Distilling a Decade Worth of Specialized Knowledge into a Course
Dr. Lum noticed that most of his patients had a histamine component to their chronic illness and that the typical approach to healing histamine issues did not have a high success rate.
Using his specialized knowledge, he will address the top myths keeping you from getting better and outline the game-changing interventions to help you heal naturally.
The key to getting rid of histamine-related issues relies in the specificity of treatment and the 'order of operations' in which those treatments are administered.
In this online-course format, Dr. Lum can help you chart a path out of ambiguous treatment options.
Research and its Clinical Implications
High quality research and clinical experience are of limited use in a vacuum. Dr. Lum merges the two to present you with a novel approach to recovery.
Getting You Beyond a Low-Histamine Diet
Dietary interventions alone are usually ineffective. Dr. Lum outlines what might be holding. you back and shares what really works with his patients.
Empower Yourself To Guide Your Recovery
We empower you with the knowledge to be more informed when crafting your own treatment path. Our aim is to reduce the time of your recovery by having you avoid the major pitfalls and assumptions that have slowed patients down.
Why Don't Treatments for Histamine Intolerance or MCAS Usually Work?
Most approaches for Histamine Intolerance/MCAS rely on a series of assumptions (which I cover in this mini-course) that result in limited effectiveness. One of these assumptions is the persistent idea that histamine intolerance is something to be managed, not something to be resolved completely.
Complete symptom resolution is a common occurrence in my practice. By specializing in hard-to-treat patients, Dr. Lum learned that everyone is capable of healing completely and that the vast majority of patients who have been told to 'just live with' symptoms have not been fully medically investigated.
This mini course is designed to give you real-world solutions that you can apply, specific tests that your doctor can order, and supplements that have been effective for our patient base.
Importantly, it will also change the way you think about Histamine-related symptoms.
How will Dr. Lum's 'Mastering Histamine' Course Help Me?
Dr. Lum distills all the most relevant information about Histamine-related symptoms in this course. It aims to empower the patient with knowledge to navigate future doctor's appointments and to know what treatments have actually made a difference in other patients' healing trajectories.
The key to getting rid of histamine-related issues lies in the specificity of treatment and the 'order of operations' in which those treatments are administered.
In this online-course format, Dr. Lum can help you chart a path forward out of ambiguous treatment options and endless, overly restrictive diets.
How is Dr. Lum's 'Mastering Histamine' Course Different?
There are many other Histamine-related courses and protocols. Most rely on a specific ideology rather than extensive clinical experience or published research. Very often, a specific diet or treatment program sounds great on paper but is untenable when applied to patients in real life.
Dr. Lum's approach is informed by the latest research, which he cites within this course. That research informs his approach to healing histamine issues within his patient population, but is constantly refined based on patient response.
Importantly, his patient base consists of those who are particularly sensitive, so these guidelines are more likely to be tolerated by those who have tried multiple approaches with limited success.
This course also intentionally does not insist on a rigid one-size-fits-all approach to diet or treatment options - it is meant to provide a framework for crafting the ideal treatment approach for yourself.
Removing the Need for Lifelong Low-Histamine Diets
Those patients who have exclusively managed their histamine intolerance or MCAS with a strict diet of avoiding histamine-producing and high-histamine foods only ever have partial success.
It is common in my practice for patients to be able to eat whatever foods they want after the underlying contributing factors for their reaction are uncovered and properly addressed.
In this course I also tell you why you are reacting to certain foods, the science behind it, and the exact dietary and herbal supplements as well as the lifestyle changes that made histamine reactivity a thing of the past.
Diagnoses of histamine intolerance and MCAS are too often prematurely given to patients when further medical investigation is needed. If dietary interventions have been the only option given to you, its time for a fresh approach.
