Struggling with persistent sickness...

I would say to start from the ground up. Nutrition, sleep, movement.

Since you say allergy testing, I'd suggest elimination diet to check for foods which don't agree with you. Start with the major food allergens and continue with food groups, like FODMAPS, legumes, nightshades, salicylates, oxalates, etc. **If** you are a person who has foods that don't sit well with you, the inflammation can have systemic consequences.

Consider if fasting is an option for you. Fasting between 24 - 48 hours can reset the immune system, but fasting over 48 hours can impair healing when already sick. You would need to do your research about if fasting is appropriate in your situation. If you can, fasting is a fast way to reboot the immune system.

It's very easy to have sub-clinical nutritional deficiencies with Standard American Diet. I would suggest doing everything you can to learn the newest generation of nutrition science and recommendation which hasn't hit USDA recommendations yet. I can recommend some resources if you're interested.

Movement/exercise boosts the immune system, and some say that exercise may flush bacteria and viruses from the lungs and airways.

Not getting enough restful sleep really cramps your immune system function, so this is another important arena for healing and disease prevention.

Start with the basics of nutrition, sleep, and movement. Do you have access to a D.O. instead of an M.D.? You might get an integrative approach. I'd be leery of surgery too.

Those steps are very essential, I hope you'll get the expected results soon. This will never happen to my coop, I will ensure that...

gargle with light saline warm water.

alternate with 3:1 blend of hydrogen peroxide.

do you have sinus or dental problems?


(should i have warned you that this next part is kinda gross? hahaha...)

there are a few drainage tubes that come into the back of the throat and for some people those can get little chunks of food caught in them, which will then calcify over time, you can dig/pry/push them out with a butter knife if you can see them, get them out, this also contributes to bad breath.

I hope you guys are protected, the Ncov 19. we are in quarantine here in the Philippines. I hope everyone is doing good.

we are fine thanks. life as usual for me and so far not too much out of the ordinary for Mom. she was saying last night that she is going to be home for the next week so she can work on her quilts. she makes hundreds of lap quilts for vets, hospice and autistic kids.

i hope you will be ok there. just wash your hands and try to stay away from those who are already sick, but the hard part is that carriers of the virus may not know they have yet. that is what this self quarantining is about to try to slow it down enough to give those that really need the advanced health care to actually be able to get it without swamping the health services and health care workers.

I think the quarantine will last for a long time. the death toll is not going any lower. It's very difficult here now. the curfew is getting worse.
