Update on the nettie pot

Ok, I'm sorry. I know I promised an update. The truth is that I haven't consistently been using it to know if it works or not. After the day that I used it four times, I felt like I had a head cold. I even had sneezing. The next day, I only used it once. It did give some relief but it was only temporary. The relief lasted about an hour. I did buy some oil of oregano but I haven't used it yet so I don't know if it makes a difference. I'm not giving up on the nettie pot yet. I think it's something that you need to do consistently until the symptoms are gone. I could be wrong though...what do I know?

The Nettie Pot

I've been having sinus problems for about the last 3 years. I was so hoping that it would resolve itself by being on this diet but so far it hasn't. I decided to take matters into my own hands and buy a nettie pot. I've had it for about a month and haven't used it because I was scared, lol. I watched a YouTube video showing how it worked and it looked easy enough. The other day I decided to finally try it. I guess my sinuses are more messed up than I thought because instead of a stream flowing through my nose, I had a drip going on. In the mean time my sinus cavity was burning up!!! I've used the nettie pot about 4 times now and I swear it seems like my sinuses are getting worse with each use. I have so much sinus pressure right now. I'm hoping that it's actually working and I just have to push though until all the junk is out. I've heard people using some oil of oregano in the netti pot. I might have to buy some and try it. I'll update in a few days.

Another food to add...

To Shawn's growing list. He now likes raspberries. I gave Joshua some mixed berries and Shawn asked to try the blackberry (which he didn't like), the raspberry (which he continued to eat), and a blueberry (which he said was good but didn't want anymore). They ate the berries the first day (there wasn't really that many). Shawn has been asking me since then if I bought more raspberries yet. I'm kind of nerveous buying them though because I've heard they can contain mold but I bought some today anyway. I need to look and see if raspberries can grow in this area and see about getting us a bush.
