McPac,
I'm sorry to hear you have not got the results you are looking for. It's hard to say without knowing what your test results where are what exact supplements you are taking. Some of the supplements which generally lower histamine also raise serotonin. These include calcium & methionine. I do not know why your histamine has gone up? There is some evidence that histamine antagonizes the metabolic effects of serotonin. The real test of effectiveness, as you know, is if you feel better. It sounds to me like there is something more complicated at play than simply histadelia (high histamine). I would encourage you should give them a call and discuss these issues with them.
The way to determine if one should avoid folate is to look at their red blood cell folate levels. A histadelic with high levels should probably avoid folate, while a histadelic with low levels should restore there stores. You are right, many people with depression are low in folate.
Are you familiar with water fasting under resting conditions. This historical healing technique was used by the three renowned Fathers of our Western Medicine - Hippocrates, Galen and Paracelsus. It encourage an advanced state of detoxification and rejuvenation. It is known to restore chemical balance. Hunger typically disappears after about 2 days. There is a listing of doctors who are qualified to supervise fasts at the following link:
International Association of Hygienic Physicians
