USED FOR SINUS ISSUES WITH GREAT SUCCESS
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
Finally my 3 months of sinus congestion and cough are going away. My ears are also draining slowly too. This + oil pulling is helping with tooth sensitivity. Get this!
I have struggled with sinus issues my entire life with brief breaks from problems. I have had easily over 80 antibiotic prescriptions in my life for ear infections, 7 ear surgeries for a non-cancerous tumor, sinus infections, strep, etc. Last year the sinus problems began again and I was becoming dependent on antibiotics (5 infections in 3 months). After researching and concluding the bacterial infections were secondary to a fungal infection, my doctor and I decided to use a Nystatin both orally and powdered form in my netipot, and this cured the problem. However I was misdiagnosed with lyme this summer and was on antibiotics for a month. I also got strep throat, leading to another week of antibiotics. The sinus problems returned. I would have gone back to that doctor for more nystatin, however, I moved so that primary care, who was amazing and listened to me and trusted my science background, was no longer an option for me to visit. So I began researching ways to overcome ENT problems naturally and this probiotic came up as a good choice for sinus and teeth issues (I have also been having severe tooth sensitivity). And I am happy to say it is working. Additionally I have been putting the juice of kimchi up my nostrils and in my ears. The latter resulting in my ears draining onto my pillows for the first few nights.
I do not recommend Nystatin or any other fungal killer for that matter. After using Nystatin, I starting developing other problems like random joint and muscle pains, and I believe that is because the fungus was moving out of my intestines into the blood stream to escape the Nystatin (it has low absorption into the blood). I don't even recommend natural fungal killers like oil of oregano, pau d'arcco, neem, etc. I had been using for months and my intestinal candida was not improving. I truly recommend probiotics because biological control is always superior to chemical control. There is less chance for resistance since the organisms evolved together over millenia. Also building up diversity in your microbiome is hugely important. Get a good low-histamine probiotic to help with intestinal candida overgrowth and a good oral probiotic.
If you think you have systemic candida, I recommend the book Killing Candida Sweetly. I have found it helpful. I have been attempting to follow the protocols, but even with my moderate adherence, it is working.
