In memory, with love, Yasmina Ykelenstam of “Healing Histamine”
A dear friend and colleague passed away yesterday from breast cancer. It came as a shock. She was only 43 years old. Yasmina Ykelenstam and I were both running websites in the early days of blogging and we did a lot of bouncing ideas off one another back in the early days of that foment …
The histamine intolerance link and how this paleo girl went vegetarian — and back again — dysregulation demands it
