Happy Monday Y'all!
I wanted to give you an update on my ridiculous cold that was like the never ending nose monsoon. Well, thank the Lord, I'm better. I'm a week late on updating y'all but here are the results to my experiment with the so called "snot stopper."
I took three capsules of sinatrol mid morning two Thursdays ago. I took them between meals because sinatrol contains bromelain, an anti-inflammatory pineapple extract, that breaks down proteins. Taking the pills away from meals made the bromelain enzymes work on breaking up the mucous proteins instead of food proteins.
I promise I'm shooting straight when I say I actually felt relief in my symptoms by mid afternoon. My nose was still running but I wasn't sneezing every 15 minutes anymore and I could feel the pressure in my nose dissipating. By that evening, I didn't sound like a pinch-nosed telephone operator from the 1950s anymore.
I'm about to fess up to why I took on this experiment in the first place (besides being miserable). Thursday night I took a plane to Colorado to go skiing for a long weekend with friends and family. I was desperate to not have my snot freezing to my face while I bombed down the Rockies.
This is me trying to hold an edge on my turn. The landscape photo in the header is my friend Beth and I "posing." We had one day of blue skies and sunshine with windy runs and one day of constant snow with awesome powder runs.
I would say, skiing in 10 degree weather for 2 days was the ultimate test for this stuff. I continued to take the three capsules in the mornings until Sunday, but by Friday morning I felt better than I had in weeks. Of course I was a little sniffly while we were on the mountain, but there is a big difference between blowing my nose once between powder runs on a cold day and plugging my nose with tissue paper in my little office at the OHW clinic (Yes, I do this in dire situations; I learned it from my father and it works. Don't judge.).
So, suffice to say, I now have a bottle of sinatrol waiting for if/when I come down with another cold or flu that I can't beat off quickly. But that brings me to my next experiment that I hope I won't have to do. Viracid. This is another supplement that contains natural ingredients, botanicals and nutrients that are supposed to skyrocket your immune system fighting off a cold, upper respiratory infection or flu. It is something you take when you start to feel the symptoms coming on.
I've listed some of the natural ingredients that are research-supported for immune support below. There is conflicting information and research about some nutrients like vitamin C for a cold, so hopefully this list gives you the most up to date info.
Have a great week y'all!
