Sinuitis and a cure?

  I'm late jumping in on this topic, Jayhawk, but I thought I'd let you know about my experience.

  I've had a LOT of sinus infections the past year. Last summer I had to stay on antibiotics for more than a month. But I didn't want to keep going on antibiotics, so I finally got a referral to an ENT doctor a month or two ago. I had read up about sinusitis, and I knew that allergies had a lot to do with it, but I didn't think I'd had allergy problems in years (I had no allergy symptoms, such as runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, etc.). So I was really surprised when the doctor prescribed allergic meds (I'm taking Allegra-D--the decongestant is really important for me), and my sinus problems cleared right up. As long as I stay on the meds, I have no problem. I also use a neti pot at least once a day. I keep some noniodized salt on the bathroom counter and just mix it with fresh water from the tap. It only takes a couple of minutes and it cleans out all the contaminants. My doctor highly recommends it.

  I asked her about a device I saw advertised on the Web, a kind of waterpik device that claims to force water up into your sinuses. She showed me how tiny the openings to the sinuses are (very small) and said that there's no way to force water into them unless they've been dilated. She told me the neti pot is just as good, and it's a lot less expensive.

  Good luck. I'm glad you're feeling better!

  I was getting knarly sinus infections seems like every other month. I tried every antibiotic my doctor could prescribe.

  A friend told me about Coral Calcium. It's supposed to be like a Chinese or Japanese cure.

  I bought a bottle of the cheaper liquid form. I finished a bottle of it and I have not had a sinus infection is nearly 6 months.

  GOOD LUCK!!! I know hw much they suck

  p.s. my friend who told me about it had sinus infections all the time like me. He has not had ANY since trying the CORAL CALCIUM.

  *LOL* really though, I have terrible allergies and many times all that works is flushing out my nose real good...*LOL* Like Moe said, it aint any fun and you feel like you've been drowned or something. I haven't seen those kits things though, maybe time for a look at the pharmacy...

  I agree about the saline solution. Just sniff it as high as you can.

  Years ago, I had a really bad one, and my mother told me to cut up an onion and boil it in chicken broth, and then eat the broth and the onions. The onions shouldn't get soft. I did that and it really worked. I assume it got the nasal passages running good, and there are some curative components in both onions and garlic.

  Saline solution is easier.

  The neti pot sounds similar to the pot I bought with the premeasured packets of solution. All I do is pour in the packet and add warm water to it. It is discusting, but it sure provides a temporary fix.

  I will go looking for coral calcium as soon as possible.

  I will try anything that is safe. If anybody else has any suggestions, I want to know!

  Mulan,

  I don't like onions, but I am taking a garlic tab 3 times a day, and I love chicken ramen noodles. Does that count?

  Just saw this thread -and read every word! Thanks, been working up a nasty head cold/sinus yuk since Saturday.

  And it's getting worse. So I'll go get some of this stuff.

  Thanks so much for all the good advice of things that work!

  Bought the Coral Calcium and took some. We will see if my health improves even more.

  good luck :)

  Make sure you finish off the whole bottle. That's all it took for us.

  Thanks guys! So far I am a believer in the Coral Calcium, the Saline Solution, the Garlic, and the Echinacea-Golden Seal. I am still taking all of them and my sinuses feel much improved.
