Quercetin for the Common Cold, Allergies, & Lung Problems

Last month the American Thoracic Society held its annual International Conference in New Orleans. There were four papers presented demonstrating the power of quercetin to combat the common cold, reduce airway allergic responses, and even benefit individuals with serious lung problems such as COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).

Quercetin: A Rising Star for Nerves, Immunity, and Metabolism

Quercetin is a common flavonoid found in many fresh fruits and vegetables. It has been in widespread use in the dietary supplement industry for the past two decades due to its natural anti-histamine properties. New research is dramatically expanding our understanding of this nutrient, including its nervous system support, immune support, and weight management properties.

How Stress Can Turn Germs Hostile

It has long been known that stress has a direct immuno-suppressive effect. New research is demonstrating another angle on this issue; stress can turn on gene switches in bacteria that turns them from harmless to hostile.

A Healthy Lymph System is Vital for Flu Fighting Immunity

The healthy function of your lymphatic system is required for an optimal immune response. Millions of Americans struggle with a sluggish and stagnant lymph system. In addition to its immune-related chores, the lymph system is also tasked with trash removal and the absorption and transport of fat. The speed with which you mount an immune response, can be drastically impaired by poor lymph function. It is worthwhile to understand how well your own lymph system is working.

Quercetin Helps Correct Fatty Liver and Poor Metabolism

A new animal study with quercetin shows that the nutrient can help undo damage caused by a high fat, high cholesterol, and high sugar diet. Not only was fatty liver accumulation reversed, but many factors involved with metabolism were improved including inflammation status, insulin resistance, and problems with lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides).

Apple Polyphenols (Quercetin) for Extended Lifespan

It looks like resveratrol is going to get some serious anti-aging competition from quercetin. A new experiment with fruit flies shows that apple polyphenols (primarily quercetin) extend the lifespan of fruit flies by 10%.

How to Manage Inflammation for Better Heart Valve Health

The recent news headlines of young athletes dying during competition is placing the spotlight on a problem that mostly affects older Americans. The aortic value controls the rate of blood leaving your heart, flowing into your aorta and then around your body. When that valve narrows then it malfunctions. A new study shows that a specific type of inflammation plays a key role in the deterioration of the valve.

The Multiple Pieces of the Asthma Puzzle

Asthma is now at epidemic levels in the U.S., affecting up to 8% of the population. The Western medicine model that asthma is caused by an environmental exposure that triggers an excess immune response is true to a degree – but represents only a small slice of the pie. Clinging to that narrow understanding of asthma, and dispensing drugs accordingly, continues to be the gold standard of Western medical care. It is a travesty that the Western medical profession insists on treating a huge public health problem with a theory now relegated to the Stone Age. This shouldn’t surprise anyone. As soon as you start to understand the modern science on the subject, then one of the first thing you realize is that Western medicine itself has helped cause this epidemic with their overuse of antibiotics.

Quercetin and Resveratrol Help Combat Thyroid Cancer

Thyroid cancer is one cancer on the rise in the U.S., as the thyroid gland is sensitive to chemicals from environmental pollution and digestive tract imbalance. The most aggressive forms of thyroid cancer cause the thyroid gland to lose its identity and no longer produce properly or respond to thyroid hormone signaling. New cell studies show that resveratrol and quercetin can inhibit abnormal changes to thyroid tissue while shrinking tumors – an ability not possessed by any drug.
