Woops, I didnt mean cysteine, I meant histamine levels. You can tell I just woke up!!
Also in relation to histamine levels, this may be why suppp people really respond well to antihistamines and use them for mental comfort.Was that Claratin that people were going on about a few days ago an antihist?
ANyway catchya guys
