"For example, it's not uncommon for a chronic fatigue patient to report having had repeated attacks of sinusitis. When this is the case, I ask the patient if he or she has problems with stuffed nose, postnasal drip, and pain or pressure in the face. Answering yes suggests the existence of chronic sinusitis, and then I try to confirm that diagnosis by doing a CT scan of the sinuses, which are located just under and above the eyes. The scan can reveal radiographic evidence of chronic sinus infection, usually seen as a thickening of the sinus linings." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"I was stressed, had insomnia and sinusitis, and slept three hours a night. I retired from the fire department because of the accident and joined a support group. Today I am vegetarian, organic, and juicing, and am no longer suffering with sinusitis, hypertension, or asthma. My black hair is returning, my skin is lovely, and my vision has improved. I sleep six hours a night and am calm and happy. My family has joined a food coop. My vitality and energy have zoomed up. I work out in an adult ballet class, study flamenco, and will perform in a recital." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Chronic sinusitis, even if mild, can also be an underlying factor in asthma. If it is, often the asthma will not improve until the sinusitis is treated. Many cases of sinusitis occur after the onset of a cold. Hay fever and food allergies, especially a sensitivity to milk and dairy products, are common sources of allergic sinusitis. Exposure to environmental pollutants, including cigarette smoke, can also predispose a person to allergic sinusitis, as can nasal polyps." - Janet Zand, LAc, OMD, Allan N. Spreed, MD, CNC, James B.

"Smoking, irritating smells or fumes, nasal injuries, and growths in the nose may cause chronic sinusitis. sinusitis can also be caused by allergic reactions, particularly to dairy products and airborne allergens. (See allergies.) Symptoms can include but are not limited to nasal congestion, fever, facial pain, headache, earache, toothache, general malaise, cranial pressure, clear or green/yellow mucus discharge, and a loss of the sense of smell." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"The causes of sinusitis (and catarrh or mucus—are the same). No catarrh, no sinusitis, naturally... "If you will keep in mind the fact that internal filth or intoxication is the only cause of sinusitis I am sure the remedy for all degrees and types of the condition will suggest itself at once ... If now suffering from an acute and recent attack of sinusitis, stop everything and clean house first of all. "On arising, or at any time when the stomach is empty, take 3 heaping tablespoonfuls of epsom or glauber salts ... to thoroughly flush out the body fluids as quickly as possible." - Ben Davis, Rapid Healing Foods (Get the book.)

"Recommendations include ascertaining the underlying cause of the sinusitis, ingesting hot liquids to relieve congestion and promote mucus flow, using various drainage techniques, and avoiding mucus-producing foods, such as dairy products. Enzymes can be used to support digestion and nutrient absorption, reduce excess mucus, and combat the symptoms of allergies." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"The two most common respiratory infections are sinusitis and bronchitis. Sinusitis is a chronic inflammation of the nasal passages. It can cause fatigue, headaches, and eye and teeth problems, and can lead to serious bacterial infection. Problems with the upper teeth can precipitate sinusitis, which can in turn bring on a bacterial infection in the lungs. sinusitis can also be a frequent cause of bronchitis, because it acts as a nursery for certain bacteria that drop into inaccessible recesses of the lungs and create infections." - Ronald L. Hoffman, M.D., Intelligent Medicine: A Guide to Optimizing Health and Preventing Illness for the Baby-Boomer Generation (Get the book.) "This explains how someone can have chronic sinusitis and asthma at the same time, both of which have allergic, infectious, and inflammatory components. The two most common respiratory infections are sinusitis and bronchitis. Sinusitis is a chronic inflammation of the nasal passages. It can cause fatigue, headaches, and eye and teeth problems, and can lead to serious bacterial infection. Problems with the upper teeth can precipitate sinusitis, which can in turn bring on a bacterial infection in the lungs." - Ronald L.

"Mucous Congestion Mucous congestion is a detoxification of the lungs and sinuses associated with sinusitis, nasal discharges, headaches, earaches, eye pain and fatigue. Mucus acts to both protect the system, by acting as a buffer for the sensitive internal organs, and as a transporter of toxins out of the body - typically through the lungs, mouth and sinuses. Anyone with a mucous problem should avoid raw or cooked dairy products of all types. Dairy products are notorious mucus-formers. Simply avoiding all dairy products is often found to eliminate sinusitis." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.)

"He had a history of recurrent infections, including sinusitis and bronchitis. He had evidence of immune deficiency, which improved with IV-gamma globulin. He was also discovered to have PANDAS, characterized by facial tics, especially of his mouth. These were more pronounced when he had acute strep infections. In addition, he also had evidence of autoimmunity to his brain, as indicated by the presence of elevated levels of antimyelin basic protein antibodies." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"However, a person who has had previous sinus problems or whose sinuses have been weakened for any of the reasons mentioned here is already at high risk for developing sinusitis. The following agents are involved: the common cold, cigarettes and other sources of smoke, air pollution, dry air, cold air, fumes, allergies, occupational hazards, dental problems, immunodeficiency, malformations, and emotional stress. THE COMMON COLD The story of what has become a lifetime of sinus problems usually began with the common cold." - Robert Ivker, Sinus Survival: The Holistic Medical Treatment for Allergies, Asthma, Bronchitis, Colds, and sinusitis (rev., 3rd ed.)

Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"The treatment for acute bronchitis should therefore include all of the medicinal herbs (garhc, echinacea, goldenseal), vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that I have recommended for acute sinusitis. I also make the same suggestion regarding antibiotics as I have for sinus infections. If you have acute bronchitis (or take an antibiotic for another reason) once or twice a year, then it's fme to treat your infection with an antibiotic along with the natural regimen. Remember to take acidophilus along with the drug." - Robert Ivker, Sinus Survival: The Holistic Medical Treatment for Allergies, Asthma, Bronchitis, Colds, and sinusitis (rev., 3rd ed.) (Get the book.)

"Many cases of sinusitis occur after the onset of a cold. Hay fever and food allergies, especially a sensitivity to milk and dairy products, are common sources of allergic sinusitis. Exposure to environmental pollutants, including cigarette smoke, can also predispose a person to allergic sinusitis, as can nasal polyps. The most reliable way to diagnose sinusitis is by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or ultrasound scan, though computerized tomography (CT) scans can be adequate. X-rays are sometimes useful, but can be misleading." - Janet Zand, LAc, OMD, Allan N. Spreed, MD, CNC, James B.

"How does your immune system distinguish bacteria-induced food poisoning from normal intestinal bacteria, and sinusitis from normal nose bacteria? ?Does your immune system get a crash course in knowing when something needs repair or what the maintenance schedule is? 139 ?Exactly how can your immune system tell the good guys (normal cells) from the bad guys (cancer)? The beauty of the immune system is its ability to distinguish what is inherently you and what's not you and poses a threat." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"With your body prepared to fight off any sinus attack, you won't need to worry about sinusitis again. Healthy habits Keeping your sinuses moist and clear can disarm your sinusitis. Try these tips for sinus success. • Dissolve half a teaspoon of salt in 8 ounces of warm water. Use a bulb syringe to gently flush your nose twice a day. • Drape a warm, wet washcloth over your sinuses or lean over a steaming sink to clear up your airways. • Don't blow your nose. This can send bacteria into your sinuses. Take an antihistamine instead. • Let the tears come." - The Editors of FC&A, Unleash the Inner Healing Power of Foods (Get the book.)

"Today I am vegetarian, organic, and juicing, and am no longer suffering with sinusitis, hypertension, or asthma. My black hair is returning, my skin is lovely, and my vision has improved. I sleep six hours a night and am calm and happy. My family has joined a food coop. My vitality and energy have zoomed up. I work out in an adult ballet class, study flamenco, and will perform in a recital. I also roller blade, spin cycle, and study toward a rabbinical career. DAVID My wife and I listened to health programs on the radio for two years." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Because of the change of blood flow to the nose, chronic nasal congestion is very common and so is sinusitis. People get antibiotics for these from their doctors and then they get yeast or Candida overgrowth. I say avoid antibiotics if you have chronic fatigue. Zinc lozenges are effective—at least 10 milligrams of zinc five to eight times a day during the infection. Vitamin C should be boosted to high levels—anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 mgs a day. Use nasal rinses—half a teaspoon of salt and a cup of lukewarm water, sniffed maybe an inch up each nostril." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"I reintroduced intravenous immunoglobulin as a treatment for several conditions, including his neuroimmune disorder, with its history of neurodevelopmental delays; hypotonia; regressive encephalopathy; PANDAS; and humoral immune deficiency, with recurrent infections (including otitis, sinusitis, bronchitis, and strep). He also had evidence of bowel dysbiosis, and multiple food sensitivities. He had previously improved on both antifungals and antibiotics, and responded extremely well to IV-glutathione, coupled with IVsecretin. After these treatments, his mother would note a "big perk up." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Stress is a huge emotional burden, so it is no surprise to find that many common stress-based disorders such as PMT, eczema, acne, psoriasis, chronic fatigue syndrome, digestive disturbances, insomnia, sinusitis, headaches, muscular aches and pains respond well to aromatherapy. Stress is also a trigger for asthma, so aromatherapy can play a part in its treatment too. The antifungal and antibacterial properties of essential oils also supply the asthmatic with protection against airborne viruses and bacteria." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Myrrh: Use resin, tincture, oil, or powder for an antibacterial action that relieves sinusitis, respiratory congestion, asthma, coughs, and colds. Gargle with myrrh tea for irritated mouth or throat. Caution: Large amounts of myrrh may cause laxative action, sweating, vomiting, kidney problems, and rapid heart rate. • Nettle: Use tincture, dried leaves and stems, or in capsule form to relieve hay fever, coughs, runny nose, chest congestion, asthma, and whooping cough. Cau-tion: Excessive amounts of nettle may cause stomach irritation, constipation, or burning skin." - Debra Fulghum Bruce, The Sinus Cure: 7 Simple Steps to Relieve sinusitis and Other Ear, Nose, and Throat Conditions (Get the book.)

"Even if you don't have an allergy to cow's produce that causes asthma many other problems have been linked to cow's milk intolerance or allergy, including eczema, sinusitis, catarrh, hay fever and gastrointestinal illnesses. It is wise to reduce or limit the amount of cheese, cream and other dairy products in the diet. Adults should restrict milk to a maximum of 250 ml per day and substitute water or fruit juices for their daily fluid intake. Because of its excessive carbohydrate content, lessen your reliance on refined sugar." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"For example: arthritis, colitis, bronchitis, sinusitis, prostatitis, and pancreatitis." "Where did Wobenzym come from? " Dr. Shyler L. Neveaux, AP: "This product comes from Germany where it outsells aspirin for pain relief and inflammation reduction. Inflammation is the body's first response defense but it gets out of control, which is why Vioxx was so popular. Using Wobenzym controls inflammation and pain, enhances the immune system, and detoxifies the body." "What technique do you use to get drugs out of the body?

"Immune and Inflammatory Imbalances Clayton had asthma, allergies, hives, sinusitis, itchy skin, canker sores, a history of intolerance to baby formula, diaper rash, and frequent ear infections. These are all clear evidence of immune and inflammatory imbalances. These should not be thought of as separate conditions but rather one immune system highly annoyed by one or more triggers such as food or environmental allergens, molds, toxins, chronic low-grade infections, or perhaps a combination of these factors." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"With acute sinusitis, pain, and sometimes swelling, will occur in the region of the affected sinus (Figure 3-1). This usually results from air, pus, and mucus being trapped within the obstructed sinus. An infected maxillary sinus will cause pain, and sometimes sweUing, in the cheek. Pain might occur under the eye and in the upper teeth, particularly the molars. At times, the toothache can be so severe as to prompt a visit to the dentist." - Robert Ivker, Sinus Survival: The Holistic Medical Treatment for Allergies, Asthma, Bronchitis, Colds, and sinusitis (rev., 3rd ed.) (Get the book.)

"I have sinusitis and allergies. ? I have bronchitis or asthma. ? I have dermatitis (eczema, acne, rashes). ? I suffer from arthritis (osteoarthritis/degenerative-wear and tear). ? I have an autoimmune disease (rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, hypothyroidism, etc.). ? I have colitis or inflammatory bowel disease. ? I have irritable bowel syndrome (spastic colon). ? I have neuritis (problems like ADHD, autism, mood and behavior problems). ? I have heart disease or have had a heart attack. ?" - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"Symptoms include the following: cold sores, fever, shivering, sneezing, runny nose, coughing, sinusitis, inability to keep warm and more. In Natural Hygiene, the misnomers flu and common cold are always replaced with the physiological reality: the body has reached its upper levels of toleration for toxins and is conducting an elimination. • The breath can become foul smelling. This is an olfactory indication of pollutants leaving the body in the form of toxic molecules in exhaled breath." - Susan E.

"It is also of use to bronchitis and sinusitis sufferers, for skin problems, stress-related problems, gastric ulcers and arthritis. Poor immunity, a reduced sense of taste and smell, night blindness, and dry skin and eyes, are signs of a Vitamin A deficiency. The best food sources of Vitamin A are animal and fish livers, kidneys, dark green and orange vegetables, egg yolk and milk. Beta-carotene is found in the yellow pigment of fruits and vegetables such as carrots." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)
