fungal sinusitis

I found some stuff that kills fungus and bacteria that you really ought to try. The antibiotics don't kill the fungus and you need to kill both. This stuff does. You just spray it in your nose and WOW, it got rid of my nasty sinus infection in about a week. I had tried antibiotics that were specifically prescribed for my sinusitis and I also tried a neti pot (yuk) but just couldn’t get this sinus infection to quit. So I did a search and found this stuff (Sinus Relief) from Nature’s Rite. The only problem is that you have to spray it every 30 minutes. I thought, hey, what the heck, it’s worth a try and every 30 minutes isn’t too bad. I was really surprised how well it worked so I bought their sinus support too. It’s been a good moisturizer with calendula and aloe. It’s herbal ya know. I like herbal stuff. So anyway, you should try this for your sinusitis. It won’t make you have a yeast infection after-words like some antibiotics do.

Antibiotics don't help

In Sinusitis the nasal cilia that move pus out of the nose are not doing their job. Things that stimulate nasal cilia are Hot tea, lemon and honey. But you have to drink enough to turn your urine light. Must be green or black tea, with or without caffeine.

Compresses to the sinses help. Enzymes to reduce swelling reduce pain. Don't forget bed rest.

Irrrigation should be rhythmic to not only remove stale mucus. but to stimulate cilia.

Sinusitis

Just adding a note for any chronic sinusitis sufferers out there - my wife struggled with a series of back-to-back sinus infections for several years until we found a study done in 199 by the Mayo Clinic. In it, they found some huge percentage (90+) of chronic sinus infections were caused by a fungal infection, not a bacterial or viral one. Google it - it's really good.

Short story for us: we got some Colloidal Silver nasal spray (no, she didn't turn silver...) and another spray called Sinufix - she started feeling better within days and hasn't had a sinus infection in over a year.

Complete disclosure: I'm not associated with anyone selling anything. :)
