Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "mucus in nose/throat" as a symptom. Here are three possibilities:

Food Allergies
General Toxicity
High Histamine

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

frequent colds/flus

meal-induced pain for 1-4 weeks

mild facial burning/tingling

allergies as a child

dark areas under eyes

craving specific foods

discomfort caused by mold/mustiness

gallbladder attacks

sinusitis

eczema

frequent sore throats

high cigarette smoke sensitivity

... and more than 50 others

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of mucus in nose/throat:

Cause	Probability	Status
Food Allergies	99%	Confirm
General Toxicity	23%	Unlikely
High Histamine	0%	Ruled out

* This is a simple example to illustrate the process

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis

The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.

If you indicate suffering allergic/other reactions, The Analyst™ will ask further questions including this one:

Do you have a tendency towards producing excess mucus in your respiratory tract ("phlegm") or having chronic sinus congestion (runny/stuffy nose)?

Possible responses:

→ No / don't know
→ Yes, moderate
→ Yes, severe

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate excess nose/throat mucus, The Analyst™ will consider possibilities such as:

Allergy to Foods (Hidden)

General Detoxification Requirement

Histadelia (Histamine High)

Histamine can cause additional mucus production.
