Hi,
My name is M. E. and I have product that will help you. I know from my own experience of having sinus problems and tons of allergies, I found my comfort. I have been taking a supplements called OPC-3 and vitamin C (they are powder supplements that you can mix with water) it tastes like a fruit juice shot. It cleanses you out and also help with sinuses and allergies. Call me if you would like to get more info cell ###-###-####.

Hi MH H,
My husband and son have awful allergies (husband has environmental and my son has environmental and food allergies). We have found great success with several vitamins and herbs from Shaklee. My husband suffered for years and now is not on any medications. My son was prescribed meds, but I was reluctant to give him medications with such scarry side effects at the age of 2 (he's now 5).

Doctors want to push the drugs and know very little about alternative/natural treatments.

Please let me know if you would like information on what our family uses.

I just listened to a CD put out by a biochemist and a certified nutritionist on this topic. They shared about results that people have gotten using suplements by Shaklee.
Allergies are caused by a weakened immune system that over reacts to certain things in the air, etc.
Shaklee's immune booster is created by the man who first discovered interferon in the body, which is what regulates the immune system. He spent 40 years finding a natural way to boost interferon production, and the result is Shaklee's nutriferon.
Other things that they mentioned on the CD were alfalfa and vitamin C. Garlic is good too, as it is nature's antibiotic.
You can find the shaklee stuff here:

Hello,
When I have a problem with sinus I use Sinusalia by BOIRON. It is a homeopathic medicine that works wonders. You can find it at Vitamin Shoppe. As the allergies goes there are wonderfull homeopathic drops from a company called bioAllers, they make drops for Tree Pollen allergies, Mold and Dust i.t.d. You can also find that at Vitamin Shoppe. Good luck-A. ;-)

As posted below the neti pot can really help. Also make sure to have a clean air home environment. If you have central air/heat have the vents cleaned and get a Hepa filter for your bedroom.

Give the neti pot a try! I bought mine at Walmart, and have since seen them at Walgreen's, CVS, etc. That flushes out your sinuses and helps you breathe better! One day, I left for work-related travel and forgot my neti pot. I bought a product called Simply saline, and it worked just the same. It's saline in a pressurized spray bottle, and it helps to flush out allergens and loosen mucus when you're congested.

Good luck!

I suffered from allergies & chronic sinus infections for over 30 years.
I tried specialists, a chiropractor, had my sinus's x-rayed & washed,tried Chinese herbs, homeopathic remedies & acupuncture.
Out of desperation I sought the help of a hypnotist. She helped me discover the connection between my emotions & physical symptoms.
Now I maintain a healthy immune system with the help of echinacea, bee pollen & Omega supplements.

Last year I was had a new sinus infection every month. Just when one was gone I'd have about a week of freedom and then it would it me again. I did not like taking all the antibiotics all the time. So I started using a netipot. Whole foods and other health food stores have them. It looks like a genie pot. There are directions in the box. Buy the netipot salt as well. I would use it two times a day, am and pm. It cleans out your nasal and sinus passages. So it helps prevent the infections. But it shortens an infection if do get one. No we have a friend who told us that nine times out of time a sinus infection will clear up on it's own. We never wait to find out because after a few days of the symptoms we go to the doc and get meds. If you don't get meds it will clear up, you will have the symptoms for about 10 days. I found that suffering through two sinus infections I am now sinus infection free. I haven't had one for a year. This is the time last year that since September I had two. I believe now that my body has fought some off on it's own it is better able to do it and doesn't need the meds. I've know of a hand full of people who have done the netipot and they prefer it so much better than meds.
