Zeolite Helpful for Mast Cell Activation Symptoms

zeolite mast cell activation mcasWhen you have mast cell activation, it’s hard to find supplements that provide benefits without causing problems. Most are either synthetic, or they compromise the gut, detox system, or immune system. Fortunately, zeolite has a unique set of characteristics that support the body in all of those areas. For this reason, it can be a helpful tool when battling MCAS symptoms.

In this article, I discuss how toxic overload affects MCAS symptoms. Afterward, I will discuss several reasons why zeolite can help people with mast cell activation. I will then answer several questions about using zeolite for MCAS. 

Toxic Overload Causing MCAS Symptoms

When you have mast cell activation, your detoxification pathways are impaired. This is typically due to mycotoxin exposure. Certain mycotoxins, like trichothecenes, can impair both phase 1 and 2 detoxification and protein production. This stresses your liver/kidneys and blocks your body’s ability to remove harmful toxins. 

When this occurs, you start to have a backup of chemicals, toxins, and biogenic amines like histamine. This causes a domino effect, where the person reacts to these things in their environment. In this scenario, zeolite can come in and make a big difference. By slowly reducing the toxic burden, the detox channels can start to normalize, so the body can begin to heal.

How Zeolite Helps Mast Cell Activation

In the section below, I have outlined the main benefits zeolite can offer to those with mast cell activation. I also have provided links to studies that prove these benefits are possible. This can give you confidence that zeolite may be worth trying if you have MCAS. 

Eliminates Mycotoxins

Zeolite has been shown to eliminate mycotoxins. This is crucial because mycotoxins are the most common cause of mast cell activation. There are plenty that are problematic, but the number one mycotoxin group you need to be concerned about is the trichothecenes. These mycotoxins are so harmful that they were literally used in biological warfare.

If anyone knows how bad mold illness can get, it’s me. I went through mycotoxin poisoning myself and saw my daughter experience it, along with plenty of clients. To recover from mold illness, you must eliminate exposure and remove the mycotoxins. Otherwise, you will remain sensitive. Learn more about recovering from mycotoxin poisoning by reading my mold illness recovery protocol. It has everything you need to overcome this debilitating condition once and for all.

Chelates Heavy Metals

Zeolite has a strong infinity for heavy metals and other harmful toxins. Since heavy metals cause so much damage to the body, it is critical to have a natural product that can remove them. If you don’t, you will have cellular dysfunction, mineral deficiencies, and more, which will worsen over time.

Until recently, most people used EDTA and DMSA as chelating agents. Though they can be effective, they also have many side effects. In addition, they won’t work with someone with mast cell activation because they irritate the immune system. This is why the zeolite is so unique. It calms down the immune system while simultaneously removing the heavy metals.

Balances PH Levels

Zeolite has been shown to increase PH levels in the body. PH balance is critical to mast cell reactivity. In a more acidic environment, mast cells are far more likely to be reactive to things in their environment. In contrast, the mast cells are much calmer when the environment is above 6.5 pH. This is why zeolite can be of such a big help. 

In addition, by increasing the alkalinity, zeolite directly benefits the gut. The more alkaline, the less likely the mast cells in the gut will secrete histamine. Obviously, if you are struggling with MCAS symptoms, you want your mast cells to be as calm as possible.

Reduces Oxidative Stress

Zeolite helps mast cell activation by neutralizing free radicals and reducing oxidative damage. It does so by binding two various toxins that cause oxidative stress. This has a significant effect on mast cells, which are extremely sensitive to oxidative stress. When this occurs, it causes them to release histamine and other inflammatory chemicals. Though zeolite may not solve this problem alone, it’s definitely a step in the right direction. 

Binds to Histamine

DAO levels are typically low in people with mast cell activation. This causes histamine to build up in the gut, leading to inflammation, which causes symptoms. This is where zeolite can make a big difference. Zeolite has a porous cage-like structure that binds histamine and other biogenic amines in the gut. This is especially helpful for people with low DAO and histamine issues. Since it has the same action as DAO, it can be used to make up for low levels. I have used BOTH zeolite and DAO enzyme supplements. The micronized zeolite I use dramatically outperformed the DAO enzyme. 

Absorbs Toxins in Gut

Zeolite has been shown to help mast cell activation by binding to toxins in the gut, like ammonia, which is known to cause histamine release. In addition, it can improve intestinal permeability and bind to a wide variety of endotoxins, which can aggravate the mast cells. Also, if there are heavy metals in the gut, it can help to remove those. In the end, zeolite helps reduce the gut’s toxic burden. By doing so, you will have higher levels of beneficial bacteria, an improved intestinal lining, and a healthier gut microbiome.

FAQ- Using Zeolite for Mast Cell Activation

What are the leading causes of mast cell activation?

Several things contribute to symptoms of mast cell activation. Most importantly, the gut is unbalanced, the detox system is impaired, and there is an aggravated immune response. The question is, what is causing the immune system to become so overactive? Typically, the primary sources of the flares are what you consume, what you inhale, and stress. If you can identify the triggers, then you can make changes. Once you remove all triggers, you can consider supplements like zeolite to expedite your healing. This is the recipe for true MCAS healing.

Which brand of zeolite is best for MCAS?

I tried a few different zeolite brands and finally found one that produced results without side-effects. This was a micronized zeolite called Cell Defender by Avini Health. From what they say, they use a unique extraction process and clean the product of all contaminants. In addition, they have sold over 15 million bottles of Cell Defender and have countless testimonials. 

After seeing the results, I was excited to use the zeolite on my 7-year-old daughter. Within 60 days, I saw a big difference in her enunciation, how present she was, her behavior, and more. Thankfully, I was so impressed that I signed up for the reseller program. This is the only product I am doing this for, and ONLY because of what it has done for me and my daughter.

Are there any side-effects to using zeolite?

If you are using the right form of zeolite, there should be minor side effects if anything. When I used powdered zeolite, I started to notice gut pain and other strange emotional symptoms. Once I switched to a liquid micronized form of zeolite, I only experienced minor issues. If anything, I noticed my mind SLIGHTLY racing about 45 minutes after using it, but it went away, and I felt better than before. Over time, this slight detox reaction reduced in severity until it eventually disappeared. I interpreted this as if my body was attempting to remove toxins since I continued to feel better while using the product.

Does zeolite actually help with mast cell activation?

Yes, you can get relief from zeolite, but with MCAS, your success depends on other factors. The reality is, you must identify the things in your diet, environment, and lifestyle that are triggering your mast cell activation symptoms. If you don’t, no amount of zeolite will stop you from flaring. This is why I always tell my clients to focus on eliminating dietary irritants, identifying if mold is an issue, and implementing stress reduction routines like slow deep breathing. Once those things are accomplished, supplements like zeolite can make a big difference. If you add these things before making the changes mentioned, you will think they don’t work. 

Any other binders that are good for mast cell activation?

Yes, there are several options. Since mycotoxins/gut issues are the most common causes of MCAS, it’s best to start with supplements that address them. My favorites are bentonite clay, carbonized bamboo, apple pectin, and humic acid. These products help the gut and bind to heavy metals, mycotoxins, and other harmful toxins, making them quite helpful for MCAS.

Conclusion – Using Zeolite for MCAS Symptoms

If you are battling mast cell activation, your body is overwhelmed with toxins. To escape MCAS, you must change your diet to support detoxification and stimulate the lymph. This can be accomplished by transitioning to a diet predominantly centered around plants. By eating mostly plants, it will allow your lymph system to start working well again. Once you have gone mostly plant-based for a couple months, you can start detoxification products like zeolite. This will help you slowly detoxify your body and remain balanced on your path to healing.

In terms of detox products, zeolite is definitely one of the best. The critical thing to remember is that the brand makes a big difference. Certain zeolite products made me feel worse, and others helped me significantly. If you don’t succeed with one brand, try another until you find something that matches. Trust me, it will be worth the money and the time.
