I do like the comment by one of the dudes who says that it can deplete zinc. Histidine, being major source for zinc finger, allows zinc to be of use. So of course if you're sick you're going to use up zinc.

I'm thinking a good portion of us supplementing with histidine will require some zinc. Really out of all the minerals I've tested thus far while using histidine, zinc appears to be the only one that has appeared to give me benefits. Boron will be next.
(I'm a slow oxidizer, very high magnesium/calcium, mid-range potass/sodium).

Yes, lol we talked about zinc in the thread.

I took too much histidine two days ago and I felt like I had to cry constantly. Really weird, haha. Take it easy with the histidine, 250mg-500mg max.

I think it's hard for me to tell unless I get really agitated/irritated for too long or down for too long, but various supplements do affect my mood. I never took anything in the last 3+ yrs before this except mag, fish oil, etc.
-I can't pinpoint it easily. I do think HCL and histidine affect mood a bit, but I'm up and down anyways a bit. If something makes me happier, I don't always know what to attribute that to, and it could just be time.

Any of these supplements stop an allergy attack? I used to get anaphylactic shock (when a kid -- now I'm used to the pain, lol). With certain nuts. Accidentally ate a tiny bit of cashew or pistachio the other day. Usually I'd have 2 shots of espresso, and brush, floss, gargle. If bad, I'd take benadryl but I hate taking that (so tired). Non-drowsy reactine also, but I'm not taking any of that. I just use hydrasense or saline/netipot for day-to-day sinus/ breathing reasons.

Histidine may help. There was a log in the zinc finger thread that showed histidine and I think zinc and copper (or just copper), fixed a few people allergies. Theory is that excess histamine production causes a deficiency in histidine, since histidine makes histamine.

Also:

Usually people are intolerant to salicylates since there is no bioavailable copper. histidine makes copper available, since copper becomes available when there is histamine production present. IF there is no histidine, copper will become unavailable, since copper breaks down histamine and without histidine , there is no histamine. If copper is not available zinc and b6 are suppressed also since they convert histidine into histamine. When b6 is suppressed( or stays in its inactive form) since there is no copper available , your cant convert glutamate into gaba, thus you get stuck with high glutamate. this causes anxiety. and low stress tolerance.
this is done on purpose since glutamate into gaba conversion makes CO2. and without histidine body cant afford extra copper or Co2 , since histidine makes carbon anhydrase enzyme stay active and utilize Co2. Thus body stays in high glutamate state to substitute for low methylation , since folic acid is not converted into its active form in histidine deficiency, since active folate converts histidine into glutamic acid.
This is why it worked for that woman in the thread that I posted to you. when you feed copper and histidine and selenium. It lowers glutamate and increases conversion of folate into active folate and this starts methylation. When methylation starts you get improvements with learning socializing etc.

I hope this makes sense

Nice, I thought it was something like that:
Tubzy: "Theory is that excess histamine production causes a deficiency in histidine, since histidine makes histamine." I'll add it in later.

It's ironic that a thread started less than a week ago over there would then contain a sarcastic slur pointing over here, where we've known about L-Histidine for several months thereby representing the very definition of the attempted slur "GURU"... which simply means 'spiritual teacher, especially one who imparts initiation'... it was this forum , Gbolduev in particular obviously, that initiated the discussion of L-Histidine making us the gurus

dontchya think?
