Antihistamines will often reduce symptoms of some CFIDS patients. Histamines
are often produced by chronic
infections; these histamines may cause coagulation and vascular constriction to
occur -- hence neutralizing the histamines will reduce symptoms. For more
information see Herxheimer Reaction.
Many CFIDS patients are hyposensitive to various substances.
Note: Removing the histamines do not eliminate the infection.
