Dr Ron I have a question - Jenni

[Guest guest]

Hi Jenni....It's interesting that you mention the dairy thing. I've been slowly

moving to a more vegan eating style lately because I don't like all the bad

stuff I've been reading about dairy. I've never been much of a milk drinker.

In fact, when I was a baby, my mother gave me cow's milk in my bottle and I

would get violently ill. The funny thing was that she didn't make the

connection that it was the milk making me sick. That was the very early '70s

and breastfeeding was NOT looked upon as being good back then. How sad!!! So I

was sick a lot as a child.

 

I have nearly eliminated dairy from my diet. The thing I'm having the hardest

time giving up is cheese. I've cut it down a lot but haven't given it up yet.

I try to stick to mostly goat cheese, but I have to find a good replacement for

mozzerella.

 

I think my sinuses are starting to get better. I seem to get sinus problems

quite often and I hate to take a lot of antibiotics. I did that for a while I

was getting so many sinus infections. But I found that if I take better care of

myself and eat better and get enough rest, my body seems to take care of it on

it's own. That's why I'm looking for natural remedy's to speed things along.

I do agree... now and then we need them.. as for sinus problems

however, I can attest to this personally...

one thing to avoid if you have any sort of sinus thang, is dairy.

 

I used to get sinus infections all the time.. every single year, and

they were very difficult to get rid of. I even had to have my

sinuses drained in high school (not a fun experience... but wow,

what a vivid memory!) UGH!

the thing is I don't get sinus infections any more..

 

I haven't had a sinus infection for three years! no antibiotics..

o me!

 

why? what is different?? you might not like to hear this, but

believe me.. or better yet, try for yourself...

 

since going vegan I have not had the sinus problems that I had as a

dairy drinker.

 

I have heard this from many vegans... even heard once a story of a

young kid who was going to need tubes to drain his ears... the mom

put the kid off dairy and within a week the ears were no longer

needing tubes.

 

so.. if you are having any sinus problems, I highly suggest you try

for yourself.. cut the dairy.. or at least cut back... it is worth

trying =)
