Up to 20% of Population May Have Undiagnosed Mast Cell Activation Syndrome

Dr. Tanya Dempsey revealed that up to one in five people may be suffering from mast cell activation syndrome without knowing it, as the condition mimics common diagnoses like IBS, allergies, and chronic fatigue. The syndrome causes chronic inflammation throughout multiple body systems due to dysfunctional mast cells releasing over 1,200 different chemical mediators. This challenges conventional diagnostic categories and suggests millions are being misdiagnosed and treated for symptoms rather than root causes.
