    Default Stuffy nose and inner ear

    Hi everyone,
    Was just wondering if anybody had had the same problem and knows of anything else other than a raw diet that may help.

    Two years ago when working with hay for long hours I started to develop what i thought was a hay allergy and just dirt but two years later and having not been in the same environment that problems have still not left and are got getting any better.

    It started off where I would get black dirt up my nose and in my ears, I worked on a yard with horses so the dirt wasnt just for the hay. I would shower etc and clean the areas but the same would happen the next day(obviously) I wore a basic dust mask when i first noticed the problem but it seems whatever had started had already made its home. My inner ears became very dry and i started getting huge flakes of dry skin coming out of them, they hurt ocassionally and itch all the time. I got obsessed with cleaning them due to the dirt always being in there but realised this would do more damage than good and read about putting olive oil around the out edges, this helps the skin slightly but should I be applying oil to my ears every single day.
    My nose is constantly stuffy, it is either dry with bogeys(not sure of the proper name forgive me hehe) or streaming runny like water. From what I have read this is not an infection or it would be thick mucus.
    Both of these have effected my breathing. I keep panicing that its going to get worse and worse and my ears become totally damaged. I know that if i got to the 'normal' doctors they will give me antibiotics which i wont take and will give me nasal and ear drops, again which i wont use.
    I cant understand what it is, if it was an allergy surely now i am not working with hay anymore for over a year it would not effect me. and if it was an infection wouldnt eating lots of green foods and herbs etc clear it up

    Thankyou for reading

    I honestly don't know what's going on. But I just wanna share a story of mine cus maybe it'll help.

    I was told since birth that I had allergies and that they were genetic. bla bla. So they gave me shots then pills then shots and pills. Crap to squirt up my nose, etc....

    I decided to quit taking ALL of those drugs they were handing out to me like candy. And I began to slowly year after year feel a bit better.

    Then last year around feb I did a fast for 11 days. Then in the spring I did another juice fast for 28 days.

    I'm the one in my family that everyone knew who had such terrible allergies. Worse than everyone else in my family. It was so bad that some times I couldn't go outside in the summer for more than 5 - 10 minutes without going into a sneezing attack.

    Well a little after those fasts I was with my entire family for about a week. And they all commented on how I was the worse to be attacked by allergies and now I'm just sitting there with a huge grin on my face while everyone else is popping pills, squirting crap in their noses, walking around with kleenex, sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose, etc.....

    They wanted to know what to do and I was telling em. But they wanted a quick one day fix, and weren't willing to go on a fast to clean out their bodies a little.

    But that's what worked for me. Fasting. Maybe fasting will help you too. Cus I know what it's like to not be able to breath out of your nose for years. I used to be stuffed up all the time, but that changed for me after fasting.

    And another thing I learned was that dairy products caused my head to be filled with mucous. Cut out the dairy and away goes the stuffy head. Just throwing this in here in case.

    Can you all imagine the abundant world we would live in if we all planted the seeds of every plant we ate. You wouldn't be able to throw a stone without hitting a fruit tree or berry bush or some fruit/vegetable bearing plant. Imagine the bees that would thrive in such an environment. I see a world.....................
