Constant Runny Nose

[aviators]

Hi all, I have been annoyed lately from a constant runny nose.
It just wont go away. Some sneezing as well.
Trying to eat more healthy and wondered if mms could help as well.
Never had any hay fever symptoms before especially since its winter. ??
Could this be a sign that my body is trying to remove something?

So whats up with a constant runny nose? Have you been effected lately ?

Thanks all...

ps posted this on a mms thread as well.

aviators, how long has this been going on? if only a couple weeks, I would say its viral. If its a month or more, then I would say try to think of anything that has changed in your environment. Check your furnace filter , those should be changed about every 6 weeks in high use months. If you have air conditioning, check for moisture and/or mold build up. If you have a new pet,maybe you are allergic. Is there more chemtrailing going on than normal?

In general though, a consistent runny nose would be a histamine reaction. The following are 3 natural things you can use to combat allergies.

I hope this helps.

Natural Antihistamines Send Hay Fever Packing

Sneezing, sniffling, swollen, itchy-eyes got you down this month? If so, you’re far from alone. Mid-august marks the beginning of ragweed season, which lasts through October, and causes a whopping 36 million Americans to suffer the symptoms of “hay fever”, or allergic rhinitis.

Technically, this site is devoted to food allergy sufferers, but with seasonal allergies (not to mention mold!) in full swing, we’ve got a total of 50 million people suffering some kind of torment, four of them in my very own household. So instead of writing about foods to avoid this week, I’ve focussed on foods to include in your diet that can help reduce allergies. Food allergy sufferers, take note: I have not forsaken you! As seasonal allergies are said to exacerbate existing food allergies, this information should be helpful to you as well.

Both my sons are in hyper-allergic mode this summer, both to foods and to pollen. Consequently, there’s been a lot of unnatural drugging going on — of the Claritin, Alavert, Benadryl type. I’m not alone in this. Americans spend billions of dollars annually on antihistamines to treat symptoms of allergies. The problem with these over-the-counter antihistamines — aside from their obvious side effects of drowsiness, cloudy thinking, dry mouth, and for some, accelerated heart rate — is that they don’t stop the problem from happening in the first place, they just mask the symptoms for several hours. But I need more than just a few hours reprieve, and as a desperate parent, sick of doping my children, I have turned for help to a natural alternative: foods that fight allergies. What a novel concept. EATING YOUR ANTIHISTAMINES.

So what are these super-foods? Well, lucky for you, most of them are available in abundance at your local green market or grocer. For a change, East meets West on this topic, with both traditional western medicine and alternative health practitioners agreeing that nature’s top edible antihistamines are found in foods containing Vitamin C, and Quercetin (a powerful flavonoid, sometimes called bioflavonoid). Additionally, there is much evidence that eating foods rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids reduces allergic symptoms.

1. Vitamin C

Vitamin C is one of nature’s great wonders. In addition to being a natural antihistamine, this water soluble vitamin has a multitude of other functions in the body. From being a powerful antioxidant fighting free radicals, to its role in the synthesis of collagen, it’s the vitamin we truly can’t live without. Foods rich in Vitamin C should be eaten as soon as possible when fresh, as they lose their strength after being exposed to air, or being processed, boiled, or stored for long periods of time. Good food sources of Vitamin C are guavas, blackcurrants, red bell peppers, kale, parsley, green sweet peppers, broccoli, brussels sprouts, mustard greens, mango, watercress, cauliflower, red cabbage, strawberries, papayas, green and white cabbage, spinach, citrus fruits, elderberries, calf liver, turnips, peaches, asparagus, cantaloupe, cayenne pepper, green onions, new lima beans, black-eyed peas, green peas, radishes, raspberries, yellow summer squash, sweet potatoes, loganberries, tomatoes, new potatoes, lettuce, bananas, kiwi, honeydew, pineapple, cranberry juice, vegetable juice, tomato juice, rutabaga, and kohlrabi. That’s a whole lot of options to keep you eating your C!

2. Flavonoids

Flavonoids, such as Quercetin are a group of plant pigments that are largely responsible for the colors of many fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Quercetin is a natural antihistamine that helps stabilize mast cells to prevent both the manufacture and release of histamine, as well as other allergic and inflammatory compounds. Good sources of Quercetin are citrus fruits, onions, garlic, apples, parsley, tea, tomatoes, broccoli, lettuce, legumes, berries, and wine (no bummer there!).

3. Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 Fatty Acids are thought to reduce allergic reactions through their anti-inflammatory properties. Omega-3 Fatty Acids are found in such foods as cold-water fish (think salmon), and walnuts, but since this is a blog devoted to food allergy sufferers, I prefer to recommend you get your Omega-3s from less allergenic sources, such as hemp seeds, flax seed oil, canola oil, and grass-fed meat.

Many articles advise you to start loading up on your natural antihistamines six weeks prior to peak allergy season, but since many of us don’t know exactly what pollen or mold spores we’re allergic to, I advise trying to eat as much of these foods as possible, all year round. Eating a diet rich in natural antihistamines can help prevent the allergic reactions from happening in the first place, thus reducing the need for the drugs, and making us all a little healthier and happier, not to mention less congested!

I got rid of mine with anti fungal nose spray

Xlear during the day (which is nothing more than xlylitol and Grape Fruit Extract)
Coloidal silver nasal spray at night


Many runny noses are, in fact, fungal ... in fact fungal infections in our sinus and nostrils are extremely common and rarely diagnosed.

[Mandala]

Me too. It's becoming almost embarrassing that I constantly have a watery nose even taking Claritin.

[Cardillac]

chemtrailing, anyone?- increasingly more and more people are complaining of various respiratory problems...everywhere

[Maia Gabrial]

Lemons are antifungal. Alittle spritz in water goes a long way for me.
But mostly, I drink Pau D'arco tea at the first sign of ANYTHING....

By some accounts most sinus issues are fungal in nature. Please do not follow any doctor's advice to use antibiotics. These are effective only 4% of the time. This percentage was gleaned from convention's own epirical data, yet they continue to prescribe them!

Xclear, yes!

Good advice.
There are lots of reasons for a runny nose. If your nose becomes really blocked and you lose your sense of smell, you may have nasal polyps...this would become apparent if things just don't clear up.
best advice is to see your Dr and get investigated. ENT consultants would be able to tell you.
All the best and hope it clears up of its own accord.

Thanks to all. Now fungus is not something I considered. I wasn't sure if this
hay fever symptoms was from alleges airborne or environment possibly food?
I have been trying to lay off the glutton. But perhaps have substituted something
that is effecting me differently adversely. I looked into the Histamines area a bit and found this also effect asthma sufferers. Because asthma is now apparently off the charts with new cases I am not ruling this out. Have had a bit of wheezing off and on for a couple years now.(This is new for me as well) So perhaps this is all related. Trying to find the cause (or trigger) from the effects can be challenging.
I'll keep you all posted if I find the cure.

Best Regards....
