I have to share this with all of you. I have found that antioxidants
can help you live a better, healthier life.
I have relied on medication and medicated nasal spray for over 20 years
for my sinus problems and headaches. I was so miserable!! I tried
acupuncture which only helped clear up the sinus for 2 days at the most
but the session was so painful. I have heard the surgery only can help
for a short time and the problem will come back eventually so I did not
plan to have one done. Then 9 months ago, a friend told me about all
the wonderful things that antioxidants can do to your body. I started
taking it and found relief the very first week. I do not have to take
prescribed medications and nasal spray anymore, I can breathe freely
now and the sinus pain and headaches are all history. I only need to
take the supplements twice a day.
My husband cancelled his plan to have a surgery on his sinus problem
this year after he tried antioxidants and he is very happy with the
result. He does not need the nasal spray and Tylenol at all and he's so
happy he can achieve the result without painful surgery!
Antioxidants are vitamins or minerals that protect body cells from the
damaging effects of   free radicals, can counter act the effects of
aging, sickness and disease. Antioxidants are also found in fruits,
vegetables, nuts, oils and beans (buy organic foods only).
The antioxidants I take contains: curcumin, grape seed extract, pine
bark extract, brocolli extract, ginkgo biloba extract, vitamin C and E,
beta-carotene.
An atom missing an electron is called a free radical. Free radicals
alter or destroy cells. Cells that die, and cells that replicate in a
damaged state are the cause or contribute to premature aging,
sicknesses and diseases such as cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis,
and many others.
There are over 1100 different families of free radicals which come
from: smoking, stress, sunlight, pesticides, pollution, airline travel,
medications, foods, food additives, x-rays, chlorine in treated water,
mercury in seafood and teeth fillings and many more...and there is no
single antioxidant that can neutralize all of them. You need the
broadest spectrum of antioxidants and beware of deception when choosing
one.
Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, limit the number of damaging
free radicals in the body and can actually repair damaged DNA before it
replicates - if antioxidants are there. The importance of maintaining
proper antioxidant levels cannot be over emphasized.
By controlling free radicals, antioxidants can make the difference
between life and death, as well as influence how fast and how well we
age.
Diseases are not "caught" but are caused by what we eat or don't eat.

I have had over 12 sinus surgeries since age 12 years old...I have
bronchiectasis, two lung surgeries
and two mastoid surgeries...I now get IVIG for low
igg iga igm...and then still sick had a nasal biopsy
down, and found out I also have a cilia dysfunction.
my cilia is not pushing the cilia out...so matter
what I take I still need to go to the ENT and get
my sinuses and ears suctioned, the vest for getting
the mucus out of my lungs..
I am glad, there are some things that work for
others...humidity I do not like...makes mucus worse.

Have you got opinions from very good specialists in internal medicine to be
sure that the cilia dysfunction is not secondary to a systemic problem that
might be treatable?

A gross oversimplification.

Certainly it's good to eat a healthy diet, including foods with
antioxidants.

But--there are no easy "cures" for medical problems.
