Question
is there any sinus cures i have it year round and my face is hurting and my teeth. i take blood thinner so i have to watch what i do

Answer
Dear Shirlee,

Thank you for your question.

When sinus troubles are present, we know the immune system is weak. and you are lacking in the right nutrition.

I would advise you take the fruta-vida product. See website:

www.tryfrutavida.com/main

I would start with 1 ounce daily for about a week then increase to 2 ounces. This will take care of all the pain and will get rid of the sinus condition for you.

Blood thinner can be dangerous. Please email me back and let me know what prescription you are taking to thin your blood, and what other conditions you have.

I know the fruta-vida increases blood circulation and this should help with your condition, but i would still prefer to know more details.

Some Dietary Recommendations:

I generally advise people to cut out all soy products, except fermented soy. Miso, tempeh and soy-sauce are healthy. [fermented]

Soy contains goitrogens which depress thyroid function. It also contains phytic acid which hinders the bodies' ability to absorb proteins, calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. In general it is an enzyme inhibitor.

Also, please make sure you avoid all artificial sweeteners:
splenda, sucralose, aspartame, nutra-sweet, equal, acesulfame potassium.

Splenda/sucralose have become very popular these days and are just as bad if not worse than aspartame. These sweeteners are very toxic and are found in store bought vitamins, protein powders, anything sugar-free, gum, chocolate, soda... etc. Please read labels carefully and cut out all artificial sweeteners. This is very important.

Soy and artificial sweeteners both weaken the immune system. And the immune system is the key to healing any illness. Therefore the more we can support immune related health, the better.

Cut out all margarine and hydrogenated fats. Cut out canola, rapeseed and soybean oils. These are very unhealthy. Replace with butter, ghee, unrefined coconut oil, sesame oil, and virgin olive oil.  

7 glasses of water per day is a good idea to help flush out toxins from the body. Warm or room temperature water, never cold.

Please email me if i may help you in any other way.

Take care and best wishes to you.
