Clinical Applications
HistaShield Jr. is a great-tasting, chewable tablet that includes a targeted blend of flavonoids, antioxidants, proteolytic enzymes and botanicals designed to provide comprehensive support for children with seasonal challenges caused by common environmental allergens. HistaShield Jr. includes quercetin, a powerful flavonoid to support healthy histamine levels. It supplies bromelain to enhance the absorption of quercetin and to support mucosal tissue health and stinging nettles leaf to balance hyper-immune response. N-acetyl cysteine clears the airways by promoting normal viscosity of mucus. This unique nutritional combination safely promotes healthy nasal and sinus passages for children with elevated histamine and respiratory irritation.
Quercetin is a biologically active flavonoid antioxidant that is widely distributed in plants, oak trees, onions and tea leaves. Quercetin has strong antioxidant activity and has also been shown to support immune health by mediating the release of inflammatory compounds, including leukotrienes and prostaglandins. Quercetin is known for its ability to stabilize mast cells, which diminishes the release of histamine, the compound known to cause hypersensitivity reactions during seasonal changes.
Stinging Nettles Leaf commonly known as stinging nettles, is a plant that has been shown to balance immune response, specifically in the airways and nasal passages. Studies have shown that the extract of stinging nettles leaf balances several of inflammatory activities that affect respiratory health. In addition to controlling mast-cell degranulation, stinging nettles leaf controls prostaglandin formation and histamine action, thus contributing to a balanced inflammatory response.
Bromelain is a plant enzyme naturally found on the stem and fruit of the pineapple plant. Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme that aids in the breakdown of large protein complexes, including antigenic compounds. Bromelain has been shown to enhance the absorption of quercetin and to reduce circulating allergenic protein complexes associated with hyper-immune sensitivity and seasonal discomfort.
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is an amino acid precursor to one of the most important antioxidants in the body: glutathione. Both glutathione and NAC help reduce the viscosity of the mucus allowing for clearing of the airways and improved respiratory health.
Vitamin C cannot be synthesized by the human body, it is an essential nutrient that must be consumed in the diet. Among its numerous health-promoting properties, vitamin C supports the immune system and is also a potent antioxidant. When the body is under a significant amount of stress, vitamin C is excreted rapidly. Vitamin C has many immune boosting properties, but is distinctively beneficial for individuals with seasonal discomfort because of its ability to deactivate histamine.

Dr. Theresa and Mary Kattine are both phenomenal. I have had Chronic pain for over 25 years and these ladies have me feeling better than all the other treatments in a matter of weeks!! So grateful!!!Jennifer V.
The best I've seen in the Cincinnati area for helping many different issues with acupuncture, herbal medicine, detoxing and more. I've been seeing them for about 20 years. Took my son to them after he had to have spinal surgery for scoliosis that Childrens Hospital would do nothing about except watch it get worse.Rebecca S.
The doctors took my symptoms seriously and offered to run various tests they thought might help. They made the diagnosis that helped identify what was happening to me and why and treat the cause vs symptoms. I’d recommend them to anyone with “mystery symptoms” and I’d recommended them over self-diagnosis.Audrey K.
PLEASE seek out this amazing place. Their whole body approach also addresses the emotional impact of illness and lifestyle changes. Years ago, my parents went to see Dr. Amoils and I believe, it prolonged their lives. Five stars is not enough to express my satisfaction and gratitude.Susan M.
