This episode is titled, "A Critical Link? Mast Cell Activation and Chemical Intolerance."
My guest is Dr. Lawrence Afrin, a long-time physician and expert on MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome).
You will hear Dr. Afrin discuss:
- Could MCAS be at the root of Chemical Intolerance for many people?
- The primary symptoms of MCAS and what to do if you can't find or see a doctor.
- Medication that people with MCAS could try with a discussion about fillers and excipients that can lead to reactions for people with MCS.
I hope you enjoy the conversation and find it of benefit.
