Guest guest Posted August 31, 2001 Report Share Posted August 31, 2001 For any kind of chronic disease, you *must* find the cause and treat that. To throw a few herbs or drugs at a symptom only drives it deaper into the system and it must find other avenues of " escape " . A full body cleanse is the first place I would start, and I'd recommend colloidal silver and possibly olive leaf extract to rid the body of unwanted bacteria and virus.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2001 Report Share Posted August 31, 2001 I would also say you need to do some cleansing. You wont find a herb or single thing to help, you need an overhaul! And a good review of your diet. Long term use of antibiotics etc really deplete your immune system. But I would think while you were cleansing some good echinacea could help. It wont happen overnight but you can get well again. love Peela --- Bukola S Akintola <bukkystars wrote: > Dear friends, > I have benefited very much from the various advice > on treating sinus infection.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2001 Report Share Posted September 1, 2001 When your nose runs it is expelling toxins from the body. I have found that when I am toxic I get sinus troubles and all that fun stuff. I am at the beginning of a total body cleanse again right now, maybe this will help you in the long run to do the same.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2001 Report Share Posted September 1, 2001 When there is a chronic lung problem, my first instinct is to ask about body type. This is from Ayurvedic medicine, where it is fairly well established that one particular body type is more prone to lung infections. If that's the case, then dietary changes are supposed to help a lot. The other source of chronic lung problems is environmental. There are many chemicals and fungi that can cause this. Whenever any condition is chronic, it's a good idea to have both the home and workplace checked by an environmental professional.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 The body type tending toward mucous conditions, lung and sinusitis problems, is kapha. However, any body type can get kapha out of balance. Kapha predominates in stocky, solid people who tend to put on weight easily, who like to sleep long hours, who usually have oily skin, etc. The balance to clear excess kapha is cleansing, hot water with dry ginger, dry light foods and raw foods, lots of exercise, little or no dairy, spicy foods to stimulate circulation. However, it still comes down to cleansing, and I would do that. love Peela --- sindea5 <sindea wrote: > HI there- > what body type is it that tends towards chronic lung > problems?

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 Peela, I have to disagree..... I am not stocky, like sleeping long hours, nor do I have oily skin, (dry side) The only part that would be correct for me is the tendency to put on weight fairly easily.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 For the little that I understand Ayerveda, I'll try to explain for your reply: Vata, Pita, and Kapha are present in everyone, though, it is their belief that one is predominant; in other words you may be a Vata type, but when your doshas get out of balance (in this case, the Kapha gets too strong), you'll lean towards the Kapha " ways " (ie. oily skin, weight gain, etc.). But, just like with astrology (for those who believe), you may be a Capricorn, but very little of the description fits you (and likewise, when they describe a Capricorn, there's more than 2 or 3 types of Capricorns - on the cusp with Sagitarius, or Aquarius, and straight up Capricorn) to a tee! When you get back in balance with your doshas, then you will have traits of all 3, but your normal dosha will predominate! Someone correct me if I'm wrong w/o getting too technical, as I was trying to keep it fairly simple. Steve ----------------------------- Peela, I have to disagree.....

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2001 Report Share Posted September 4, 2001 Yes, generally one of the three is predominant in each person. Occasionally you will run into someone who does not express one or another primarily, and there seem to be special remedies for those people. Wish i knew more about that. But i have found the general three types to be a workable framework for prescribing nutrition and exercise programs.
