It's my impression that quercetin and particularly quercetin chalcone has the best evidence for inhibiting human mast cell activation at concentrations that are achievable in vivo, compared to all "mast-cell stabilizing drugs" and other flavanoids as well (including luteolin).
The free full text study comparing quercetin / quercetin chalcone / cromolyn sodium is illuminating: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3314669/. It's funny that Theoharides' name is on the study when it concludes that a patented water-soluble form of quercetin comes out on top (meaning he can't use it in his supplements, nor put it in olive kernel oil). It's only available from thorne in their quercetone product.
