Suzi / sinus vs. tetanus

[Guest guest]

Suzi –

Prior to stepping on the nail, I was

eating low carb, no white flour/sugar/processed food;

almost all fruits and vegetables (although a lot of the vegetables were cooked)

and protein in the form of organic/free range chicken, beef and eggs.  Very little dairy except for

organic butter, some cottage cheese, some yogurt.  I eat no dairy now except for organic butter.  I was a large Diet Rite drinker, but I quit

the soda cold turkey last Thanksgiving and haven’t drunk any since.  I don’t drink milk.  I used to drink a lot of herbal tea, but have

gotten away from the tea and am downing close to a gallon of water a day and

have been drinking that much since at least February of this year.  I drink water almost exclusively and it is

never tap water, it is bottled spring or distilled.  I do have a cup of herbal tea on my desk at

the moment and this is the first cup of hot tea I’ve made to drink in

weeks.  I don’t use artificial

sweeteners – I use Sweetleaf Stevia Plus.  All in

all, I eat much healthier than a lot of people I know.  I buy organic as much as possible.

I’m 44.  Well, that’s my chronological age but

mentally I’ve been stuck at 29 more years now than my Grandma was, LOL

Don’t have a neti

pot but I have a nasal bulb/syringe thingy and I used to be very, very faithful

to mix up a batch of warm water with a handful of sea salt in it and flush my

sinuses morning and night.  Weekends I would

flush them out multiple times a day, and the green gobs that would come out horrified

me.  I have been working so much overtime

the last 5 months that my life has not been my own and I got out of the habit

of the sinus flushing.  I definitely need

to start that regime back up because when I did do the salt water sinus flush,

my head would be clear for 2-3 hours before it would start to congest again.  I haven’t flushed my sinuses daily for

about 2 ½ months now, but try every few days and the weekends.  I tried using Colloidal Silver in place of

the salt and found it burned too much.  I

don’t know if I was using too much or what.

I don’t take Complete Nutrition or

Super Tonic because I simply have not had the time to stop and make any.  If anyone has any for sale, please contact

me.  I work for the federal government and

I worked 72 hours overtime the month of April, 52 hours

overtime the month of March and January, February and May I didn’t count

for fear of what the number might be, LOL. 

Last week I took a leave of absence and will be out of there for a bit.  I began to blame the sinus trouble on the

building I worked in – recycled air, no windows, no fresh air, sick

building with a lot of people sick all of the time.

The lemonade cleanse I did in December was

the last one I stayed on multiple days.  I’ve

done 3 juice fasts since February that lasted the weekend or three days.  I’ve also done 2 water fasts the last

few months where I drank nothing but water for 3-4 days.  I own a Jack LaLanne

juicer and I do a lot of fruit juice – apples and other fruit mixed

together.  Last week I bought many jars

of organic cranberry concentrate and I intend to do a two week long fat flush

where I will drink massive amounts of cranberry juice made from the concentrate

and eat only sparingly and only raw fruits and vegetables.

Even with all the work I usually felt

pretty good, and I attributed that the way I was eating.  The last couple of months I have began to

feel extremely tired, all the time, yet am unable to sleep well at night and I know

it is because I wake up, stuffed up or nose clogged solid and hard to breathe.

I take garlic every day, fish oil, Vitex, liquid B vitamins, Ester C and cayenne.  I also use a natural Progesterone cream.  Every couple of days I take MSM powder in

water.  I’ve been on this

supplement regime since January.  I

recently started taking Chromium daily, along with a double dose of Bilberry

because of changes in my vision I’ve attributed to the sinus infection or

the many working hours on the computer these past months.  I’ve taken Echinacea in the past and

just a few days ago started taking it three times a day, hoping it might help.  All supplements I take are organic or natural

and have no added ingredients or fillers, wheat, soy, etc.

The doc came to the conclusion the sinus

trouble was allergies but I stopped short of the massive allergy testing he

wanted me to do.  The MRI was

enough.  I buckled under to the Augmentin because of the hours I was working and I was sick

– I thought it would help and the two week, 4000 mgs. daily

did seem to do something.  The infection

went from green and a constant clog to clear drainage, but a week off the meds

and everything was back with a vengenence.  That’s when I gave up and just kept

plodding along, knowing I was going to be in a situation to take off work for

awhile and hoping I could get myself over this at that time.

Thanks for your time –

L.
