Diet Therapy for Sinusitis
In the acute stage of the disease, when fever is present,
the patient should abstain from all solid foods and drink
only fresh fruit and vegetable juices diluted with warm
water on a 50:50 basis. After the fever subsides, he may
adopt a low-Calorie, raw fruit and vegetable diet with
plenty of raw juices.
Once the acute symptoms are over, the patient may
gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet, with emphasis
on seeds, nuts, grains, vegetables, and fruits. In persistent
chronic conditions, repeated short juice fasts may be
undertaken for a week or so at intervals of two months. The
patient should avoid fried and starchy foods, white sugar,
white flour, rice, macaroni products, pies, cakes, and
candies.
