Gary Brecka explains how mast cell syndrome patients can harbor hidden infections that flare up when immunity drops after illness like flu. He advocates for personalized treatment combining sauna, gut binders, diet changes, and microbiome work rather than conventional one-size-fits-all approaches.
You have a patient that's positive for mast cell syndrome. I get influenza and I'm down for a week and then I'm back up. I'm like, okay, I don't have the cold anymore. Not realizing that you may still have it and be asymptomatic.
Mm-hmm.
And it may just be waiting for its opportunistic moment for the immune system to get run down again so we can again rear its ugly head. So for these people that find themselves in this myriad, where do they start? What other conventional therapies are you using? Are you using things like sauna, gut binders? Do you look at diet, gut microbiome?
It's all a part of it. Yeah. You know, my center's called Aiden Center for Personalized Medicine. So it's all personalized, right? So not everyone is gonna be able to tolerate a sauna. So we have to find other ways to detox. So for a lot of mast cell patients, we do, uh, red light therapy. That has actually been really, really helpful in reducing inflammation. So that's why I bring in all these different modalities, cuz I have to figure out what's gonna be the easiest way, right? To get to the root.
