Sounds like an interesting documentary.
These so called “studies” mean only one thing to me.
It is another “study” to back up the rationing boards in Obamacare when they deny you treatment that you used to have.
Many sinus infections result in secondary infections and they know it.
Obamacare will take all of the wonderful advancements in medicine and smash them. Only the chosen ones will get good treatment.
If you use herbal remedies, do you ever use turmeric or oregano oil?
My son has sinus trouble that drives him to the doctor exactly once a year, the same month every year. This tells me that it’s most likely not a bacterial infection if it’s an infection at all. (Clearly, something is pollinating at the time.) The symptoms are worse than just a stuffy or runny nose and sneezing. He feels sick enough to go to bed.
Would echinacea and golden seal be useful, in your opinion?
Squirt the saltwater up your nose with a plastic squeeze bottle. It works wonders for sinus problems. I have not had a cold, flu, or other illness since I started taking 2,000 IU of Vit D3 twice a day. Build up your immune system and prevent ilnnesses.

We use oil of oregano at the first sign of any viral problem. It is a very strong anti viral and anti biotic. We also use colloidal silver and food grade hydrogen peroxide.
“Many sinus infections result in secondary infections and they know it.”
That’s me. I almost always end up with strep throat or an ear infection or both.
Hubby is fond of saying, at such times, that my head is infected.
LOL. Mine will say, “she is sick in the head”.
I am really getting a scary feeling that if Obozocare isn’t repealed, we are going to have a terrible nightmare with getting decent medical care.
We will have long waits, then we will finally get in to some 3rd rate doctor or nurse only to be told to go home, take an aspirin, and drink water.
If you don’t improve, you will have a long wait again and still get nothing to help.
I can’t believe this has happened to us. America will no longer have good medical care and access to medicines we need without some rationing board determining our fate.
My remedy is to make a piece of buttered toast. Crush a clove of raw garlic on the toast and spread it into the butter. Have a full glass of water ready before eating.
Well if you or anyone else is interested it is viewable on HULU for free: Under Our Skin Just follow that link and watch it. Its around two hours long and very informative!
There are many good Docs on Hulu I also Recommend "Strange Culture" and "The Cartel"... Real Eye Opening stuff. It has spurred me to do further research in all three subjects!
Thanks for the info. I will check them out!
The Echinacea/goldenseal mix is also used in herbal medicine for colds and flu, so it might be helpful. However, if you are hesitant, he might try washing his sinus out with a nasal irrigator as soon as he has the first symptoms. (Always using sterilized water with the recommended salt & soda solution.) You can find them in most drugstores or Walmart.
I’ve only used turmeric in combination with St. John’s Wort for inflammation such as when I’ve pulled a muscle. I’ve not used oregano oil.
He takes my blood pressure.
If it is high then bacterial, if normal then viral.
My husband is the same way.
Granted that a two person study group is not a very large group I have to wonder if this is true for other people.
I know of no research on this, but personally, it works for me. That, and regular saline irrigation.
