Why Antibiotics Are NOT the Answer

LOS ANGELES, CA, Apr 29 (MARKET WIRE) --
According to the Centers for Disease Control, 30.7 million Americans get
sinus infections every year -- roughly 14 percent of the population --
and it accounts for nearly 13 million doctor's visits and 1.4 million
trips to the emergency room.

"It's not uncommon to get a sinus infection in January, treat it with
antibiotics, get another one in March, treat it with antibiotics, and then
get another one in May," said Dr. Murray Grossan, author of "Free Yourself
from Sinus and Allergy Problems - Permanently" from Hydro Med, Inc.
(www.drgrossan.com), and an expert in sinus infections. "The reason so
many persons have one infection after another is that their nasal cilia
were not treated to remove bacteria."

Dr. Grossan's concern is that the most common treatment method is to throw
antibiotics at the infection, while ignoring the treatment of the nasal
cilia.

"Sinus disease and Allergy are worse today, despite drugs," Dr. Grossan
said. "Keep in mind, most every airborne bacterium enters our system
through our noses and the first line of defense is the nasal cilia.
Keeping them healthy and restoring them after an infection is the key to
preventing sinus infections."

He added that you can get well with measures to remove bacteria, restore
cilia function without harmful drugs or surgery. Some helpful
tactics
include:

-- A simple procedure that can be done at home, called pulsatile
irrigation, restores cilia, removes bacteria and pollen and massages the
nasal tissue to bring good white cells.

-- Drinking good old fashioned tea with lemon and honey can restore nasal
cilia.

-- Chicken soup isn't a myth -- it also helps restore nasal cilia.

-- Chanting "ooooommmm," vibrates and pulsates the cilia, helping to
restore them and make them healthy.

-- Mental relaxation increases natural healing. Relaxation and smiling
raises all immune factors and reduces inflammation.

"As antibiotics become less and less effective in treating infection
because the new bacterial strains are becoming more and more resistant to
those drugs, it's important for us to take steps to prevent infection,"
Dr. Grossan said.
