Sinus infections would include mostly runny nose (lots of blowing nose). Should one keep blowing their nose, or let it run?
Also it includes waking up with a clogged/stuffed nose.
What would help this or cure this?

First, it's important to distinguish a stuffy/runny nose from a sinus infection. They are 2 very different things and if you reach the point of bacterial infection you may need antibiotics. Second, I had lifelong sneezing with stuffy nose and nasal drip and was diagnosed with vasomotor rhinitis. Imagine my surprise when I went primal at age 64 and 2 weeks later had NO SYMPTOMS! Turned out to be wheat, because after a few months I caved and had some treats containing wheat and all my respiratory symptoms came right back, then disappeared when I went back to primal. I still have a few reactions to blooming trees, but that's once or twice per year as opposed to 60 years straight. |

I found I was allergic to dust mites and got the cases for my mattress and pillows. I also vacumed under the bed and dusted real good and now keep everything pretty clean. It really helped me. |

Oil pulling, which the theory goes replicates our paleo ancestors mastication of animal fats. Works for me (and bees cappings if you know a bee-keeper). |

I feel guilty when I get sinusitis, as though I haven't tried hard enough. But I think the guilt is misplaced, as even people in paleo times seem to have got infections ... |

Some people have incorporated xylitol in their nasal irrigation solution to help fight infection. http://ezinearticles.com/?Why-Use-Xylitol-With-Sinus-Irrigation?&id=2888614 |

I am just getting over a horrendously nasty bout of a sinus infection myself and suffered for a week before I relented and went on antibiotics. Doing the paleo diet for the past 3 months and being gluten-free, grain & legume free did nothing to help prevent or alleviate any symptoms, so quite a disappointment. I too am looking for answers in the paleo world. The only possible remaining issue might be dairy. I eat butter, some cheese (unpasteurized), and heavy cream in my coffee. But maybe it's unrealistic for paleo-diet to be a cure-all for everything, especially bacterial infections. Or maybe I haven't been on the paleo diet long enough to reap the benefits. (I also fly on a regular basis and it seems that every time I go on a trip, I pick up something.) If anyone out there has an answer or solution, I'd love to hear it. |
