Zyflamend curbs inflammation in a patient with asthma and bronchitis
In many e-Alerts I’ve told you about Zyflamend, an herbal formula that reduces inflammation by inhibiting COX-2, giving relief to patients with joint pain, and perhaps even reducing the growth of cancer cells.
But a note from an HSI member named Lillian shows that Zyflamend may be useful in treating a wide variety of health problems linked to inflammation.
Lillian: “Thanks for the information on Zyflamend. I have been using Zyflamend to treat my grandson’s asthma/bronchitis related symptoms. It has been very effective in reducing bronchial inflammation when taken at onset and during the above and for colds as well. In fact, when I began giving him one capsule daily, his immune system also improved. He has been symptom free now for several years and rarely does a cold settle into his lungs causing him to have to be on the albuterol breathing machine or in the ER where he is usually administered steroids. He is now 14 years old.
“Have there been any studies done in this area as well?”
A round of Google searches and a PubMed search turned up no studies that tested Zyflamend on colds, asthma, or bronchitis. In time, I expect we’ll see those studies, so I’ll keep an eye out. Meanwhile, you can find more detailed information about Zyflamend in the e-Alert “Herbal Cooling” (11/22/05).
