Hi, I was really sick these last ten days. A heavy sinus infection on top of my usual chronic stuff. Now it looks as if I have managed to come out the other side. In the middle of the whole thing I nearly gave in and went to see a doctor who would have undoubtedly given me antibiotics. Now I am not aganst antibiotics per se. They are amazing when necessary and I would not be alive today if I had not taken them for example when I was 18 and had severe pneumonia. But for a sinus infection I'd much prefer other solutions. Especially since antibiotics really damage mitochondria and my mitochondria are unfortunately really weak.
So here is what I tried:
onion juice: one onion in blender, add 1 tbs of honey (or more if you don't have to watch your carbs), cover and let sit over night. Hold your breath and drink with the thought that it's really going to help.
This was quite certainly the most helpful of all the things I did. It does taste awful but it works..
gargling with salt water (sea salt): best with warm water
heaps of vitamin C: I went up, slightly above bowel tolerance
red light lamp: costs about € 10 and is really great against the pain in the sinus cavities
wolly hat: worn at all times and especially at night
drinking lots of herbal teas (as much as humanly possible)
and I am really chuffed that my poor battered immune system managed to kick the infection. This makes me quite optimistic for the future.
A VERY HEALTHY AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU
