Flavonoids for Sensitivities, Mito Energy, Detoxification
and Everything
Flavonoids are perhaps the most powerful antioxidants and often necessary to help with the most troublesome sensitivities like histamines, mast cell activation, and autoimmunity.
Sensitive conditions are not just separate problems that can be treated with a remedy, “take this for that.”
I suggest that sensitivities are a greater degree of the systemic problem of nutritional deficiencies relative to toxic load and infections that explains the full range of conditions and symptoms.
Sensitivities are a qualitatively different level of suffering, but do not demand another kind of root cause explanation.
When flavonoids work on sensitivities they work on deep systemic issues as antioxidants in mitochondria energy production while neutralizing toxins and even some pathogens.
This is supported by research that explains that flavonoids are “for everything.”
“In this review, we focused on mitochondria-mediated effects, but flavonoids seem to affect almost all cell signaling routes. Experimental and methodological issues make it more difficult to identify pathways on which flavonoids have no effect than to identify those on which flavonoids act.”
From the conclusion of this article that summarizes research on flavs and mitochondria: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32635481/
Mitochondria in cells produce energy for everything: all functions, organs and cells depend on mitochondria.
There are also other functions outside of cells like neutralizing toxins, which, in turn, spares electrons by neutralizing free radicals that would otherwise steal electrons from mitochondria.
Looked at his way, flavonoids are kind of a shut-gun approach to address everything that is simply broad enough to address the most difficult problems like sensitivities.
This I believe is due to the fact flavonoids are generally the strongest antioxidants, based on research and my own experience. I would put glutathione up there, too, but let’s not go on a tangent.
All the antioxidants work together to recycle each other since once they donate an electron they become a free radical themselves which can have a productive role in catalyzing other reactions as an oxidizer, or be recycled by gaining an electron back.
The antioxidant network according to University of California Researcher, Lester K Packard, consists of C, E, Glutathione, coQ10, and alpha lipoic acid.
Flavonoids like rutin play a major role in recycling vitamin C, which is the center of the antioxidant network because it plays a key role in regulating balance of fat and water soluble antioxidants.
In fact, he explained that the man who discovered vitamin C, Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, found it did not work without lemon juice and red pepper when treating fragile capillaries, like in bruising. He called this “vitamin P.” I’m not sure why, polyphenols?
C may be the frontline doing the work, but backing and recycling by flavonoids could play the larger role.
Packer explains how pine needles have only a small amount of vitamin C but were used by Canadian Natives with pine bark loaded with the flavonoid pycnogenol.
He found pycnogenol to be the most powerful antioxidant he tested in his lab.
Pycnogenol is an extract of pine bark, known through French maritime pine because someone researched and tested it.
Neither the French or the extraction is necessary as I found whole eaten white pine to work better, extract adds nothing but takes away. You don’t need expensive little bottles when you can get a pound of powder for 20$.
I have seen this whole pine back neutralize overnight heart pain from the sorcery medicine shots.
Now eat your sawdust.
Other flavonoids that are just as good are the OPCs oligomeric proanthocyanidins, like grape seed extract. The extraction is with alcohol of the whole seed to include the other antioxidants and nutrient so they can claim it is 95% polyphenols. Flavonoids are the most common form of polyphenol.
Popular flavonoids for sensitivities are: quercetin, rutin, and luteolin, which sounds like an instrument.
These are commonly derived from the flower buds of Japanese pagoda trees, sophora japonica.
The fruits I was focused on because they made me feel the best turned out to be the highest in flavonoids: berries, red grapes and apples. As well as cocoa and green tea extract.
Some flavonoids are associated with success in treating some symptoms so of course they are somewhat specialized but also overlapping and contribute to addressing root causes of nutrients versus toxicity and the overall electron levels necessary for mito functioning and circulation.
I can’t give any personal advice or product recommendations in social media comments but others can share what works for them.
