The quail egg is considered the animal-based product with the most balanced content of proteins, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.
It is five times smaller than a chicken egg, but it contains 5 times more phosphorus (very useful for the brain; phosphorus is especially essential for the body for healthy bones and teeth), 7 times more iron, 6 times more vitamin B1 (which plays a crucial role in growth and the proper functioning of the cardiovascular, digestive, and nervous systems), and 15 times more vitamin B2 (which helps protect the nervous system and supports the growth and repair of tissues). And above all, it contains no cholesterol!
An inexhaustible source of benefits for the body.
Studies on quail eggs are surprising given how many different indications have been studied. Let's say that the quail egg is, in this respect, a super nourishing food full of good nutrients.
But it is in the field of allergies that its decisive effect stands out most. In the 1960s, Dr. Truffier noticed that the breeders around him who treated themselves with quail egg courses saw some of their allergies gradually disappear.
He decided to look into the therapeutic properties of quail eggs and began a study on a large sample of patients. Over 8 years of work and research, he carried out 5,000 courses and achieved a 70% success rate in adults and 85% in children. He then published his "Therapeutic approach to allergic disease through quail egg ingestion."
Ovomucoid and ovoinhibitor, the key to the mystery.
It is in the albumen of the quail egg that we find ovomucoid, this powerful inhibitor of human trypsin, which plays such an important role in the allergic reaction.
In addition, quail eggs also contain a significant amount of ovoinhibitors, which have a powerful activity against elastase, which is involved in numerous conditions in humans, particularly in pulmonary emphysema and psoriasis.
Research on more than twelve different types of fowl has shown that it is in quail egg white that we find the highest level of ovomucoid and ovoinhibitors.
What the science says: allergies
Here is what published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context — these studies address material causes, while healing belongs to Allah.
Allergies
Nasal rinses with saline solution, reducing allergens (dust mites, dust) and certain nutrients (quercetin, omega-3, vitamin D) reduce allergy symptoms; plants used in traditional medicine were reviewed (Ther Clin Risk Manag, 2023) and black seed is being studied for its antiallergic action (Int J Mol Sci, 2024). Precaution: an allergy that causes facial swelling, difficulty breathing, or faintness is an emergency; asthma is treated with your doctor, and natural remedies are used alongside that care.
