Got Fibromyalgia & Sensitive to Everything? Part 1: Mast Cell Activation Syndrome
Vitality101 Newsletter
Hello Reader,
Many people with fibromyalgia are incredibly sensitive to any treatments. Especially to medications, but sometimes also to herbals, nutrients, their environment, and even electromagnetic fields (EMFs) such as radiation from cell phones. This makes it very tricky to take anything to recover.
But the good news is that you can overcome this problem.
In this article series, I'm going to discuss some of the major triggers that can cause you to have severe sensitivities to your environment and to your treatment options, and show you how to effectively deal with this. The seven-part series includes:
- Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)
- Food Sensitivities
- Neurologic Triggers
- A Primer on Molds
- Treatment for Mold Exposure
- Doing Your Own Research on Molds
- Bartonella
In this first part, I begin with the topic of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). This is a good starter as it's easy and inexpensive to deal with, and the treatment is often highly effective.

An amazing leap forward in herbal medicine has been the development of a very highly absorbed form of curcumin called "BCM 95." This has increased absorption over the previous best products by 693%, meaning 1 capsule replaces 7 old ones!*
Over 1,000 studies show curcumin to be a very promising herb. What really caught my attention was that we were getting some near miraculous reports of pain relief from many people who had suffered for years. It can be taken with other pain meds and supplements.*

Optical Illusion
Believe it or not, these two skulls are the exact same color! It's called the "Munker-White" illusion. The effect happens because the skull on the left has blue stripes in the foreground with yellow in the background, while the skull on the right has it the other way around. Don't believe me? Look at the 2nd image further down the page. That's the exact same graphic after the stripes are removed. Crazy right?
