Carnivorist Chats Episode 56 "Weathering The Health Storms" with Decedra Apgar

Decedra Apgar has an amazing and inspirational health story to share. At the age of 47, her health took a nose-dive. She had struggled with multiple health issues over the years, but in March 2019 it seemed as though her body just couldn’t take anymore and crashed. She awoke one morning with large patches of hives all over. Her allergist said not to worry, because the antihistamines and steroids would get it under control. In fact, it made it worse. Her anxiety went through the roof as the hives and severe itching continued. The insomnia, the itching, the extreme hunger, the anxiety… she was a wreck. The extreme anxiety was, in part, fueled by a history of anaphylaxis. She received allergy shots for 6 years when she was in her twenties. After she recognized the link between eating and developing hives, Decedra began to limit the kinds of foods she ate in order to limit the reactions, however her body seemed to react no matter what she did. She had become allergic to Benadryl, aspirin, and all other over the counter NSAIDS several years before, and now it seemed like she had become allergic to food in general as well. It was difficult to find something that wouldn’t cause a reaction. It felt like she had become allergic to life. Decedra then began searching for information anywhere she could find it. She eventually learned about histamine intolerance, salicylate and chemical sensitivities, and oxalate toxicity. An analogy Decedra likes to make as a native Floridian is that oxalates were the hurricane that spun off the tornadoes of histamine intolerance, salicylate and chemical sensitivities. She continues to pursue educating herself on ways to address oxalate toxicity and all the related conditions that can arise from it, and hopes that her story will help others along the way so that no one will suffer needlessly from this condition. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I did.
