Comments (40)For sinus sufferers, there was a bit on NPR about lactobacillus sakei and sinus infections...seems to be a strong connection to the good bacteria fighting off the sinus infections. Only thing is, it hasn't been studied yet in humans, but thought I'd mention that there has been some early signs of success with it. Also GF suffers with allergies and she has found that taking OTC antihistamine before or as her allergies begin really helps to control the situation as it keeps it from getting worse and setting up vicious cycles of misery. Though I have no first hand experience, I hope this helps.... what causes sinus infections Acutally this whole human biome business is just beginning to get hot and scientists are just beginning to understand that we shouldn't think of the body as a pristene place with viral and bacterial invaders that need to be wiped out....rather we need to think of the body as a garden where we want to grow the good bacteria so it can keep the bad stuff in check....fascinating stuff.

Comments (57)Thanks for the heads up about the show Maddielee. And thank you too for the kind thoughts. It was weird watching it on tv and seeing people I was familiar with being interviewed. I was horrified when I heard there had been microphones and cameras in the walls. Talk about CREEPY!!! Over all, though vague, the report was pretty accurate, the only thing we saw misreported was the place they gave chemo in. They said the chairs were cramped and there was no where for family to sit, but we never saw that. The lounge they did the infusions in at the sites we went to were really nice, nicer and roomier than others we have been to since then. What surprised me is how much they left out of the report. They probably couldn't prove this but we were told by an attorney that the almost all of the revenue for Crittenton hospital's radiology department was generated by Fata and it's strongly suspected that they were in bed with him. The hospital has since been sold to Accession Health making it harder for patients to sue them. They also left out that the "resident students" Fata had mentoring under him and seeing patients (including us) were from the middle east but were not licensed to practice in the US. That his wife was the Chief Financial Officer of the practice and she claimed she knew nothing, even though thousands of medical records were pulled from his HOUSE. She (nor anyone else) was never charged with anything, she's also fled the country. I wish they would have reported that he became a naturalized citizen in 2009 while he was already stealing from the government and killing people; he lied during his oath to this country. He also used to have the hospital discharge patients from their hospital beds to make them go to his office for chemo treatment and then he'd readmit them afterwards adding thousands to the billing charges. That doctor they interviewed, while I'm really glad he did what he did, I still don't understand how he couldn't have known more as he used to sign off on the blood work they did on patients including my husband before each infusion. How could he review and sign off on blood work, if he didn't see the pt. history? And if he suspected there was a problem earlier why didn't he step up then? I believe that's why he's named in the suits....See MoreTwo sides to every story?
Comments (27)Well, how about these priests who rail against sexual sins and then we find out they commit them, or artists for whom we love their art but find out they were horrible people, or teachers or coaches we loved whom we find out also sexually abused someone? Or the pillar of the community who we find out was involved in some type of scam? Or our neighbor who had a secret life with another family in another town, or the Nazi guard who was a loving father, etc., etc. One of the truly disturbing and puzzling aspects of the complex human behavior and personality profile. Or on the flip side, when you read in the obituary of your childhood bully that he loved gardening and playing with his granddaughters, or read the sad posts from his friends about what a great guy he was and how much they loved him. Edited to add that some people really are Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde type of people. They only show their Mr. Hyde side when they think they can get away with it. They develop a system, as was described for this doctor, of figuring out who to target. Same with sexual predators . . ....See More12/29/15: foods to lose weight, daily journal toward health & joy
Comments (55)Thank you, Jess and Khalid for your comforting words. I went to the PA (physician assistant) on Jan 20. He checked my ears and found the right ear badly blocked, same with the left ear. When the cold virus attacks the body, it inflames the Eustachian tube. Some info. from Mayo clinic: "With plugged ears, your eustachian tubes — which run between the middle of your ears and the back of your nose — become obstructed. You may experience a feeling of fullness or pressure in your ears. You may also have ear pain, dizziness and muffled hearing. As swelling from the cold subsides, the obstruction usually resolves." My experience is very much like what the below doc. went through: http://www.healthxchange.com.sg/healthyliving/SpecialFocus/Pages/a-common-cold-can-cause-vertigo.aspx " Dr Young, 33, started an otherwise ordinary day with a mild sore throat and a runny nose – like he was coming down with a cold. However, by the third evening, he started to feel light-headed and awoke the following morning with severe vertigo. He felt as if the room was spinning around him. “For the first two days after the vertigo set in, I couldn’t eat, drink, turn my head or even move my eyes from side to side without vomiting or feeling the room spin around me,” he said. It turns out that Dr Young had labyrinthitis, a condition where the labyrinth (the inner ear) is inflamed and not functioning normally. Dr Young, an infectious disease specialist from Britain who works at a local hospital, self-medicated with vestibular suppressants and anti-emetics. These are prescription drugs to suppress dizziness and nausea. “But they had little effect." he said. “The acute vertigo usually lasts from a few days to two weeks. As it resolves, the patient experiences slight imbalance or unsteadiness while walking. This rehabilitation phase may last for one or two months. The hearing function may or may not fully recover. The recovery period is fastest during the first month but the patient may still recover up to six months after the onset of the disease,” said Dr Tan. Labyrinthitis is often spontaneous and idiopathic but can occur after a cold, flu or upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). “These infections don’t usually affect the inner ear. More often, in URTIs, the middle ear is affected when bacteria and nasal secretions pass through the eustachian tubes to the middle ear causing fluid accumulation. A bad middle ear infection can lead to the spread of infection to the brain, or in rare cases, labyrinthitis as well,” said Dr Tan. **** From Straw, the P.A. who examined my ears recommended an MRI of the brain (magnetic resonance imaging scan) to show the inflammation. The cost? $1,000. I said, "NO way, I'm going to rinse my ears with hydrogen peroxide". I went home, fill a glass-dropper with hydrogen peroxide, rinsed my left ear. That cleared out completely. The right ear which bled, I had to rinse it 3 times with hydroxide peroxide ... and my vertigo went away !! I was able to stretch my head backward in all directions. Hydrogen peroxide kills all three: bacteria, fungi, and virus....See Moreeld6161
