Gabriel's Approach
Gabriel treats allergies as immune system overreaction rooted in gut dysfunction and impaired histamine clearance, NOT lifelong condition requiring antihistamines. Protocol: 1) Heal gut (reduce immune hyperreactivity), 2) Support DAO enzyme (breaks down histamine), 3) Stabilize mast cells (prevent excessive histamine release), 4) Support liver detoxification (clears histamine), 5) Reduce inflammation systemically, 6) Identify food triggers (high-histamine foods), 7) Optimize nutrients. Goal: retrain immune system to tolerate normal environmental exposures.
Root Causes
Why Conventional Fails
Antihistamines (H1 blockers: Claritin, Zyrtec, Benadryl; H2 blockers: Pepcid), nasal steroid sprays (Flonase), decongestants, allergy shots (immunotherapy), mast cell stabilizers (cromolyn sodium), corticosteroids for severe reactions.
Antihistamines block symptoms but don't address root cause (why is immune system overreacting?), side effects (drowsiness, dry mouth, cognitive impairment), tolerance develops, doesn't heal gut or reduce inflammation, doesn't investigate food sensitivities or nutrient deficiencies, allergy shots have mixed success and take years, doesn't address histamine intolerance or DAO deficiency.

Key Lab Markers
Dietary Guidance
Low-histamine diet (temporary while healing gut—4-6 weeks minimum): avoid high-histamine foods (aged cheese, cured meats, fermented foods, alcohol, vinegar, leftover/reheated foods, spinach, eggplant, tomatoes, avocado, shellfish); avoid histamine-releasing foods (citrus, strawberries, chocolate, nuts for some); eat fresh foods only; anti-inflammatory whole foods diet; eliminate gluten, dairy, sugar.
Lifestyle Factors
Stress management (stress triggers mast cell activation and histamine release), adequate sleep, address mold exposure (mold triggers MCAS), reduce toxin exposure (chemicals, fragrances trigger mast cells), gentle exercise (over-exercise releases histamine), manage gut health, avoid temperature extremes, sunlight exposure, reduce EMF exposure.
