Hi all,

My main reason for attempting to become/stay high raw is to cure my chronic sinus congestion. I have something called non-allergic rhinitis it's basically 24/7 chronically swollen sinus congestion with lots of mucous that can't drain because my passages are swollen shut. The kind I have is present 24/7, but flares up worse with things like stress, strong odors and smells of any kind, weather changes, alcohol, lack of sleep basically any slight physical or emotional stress which often can't be avoided. It's really awful and meds don't really help.

I want to reduce mucous and hopefully heal my sinus inflammation with a healthier way of eating, I'm high raw about 50% of the time and working on being more consistent with it (hectic lifestyle with no free time so it's a challenge) and I want to know if anyone has any tips or resources on what things I should avoid or eat to help. ANY info would be so much appreciated. I've seen so many benefits with the changes I've made in my diet so far so I'm confident I can at least achieve some relief if I make more improvements. I do have a reduction in mucous especially in the morning which I'm thankful for, but I need more relief. So far I try not to eat white flour, white sugar and dairy and I've drastically cut back on meat, wheat products and processed foods the only reason I still consume them sometimes is because of my budget and an extremely hectic schedule.

I want to learn how to eat my way to clear sinus passages, regain my ability to smell and clear up my often red eyes from all of these sinus problems.
