Sinus Trouble Again

I quite using my neti-pot for a couple of weeks.....I felt fine...... not smart! AND I ran out of bee pollen.........guess what? I am currently doctoring cold-like symptoms. It started with a scratchy throat; graduated to my larynx (full throat); started sneezing and now have a runny nose and full ears......sound familiar? I really dislike the full ear stage. I have TMJ, as well, so this adds insult to injury. Anyway, because of my long standing sinus/allergy history, these symptoms are alarming. A full blown sinus infection can last one to two months- even when taking an antibiotic, decongestant and steroids. YIKES! So where does all of this lead......to another experiment........I am using the neti-pot with the following combination: a pinch of baking soda, a cupful of hydrogen-peroxide and two-thirds cup of water. The cleansing of the sinuses will occur three time a day. In addition, I am returning to my morning regimen of bee pollen capsules and decreasing dairy products. This synergistic approach should minimize the symptoms in three to four days. We'll see. It worked before so I am hopeful that it will work again. I promise to document the outcome truthfully!

Sinus Infections

Colds and Allergy Sufferers
Being a teacher constantly exposes me to various viruses. As a virus takes hold, a sinus infection soon follows. Any two-week long virus has symtoms that are uncomfortable enough, AND THEN an infection takes on a personality of its own displaying more of the same symptoms with the addition of pain, pressure and plugging. BUT, I have finally discovered hope, healing and health through the use of a neti pot, a pinch of baking soda, a cap full of peroxide and warm water. Irrigate the sinuses with this concoction 2x per day with this recipe and "vwahla" the sinuses stay clear and the virus subsides with NO SINUS infection. Try it the next time and see for youself. I know it sounds "gross" and kind of weird but the results will astound you. Rhonda Crum-beehoneyhealthy.com
