It’s true. That’s another reason we can’t claim any supplement might help cure someone from certain illnesses, because when that said person goes back to eating garbage and filling his/her body with poisons and non foods and the person gets sick all over again, it becomes the supplement’s fault for not curing that person.

Sorry to hear you are feeling so miserable. I used to have the same thing. Lots of sinus infections, medicine doing NOTHING to help it. I was on so many antibiotics and the infection just never cleared up, in fact it just got worse and worse. I was so stuffed in my sinuses I couldn’t breathe at all. Trying to sleep when I couldn’t breathe through my nose was miserable and I had many sleepless nights. My head hurt all the time. I found out that I had a massive candida overload from all the antibiotics I had taken for sinus infections over the year and the candida made my sinus infect ...

This is scary to me. Sounds like the beginning of Gattaca. Soon people will be turned away from jobs because ”Aunt Sally” had cancer and the company won’t want someone with ”Aunt Sally’s” cancer link working there. Put aside the fact that cancers and diseases can be prevented or reversed with herbs and quality diet, this can still make way for bias against people whose relatives have this or that. This is a HUGE infringement on people’s privacy. But like the sheeple we are, you know people will line up to give this info freely. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090112/ap_on_he_me/med_ ...

Hmmmmm. Sounds to me like another attack on alternative medicines by the American Medical Association. Too bad they aren’t as likely to write columns on how conventional medicine causes strokes.

I’m all for an anti candida diet, but I believe you have to have at least ”some” good carbs. A guy here in our town was quite a bit overweight and he started a low carb diet that really worked. He started losing weight quite rapidly, so he figured if a low carb diet worked this quickly, then a no carb diet will REALLY work fantastically. He started a no carb diet similar to the one you are on now, all meats, no veggies-absolutely no carbs. He lost the weight, but his kidneys also shut down, and he was in the hospital for a while. Be very careful with such a strict diet. It’s terrible ...

I started out with oregano oil to knock down the candida in my body. It works great, but you are supposed to rotate them so your candida or fungi don’t adapt to it and make it ineffective. I also took olive leaf extract, garlic, and grapefruit seed extract (nutrabiotic tablets-you can also get liquid drops for the rinsing). These supplements combined with an anti-candida diet really made a huge difference. Bromelain really helped to reduce the swelling in the sinuses so they can drain. You can get these at just about any health store, and even some drug stores. Iherb.com has great pr ...

If you keep taking antibiotic and get no relief it’s probably a fungal infection rather than a bacterial infection. Antibiotics actually make you have more fungus/candida in the body. Get some Grapefruit seed extract and put a few drops of that and some baking soda in the salt water you are irrigating with. That should help also. I would also suggest cutting out all dairy as it thickens mucus and keeps it stagnating and in my case also induces swelling of my sinuses when I consume it. I had the same problem with my sinuses. Go to the doctor, keep getting antibiotics, none of them help ...

Hi Mima29, I have no answers on your x-rays. My problem was swelling of the sinuses. My doctor wanted to (his words) abuse the tissues inside my nasal cavity and once they were swollen up as big as they could get, cut away all the tissue that is swollen. Then when they heal and any leftover swelling would go away and I (theoretically) would then be able to breathe normally again. Extremely painful recovery and it just sounded very scary so I didn’t do it. My x-rays looked normal, except I had a small cyst and my doctor said that it wasn’t the cause of my stuffiness and chronic sinu ...

When I was fighting off my chronic sinus problems and first learned that candida was a problem of mine, I started an Atkins diet.
