pregnant and suffering nasal congestion

[Guest guest]

dear uhohkittycat (did the cat knock the milk over?)

 

your blood is probably too thick because of an imbalance of factors

that promotes coagulation, namely, pro-coagulant factors such as

thromboxane A2

these metabolites are produced as a result of inflammation, for

example, when the blood vessels are damaged

 

however, this pro-inflammatory state occurs when the body is deficient

in anti-inflammatory compounds, namely, omega 3 fatty acids (think of

inflammation as a yin-yang or agni/soma balance)

 

omega 3 fatty acids achieve clinical results that are comparable to

aspirin without actually killing platelets, which is what aspirin does

basically, the omega 3 fats inhibit the excess inflammation that

promotes thick blood

 

despite Dr. Bhate's comments, i think you should not drink your own

urine since you are pregnant (what trimester?) and may be experiencing

some degree of urine stasis increased stasis means increased likelihood

containing potentially harmful, infectious bacteria, which you should

not ingest

however, i am not an expert in auto-urine therapy, and neither practice

it nor recommend in for my patients

 

besides which, any benefit in drinking urine will not correct the

underlying problem, but the EFAs will

typical dose is 1000 mg of EPA and DHA daily - the latter is particular

helpful in ensuring the healthy development of your baby's brain, eyes

and nervous system, and should not be an optional nutrient

 

to correct the sinus congestion, strictly avoid dairy, flour and sugar

a simple tea such as P'au D'arco with mullein and ginger should be

helpful, 2-3x/day

its likely you have a system yeast infection, as most sinus infections

are actually fungal in origin

being pregnant increases your susceptibility to yeast

 

remember too, that pregnant women often get sinus congestion because

the influence of the maternal hormones tends to make mucus membranes

more boggy and congested - neti, steam inhalations, and aromatherapy

with eucaplytus etc can also be helpful - but the diet is key to reduce

excess kapha

So do you not believe in the diagnosis I have- antiphospholipid syndrome? Or

do you think it is the same to say that I have imbalance of factors that

promote coagulation? It has been told to me that the disorder is similar to

lupus, it's autoimmune. So I shouldn't start drinking my pee? What a relief!

I was taking a vitamin with heavy omega 3's but my MD told me to take

aspirin. I want this baby so bad and I'm in my 25 week so I am really trying

to get all the best info so I can best treat this. Thanks so much for your

help.

Peace,

Drisana
