All Autoimmune disorders(Alopecia etc) have a dysfunctional cytokine reaction component to it
For the purposes of inhibiting ACE and reducing cytokines, the following foods and compounds seem to be the best choices:
• Green tea (ACE inhibitor, reduces cytokines)
• Black tea (ACE inhibitor, reduces cytokines)
• Quercetin (possible ACE inhibitor, reduces cytokines)
• Pomegranate juice (ACE inhibitor)
• Red wine (ACE inhibitor)
• Turmeric (reduces cytokines)
• Black pepper (reduces cytokines)
• Raw crushed garlic (reduces cytokines)
• Red palm oil (reduces cytokines)
• Vitamin E (reduces cytokines)careful with this if you have thin blood
• Coconut oil (reduces cytokines)
• Stingling nettle root/leaf ( really improved the health of my nails quickly)
• Chinese skullcap root
ghee
The following foods, while beneficial in many other ways, may not be a good idea in terms of reducing cytokine levels:
• Olive oil (may increase cytokines)
• Fish oil (may increase cytokines)
• Chocolate (ACE inhibitor, increases cytokines)
