Runaway Sinus!


Its spring and summer is just around the corner. You know what comes with spring, right? Allergies and then respiratory infections! The respiratory tract consists of the nose, sinus and lungs. Chronic sinusitis is the most common respiratory disease. It wasn’t always the case. But in the past 41 years it’s become much more common.

It comes with annoying chronic postnasal drip that causes coughing and throat clearing, congestion and sometimes facial pain. This is because when a mucous membrane is inflamed it secretes more mucous and swells.

In a Landmark Study done at Mayo Clinic they concluded that all cases of chronic sinusitis were an immune dysfunction caused by fungus.

So you see, fungal issues are not just about the gut. Sinus issues and infections tend to come with overgrowth in the gut.

Did you know that a good garlic complex covers a lot of territory? It’s antifungal and antibacterial. It also helps with congestion and the inflammation that comes with this. It will work on the gut and sinus at the same time. Not all garlic supplements are good though. They are often rancid after sitting on shelves. Want to know what I recommend? Reach out!

Using some immune system nutrients, to help pull the immune system up is a good idea, too.…. There are several to choose from. I am happy to guide.

Diet? Staying off gluten, dairy and sugar/refined carbs helps to not promote the problem while you work on it.
