Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hi all- I don't usually write or respond much but do get lots of valuable information from you all so thank you. I expect I may be asking more questions in the near future with my impending 1st surgery and ASA desens coming in May and June respectively. Anyway, as a last ditch effort to try to reduce the polyps as naturally as possible, I went to see a doctor of naprapathy last week who said I have a yeast overgrowth - he did some adjustments and gave me a myriad of different things to take including heavy doses of garlic, this special medicinal tea made from different herbs, probiotics and a mix of sea salt and baking soda to irrigate with. In addition, I have stopped taking in any yeast and increased my yogurt. Anyway, I have been living with this for 6 1/2 years and diagnosed about 2 years ago. I have been having and nursing children in this time so I did not have any surgeries and would refuse to take different medications (singulair, prednisone, etc.) in order to not pass off the drug to my children. During this time I only had one treatment of antibiotics for sinus infection, however, I don't think I had one. Anyway, because of this my polyps have now taken over every sinus cavity and are just about ready to come out the front of my nose. I have had complete blockage for about a year now but have lived with it as I am just weaning my youngest from breastfeeding. With all this said, I have been taking the herbs, etc for about 5 days now and have had partial opening (for only part of the day) in one of my nostrils and the pressure in my nose has diminished somewhat. So far it hasn't been an overnight miracle but it feels like there may be some help it can provide. I am wondering if anyone else has tried to treat for a yeast overgrowth, if they have had any relief and if anyone has any other information that would be helpful regarding this. I am just really not looking forward to the myriad of drugs that the doctors are already prescribing in order to manage the samters and not taking into consideration how it will affect the rest of my body or mind for that matter. I am sure I will have more questions to come as my first surgery is scheduled for mid may. thank you in advance for your responses, TC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
