Severe Sinus Infection, Lupus

I'm not sure about this recommendation so before you try it please check with someone who deals with natural medicine and has experience with Lupus. I had a sinus infection and used a product called DAG which was purchased through my chiropractor. It's an irish moss... it STINKS...but it worked. So I'm passing this on to you so you can seek it out. DO NOT take Echinacea with Lupus in case you didn't know or if someone recommends it. It will make your symptoms worse.

Here is the name of the chiropractor who works with other medical issues as well. Dr. Richards. She is in Glendora which would be one heck of a drive for you, but I feel it would be well worth it.

Try sniffing warm salt water. I had sinus surgery and that is what the Doctor recommended to keep the mucus out of the sinus cavity. Sniff the entire cup and use about a teaspoonful of salt. It sounds gross and it takes getting used to but it sure helped.

Have you tried Accupuncture? I see my accupuncturist for many different things, especially sinus related pain/allergies. I go to Atlas Healthcare in Encino. Good Luck.

Hi L.,
I'm 50 and was diagnosed with Lupus when I was 42. Spent 6 years, hardly able to move and got addicted to Vicodin for the pain. I also suffer from Fibromyalgia and 2 thyroid autoimmune diseases.
I would suggest that you start drinking Monavie, as I have since Oct. It is full of 19 fruits and berries, Omegas 3,6,&9, estrified fatty acids and all you antioxidants in just 2oz., which help fight off the free radicals that attack our body and immune system. I guarantee you, that one month of drinking 2oz 2 times a day, will not only improve your symptoms from Lupus, give you more energy, and in all likelyhood, will clear up your sinus problems. If you want to know how to get this juice, which costs about $4 a day to drink, please e-mail me and I will send you the info.
I drink it faithfully everyday, and I work 3 jobs, sleep great and feel very healthy. No flairups.
Good luck

L., I work with a whole food supplement that is completely natural and research proves that it will enhance your immune system. That way it could help you fight off this and future sinus infections. Also, it could help balance out your B and T cells, which would help your Lupus. You are welcome to check out my website at www.marymortonrn.com to see if you are interested. I highly recommend it. It has made a tremendous difference with my health. I have a lot of allergies and would frequently end up on antibiotics. Since I've been taking Juice Plus+ I have not been on any antibiotics and now I am happily off all allergy medications. Juice Plus+ is basically 17 fruits, vegetables and grains in capsules.
I am 48, have 4 children also and recently retired from being a Labor & Delivery nurse. We have some things in common :)

If your going to try accupuncture like recommended.
Andrew Lee is a fantastic Accupunturist near Henry Mayo- he helped my son when no one else could.
Then my husband went to him and he has had no reaccuring problems either.

Hi L., My mom has had full blown lupus for the past 16 years that we are aware of. This is what she recommended. make sure your drinking plenty of liquids. fish(salmon being the best) lots of greens,blue berries,raspberrys,stay away from dairy ,white vegi's & bread. take your vitamins, get penty of rest. rest before u get too tire.
Try to avoid getting stressed. stess is very bad. ask yourself, is anything around the house diffrent?(changed perfume, laundry soap,any new pets ,diffrent soap or shampoo , AnyThing . i dont know what stage your in but my mothers lupus is affected by heat, cant be exposed to sunlight,that really makes her sick we even have too get special light bulb in the house cause some were making her sicker. hope this info can help and hope u feel better!

Hi L.,
You poor dear! I am the sinus infection queen, glad to meet you! I am a longtime allergy sufferer and for the last two years my husband and I have been remodling our house and living in it. Our roof and walls had to be gutted and replaced because of water/mold damage. I suffered with six sinus infections in six months. I was contantly in pain. My face was swollen and sore. As soon as the antibiotics wore off I would get another infection. I found a sympathetic allergist who told me I would never get better as long as our house was under construction, and prescribed nasonex and astelin spray plus saline flushes and antibiotics. Then someone told me about Angstrom Silver. It is the BEST, NATURAL cure, you will not believe it!
Angstrom silver is purified water with ionized silver particles. It is a natural antiviral and antibacterial. I flush my sinus cavities with it, just as you would a nasal flush, morining and evening. I also drink a teaspoon a day. An aquaintance of mine told me about this at Christmas time, (about two months ago). For the first month I felt four infections comming on, but stopped them dead in 24 hours. For the last month and a half I have been totally symptom free. (And our house is still under construction!) I feel like my life has been saved. You can buy this online, just search "Angstom silver" I ordered mine from two different companies. I am currently using the brand "Silver Biotics" made by the company "American BIotech Labs". I heard you can also buy it at GNC stores.
How I use it- I washed out a nasonex bottle and filled it with the silver, then bent over and squirted two times in each nostril. Stay bent over for about 45 sec, then stand up and gently blow. Just a word of caution- if you have an active infection, it will burn like hell. The second time it will burn less, and the third time will be just mild, then nothing, which means the germs are dead!! It only burns if its killing something!
Please email me if you can't find it fast and I will bring you some! You don't have to suffer!
Big Hug,
P.
