<human>: read that garlic extract may increase testosterone, but have also read it might lower it as well.  very confusing. I wish to take something more natural for my sinuses which seems to never clear up.  Feels like I have a cold every day and I wake up either stopped up or blowing stuff out all the time. Dont like to idea of taking a antibiotic much.  Did go on two different rounds of it earlier this year.  didnt seem to help much.  What is your thoughts on this?
<bot>: don't think garlic extract has any untoward effect on testosterone. But if you have an assumption that it has----you have other things too.  Your sinusitis is Lilly to be allergic in origin. The problem on waking up suggest its bed dust allergy. I would suggest following things to control the problem.  1) Keep your bed pillows blankets dust free.  2)to avoid direct exposure to cold cover your sinuses with a clean thin cotton cloth3)Take 1/2 lemon in a glass of hot water (as hot as tea)-the first thing in morning. High dose of It. C will increase your resistance.4) take water vapor inhalation with Tulsa leafs/Eucalyptus extract in the water)5)get yourself tested for allergens by allergy specialist. avoid exposure to the allergens. You Can take Desensitization treatment to have a permanent solution.
