Sean Huber - 24 Oct 2004 07:09 GMT Hi,
I just wanted to pass along the fact that 3 weeks ago I was contemplating a trip to the ER. My sinus infection was causing a horrible, horrible headache, so painful I could barely stand. In my desperation I logged on here and read that someone had some luck with probiotics and yogurt. I headed straight for the fridge and gobbled down the first container of yogurt I could find.
A half hour later my headache was about 50% improved. I then headed out to a health food store, talked with the consultant in the supplements section and returned home with a jar of Solaray Yeast Cleanse and Jarro acidophilus. The next day my headache was gone!
I'd had some unexplained twitching in my left eye for about 2 weeks; it was gone, too. My vision cleared up and I've felt great ever since. I even smell things more keenly, too. I didn't even know I had diminished smelling abilities!
As a matter of history, I've had chronic sinus infections for many years, increasing to the point of having one about every other month. I've done steroid shots, antibiotics, Flonase, Sinofresh and recently had a CAT scan. I was at my wits end and was willing to try absolutely anything.
I feel a little funny being a walking commercial for probiotics but I want everyone to know that this is a true, honest testimonial for maintaining proper yeast levels rather than resorting to surgery (which would have been my next step) or suffering. Yes, my experience won't work for everyone but my improvement was so immediate and so dramatic I want to share it with everyone.
So if anything, try some yogurt. If you feel an improvement, try a yeast cleanse which will help kill off some of the excees yeast in your system. There are many good brands out there but Solaray was reported to give the most "bang for the buck." Then you can follow up with the probiotic of your choice or simply eat yogurt every day. I know there are diets that folks follow as well but I haven't made any changes to my diet (yet).
I hope this helps someone out there and I wish you all good health!
Sean

I cannot find any prior post from you ever, to any newsgroup.

he mentioned but 'Solaray' Yeast Cleanse and 'Jarro' acidophilus. these are two different manufacturers.
highly unlikely he's associated with Solaray.
seems like possibly you have a bug up your a.s about using anything except pharamaceuticals prescribed by the standard healthcare industry?

I agree with you that Don's ad hominem attack on this guy was uncalled for.
There are plenty of people out there who try these "alternative" remedies and think they're instantly cured. They're not liars; they honestly believe that.
What is at issue, is whether the perceived improvement in one's symptoms is due to the remedy or to something else. That's why I asked the question I did. Let's see if I get an answer.

i just want to make sure no one discounts any possible solutions for sinus disorders. i've never experienced such misery in my life since i started having problems with my sinuses.

It seems like a legitimate question to me. It's nice to know the agenda of someone who is touting a treatment, even pharmaceuticals...

Hello, I cannot believe this (none other than Don Brady): One of the biggest spammers in this news group, who tells everyone to plunge all the bacteria and fungus in the nasal passage up into their brain with that dangerous irrigator that cannot be sterilized. Or am i thinking about someone else in this news group? I donot know about acidophilus in a bottle, however i do know he is right-on about the yogurt. So if you purchase the products he wants you to try, and eat your yogurt, his products will surely seem to work? It sounds as if he is dealing with systemic fungus, which actually we all are . . . I will label-read his product, however i am having fantastic success with AZO's "Yeast", and it is cheaper than Health-Food Store stuff. AZO is using herbs along with lactobacillus sporogenes and other stuff. It is extremely strong, and you may get an unpleasant reaction to it for just a few minutes; after that it is quite mild. Check this out: http://www.wellvet.com/spogogenes.html My problem is that i am using Lotramine and now other things, along with my fungus killing "cocktail", which i think may be making me upset now . . . - it seems to be burning a hole in my stomach or something - i am using it less and less . . . We just have to hang-in-there until the Medical World and Corporate Society catches up with us. Iwill tell you one thing fur shure they are definitely watching this group!!!!!

I myself do not use irrigation, although I have mentioned irrigation on occasion since it seems to work for many.

Sean Huber - 25 Oct 2004 16:41 GMT My goodness, relax!! I am not a Solaray dealer, beneficiary of Soloray gifts, etc. In fact, I suggested the use of products "of your choice."
I am a mom of 22-month old triplets who has had debilitating sinus infections for many years. I've scoured the Internet looking for solutions, found one that worked fabulously for me and thought I would return the favor by posting what worked for me. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less.
I've never heard of Don Brady and this is the first time I've posted to the group.

Please accept our apologies. These medical support NGs, like alt.support.sinusitis, are frequently spammed by vendors hawking all manner of products.
I am curious, though, about your situation. Would you mind answering a couple of questions?
In particular, I'm sure you must have seen at least one ENT over the years. What did he or she have to say about your sinus problems, and what treatments did he or she prescribe for you?

One more thing I forgot to mention. I don't know why you keep cross-posting to soc.senior.issues and alt.arabic.politics, but I'm sure those folks aren't as interested in chronic sinusitis as we are in alt.support.sinusitis.
Please don't cross-post unless the NGs are closely related to your post.
I cross-posted this msg one more time, because I don't know which of the NGs you read most often. But once you see my msg, please stop the cross-posting.
TIA!

We might want to note that Sean just followed up another post which was already cross-posted. It is another poster here who continually adds cross-posts to off-topic groups, even in existing threads.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Sean, that's great that you found somethig that worked so well for you.
Please post again in a while and let us know if the relief is permanent.
Sorry for asking if you were conencted to Solaray. I find it is best to ask if I am wondering because that way the doubt can be removed.

What exactly did the "consultant" tell you to convince you to purchase these two products?

He doesn't say he posted, which would come up in a search. Just reading the posts wouldn't show up. As we all know there is a poster that advocates a strong yeast/sinus/yogurt connection and that is likely what he read about. If it worked for him, great...wish it was that easy for some of us. I do question a salesclerk in a health food store being called a "consultant" like it is a professional position but ah well, maybe that is what they are called where he lives. Trudy.
