Since Cytokine storms are a concern for individuals especially with a healthy immune system, I thought it would be a good idea to present the various methods, herbs, etc. that would be helpful. I have read some great posts on this topic in this forum. I'm not a professional in this area and from what I have read thus far certain herbs could work for some and not be good for others. I think a list with explanations will be helpful for everyone. Thanks

Cytokine=is an intercellular communication molecule produced by mainly T helper cells, and natural killer cells. They provide the immune system with "alarm system" signals that something foreign is invading our body..this taking place the body's>immune system activates our defenses, innate immune system and adaptive immune system, it is while in this process that the body produces a defense 10 times stronger in a human body- than a regular influenza type virus-----talking straight up now about the avian flu virus--- strong enough to produce an overwhelming response, literaly strong enough to produce death in an individual as we have been reading about. , as a result of this process our own regulatory immune sytem self-tolerance will become corrupted.

By the way, to date there has not been any immunoligst that I have known about, that can figure out how help the immune system maintain self tolerance with this virus.....

Resveratrol anti-inflammatory action confirmed
29/10/2004 - Resveratrol, the powerful antioxidant found in wine, and another polyphenol quercetin can act as novel anti-inflammatory agents, conclude UK researchers, although they question the value of offering resveratrol over the counter. The team from Imperial College London, England, confirmed resveratrol's broad anti-inflammatory action, and found potential for applications in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and possibly even arthritis. However they note that clinical preparation and delivery remain issues. Resveratrol from red wine has long been associated with the so-called ‘French Paradox', reflecting the low incidence of heart disease among the French despite their relatively high-fat diet. Found in the skins of red fruits such as grapes and plums, the polyphenol is being marketed as a supplement by some companies although it is known to present bioavailability issues. Lead researcher Louise Donnelly said the research group had "looked at the over-the-counter" versions of resveratrol and found that "it's not very pure and probably wouldn't be worth taking". The major bioavailability problem comes from the fact that the compound dissolves only in certain solvents, including alcohol, "and is cleared very rapidly in the liver," Donnelly said. The Imperial team did confirm however that the compound “exhibited anti-inflammatory mediator release from human airway epithelial cells." They write in the American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology that their study also excluded a number of potential mechanisms of action, including the oestrogen or glucocorticoid receptor. This means these agents might be beneficial in inflammatory diseases where glucocorticosteroids have proved to be ineffective, such as COPD, steroid-resistant asthma, and arthritis. http://www.nutraingredients.com/news/ng.asp?id=55760-resvera trol-anti-inflammatory |

Inhibition by red wine extract, resveratrol, of
cytokine release by alveolar macrophages in COPD Department of Thoracic Medicine, National Heart & Lung Institute, Imperial College London, London SW3 6LY, UK - Thorax 2004 Conclusions: Resveratrol inhibits inflammatory cytokine release from alveolar macrophages in COPD. Resveratrol or similar compounds may be effective pharmacotherapy for macrophage pathophysiology in COPD. http://thorax.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/abstract/58/11/942 |
