Health Revolution - Part 1 - Diving into Intolerances

Image
I originally intended this as an all inclusive, one parter, covering all my recent health research: To explain to people, as fully as possible, where I'm at and where I've been, personally. To raise awareness of my core discoveries (much of this may apply to many people). Possibly help others take short-cuts (I've already spoken to a few with similar issues). To review what I've looked at so far, reminding myself and reappraising with a critical eye. The grey sections contain stand alone information, e.g.: Food intolerance may affect 45% of the population , causing a surprisingly wide variety of easily fixable, idiopathic symptoms, throughout the body ( headaches, rashes, itching, diarrhoea, and vomiting ...). Histamine intolerance may affect as many as 1 in 10 (1 in 100 at lowest estimate). Almost always co-morbid with another food intolerance/disease [ source ].

I became aware of some supplements that really seemed to revitalise (at least for a time), " Happy Days : 5-HTP ", so i thought I'd give them a try while I was off the tricyclic. It likely has SSRI action, which is apparently a no-no in conjunction with these. [Image missing. Added scre...

In a bid to not feel like shit half the time, I'm looking to find out if i have an allergy to something which has been making me tired and fuzzy headed for the last several years. I'm starting with the components of a bowl cereal: Weetabix, Crunchy Nut and Milk (i.e.wheat, corn, dairy and various others), since I had a total energy crash the other day after breakfast, falling asleep for 3 hours when i'd already had at least 10 that night.
