Re: colds with adrenal fatigue

[Guest guest]

I know that feeling and it is no fun. Adrenal fatigue can contribute to

lower immune system defences. Make sure you take tons of Vit C and

Echinacea. If you have HC they usually say you should increase the dose

at first signs of flu or cold. Hope you feel better soon

Are you on adrenal support? It might be a good idea to double it for

three days to help you gt over this. If not you might try some extra

vitamin C, Zinc

some immune boosting alternatives to echinacea (which can be a high

allergen):

* zinc lozengers

* astragalus (chinese herb that is an immune booster)

* fresh garlic (chop up into little pieces & drink in a small glass of

juice). Yes you'll smell, but you'll also kill anything!!

* add Vit c throughout the day until you reach max. dose (loose

bowels), don't try and take it all at once!!

Watch out for zinc lozenges. zinc pills may be better. Should you

accidentally inhale any of the zinc lozenge (it happened to me with Cold

Eze) you can lose your sense of taste or smell. There were lawsuits in

Arizona against the company Quiggley that markets Cold Eze lozenge and Zicam

zinc nasal spray. The nasal spray was the worst offender permanently

destroying the sensory receptors.

Zinc has long been known to destroy olfactory sensory receptors. Why Zicam

ever made it to the market shows how the FDA has no clue. " Health

officials and interest groups allege COLD-EEZE causes users to sustain

permanent loss of their senses of smell (anosmia) and taste, sometimes after

a single application of the product. Users blame the medication's zinc

solution, which has been linked to olfactory nerve damage when applied

through the nose. Furthermore, critics argue that zinc-based nasal sprays

are ineffective against colds. " Just search zinc nasal spray and lawsuits.

I have not recovered my sense of taste of smell since the year I used the

Cold Eze lozenges. I was the first to report to the FDA concerning loss of

taste and smell. Little did I know that there were lawsuits regarding Zicam

A law firm asked me to participate in the suit after I joined an on-line

group for anosmia (no sense of smell). I declined, too tired.

In my case, I tried the lozenges and found they were very hot and I coughed

and probably coughed some zinc coated saliva into my nasal area destroying

the receptors. Usually with the lozenges one does not reach the nasal

passage. It was disputted that the zicam does not get sprayed high enough

to reach the olfactory receptors but the reports were still there alleging

that the Zicam did actually destroy users' sense of smell.

I know I have not smelled or tasted since the Cold Eze lozenges. So if you

use them be careful not to cough!!!

I've read this numerous places and it has kept me from using this

remedy. My husband has a problem with not being able to smell that

comes and goes. It's more that he can only smell stronger smells

now. He used to be an avid user of Afrin and I think it did damage.

Linn:

I never got my sense taste back tho I can taste stuff in the very back of my

tongue/throat. I can still smell a little bit. I have been told repeatedly

that taste is really about smell but I really cannot taste anything on my

tongue. My most recent new doc, who will not be an ex-doc, did not believe

me and wanted to check the pH of my tongue and he put a zinc solution on my

tongue. he was shocked that I could not taste the metallic taste at all.

It was as if he dropped water on my tongue. Now the fact that he did not

know zinc was an olfactory sensory cell killer irritated me.

I can smell food and many things, just not at the level I used to. However,

taste is a thing of the past and when someone wants me to taste something

they are shocked that I cannot taste it until I have swallowed a bit of it.

I am curious as to the assertion in biology/physiology classes, that the

tongue only senses salt, sweet, bitter and sour or something like that, but

has no other taste mechanism without the sense of smell. Shouldn't I be

able to taste something on my tongue since I can still smell a bit? Makes

no sense to me.

I'm so sorry you're feeling so rotton. I have ongoing issues with my sinues as

well, and it's miserable. I saw you'd ordered a Neti-Pot, so I thought I'd

share something I like better that that with you. I have a Dr. Neil's sinus

rinse bottle, and I like it much better than the netipot I had. It comes with

premixed packets of salt and baking soda to add to the bottle, and I found it

easier and cheaper to mix salt and baking powder on my own when the packets ran

out. But there's a another ingredient that I add that my allergist told me

about, and it's the magic ingredient that really makes this rinse work. It's

called Alkalol. You can do a google search for it and find it lots of place. I

get mine from www.luckyvitamin.com for a great price. It's a mucus solvent that

has eucolyptus oil, pine oil, and some other good stuff. It really thins out

the mucus and helps the sinus stayed drained. My doctor recommended 1 tsp added

to the salt/baking soda mixture. He has me rinsing 2-3 times a day whe my

allergies are at their worst.

It's fabulous, and I will never be without Alkalol again. You could easily add

this to your neti-pot, but I like the way Dr. Neil's bottle flows better. I got

mine at a special compounding pharmacy, but I've seen it at Walgreens, and I'm

sure it would be easy to find online.

Good luck. I hope you feel better.

Get some eucalyptus, tea tree and pine needle essential oils, one or

all is fine.

Fill a big pot (the kind you make spaghetti in) 1/3 full of water,

bring it a boil, take it off the heat,place it on a towel on the

table or counter.

Put 3 drops maximum, one drop of each oil, or three drops of one oil.

Get a big bath towel, hover your face over the pot and drape the bath

towel over your head. Steam yourself for 10-15 minutes several times

a day.

Hoping you feel better, Jackie

Thanks for the info on Akalol, as far as siunus irrigation systems I

have been using a great product for a few years:

http://www.alerg.com/page/A/PROD/SST/SST2000?

gclid=CO7j7eOs7IcCFSNpYAodTReBiQ

I just use water + a tsp of sea salt, it works fantastic. I have not

had a sinus cold in a very very long time

I like the sound of this, but work full time, so this is not practical. Thanks

anyway! Oh well. I am getting a neti pot, and I might try Dr. Neils Nasal Rinse

Bottle also, to see what works best for me. I have been printing and reading

things from " the doctor within " site and it sure is an eye opener!
