Need some advice on my protocol...

[Guest guest]

I've been sort of doing the same thing for a long time now and I feel

like it's time to make some changes. I have gotten better to a point

but hit a wall about 6 months ago. I know the implants were the main

wall that I hit. Now that they are out though, I think I need to

make some changes with what I'm doing. I'm just kind of confused as

to what to do next. I've done SO much research on all this stuff

over the past 2 years that my head is spinning! :oO

I'm hoping some of you knowledgable ladies can give me a little

direction.

Here are the symptoms I'm still experiencing:

-Headaches (usually feel like sinus headaches)

-Occasional Mild dizziness or off-balance feeling

-Nasal congestion

-Ears feel weird like they tickle or have something in them,

sometimes they hurt

-Gas/bloating/gurgling/cramping

-I " go " regularly and usually have soft stools, but still have to

strain most of the time, it's like my bowel muscles are lazy or

something?

-Hemorrhoids (they don't hurt but I've had them for 11 years!)

-Fatigue (not as bad as it used to be, though)

-Have many days where I just feel " blah "

-Occasional brain fog

-Hands and sometimes feet get hot and red and swell, usually in the

evenings or after I've been active or gotten warm

-Swollen glands in neck, sometimes hurt

Ok, that's all I can think of for now. Here's what I'm doing at this

point:

Diet - I eat healthy...mostly sprouted breads or whole grain, fresh

or frozen veggies, fruit, kefir, greek yogurt, lean meats, whole

grain pasta, brown rice, etc. But I don't completely avoid sweets.

I usually will have 1 small treat each day, I try to limit it to less

than 10gr sugar and try to have something homemade or " healthy " like

dark chocolate. I also use jam and sweeten my coffee w/agave nectar.

I use raw honey in my yogurt... Oh and I drink only water, a little

coffee and herbal tea.

Supplements - whoa baby, there's a lot! )

(I also use an olive leaf nasal spray)

Ok, if you made it all the way through that, thank you! ) So

here's what I'm wondering:

I've been on olive leaf for a year (yep a year!). I've been reading

lately about how yeast can become resistant to an anti-fungal if it

is used for too long. I switched from OL to caprylic acid a few

months ago and my sinus pain flared up terribly. So I've been afraid

to stop using the OL. But since I'm not progressing, I'm afraid the

OL is just working to a certain point. I'm thinking I need to do

something different. I'm taking so much stuff I am reluctant to add

anything without discontinuing something else. I just started on the

Triphala hoping it will get my bowels moving a little

more " aggressively " . It is also a great detoxifier. Should I switch

from OL to CA? I've never tried oregano oil, either so that's an

option.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks so much for reading all this!
