Spirulina's Mechanism in Reducing Rhinitis
1:41:18 - 1:53:50 (12:32)
Spirulina has been found to inhibit the formation and activity of mast cells, reduce inflammatory cytokines, and improve other symptoms associated with rhinitis, by delivering dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine, larger amounts of immune cells can be deployed.

Over-the-counter medications that focus on the epinephrine system can interfere with sleep, cause dehydration, and make people feel lightheaded and jittery.

Summary
Over-the-counter medications that focus on the epinephrine system can interfere with sleep, cause dehydration, and make people feel lightheaded and jittery. Instead, deploying larger amounts of immune cells by using dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine may be a better choice to improve immune system function.

Research has shown that spirulina can inhibit the formation and activity of histaminergic mast cells, which in turn send out cytokine signals that recruit certain cells of the immune system.

Summary
Research has shown that spirulina can inhibit the formation and activity of histaminergic mast cells, which in turn send out cytokine signals that recruit certain cells of the immune system. This mechanism ultimately leads to the reduction of rhinitis symptoms such as nasal obstruction and inflammation.

Alternative therapies should have a logical mechanism and framework for their effectiveness, rather than just anecdotal evidence.

Summary
Alternative therapies should have a logical mechanism and framework for their effectiveness, rather than just anecdotal evidence. Spirulina, for example, can have side effects for people with a rare genetic disorder called PKU.

A study found evidence that electroacupuncture stimulate the vagal adrenal reflex and can lead to the release of norepinephrine, noradrenaline, adrenaline, and dopamine, which are the body's natural anti-inflammatory substances.
