[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 642487, member: 4152"] I was getting frequent bad sinus infections last year. I had nine in a 12 month period. Had bronchitis twice. They occurred primarily when we travelled to visit our grandson, who happens to live in an area where there are more allergens AND we also tended to do more shopping when we visited...Walmart and that sort of thing. Well, I totally changed things. I started washing my hands carefully and VERY often...several times a day and always before eating and after being with our grandson. I use the wet ones wipes on shopping carts and then use one to clean my hands after shopping. We bought a really good air purifier for where we stay. I always take vitamins, but now have added lots of vitamin C when we travel and if I don't feel well or if our grandson is sick, I take zinc and an Indian based medication called Umka (plus the extra Vit. C and my usual vitamins). If my nose is stuffy, I use the Neil medication wash. Knock on wood and crossing myself, I only got one minor sinus infection for the last many, many months (probably close to a year now) and that was with many more trips to see our grandson than usual. Actually, what happened is my husband had a bad cold that one instance and I let my guard down. I KNOW these things are working. I have one doctor saying I absolutely should take the flu shot and another saying I absolutely should not. The second doctor is a functional medication doctor worried about the additives to the shot. I have many neuro and autoimmune problems etc. I was having trouble making up my mind, but the lack of efficiency of this year's shot made up my mind for me: no shot for me this year. Might take it next year but I hope and pray they remove or at least lesson the questionable adjuvants. (Think that's the term) and, of course, I hope and pray next year's shot is much more efficient.
