Autoimmune conditions are extremely painful and difficult to treat. The body turns on itself, and attacks its own tissues. Every organ system in the human body is vulnerable to autoimmune diseases, chronic fatigue, arthritis and lupus are common examples. The US National Institutes of Health estimates that more than 80 human diseases have a major autoimmune component, and new diseases continue to be added to the list. (R1)
All autoimmune diseases share several common features: An imbalance in the immune system which results in inflammation. (R2)
The immune system is a collection of cells that "speak" to one another through chemical molecules (nitric oxide, cytokines and histamine) and work in close harmony to protect the body from the harmful effects of bacteria, viruses, parasites and environmental toxins. (14, R3)
These chemicals must stay under tight control because too much or too little or an imbalance causes cells to aggressively attack healthy body tissue. For example, when the joints are under attack the result is autoimmune arthritis, and the skin and the kidneys are primary targets in lupus. (14)
A flood of inflammation destroys tissues in the target organs first, and then increases throughout the whole body, leading to damage in other areas of the body.
Conventional medicine uses drugs that kill off the rapidly-reproducing inflammatory cells, and newer drugs that neutralize inflammatory cytokines. The main problem with these treatments is they focus on immunosuppression, which may lower the inflammation but can lead to many other health problems. By focusing only on reducing inflammation, rather than on rebalancing the entire system, these drugs put the patient at increased risk of new diseases. (14, R5)
According to scientific data, this dual-action mechanism is precisely how Flavay® works to reduce inflammation and quench free radicals.
Studies show Flavay® strengthens immunity by protecting the existing immune components from their own chemicals. White blood cells use free radicals to destroy bacteria. When white blood cells over-produce free radicals, white blood cells start to destroy themselves. Flavay® allows the bacteria to be killed while standing by to protect the white blood cells against any excess of free radicals. (298)
Studies at the University of Arizona show that Flavay® can maintain healthy immune system function by restoring cytokine imbalances and restoring white blood cell activity. (14)
Natural killer cell cytotoxicity increases with Flavay® treatment in studies. Flavay® acts as a free radical scavenger, lowers histamine levels, and protects against vascular permeability which is important in protecting and modulating immune systems. Immune cell activity was found to be restored or increased with Flavay®. (298)
Flavay® is patented for neutralizing peroxynitrate. Flavay reduces the amount of superoxide available which makes the peroxynitrate, and helps to regulate the nitric oxide production so that it stays in balance. (53,261,265,302,343,344,361,362,419,421,436,437,438)
Other antioxidants may help, but researchers found that even when the immune system was barely working, Flavay® brought it back. Antioxidants work as a network (not independently) inside the cells and human clinical studies show taking Flavay® significantly increases total intracellular serum antioxidant activity.

I'm now in my 14th month of no bacteria in my lungs since starting Flavay. Prior to that I had 13 episodes of various bacteria cultures reinvading after an antibiotic had killed off a culture - this over a 25 month period. —Mr. Bill F.*
I have lupus and taking Flavay enables me to move. I'm not able to do without it. —Ms. L.B.*
Personally, I can attest to the fact that Flavay keeps me healthy. When everyone else is suffering with colds and sinus infections regularly, I do not. —Ms T.M.*
Sinus doctors, infectious disease specialists and others have been called in, all to no avail. I discovered Flavay and began its use about five days after the last treatment with antibiotics... I have been on Flavay for about four months now and the bacteria HAVE NOT RETURNED!! What western medical science could not do, Flavay has accomplished. I am free of lung infection for the first time in years! Apparently, the sinuses have been impacted for much longer than that. Thank you Flavay! There have other health improvements as well but the bronchial issue is the life changer. —Mr. Bill F.*

I have not had a cold/sinus problems for years and years of taking Flavay. I haven't had my regular dose of Flavay for at least two months because I messed up my ordering. Today I have to go to the doctor for a sinus infection. Never again will I go without my Flavay. —Ms. T.M.*
I've taken a lot of other antioxidants and Flavay is the best all-around antioxidant, better than all the other new antioxidants. I can really feel the difference with Flavay. —Mr. E.D.*
I have used Flavay and Flavay Plus for almost a month and I really have not felt this healthy for so long. Fantastic energy and better overall. I have ms (small letters intentional, I hate it) and am feeling better even at work, people have commented my skin is better than it has ever been. I have great energy, it is incredible. —Mr. G.S.*
I stopped taking it (Flavay and Flavay Plus) because I was busy and travelling, for about a month or so and I started feeling not good again so I said, let me start taking Flavay (and Flavay Plus) again and now I’m sleeping better and feeling better so now I don’t miss taking it. —Ms. S.H.*
