Allergies and Inflammation

Allergies and Inflammation 

Eileen Renders

   Regardless of where we live, many of us suffer from Allergies or an Autoimmune disorder and seek a natural remedy and nutritional advice. As one who practiced Nutritional therapy and worked as a curious Health Researcher for many years, I humbly offer the following suggestions. However, it is always highly recommended that we seek the advice of our primary care physician before taking any vitamins, minerals, or supplements that may interact, and create unwanted side-effects due to a medication one may be taking.

   Quercetin has been medically reviewed by Kathy W. Warwick RDN, CDCES in an article written by Ryan Raman, MS, RD and updated February 9, 2023

   Quercetin may have health benefits for reducing inflammation and lowering one’s risk of developing certain diseases. Quercetin is a natural pigment found in many fruits.  Also, it is one of the most abundant antioxidants in the diet and plays a vital role in helping to combat free radical damage associated with chronic diseases.

   Other benefits associated with these fruit pigments are that they may assist in reducing inflammation, allergic responses, and blood pressure. The pigment found in Quercetin belongs to a group of compounds called flavonoids. These flavonoids are present in; Vegetables, grains, tea, wine, and vegetables.

   One study showed 50 women with rheumatoid arthritis, in an 8-week study, who took 500 mg. of Quercetin experienced significant reduction in morning stiffness, morning pain, and after-activity pain.

   There are several Studies, and all with beneficial effects that show much promise and may protect against degenerative brain disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

   Quercetin is often taken with Bromelain as they work well together to combat symptoms of allergies, and together help reduce inflammation. The National Institutes of Health also provides some research and benefits associated with Quercetin and Bromelain.

   Our Bible reiterates this information in Ezekiel 47:12 when Jesus says “Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit because the water from the sanctuary flows on them. The fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.”
