I keep on getting these now, I want to say I notice them more during die off periods but these palps started recently. I went to the ER and they said everything was fine so yeah. I’ve noticed that dosing mag glycinate 200mg helps but it just comes back again. Anyone know what I can do?

Try to bind toxins. Coal, for example

Magnesium inhibits glutamate, which lowers norepinephrine, this lowers the heart rate. My guess is that norepinephrine (or adrenaline) rises in response to histamine. And the histamine problem is probably in the gut - low dao, or inflammation (sibo). So lowering histamine, I think, will also work.

There was an intestinal protocol somewhere, try it, maybe it will help.

It really comes after bananas, quite severely. It’s different to the normal herx reactions I get. It feels a lot more nervous system like, numbness in certain parts of the body too. Could be potassium but when I went to the ER they did bloods and I’m assuming it wasn’t a problem. I have no clue, I just avoid high potassium foods now and it seems to do the trick.

Potassium can also raise histamine, but it can also increase cortisol and catecholamines. Maybe try a cold shower or, conversely, a hot one? A cold shower will increase norepinephrine and cortisol, but lower histamine—this could clarify the situation. A hot shower will increase histamine. And if, let's say, a reaction occurs from a cold shower but not from a hot one, then it's more likely that the activation is due to an increase in serotonin, not histamine. If it's the opposite, from a hot shower, then it's a histamine issue. Bananas also contain a lot of tryptophan.

Furthermore, bananas have B6. B6 increases DAO (breaks down histamine), but at the same time, it increases HDC (conversion of histidine into histamine), and it's not entirely clear which direction the scale will tip.
