WOW...I stumbled on your site because I had come down with a cold 5 days ago and it turned into a very painful sinus infection. I hadn't eaten ice cream for 2 or 3 years. I also haven't had sinus problems for a few years but...I too had ice cream 3 nights in a row before this sinus pressure and thick mucus showed up. I have always believed dairy wasn't designed for human consumption. The brand was chocolate blue bunny. The hydrogen peroxide and ACV did wonders for me within 6 hours...mucus is returning to clear and I have much less pressure around my eyes. Thank you so much for this info. I know a 3 year old who is struggling with asthma...could dairy be the culprit??

Yes. I think dairy could be the culprit. I am 36 years old and have had allergies and asthma from about 4 years old to almost recently. Now, I do not need my inhaler.

All this helped me so I thought I would share:

  • I cut out all dairy except yogurt (non homogenized but yes pasteurized brand name Erivan Yogurt) which I noticed gives me a subtle boost of energy around 3 PM. Interestingly, Eating yogurt in the morning or noon makes me tired.
  • No wheat. I eat organic spelt, basmati rice, brown rice, oatmeal. I eat no butter but yes to ghee.
  • I eat organic...
  • If I get mucusy, allergy symptoms I take Solgar Vitamin B12 and Modifilan (I open the capsule for my son when he gets colds/allergies and he loves to eat it from the plate). Vitamin B12 in the morning and Modlifan is wakame seaweed which absorbs toxins.
  • Also Vitamin C only when cold or allergy symptoms come on... But be really careful with children. And maybe opt for a food version high in Vitamin C for a three year old. Google "foods high in Vitamin C"
  • Mushrooms also supply the body with immune enhancing goodness and vitamin D which converts naturally to the usable Vitamin D with a little sun exposure.

My son had anger tantrums and ADHD pretty bad. The dairy (or rather the way most companies process it and what the add to it) was wreaking havoc on his little body. He was hitting and punching me and his dad. We did not punish him like some relatives and friends were encouraging us to do. And I'm glad we did not. Because we found the root to his behavior (dairy and sugar).

Just took it out of his diet and he still has some lingering behaviors but no where near the stress we were having.

A little dairy or sugar for my 3 year old would make him lose his mind.

Hmmmm... makes me think about the mainstream media and their advertisements about what's healthy for us.....

Body's need calcium, even for ADHD and for asthmatics. And magnesium...

I am looking for some farm fresh yogurt becasue Erivan is about $2 per cup.

Good luck and keep reading. You'll find the answers you need. Be well.
