Never Bet Against Occam

"Never Bet Against Occam" by Dr. Lawrence Afrin explores Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), a condition that has been identified as a common underlying cause in many individuals suffering from chronic multisystem inflammatory illnesses. The book argues that MCAS is far more prevalent than previously known mast cell diseases like mastocytosis. Dr. Afrin shares his experiences diagnosing MCAS, highlighting that many patients show significant improvement once properly diagnosed and treated. He emphasizes that a thorough understanding of MCAS can provide relief and a unifying diagnosis for many who have been misdiagnosed with psychological conditions. Dr. Afrin's book is a resource aimed at educating both patients and healthcare professionals on the complexities and potential treatment pathways for MCAS.
