Have you tried the Grosman nasal irrigator? It helps me a lot.

But mostly just cleared up on antibiotics for mycoplasma, and removing

mercury.

Hi

I have had great success with two approaches. For pollen allergies

and other inhalant allergies, I take Thorne brand HMC Hesperidin.

This is a bioflavonoid, like Quercetin (which some people prefer,

taken in combo with Bromelain for inflammation). The Hesperidin

takes a few days to two weeks to start working, but it is great.

It " erases " all symptoms of allergy for me (not environmental

" sensitivities " /poisoning responses which are different). No red

or itchy or watery eyes, no congestion, no sick feeling, etc.

Hesperidin is better than anti-histamines, safe and healthy, it

is also great for the cardiovascular system. Some folks take it

with food to avoid any possible stomach cramp like vit C will

sometimes do. Anti-histamines typically work by blocking the

receptor sites for histamine, so the histamine (which causes the

inflammation and allergy symptoms is still floating around in

your body). The Hesperidin actually prevents the histamine

release from your mast cells, so none if it is lose.

I start taking it in February to beat the lengthy pollen season.

For sinusitis, which is inflammation of the sinus tissues from

irritants like mold, I take Grapefruit seed extract. Read all

the info on it in the website address to follow. It is

anti-fungal/bacterial/protozoal, broad spectrum anti-biotic

that is also an antioxidant and safe for your intestinal flora.

It is nontoxic, comes in nasal spray, ear drops, or liquid or

tablets. Can be used around the home and garden for disinfecting

and killing mold. Good pet medicine, too.

I have had sinus problems since November and started taking

this stuff and now can breathe again.

http://www.nutriteam.com read all the GSE stuff.

I get it at my local grocery stores, but it is on sale now

at the above address.

Unfortunately I have no financial interest in this lol

Cheers Good luck

I think if you are hyped up Th2, other than being in a clean

room, very little will help in the way of removing allergens. I am

going to an ENT in the next 6 weeks because I have the same problem

as you do, always one side (left) blocked. I will let you know

what happens. I hear they can 'open up' the sinuses now somehow.

This is sign of inflammation.It gets better if you have less allergens

around.I got better after removing all my carpets but than I got worse

again.(I have a cat now and I smoke). Mt left side is always worse than the

right side meaning high left brain activity in eastern traditional

medicine.I am sure that this is correct as my left side always opens after a

good mediation.

Take care..nil

Dear

Just to add my comments/experiences to all the others.

I had a great deal of relief from blocked nose through

EDP at the Homeopathic Hospital in London and also the

Gossan Irrigator really works for me.

Kindest regards,

Annette

Dear all,

I used to sufer from really bad sinusitis, when I was placed on

thyroid hormones this disappeared completely. I assume this was due

to the alleviation of the problems with tissue swelling.

Aagh! Another thing (EDP) they don't do here (legally) in the states.

(Barclay - nice-sounding English name, by the way.) As far as the

irrigator, I'm not sure which one I've used off-hand - it's made by some

company in Florida, I think, and recommended by a chiro-naturopath over here

by the name of Poesnecker. Basically I flushed the nostrils with salt water

every night for 2 months or so, but it didn't seem to do any lasting good.

I don't know whether I was doing it enough. (For instance, I never did it

in the morning too.) What do you think? - N.

Hi

Thanks for the compliment. I usually use my Gossan

Irrigator at night with salted water and that normally

works for me.

Sorry to hear no EPD.

Kindest regards,
