddy! 👌🏻 Oxygenating your cells = oxidative stress??! May be poison to YOU, but it’s m getting better soooo, go figure. You do realize hikers and campers use this to purify their water. 😒 Go ahead and keep believing and following what the stupid FDA says…. 😒🤦🏻♀️
Dr. Been, thank you so much for this beautifully simple explanation of the frequent occurrences through my life of severe allergies, asthma and anaphylaxis. I have never been so healthy as in this year of COVID thanks to isolation and my regimen of vitamin D, C, quercetin, zinc and other supplements you have so eloquently explained.
Both my wife and I took the same supplements Tested positive for reactive COVID19 Antibodies. And still doing great. We are both seniors with medical issues.
Can you also please cover in LHs week the NAD+ depletion theory and Niacin suplementation? This vitamin is being taken by many LHs... Some people trigger even flush effect to get rid of the remaining virus
I AM a FAN of Mast Cells. I am a retired clinical lab scientist which believes my body is wonderfully made. While I appreciate the info & review I cannot imagine how "researchers " keep imagining they can improve a wonderful system they do not understand and even worse massively change the way it interacts with the environment and natural biome. While I was not originally against the use of vaccines the overuse and abuse of vaccines is to me the biggest threat facing the world. (Antibiotic resistance on warp speed for one) I think article you linked to is interesting and hope to print it. More than anything I believe this points to reason for all the animal deaths in SARS1 vaccine attempts and frankly points to possibility of disaster with injection of mrna and ALL foreign substances into body. I firmly believe the increase in allergy and auto immune disease is occurring because of too much "intervention" by humans in an intricate system. Ignoring things like mast cells (mucus membranes, etc) in big pharmas BS "criteria" that antibody production ALONE is sufficient to claim vaccines are "effective " is a big lie. B cells are way down the line as you know. You don't like Mast cells and are now suggesting a mast cell "stabilizer " be added to our unatural diet? While our "go to" CDC tells us to wear masks, social distance and stay inside. So. We do not get needed vitamin D from sun. We do not get as much exposure to everyday viruses that help train our immune system naturally. We are deprived of exercise and O2. Some are being forced to wear masks all day and therefore forced to wear a CO2 incubator on their face - increasing bacterial growth and re breathing poisens. It is a shame and crime that people are being deprived of information needed to survive and defend themselves. They are being deprived of the "happy signals" sent straight from the face to the brain when we smile at each other (let alone try to speak.) Can the EXPERTS really mess people up anymore? I fear they are about to where we are awash in myriads of experimental vaccines and known vaccine injuries hidden rather than properly investigated. Vaccines need to have LIABILITY FREE STATUS ENDED IMMEDIATELY! You would see vaccine programs drop to about zero. Instead you wish to add to the porridge. I do not feel you immediately to be a "bad man" so what's up with this? Are you just so hooked in science and tech you see no other way to go? Answer a couple questions please: What GOOD do Mast Cells do?? Bet it's a lot isnt it? Could we live without them?
@@Miss-Hellcat666 Exactly. I'm wondering why, as to the complexity of the mast cells' multi warhead type action, severe allergic reactions aren't much more common than observed.
As a senior I still wear mask and social distant. Also as senior with medical problems my wife and I took Famotine 20 mg a day; Vitamin D3 2000IU a day Quercitin 500mg a day Zinc 40 mg a day Vitamin C 1000 mg a day. Magnesium 400mg a day; CoQ 10,100mg a day for the past year. For the heck of it we both had our blood tested for reactive positive COVED19 antibodies and both came out positive. We still have no obvious symptoms and intend to remain on these supplements for life. Now those are cool beens. Cheers
@@WadcaWymiaru thanks for the information I will ask my cardiologist to upgrade to a SARTAN. Do you have reactive positive antibodies in your blood as well? If you don’t know requests a blood work for them. Cheers
This is such fascinating information. As a sufferer of moderate to severe psoriasis, I often wonder how it fits into the possible COVID 19 immune system reactions or interactions?
I got the Moderna first vaccine dose four days ago. In addition to expected side effects, I believe it put my mast cells in overdrive. I have never had breathing problems before during other times when my skin swells hot, red and itchy. Now I'm very short of breath, coughing and can't take deep breaths. I need a doctor familiar with MCAS. Im near Little Rock, AR.
Read my comment in the threads on my second dose of Pfizer vaccination. Be aware. Be careful. Possible anaphylaxis for you on the second dose. Delayed response. 36 hrs. later. Do you have EpiPens?
@@zebraplant5977 I do not. I have been taking mast cell stabilizers every day for a couple of weeks now. Hopefully dose two tomorrow goes well. I'd sure hate to suffocate.
@@Anastasia11101 I'm doing great. I had the second dose and just had a daily antihistamine along with some of the things mentioned in this video. No reaction at all with the second dose, other than feeling like I was sick. So no massive swelling, which is what I was worried about. Now me and the fam are all double dosed and hoping the delta variant doesn't sweep the nation.
Hi Dr. As senior citizens with medical problems my wife and I took Famotine 20 mg a day; Vitamin D3 2000IU a day Quercitin 500mg a day Zinc 40 mg a day Vitamin C 1000 mg a day.

What you're doing looks good but i just question Famotidine. I thought if you lower acidity you can increase the chances of infection of various types plus some acid blockers are hard to withdraw from. I assume you also use a high quality multivitamin.
@@bobthrasher8226 Famotidine is a H2 blocker. Blocking excess histamine released from the Mast Cells granules prevent acute and chronic inflammatory responses caused by COVID19. President Trump Doctor put him on this when he caught COVID19. Today on CNN I learned that our Government is spending multiple billions of dollars over the next 4 years to study the effects of COVID19 on the long hauler. As far as I am concerned I already know the answer and I and my wife will continue to take our supplements for years to come. Cheers
@@WadcaWymiaru I had double open heart surgery in 2018 from heart blood vessels being blocked. No actual heart damage because of taking CoQ10 and both my wife and I take metoprolol for our heart and to control high blood pressure. The Co Q10 is thought to occupy many of the AC2 receptor in a safe fashion.
I have genetically tested and confirmed Arthrochalasia Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome otherwise known as Ehlers Danlos Syndrome/Osteogenesis Imperfecta Overlap Syndrome, meaning my connective tissue is screwy as hell. Mast Cells live in connective tissue as we all now know and I feel like I'm dying most of the time, immunogenetics probably wouldn't be handing out Vitamin C and D and recommending low-histamine diets. Not sure what Hematology will say but I have my results appointment for MCAS tomorrow and Haematology initial consult the next day. I really suspect EDS is so underdiagnosed as well as MCAS and POTS, this trifecta is extremely common and gets missed so often. Once I am working in genetics I want to study this link further. Thank you so much! PS Can I be moon been :)
I have MCAS and I am holding out for Novavax if I decide to go that route, seems to have a "quieter" impact on the body. Would love to hear your thoughts on this Dr. Been.
Thank you I have MCAS and none of my drs know anything about it and certainly not how it relates to Covid. I have the time to research as much as I can and then print the paper or study and give it to my dr. I have a treatment plan which I developed for me showed to Dr and they said that looks good try it. ( I do live in a rural area.) I will be printing copies of your information in a few days.

@@thomasfraser9072 a word of caution abt zinc though, long term supplementing without balancing it with copper can lead to nerve damage. And 15mg/day is better if not in the accute phase that requires the heavier dosage.
Thanks for the info doc! No wonder Americans are so hard hit by this disease from what I understand the standard American diet is rather low in anti-oxidants and probably low in mast cell stabilizers.
Thank You DrBeen! Antihistamines helped some, but mast cells are the root problem. I went immediately and got some over the counter products and took them in the parking lot! I pray they help me. I am beyond worn out suffering...
I am so hopeful after listening to this discussion of Mast Cells and how they may be involved in long term side effects of Covid. I have had loss of smell and taste for over 2 months and I'm very interested in the stabilizers. I'm off to get some Famotidine to go with my Vit D3. Thank You!
If serious Covid is indeed an allergic reaction then it's weird to treat it with a vaccine... like introducing small amounts of peanut powder to someone allergic of peanuts.
I’m sorry to hear about your friend, such sad times. My uncle died from Corona w/ MCAS, and I’m a Covid long hauler because of MCAS. I’d rather have a vaccine than a deadly 2nd infection. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SHH1vWD19Fw.html
@CellGames2006 No, a vaccine is not the same as the virus. Before you jump to conclusions first read reliable sources about what those vaccines actually are and do.
@@dont_shoot_the_messenger I went into anaphylaxis 36 hrs. after the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. Wanted to put that out there. Pass it on...Wasn't aware I had mas cell issues. Now, I carry an EpiPen. Best!
@@CellGames2006 I went into anaphylaxis 36 hours after the second dose of Pfizer Covid vaccine. Pretty serious. Maybe I will get a mast cell test, as a biomarker? Pass it on...reactions to the vaccine. Be aware of possible delayed reaction.
Please Dr Mabeen I like to know what role does the vaccines plays with Mast cell Activation syndrome . I like to know if a person with MCAS can vaccinate or not.
If your symptoms are well controlled there is less risk. Antihistamines before the vaccine is what most mcas patients in my support group are doing but if you are undiagnosed or not well medicated and symptom controlled I would wait until you are.
I’m severe with mcas. I took Pfizer. I did need something g more than my daily Zyrtec so type 2 histamine blocker Pepcid ac (famotidine) did great. Second dose actually gave me more energy. I have autoimmune, mcas, fibro, ME and am 80% bed ridden. So thankful I took the vaccine
This is an excellent explanation I already deal with MCAS and got Covid in December. Yesterday I broke out in a rash on my body that looks to be a long haul issue. It came about two weeks after I was over Covid. My doctor is treating it with MCAS meds and added prednisone.
You have many watchers from countries where IVM is not available. I know that that equal alternative does not exist but maybe you could share your thoughts what to use instead to get a reaction as similar as possible ?
I never had any allergies until I got vaccinated with recombinant (GMO) Heptatitis B vaccine. Now I can't get rid of them. I want to know more about Mast cells.
That's called a trigger. Everything making you react, is something you have been in contact with before. Otherwise your mast cells would not know when to release mediators. There is a slim-to-none chance that there was something in the shot that triggered you. My mom is allergic to embryo of egg. That's not the same as eggs. When she reacts she's reacting to the egg in the shot. It's possible something like that happened to you. Go to an allergist get tested.
@@justwinks1553 "slim to none". Your joking. I was there, remember. Treating people like retards and screwing up their lives with these vaccines. That attitude is what breeds strict anti-vaxxers. The Hep B destroyed my healthy immune system. Period. It was the GMO virus--not "something" in the vaccine. Heck, I don't eat GMOs, much less want to be injected with a GMO version of a dangerous virus. We are probably destroying mankind right now. Heck, Sarscov2 is likely a GMO contruct itself designed by vaccine/virus scientist. Whoops, there goes mankind.
@@OWK000 it really infuriates me when people out so much faith into a vaccine that they dismiss peoples stories about their own bodies lol. I now have MCAS from the Pfizer vaccine. Nothing but the shot caused that. Sorry that you’ve also had similar experience.
Thank you for this very interesting topic. I wanted to know if the MCAS is linked to the fact that less and babies are being exclusively breast fed. Secondly has any research been done regarding the micro biota of the gut of people with MCAS? Thanks for clarfying.
The microbiome absolutely plays a major role in MCAS. Start healing the gut and taking a good quality probiotic and homemade fermented foods and you’ll start to see a change. Local raw honey as well!
Dear Drbeen I follow your channel because it is accurate and educative. I need information on PEG test for people with Mastocytosis or MCAS. Can you interview Dr Mariana Castells from Brighan and Women in Boston. She is the only MCAS specialist on the Northeast of USA. There are hardly any doctors with knowledge on MCAS and people underdiagnosed.
I have been treated for MCAS for nearly 3 years. I’m convinced that I had covid in mid-February 2020. I live in NYC. I have no doubt whatsoever that my MCAS treatment spared me from having severe and/or long covid.
Very good and great cartoons. Ann Maitland has some great discussions of the mast cells but she does not link it to the long hauler covids. I never had these problems before covid. it was a killer to me, and a year later I am still fighting it, I am disabled now because of it.
Hi I'm a laung haluer from covid as well and I want to know your experience and how you deal with it being disabled now .it's hard for me since I have a toddler and I'm currently pregnant
I love the videos by Ann Maitland because she actually explains the reasons why you can get MCAS, like infections, 2 or 3 copies of the tryptase gene, autoimmune disease or food sensitivities. Of course the mast cells are located in the connective tissue. What seems to help me big time is being VERY careful what I eat. Almost carnivore. Grass fed meat only. Very careful what produce I eat. Organic only. Use reverse osmosis. No meds. Often I have heard its linked to black mold exposure too.
Excellent explanation, thank you - been suffering from extreme pruritus (and other symptoms) since 2nd vaccination (now 21 months). Now having to avoid anything with high histamine (now that I know what the hell it is/has been)....
My child has MCAS and takes Claritin. Doctor says it is either caused by intestinal permeability. Have you found this in your research. Can healing the gut cure MCAS??
Thank you for your educational videos when the virus hit our home we had not done a research and we were not prepared we only practice prevention so my son had worse symptoms than me he goes to the Banner hospital emergency room in Glendale Arizona they tell him he has pneumonia they give him prednance on an antibiotics by the third day of starting the meds had to call 911 they hospitalize intubated and died I'll make a long story short I want it answers I didn't know what happened so I did my research which took a while and then went into the hospital information portal where I could clearly see that he had been given a wrong diagnosis the report had a lot of information I could see the vitals were good his breathing was very good the doctor checked his lungs set the lungs were clear yet when it got to the PA to release him all she saw was Covid and automatically sent pneumonia she did not look at the details like I did what he really had was a residual effects of covid he was about one or two days free of covid but the PA was too much of in a hurry to get them out and just prescribe them a poison that Lord his immune system and kill them lawyers will not take covert cases when I come French at the hospital about their protocol they said we do not have protocols just suggestions well I wish they would have told that to my son that it was just a suggestion and not prescribed the meds that killed them it's the same way with the Lexi now I believe that bringing it out too soon too fast and then the long run because they're not looking at the details it will do more harm than good I know I'm not getting the vaccine I believe the lie that they told us about my son having pneumonia I'm not believing this lie.. vaccine will make things better
The poster girl for m.e., Jennifer did a film called "unrest". The mast cell ate her collagen and ligaments in the neck which caused an acquired form of ehlers danlos syndrome. Cranio cervical instability. She has now been diagnosed with mcas. I got interested in this when I notice everytime I had fresh orange juice my anxiety went away. I asked every doc I saw over years. They just said I was a psychiatric case. Look at Janice jonela too. She's known about this for 40 years. It's crazy that no one in the UK knows. Diaezepam is great but the docs won't prescribe it here. So disappointed in the medical community. Not you sir, but how the hell do I know this as a sufferer...it's terrible and negligent and just shows the intransigence if medical communities
@@Anastasia11101 I am sorry to hear I am not alone. Unfortunately, I am now no longer able to work. I am scared for my future. Have you found a good MCAS doctor?
I was injured by the J&J vaccine and suffered from long COVID for two months. I went on a low histamine diet (eggs and broccoli cooked in olive oil is now a staple) with vitamin D, C and Zinc supplements. I felt 1000% better in a week.
How are symptoms or labs usefull for knowing if have mild or not so mild over reactive MCAS (or related) ?? Have some symptoms but no IgE allergies. Test for IgA or M or D...? Tryptase was 3.3. Best info have found is lowhistaminechef , lots of research and references. If mast cell stabilizers might overdo and cause easier to be "infected" unless put into just part of body as read Israel is testing one breathed in so just to lungs.
Drbeen Medical Lectures- HI Dr. Today 6/26/21 I am looking at this video. I'm very interested in the Covid topics because I lost one family member due to poor medications & one recovered. My aunt 85, received HCQ protocol, and so I'm learning about Long Haul...She does not want to take the vax due to her allergies...which when listening to your detailed explanation, I believe this is what she has ...MCAS. I'm not a Dr. but when I spoke w/ her she explains these very simptoms from time to time. I manage her supplements having learned early on she needed D3, Vit C, Zinc 50 mg., so I will now incorporate Quercetin & switch off CoQ10...Thank you so much for this video...so I'm catching up on so much out there...God Bless You..
I had COVID last June and recovered in 12 days. Only had low grade fever and lost sense of taste for 4 days. Body aches for a few days were pretty bad, especially back pain. No after effects and I am 56 years of age with no underlying medical issues EXCEPT for histamine intolerance when I eat certain foods. Not quite full blown MCAS, but I do have a mast cell issue, BUT when I had COVID I took 17 different supplements such as Quercetin Phytosome, zinc, D3/K2, NAC, R-Lipoic Acid, and a few more.
I was told I had MCAS years ago..I caught COVID early on and was very sick in bed for 6 weeks. I am also a long haler who now has asthma and still struggles with taste and smell . It’s been over one year.
As a post-viral fatigue syndrome due to hepatitis c (also candida Albicans and e-pylori) 2 years clear of hepatitis and 4 of the others does that mean i experienced mast syndrome?
Long haul is crucial. I m 3 1/2 months out and still having a variety of issues, sometimes very disturbing . is there a site somewhere where I can find a list of supplements and/or physicians who are willing to prescribe Ivetmectin?, etc off label?
I believe to have gotten Covid in March 2020. There were no tests at that time. I was mildly sick for about a month. Then in July 2020 the long hauler symptoms started. I’ve been tested for pheo/paraganglioma, hormone disorders, autoimmune, brain scans and ultrasounds. Everything also came back negative/clear. I was getting extreme adrenaline surges that would spike my heart rate to 170-200. I’ve had to many symptoms to list here. My cardiologist did a full workup and diagnosed me with Dysautonomia/POTS. I was then sent to an allergist/immunologist for MCAS testing. Those test came back positive. Since starting treatment I’ve improved tremendously. I recently had a T cell test which came back negative. In October 2020 I tested negative for antibodies. I’m so confused 🤔 All my symptoms point to Covid, but I have no proof. I don’t have allergies. I clearly have MCAS. Is it possible that the mast cells cleared the virus. Would this explain the lack of T cell and antibodies showing up on tests?
My nephew was just diagnosed with mastocytosis, he got the covid-19 experimental drug injection about 2 months ago and now he's got this! The doctors are doing bee injections. I'm sure this is from getting the shot is there anything you could advise? Please please please anyone he's only 52 and he's too young I can't let him go doctor says he might have 5 years at best or 3 months! Please respond to what we should do? Thank you
Ich denke,die Mastzellaktivierung und auch die Mastzellvermehrung sind Ausdruck eines alternativen Immunsystems,gebildet aufgrund jahrelangem Vitamin D Mangel.
DMSO has helped CROHNS in the past for me, now I have a stricture, and covid I think has caused mast cell problems for me, is DMSO to use for covid caused mast cell probs?
Hello, A family member suffers from MCAS and is considering the monoclonal antibody infusion due to being diagnosed with COVID a few days ago. Is the infusion safe for people with MCAS? Thanks for your help?
I have Covid long-haul symptoms, I also have a severe allergy to peanuts. Because anaphylaxis is evidently caused by the mast cells, is my allergy in any way an indication that I may be experiencing MCAS?
I have hives event which I believe was activated by mast cell. Already had 2 shots of covid vaccines. Is it save for me to continue with a booster shot. I'm 62 years old. Can advise. Thanks.
Watch Dr Maitland's videos on the Ehlers Danlos Society channel. She lists: 1. Untreated infection 2. 2 or 3 copies of the tryptase gene 3. Autoimmune disease 4. Its very common in people who have joint hypermobility like EDS as the mast cells are in the connective tissue 5. Many, many people report they got it after black mold exposure. 6. She also said sometimes the mast cells are just fighting dangerous things like toxins or nasty chemicals. 7. Eating foods you are sensitive to.
