Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hello all, I have a retracing question. I " think " I am finally having one. I did have what probably was one last year at this time (24 hrs of flu accompanied with bad taste in my mouth like antibiotics from being treated for giardia many years ago). This time I am retracing a sinus infection. I am pretty sure it is retracing since it is going backwards. Got the killer headache first and then the runny nose/sneezing/cold. My retracing does not seem to be going back in any kind of order though as this should have been one of the first ailments dealt with. I used to get a sinus infection with every cold I got. Usually 2-3 a year for the last 13 yrs. I have been on your diet since June 2009. I think my retracing was slowed/delayed because I continue to battle small cheats. However, starting in Jan. have been on track pretty good...so now I think the retracing is finally coming. My question is...since I have had so many sinus infections in the past over many years...do I retrace them individually or all at once? I have had the headache (slight) for a week now which as of yesterday got VERY bad and started with the runny nose etc. I am guessing it may last a while, huh? thanks, Heidi F.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 ***thank-you...that makes sense Bee. I have noticed that when I first started the diet my jaw hurt terribly for over two weeks and I believe I even asked you about this at one time. And now with the sinus issues it is here again (very badly)so it must need to be healed in some way. I remember, a long time ago, my fist sinus infection lasting about 6 months before I went to the doctor and with every one after they just got worse and worse so that every cold I got no matter how mild resulted in a bad sinus infection. I started with amoxicillin, that quit working, and went to something really strong before I ended up on the dysbiosis nightmare that eventually brought me here. So I must have something going on in there that needs serious healing. I am a bit afraid of them (sinus infections)actually because I remember the pain and needing those antibiotics to feel better. So, I guess I was needing a bit of reassurance from others who have gone through them. thanks for your help and devotion to us all. I know I would have a hard time on my own if it wasn't for you and everyone here. Heidi > > > > Hello all, > > I have a retracing question. I " think " I am finally having one.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hi and all, So glad I came across this post. I was just going to write in because I had a really bad chest cold that then became a head cold and seemed to clear after a week. It's funny though, because then after a week of being well, I started coughing up gross mucous again and have been coughing it up every day since! I feel totally fine though, despite the cough and am so glad my body is finally working and detoxing like it should! I thought I saw in one of Bee's posts that when the body is strong enough because of taking good fats, the liver will detox through the lungs. This is very interesting. Bee, can you explain that? Thanks! > > > > +++Hi Heidi, > > > > Your body doesn't just get sinus issues on this program because it is retracing past symptoms, because it can also create them currently in order to detoxify itself.

Bee, can you explain that? +++Hi , When your body becomes strong enough it detoxifies more efficiently, but it doesn't only detox through the lungs. There are many other organs and areas also involved, i.e. the kidneys, skin, lymphatic system, and areas that have mucus membranes such as the intestines, genitals, mouth, ears, eyes, nose, sinuses, etc. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hello Heidi, I e-mailed a response to you on the board about 20 minutes or so ago and it didn't show up so I'll try again here. I too have gone through years of so called sinus " infections " with antibiotics. Through the years, I only became more ill including chronic fatigue. The sinus issues and fatigue were the main reason I started the diet. I've been on the diet 2 years and 3 months. I've come to learn that sinus infections are really just one of the ways the body can detoxify itself. The color of mucus depends on the heaviness of the toxins i.e. green being the worst, clear being the lightest. My proof of this was when I first went on Bee's diet way too fast (all the oils etc). I spent a week and a half on the couch exhausted with tons of toxins coming out through my sinus's. Once I lowered everything (to go slowly), it stopped. I've had two more major sinus detoxification events since and occasional small ones here and there. Recently I spent an hour and an half in an newly remodeled office with new carpet (and it's glue). I left with a headache and inflamed sinuses. Interestingly, the next morning I had sinus discharge which was yellow. This is evidence that my body is getting healthy and is able to detoxify rather quickly. So hang in there. It's tough but thankfully your body is cleaning things up.
