Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 I try to avoid dairy but I find myself eating cheese here and there. It really is bad on my sinus situation.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 yes, it's FANTASTIC! After suffering from chronic sinus infections, having no sense of smell and hardly any sense of taste, being constantly bloated, running weird fevers, having constant headaches, suffering terrible mood swings worse than anything I've ever experienced, suffering debilitating depression, suffering extreme fatigue, chronic sinus drainage, not being able to breathe through my nose for weeks at a time and in general feeling MISERABLE for 4 years, I quit seeing doctors. I would not " just live with " feeling this crappy every day of my life. I wouldn't be put on another antibiotic and I wouldn't fill another RX for pain medication to disguise the pain. I wouldn't inhale one more steroid in hopes that it would start to help when it hadn't made a difference in years. I refused sinus surgery and I didn't have polyps. This book helped me get things in line and cure myself. Turns out I had a yeast overgrowth problem. I backed down a bit when pregnant and nursing, but my symptoms appeared again within a few weeks. I thought I could get through, but it turned into a year of misery, so I am back on the program. It's a lifestyle fix. There is a test in the book, 180 and above is " almost always a yeast problem " and I scored a 285 just last week. Yes, avoiding sugar and caffeine sucks, but I pick nasal function over coffee I can't taste anyday. What worked for me was the yeast protocol as listed in the book and daily allergy medication (I have to double up on Claritin, and chew instead of swallow). I still make some exceptions, such as birth control pills because having a 5th child right now isn't my idea of a fun time, but I do my best in the other areas and when on the program I go from feeling a crappy 2 of 10 (3 on a good day) to an 8 or so.
