I was using nasal antihistamine spray which was a vicious cycle and quit that cold turkey 4 days ago but still can't breath through my nose. I started 1 tbsp baking soda with 8oz water this morning which flushed me out and then read this site and bought some Organic raw unpasteurized ACV and took 2 tbsp w/ 8oz water.

Hi Jane, I went through a similar time of being sick over and over - asthma and sinus problems. The ACV and soda are a great help. 2 tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar and 1/2 tsp of b. Soda in at least 4 oz of water but more is better. Can do up to 4 x a day for 4 days then take a couple of days off. I had a severe candida problem that was causing the sinus issues and asthma issues. I went on the candida diet (should be on site somewhere) and no longer use advair. And I had used some for of asthma meds for the last 24 years! Now I use nothing. Yeast was there even when I wasn't having problems. It was building up quietly. Use the acv, read up on it and then go on the diet. It will help.Replied by Lisa (Jacksonville) on 04/12/2012
Hi Lisa - another Lisa here with the same sort of story. Candida building up quietly for years. I too, was on some sort of asthma meds, later advair for 21 years and now don't use anything. I had so many discussions with doctors who said Candida couldn't be systemic, but for those of us who have had it, it sure is! It's great to be past this b/c I thought I was just crazy.
