Water and Histamine

Histamine is present when we are developing as a fetus in our mother’s womb. It is the first neurotransmitter in our body. That is because histamine oversees water distribution and cell growth by delivering water and nutrition such as potassium to each cell. When the cells are strong enough, they will begin the process of dividing over and over again. Histamine also protects the cell against bacteria, viruses and chemicals.

The most natural antihistamine is water. Histamine stops producing rapidly when water is present. That is why Dr. Batmanghelidj recommends a dietary increase in water for those producing too much histamine such as people who suffer from asthma and allergies. Drinking a couple glasses of water will release adrenaline from the sympathetic nervous system for about 90 minutes. Exercise also releases adrenaline.

Dr. Batmanghelidj describes more about histamine: “The excess histamine is held in storage for its drought-management program, yet its immune system stimulation will cause a greater-than-required release of the agent. Histamine-producing cells release their histamine reserves, and they immediately begin to divide and create new histamine-producing cells.” Without water, we have too much of a good thing. While histamine is designed to protect and provide, there needs to be inner balance between all chemicals in the body.
