What kind of inflammation?

Ian Marber has a good portion on it in his book "Healing foods for mind and body".

Here is some of what he says:

Black currants, kiwi, cherries and rosehips are good sources of vitamin c - a natural antihistamine.

Quercetin is considered a good anti-inflammatory agent. it is found in blue-green algae such as spirulina and kelp. (I think you can also find it in small quantaties in cherries and red onions).

Ginger root is also a good natural anti-histamine.

I believe that papaya (paw-paw) and pineapple are supposed to be good

I'll add raw meat, raw dairy and raw egg. I 'naturally' am very inflamed in many of my body tissues. I used to use the foods on the list, they weren't enough after a time, my inflammation persisted. The RAF's keep my inflammations away.
