The Histamine Factor (The &#8220;Histadelia&#8221; Link)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In functional medicine, under-methylation is often synonymous with <\/span><b>High Histamine<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (a state known as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">histadelia<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Methylation is the &#8220;Off Switch&#8221; for Histamine:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> One of the primary ways your body breaks down histamine is through a process called methylation (using the HNMT enzyme).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Vasodilation:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Histamine is a powerful <\/span><b>vasodilator &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">it makes blood vessels swell and expand.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The Trigeminal Nerve:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Excess histamine can irritate the trigeminal nerve, which is the main pain pathway involved in a migraine attack. If you are an under-methylator, you likely have a &#8220;full bucket&#8221; of histamine that your body can&#8217;t empty, making you highly sensitive to triggers like red wine, aged cheeses, or seasonal allergies.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>3. Neurotransmitter Imbalance<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Methylation is the &#8220;master builder&#8221; for your brain chemicals.

Over-methylating can happen (taking too many methyl donors) can sometimes cause its own set of issues, this is why it is important to not take more then what is recommended on the bottle of your methyl b-complex supplement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The connection between migraine headaches and under-methylation is rooted in a biochemical &#8220;glitch&#8221; often driven by the <\/span><b>MTHFR gene mutation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When the methylation cycle is impaired, the body struggles to convert folic acid into its active form, leading to a buildup of <\/span><b>homocysteine<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This amino acid is toxic to the vascular system in high amounts, causing inflammation and making blood vessels in the brain hypersensitive. Consequently, individuals with these genetic variants are significantly more prone to migraines with aura, as their bodies lack the necessary methyl donors to maintain healthy blood vessel function and prevent cellular stress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond genetics, under-methylation directly impacts the body&#8217;s ability to regulate <\/span><b>histamine and neurotransmitters<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Methylation acts as the primary &#8220;off switch&#8221; for histamine; without it, histamine levels remain elevated, leading to vasodilation and irritation of the trigeminal nerve &#8211; the main pain pathway involved in a migraine attack. Simultaneously, poor methylation hinders the production of stabilizing chemicals like <\/span><b>serotonin<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which lowers the brain&#8217;s &#8220;migraine threshold.&#8221; By addressing these deficiencies through active B-vitamins like methylfolate, many sufferers can bypass these metabolic roadblocks and reduce the frequency and severity of their attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are Migraines Linked To Under Methylation?
