Can you write the names of the natural vitamins not able to read all the labels from screen for sinus. From the talk show this morning 3/31/2009. I take natural vitamins & fish oils & omega 3,6,9 so I would like to build up my immuine system. I get horrible sinus infections & nasty headaches. Please can you advise me of natural things. I hate prescription medicine & over the counter drugs.. I do have asthma & take fish oil for that its great. I did get hooked on it my inhaler. I try not to use it anymore...Its a horrible feeling to need medicine to breath.
Thank you,

Thanks
