Hi all,

I'm Rosebud but unable to post under that name why?

Any how, I'm seeing a Chinese herbalist who stated all my insides are worn out "stomach lining gone" hence alot of the bad breath infection that is possibly sinus or tonsils infection. Well he says I have to stay away from cafeine, soda pops, coffee, spicy foods and cook and drink the herbs he prescribed. I don't know but I would think that there are foods out there that will facilitate this infection healing process faster.

So I'm asking any one with a Chinese background or who is knowledgable in this arena: what kinds of food can help to cool the body and I soppose that kind of food would have something to do with pH balance and temperature. All help and suggestions are welcomed.

After 10 plus yeears of thinking the infection is a sinus origin, I now see a medical doc who said I'm having classic symptoms of tonsil infection. The only way out is tonsilectomy (spelling), well I'm 31 yrs old w/a history of sinus surgery 2yrs ago. DO I really have to have a tonsilectomy?

Please help with the "cooling" foods list...very important to me.

Thanks alot
