Fungus as a Potential Cause of Sinus Infections

 Read my disclaimer and terms of use.     

Chronic sinusitis is a common problem for people with fibromyalgia, scoliosis, pectus excavatum and/or other signs of connective tissue disorders. I remember my mother having chronic sinus infections when I was little to the point where she would have her head x-rayed. When my children were little, they would get sinus or ear infections almost every month, especially in winter. They were on antibiotics almost as much as they were off of them. We stopped getting as many infections, and stepped off the antibiotic treadmill, when we went changed our diets. (Also see my section on mold allergy.)

Recent research has linked chronic sinusitis to fungal infections. Some interesting links on the subject are listed below:

Knowing what I know now, it is no wonder that my kids never really completely recovered until we went on a diet that addressed the underlying cause - a fungal infection. The antibiotics they had been receiving most often was Amoxicillin, made from penicillin - a mold. So for many years here I was giving my children prescription doses of mold (mold is a subset of fungi) when most likely the root cause of their problems was actually a fungal infection.
