Mayo Clinic researchers have found the cause of most chronic sinus infections is an immune response to fungus, the most common chronic disease in the United States.

An estimated 37 million people in the United States suffer from chronic sinusitis. Its incidence has been increasing steadily over the last decade. The chronic inflammation leads to polyps, small growths in the nasal passages which hinder breathing. (1)

Hello everyone, hello Polly! Well to my greatest despair I am right back here. I had a huge candida battle a few years ago and half conquered it. Well enough to be functional.

In any case, since one year, I have had very bad problems with chronic bronchitis. I was treated with one bronchodilator – antecholnergic that causes candida -, also took some cortisone inhaler and lateley was hospitalized with acute bronchitis and they gave me cortisone shots.

So here I am again, swarming with candida. I can’t believe this has happened.

Despair.

Hello Marie,

It has been a very long time since I’ve seen you here. So sorry that you have had this relapse.

Normal intestinal probiotics, magnesium and taurine are helpful in keeping asthma attacks at bay. Perhaps they would also be of some help in keeping bronchitis from being so severe.

I did read that a lack of natural progesterone will pre-dispose you to getting bronchitis. Perhaps you are low on progesterone? If you are low thyroid, or if you are approaching menopause, it is more likely that you are low on progesterone.

yes also I am now taking micronized progesterone also, it helps in many ways.

Hi Marie- Blanche! I remember you! Sorry to hear that you are back on skid row… same here… although I was not as serious about the diet link has I should’ve been… I kept trying to chelate mercury first, and had total intolerance for every chelator I tried until this OSR, but unfortunately it kicks up Candida big-time. So here I am. Welcome back, I guess… knowing we would rather not be here.

I am gravely ill and cannot function. I wasnt aware that candida was still lurking. I have symptoms now pretty much throughout the body mostly the chest.
I was given two asthma medecine which cause candida and cortisone injections. they cancelled out my immune system.
my body is so broken down and i dont really have the means to fight this new battle.
i also had a very weird boyfriend two years ago who was very promiscuous (with both sex) and I didnt know.

but if you dont have aids, is it possible to die of candida infection or the die-off? i am so very very ill i have been in bed unable even to sit 24/7 for the past 4 weeks.

doctors dont seem to know nothing and here is socialized medecine so the pitt.s
much love

Marie-Blanche,
How are you feeling now? Any better? I’m sorry that you are feeling so bad. What are you trying now for the candida? Or for your immune system?
