Hi! I would like some suggestions from you to try to solve some respiratory problems that I've been facing for as long as I can remember.
When I was a kid, I remember having a complicated respiratory system. Doctors said I suffered from bronchitis, sinusitis, respiratory allergies, asthma, etc.
My mother tried several treatments, but none were effective.
During that time, of course, I took a lot of medicine to be able to "live", since the crises were always very strong. I sneezed for 2 whole days and kept blowing my nose. The nostrils were blocked most of the time, especially when I lay down. I have always used naphazoline hydrochloride and other substances to be able to breathe through my nose.
Today, at 25, I'm much better overall. My nostrils still clog when I lie down, and I still have bouts with dog hairs or very dusty things, but the bouts are less severe and usually go away more quickly.
However, it is something very inconvenient, since a perfume or a dog can ruin my day.
One thing that has helped me a lot since I met Ray Peat is cyproheptadine. If I take cyproheptadine one day, it's almost guaranteed that the next day I'll wake up without any allergies and my body will be even more prepared not to suffer any crisis.
However, I don't want to depend on it, not to mention the adverse effects, such as excessive sleep, dry eyes and mouth, etc.
Do you have any suggestions on how I can make my body stronger against respiratory allergies?
Comments:
- I ALWAYS wake up sneezing once in a while and blowing my nose at least once in the morning (yes, this could be a problem in my room, but this is a thing that happens since when I was a child and didn't stop, so I think this is something in me, not in the dozens of rooms I've slept [unless I have cement allergy hahahaha])
- As soon as I lie down to sleep, at least one of my nostrils gets clogged and it gets a little hard to breathe (I use naphazoline hydrochloride to solve it)
- Exposure to allergens gives me a VERY annoying crisis where I keep sneezing a lot and blowing my nose every 2 minutes or less, in addition to blocked nostrils and itchy nose and eyes.
- Diet according to Ray Peat's ideas (avoiding PUFA, starch, greens, etc.) does not seem to improve my situation
- I take B complex, vitamin e, calcium from oysters, methylene blue, aspirin, vitamin k and magnesium every day
- My diet basically boils down to: milk, eggs, fish, beef, liver, carrots, sourdough bread, fruits, coffee, potatoes, etc.
- I had my tonsils, adenoids and turbinates removed when I was a kid
Thank you in advance.
