Is Your Nose Causing All Your Problems?

The Mayo Clinic often prescribes "anti-fungal" medications to sinus patients because they've found that those who suffer from sinusitis have a fungal overgrowth in their sinus cavities. While these medications may provide some relief, they do come with side effects, and they do not address the underlying problem — they simply treat the symptoms.

Note: Fungus can get into your sinus cavities from mold in your home, office, car, and other places.

Since 1996, we (at TIFM) have prescribed a very unique product that some of you have already used with great success. There is fungus everywhere, and sadly it affects our daily lives.

It is hot and it rains — symptoms rise from bad backs, hot flashes, increased carb cravings, and more — as the mold count goes up. I suggest checking the daily pollen count and avoid the outdoor air as much as possible to the same degree you would avoid getting wet when it rains. It is in your car air filter, your duct work at home, food and YOUR NOSE!!!

There are also foods that feed this fungus in your nose and in your GI tract. Wine, beer, coffee, tea, soda, chocolate, sugars (pasta, wheat, potatoes, corn) and cheese. All of these foods "feed" the yeast/fungus. I Do NOT recommend using commercial sugar substitutes that contain dangerous chemicals! For more info on this, search Dr. Russell Blaylock on YouTube. I also do not recommend substituting dairy products with soy.

If you suffer from stuffy nose, chronic rhinitis, can't sleep on your back at night (because of clogged up sinuses), or often go to your family physician with sinus infections (only to be prescribed antibiotics, which actually makes the problem worse), then you should strongly consider being treated for yeast in the sinuses!! Our custom compounded product that was designed for this by Apothecure is called FLUQNAC Nasal Spray.
