The truth is
Dr. Will Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Truth is a mist
You can't hold it in your hand
It slips right through your fingers
Like a fist full of sand
Truth is a ghost
Haunting the town
And though you might believe in it
You'll never pin it down

The truth is so elusive
It's often inconclusive
It bubbles up and vanishes, it's fizz
The truth is the truth is many things
It never just is
So keep your secrets to yourself, lover
Keep 'em on the shelf
Keep 'em undercover
Far better to conceal it
Than dish it out and deal it
Just remember, baby
It's not real 'til you reveal it
Truth is a rope
That can turn into a noose
But pass off as a lasso
If you spin it fast and loose
Truth is a moan
From down the hall
That sorta sounds a bit like both
A beating and a ball
I don't need a detective
To detect what's so subjective
My truth is not the same as hers or his
Oh, the truth is, the truth is many things
It never just is

Truth never just is
It never just is

Overall Meaning

In "The truth is," Dr. Will explores the elusive nature of truth and its many manifestations. The lyrics suggest that truth cannot be easily grasped or held, as it constantly slips away like sand running through one's fingers. The metaphor of truth as a mist and a ghost emphasizes its intangible and enigmatic qualities. While one may believe in the existence of truth, it remains ever elusive and challenging to pin down.

The song highlights the subjectivity of truth, as it is influenced by individual perspectives and experiences. It is revealed that truth is not a singular entity but can take on different forms and meanings for different people. The line "the truth is many things, it never just is" implies that truth is multifaceted and complex, and it cannot be reduced to a singular definition or interpretation.

The lyrics also touch on the consequences of truth. It suggests that truth can be both liberating and potentially harmful. The reference to truth as a rope that can become a noose implies that the same truth one holds dear can also be used against them. The notion that truth can be spun like a lasso reveals the manipulative power it can hold when used cleverly.

Overall, "The truth is" serves as a reflection on the intangibility and subjectivity of truth, highlighting its ever-changing nature and the different ways it can be perceived and utilized.

@ZOE, can you create a podcast looking deeper at the correlation of histamine intolerance and acne, please?

I've been with ZOE since August 2023. Recently, I got my microbiome retest done, and my results improved massively, YAY! I feel better. Bloating and lethargy is a thing of the past, and my good/bad gut bacteria numbers improved also.

However, during the same time, I've been working with a specialist to cure my acne.
I've changed and improved upon so many aspects of my life, including the holistic approach, but my hormonal acne keeps coming back. More recently, I'm getting hot flushes. I'm 34 yo, and my TSH, T3, T4 are normal. FYI, when I had a benign thyroid tumour at the age of 14yo, my thyroid tests were exemplary, too.

Recently, I got a histamine intolerance test done, which shows that my DAO level is at 3.80 (supposed to be above 10)

I'd love it if you could dive deeper into this topic, as I'm sure many would benefit from this information!

Many thanks 😊

1. Heal gut lining-no gluten or grain
2. Add HCI if needed to reduce pathogens coming in
3. Supplement w/DAO &glutathione to keep the cycle going.
4. Elimination diet to see what you can tolerate at this time.

I went strict carnivore-BBBE
Beef
Butter
Bacon
Eggs
For about 18 months. I was so sick that it took awhile to figure out the histamine sensitivity.

I've had two bouts of histamine intolerance, the first time it lasted for a year, the second time only for a couple of months. Both times it was caused by prolonged stress. Both times it didn't come about when the stress was the most intense, but when it was already subsiding. I took antihistamines, loratadine seems to have the least side effects for me. Antihistamines only took the edge of it, so I was able to sleep, but didn't take the itch or swelling completely away. For some time I had to double the dose. I was on a low histamine diet, until the symptoms subsided and then I slowly introduced more foods. The low histamine diet is extremely bland and sad, and I think it's missing too many nutrients, so it cannot be a permanent solution. But most importantly, I've been trying to manage stress better, I take care of myself emotionally. I hope you recover very soon 🤗

I am very grateful that there are doctors who know about histamine intolerance. Having said that: healing leaky gut when you have histamine intolerance is like driving out the devil with the Belzebu. Histamine intolerance cause itself leaky gut and can only be cured when the intolerance goes away. Those affected know this only too well. You go around in circles. What was not discussed was a possible dysbiosis, which in turn can lead to increased release of histamines in the intestine, as there are many good intestinal bacteria that produce histamines themselves. For dysbiosis fermented food could help, but you can not tolerate with HI, so you go in circles again.

L. Glutamine can help with healing a leaking gut. I struggled with a leaky gut and had L. Glutamine, with vitamin C and Zinc and this helped me. I know people with histamine intolerances have to be careful with some probiotics, especially if they come from fermented foods, but I am not sure if they would react badly to L. Glutamine, zinc and vitamin C. It might be a good place to start and then slowly introduce probiotics.

Diving in in more details, medications potentially causing it, other conditions linked to it, dealing with it on a day to day basis, histamine friendly menus, dos and don’ts, how to heal the gut when one is intolerant to histamine, what to do when intolerance doesn’t go despite a good approach to diet, are there genetic predispositions etc…

I think the 3% is underestimated. I have hives and psoriasis . I grew up eating foods I am now highly allergic to. Turns out symptoms can often take up to 72 hours to kick in so it’s impossible to gauge sensitivity. I had testing done but not till after 10 years of trying to figure things out on my own. I’m thinking lots more people today are becoming more and more allergic. I had no issues until my late 20s . Now 50. Then there is the ones that have symptoms but doctors can’t find the cause so they label it with something mean wile food is often the culprit.

This video is life-changing for me. It confirms what I always suspected to be true - I am extra sensitive to histamine. I just couldn't figure out why. I am a urologist (yay for histamine and erections!) but couldn't find any good confirmatory tests. I was told to cut out tomates, chocolate to help with my acid reflux - and it made a world of a difference. However, I had formal GERD testing done with a BRAVO capsule - and I didn't have nearly enough reflux episodes to qualify for GERD. I now suspect my improvement in cutting out tomates and chocolate aren't due to the acid reflux itself, but the histamine load. My father and I are also "allergic" to eggplant (and he doesn't like tomatoes). Everyone always so surprised when I list that an allergy. And my reaction is worse with alcohol which makes sense now. Also benadryl works wonders for my "hangover" when I drink - also confirming my suspicions that my "hangover" is just from the histamine. Now I can't wait to add pea sprouts to my diet and see if this allows to work back in my tomatoes and wine!!!

@paulab8574

I feel exactly the same! I have a crazy reaction to alcohol: sneezing, runny nose, awful sinuses. I often take Benadryl before a night out! I also have had terrible GERD and digestive issues, including gallstones. I am so reluctant to cut out tomatoes - they are a almost a daily ingredient in our cooking! I agree with you - I'm going to check out the sprouting peas.

I was diagnosed chronic sinus infections years ago. Then a nurse happened to recommend eliminating dairy to see if that helps. It did. It was life changing. I get sinus infections with all dairy and soy. Very sad.

@shirleyac12

Dairy is mucus producing . Causes nasal drip that irritates the throat . Mucus fills the sinus and blocks them . Sinuses should be empty and full of air only . The ears , the nose and throat all affected. The mucus goes into the gut and an cause loose stools . Headaches and cough ,sneezing and even eyesight affected .

I started following the nourishing traditions diet about two months ago. Then I started eating for my menstrual cycle since I’ve always had incredibly painful periods with no diagnosis of anything being wrong. Increased my intake of many foods dramatically: fermented veggies, kefir, nuts, citrus foods, avocados, kombucha, and basically everything else that is histamine producing or high. I was also drinking apple cider vinegar before my meals if they were a little carb heavy to mitigate a spike in blood sugar. Needless to go on, I’ve been eating high amounts of all these foods for two months. A week ago I started feeling horrible. I had THE worst menstrual cramps in my life, headache, rash on my hands, horrible post nasal drip and nasal congestion, heart palpitations, and more. I’ve been investigating for 48 hours and I was completely unaware of histamines in food and definitely of histamine intolerance.

Can you be more specific about HOW WE HEAL from histamine intolerance? Because I have been on a low histamine diet for YEARS and sometimes I also have to take DAO supplements [when there is too much polen] + antihistamines.

I want to heal my gut, but have no idea what to do since fermented foods don't really help.

I am doing a low-histamine diet for more than 3 years now and I thought my gut will heal itself when I give it a rest but nothing has changed. In fact it even got worse. I am now eating gut healthy diet with moderate amounts of histamine like yogurt, green banana and even some fodmaps like garlic etc. I learned that a low-histamine diet is NOT the treatment but only improves the symptoms temporarily. I wished I knew this earlier. I am not healed as its only been 3 weeks but I can feel its improving. I also take probiotics. I have read it can take up to 1 year to heal your gut and at least 1 month of probiotics to see improvements in your symptoms. So give it some time don't overdo it include foods in your diet step by step, that's what I'm doing.

I want to slowly add more veggies [no onion garlic yet :)) i am not that courageous].

After 30 years I finally realised why cows milk caused my skin problem (painful eruptions on face and upper back). It comes down to the cow genetics. A1 milk from 'modern' black and white cows. This has a histidine component. A2 - 'old fashioned' Guernsey, Jersey, dairy shorthorn - doesn't have it. My brother (same issue as me) now buys Guernsey milk from a local farm and he is fine. However, I believe there is an interaction with hormones. Both of us began to get the problem at puberty although from an early age I had an aversion to drinking cows milk. I seem to be OK now after 30 years of evading nearly every product containing cows milk (although later I realised cheese seemed to be ok, possibly because the casein is denatured). I used to take an enzyme tablet when dining out and this worked but these seem to be no longer available (Prolactyzme forte).

@joytis1894

4w↑1

Zoe caters for coeliacs now? when i tried to apply to use ut in 2023 they said theyre not advanced enough for gut conditions like coeliac so I couldnt use it.

Coeliac disease damages the intestinal lining/mucosa, and this is where dao is produced so if your intestinal lining/villi is damaged then you won't be able to produce dao efficiently. Also coeliac is genetic and so its possible genetic lack of DAO is also a cause. Im a coeliac and have genetic lack of dao after doing a genetic test. So if youre not super strict with your Gluten free diet and cross contamination, then your gut is constantly being damaged. So we actually have histamine intolerance before we are diagnosed coeliacs!

If histamine is the trigger, mind that your ´chronic sinusitis´ may in fact be misdiagnosed cluster headache.

Medicines exist that when taken at the right time have the power to immediately counter the headache.

I would suggest research in oxalate poisoning /dumping
Also I believe DAO can be affected by Cibo and Lyme disease
Peas low in oxalates
Beans high in oxalates

I started having allergies after I immigrated to the US. Before that, in Europe, no issues beside an allergy to nickel. Now, I'm allergic to a lot of different things. I get hives on my hands and, newly, eczema, psoriasis like rash, and dermatographic urticaria. That makes me wonder if that has something to do with the food I eat (I cook everything and have limited processed foods). I also have been diagnosed with erosive OA, inflammatory uncommon subtype of OA. It is triggered by stress in my case. Last week I had a relapse. I thought I'd try to take antihistamine. My pain instantly went from a 6 to 1 and even 0 sometimes.

Interesting no probiotics mention. Probiotics have helped me a lot with my bloating and skin rash issues. I think leaky gut was my issue also.
