RE: Allergy Testing? / Help for Sinus Infections

[Guest guest]

Because I had chronic sinus infections, my doctor recommended using a Neti

Pot (nasal irrigation) and Xlear Nasal Wash (pronounced “clear”). You can

get these from a Health Food Store (not GNC or Vitamin World or anything in

a Mall – they don’t have them and have never heard of them).

The Neti pot is used to wash the nasal passages. He suggested using the

“recipe” for the cleansing solution and also adding a couple drops of

Colloidal Silver to the mixture. You can use this daily, if you want, but

his suggesting was a couple times a week in the beginning and then once a

week during the allergy season or whenever I was “exposed.” To show you

what they look like, here’s a website: http://www.netipot.org/

He also recommended Xlear (“clear”) with Xylitol, which is a nasal wash that

I use daily. It helps to keep anything from “sticking” to the inside of the

nasal passages. http://www.xlear.com <http://www.xlear.com/>

Xylitol Health Benefits:

1. Xylitol is one of bacteria's natural enemies. When certain harmful

bacteria enter the body, they attach to the membranes of the nose and

throat. They begin to culture and grow, causing infection and sickness.

When exposed to Xylitol (specifically Strep pneumo and H Flu), these harmful

bacteria lose their ability to adhere to infected membranes and are not able

to grow. Unlike most antibiotics, which kill the majority of bacteria and

leave the resistant " super bacteria " behind, Xylitol merely flushes harmful

bacteria away.

2. Significant dental benefits. These benefits have been confirmed in

numerous field studies conducted throughout the world and has lead to

official endorsements by the dental association in Finland, Norway, Sweden,

England, Ireland, Estonia and the Netherlands of products containing high

levels of this sweetener.

Xylitol has been clinically proven to:

Fight and lessen the occurrence of Inner Ear and Sinus Infection

Fight and Reduce Plaque

Fight Cavities

Reduces the secretion of Plaque Acids

Facilitate the Remineralization of Tooth Enamel

Xylitol is also:

Recommended by Dentists, Medical Doctors, Periodontists, Pediatricians and

many health organizations and health professionals worldwide.

Recommended as a sweetener for diabetics and people with hypoglycemia. It

has a LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX (7) and has little effect on blood sugar levels.

Recommended as a natural replacement for fluoride. Clinical studies show

that Xylitol helps reduce cavities up to 80%. It reduces plaque and allows

fluoride to more easily penetrate teeth.

[] Re: Allergy Testing?

I also went to an environmental allergist who was the first one to tell me

my problems

were most likely due to mold, and did I have any in my home or office? Which

of course

was yes, I was waiting for the contractor to come any day and start getting

rid of it.

He also did the testing, as well as a quite in depth history and exam, which

revealed a

sinus infection, quite likely due to fungal infection, called allergic

fungal sinusitis. I believe

the new numbers by Mayo Clinic are 98%? of all sinus infections are due to

fungus. Now

they are finding that it is possible that much asthma is fungal in origin

also.

I also take allergy antigens, but through a sublingual route, which is

working well. Also

diflucan for the sinus infection, and some supplements, which have helped to

restore my

system to functionality (vitamin deficiencies due to bad digestion from- you

guessed it-

more mold in my GI tract.) I am off most of them by now, as my deficiencies

have cleared

up, except for a couple of minerals.

I believe that most allergists are not trained to do anything more than the

drug companies

want them to- which is slanted to make them more money. The previous gains

in allergy

treatment from 75 years of study seems to have been abandoned, except by the

environmental group. The " Science " in medical science seems to be very

misplaced.
