unless you have pyorrhea. If you have, that could account for your sinusitis. Dentists all told E that he had no pyorrhea until we went to that specialist. I went over the whole pile of my Journ. of A. M. A. to try & find articles on sinus conditions. Nothing in the way of a special in the main part of any of them. (150 & [[strikethrough]] over [[/strikethrough]] more magazines, but I found many references & abstracts of articles & gathered that sinus conditions can be caused by various focis (forgotten how I spell it) of infection. The secretions of the mucous surfaces are intended to protect you against infection and it is very bad practice to use douches & sprays & ointments as antiseptics for it brings about an unnatural condition of the membrane & changes the nature of the secretion which is your best protection. If your blood is in the proper condition the secretions will be normal & protective. Right here I will remark that your food goes to make your blood & it is very important to maintain its proper alkalinity. Do you know what foods leave an acid & what an alkaline reaction? No of course you do not and Doris will sniff at the very idea.
