See book keywords and concepts |  Quercetin and others are effective inhibitors of the release of histamine induced by various agents. They inhibit a number of stages of inflammation including granulation tissue formation in chronic arthritis (Middleton and Drzewiecki
1984). Flavonoids offer the advantage of a high margin of safety and lack of side effects such as ulcerogenicity over the classical antiinflammatory drugs.
Diseases associated with increased permeability of blood capillaries include diabetes, chronic venous insufficiency, haemorrhoids, scurvy, varicose ulcers and bruising. |

The florets should be compact and uniformly green. Varieties with a purple or bluish-green cast are higher in beta-carotene than the green. Bright color is an indication of nutritional quality. |

"Quercetin, one of a class of nutrients called bioflavonoids, is more effective than anti-allergy eyedrops in stopping the symptoms of conjunctivitis," says Dr. Paul. He recommends starting with 1,000 milligrams, then increasing the dosage by 1,000 milligrams a day (to a maximum of 5,000 milligrams) until your symptoms are under control.

See book keywords and concepts |  Onions and garlic are rich sources of the potent anti-cancer bioflavonoid quercetin.56 One onion daily serves as a protection against malignant cell growth, and cooking does not destroy the effectiveness of quercetin. Garlic also contains large quantities of antiviral, antibiotic, and antifungal/anti-yeast compounds such as allicin.57-58 Thus it is especially useful in the treatment of cancer with concurrent Candida proliferation. Garlic compounds also appear to be effective against leukemia. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The proposition outlined above has been challenged following recent investigations, the results showing that higher levels of dietary quercetin were absorbed by ileostomy patients as glycosides from the small intestine.
Therapeutics
Experiments have proven flavonoids affect the heart and circulatory system and strengthen the capillaries. They are often referred to as 'biological stress modifiers' since they serve as protection against environmental stress (Middleton 1988). They are also known to have synergistic effects with ascorbic acid. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Two well-known bioflavonoids are rutin and quercetin.
Another important nutrient group is the carotenoids that form the yellow, orange, and red colors in flowers and fruits. Best known among these is beta-carotene. Even more important for healthy eyes and especially to protect the retina to prevent blindness from macular degeneration are lutein and zeaxan-thin. These two are found in spinach, lettuce, broccoli, peas, and corn. Lycopene appears to protect the health of the prostate gland; studies have found it protective against exercise-induced asthma. | | The best known members of this group are quercetin and rutin; rutin is found in concentrated form in dried buckwheat leaves and flowers.
Choline and Inositol: These two are important for the absorption and metabolism of fats and cholesterol, for the synthesis of lecithin, for proper liver and gallbladder function, and for the formation and function of the brain and nerves (transmission of nerve impulses). |

See book keywords and concepts |  The ingredients responsible for this action include mustard oils and quercetin. You can find quercetin, an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant substance, sold as a dietary supplement,- follow the package directions for dosage. You can also include lots of onions in your diet. And don't forget onion's cousin, garlic. It also possesses anti-inflammatory, immune-stimulating, and antimicrobial properties. Typical dosage: up to three 500- to 600-milligram capsules per day,- look for products that contain at least 5,000 micrograms of al-licin in a daily dose. | | Foods rich in the bioflavonoid quercetin include onions, garlic, and cayenne peppers. The recommended dose of vitamin C is 2,000 to 3,000 milligrams per day in divided doses; for quercetin, it's 500 milligrams two or three times per day.
þ Omega-3 fatty acids. Abundant in flaxseed, flaxseed oil, and cold-water fish (salmon, herring, mackerel, and others), these acids can affect chemical pathways in the body in a way that eases allergy symptoms. Gamma-linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid contained in evening primrose, borage, and black currant seed oils, has a similar effect. | | And bee propolis, which contains quercetin, worked better against herpes simplex type 1 than quercetin alone in a study. You can look for these ingredients either separately or together in manufactured topical products.
þ The amino acid lysine combats the herpes virus. Because the virus requires arginine, another amino acid, to replicate itself, a diet high in lysine and low in arginine might, in theory, help prevent herpes. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Studies have linked high quercetin intake with lower risk of heart disease. quercetin may also help to prevent eye cataracts and hay fever as it has antihistamine properties.
Green tea (the unfermented form of black tea) contains catechins, the antioxidant effects of which may include the slowing down of the aging process as well as protecting the circulatory system from damage. |
James A. Duke, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Brown, papery onion skins are rich in quercetin, one of nature's most potent anti-inflammatory compounds. The next time you make a vegetable or bean soup or a tomato sauce, add onion skins and let them simmer to extract some of the quercetin. Remove the onion skins before eating the dish.

Francisco, M.D. Contreras
See book keywords and concepts | | Red and yellow - not white - onions contain an incredible amount of quercetin -10% or more of their dry weight. Various lab studies reveal that quercetin unleashes a one-two punch against cancer, it blocks cell changes that invite cancer and, if a tumor has already started, it stops the spread of malignant cells.
Cassava, bitter almonds, apricot pits, lentils, millet, beans and sweet potatoes all contain a tremendously beneficial phytochemical, Amygdalin, also called vitamin B17, which is the crown jewel in the extrinsic nutritional defense mechanism against cancer. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Folts believes that quercetin, one of the flavonoids found in red wine, grape juice and many fruits and vegetables, makes platelets less "sticky" and less likely to form clots.
Flavonoids like quercetin may also be the key to understanding the so-called French Paradox—the fact that the croissant- and pate-loving French have one-third the heart attack rate of Americans, despite the fact that they eat more saturated fat. "It could be the flavonoids in the wine that the French drink," Dr. Folts says. "And our research has found that you don't have to drink wine to get the benefits. |

Consume foods and beverages that are high in the anti-allergy antiinflammatory, antioxidant bioflavonoid quercetin; these include apples, green and black teas (but not coffee], red and yellow onions (but not white onions), and red wine (but not white wine or beer). High quercetin dietary intake reduces the risk of premature death from all common causes.

See book keywords and concepts |  I usually suggest doses of 400 mg of quercetin twice per day for allergic patients and those at risk of cataract. Often, they need to increase the dose to 1200 or 1600 mg per day for asthma or nonresponsive allergy symptoms. The product I use contains 400 mg of quercetin, mixed with the enzyme bromelain to help enhance its absorption.
Ginkgo biloba
Ginkgo biloba extract comes from the leaf of the ancient tree of the same name. The extract contains terpene substances, known as ginkgolides and bilobalides, which improve circulation to the brain in patients with hardening of the arteries. |
Steven G. Pratt, M.D. and Kathy Matthews
See book keywords and concepts |  Berries, especially cranberries, are a rich source of the flavonoid quercetin, which has been shown to possess significant anti-inflammatory properties. A recent article on the flavonoids (a class of polyphenols in berries and grapes) concluded, "Although there is still much to be learned, there are indications that the scientific approach may reaffirm the basis for many of the remedies known from traditional therapeutic use of grapes and berry products in folk medicine."
THE BENEFITS OF BERRIES
