AMINES &HISTAMINES

www. jo l ieesk in .com

Supplements can help the liverdetoxify chemicals &

gradually prevent salicylatesensitivity & amine sensitivity.

Common symptoms include:

• eczema, dermatitis, hives, itchy skin• headaches and/or migraines

• aggressive behaviour • behaviour problems• poor attention span • ADHD/ADD

• anxiety • panic attacks • depression• possible link with schizophrenia

Amines are chemicals caused by fermentationand protein breakdown. According to researchfrom the RPA Hospital Allergy Unit in Sydney,

36% of eczema sufferers experience a worseningof eczema symptoms from amine-rich foods.

Histamines are triggered in the body in responseto an allergic reaction, and histamines are also

supplied in some foods.

According to several research papers, eczemasufferers often have elevated histamine levels inthe blood combined with a reduced capacity todetoxify these histamines. As a result, histamine

and amine sensitivity can occur.
