I know that using a Nettie pot (which you can pick up at any major

pharmacy) will clean out your sinuses, and using a mixture of 2 tbsps

local honey and 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar daily will prevent sinus

issues related to seasonal allergies. However, if you truly have an

infection (thick yellow/green colored mucus or higher than normal

temps) you really need to call your doc. I know with my doctor I can

usually call him when I know that it is an infection and he will call

in a script for me (I do have a long-standing close dr/patient

relationship with him though.) Especially with asthma. A sinus

infection can cause flare ups with your asthma. Sorry I couldn't be

more help.

I agree, if your snot and mucus is thick and yellow, you are to the

point of needing an antibiotic.

I am currently researching the connection between good oral care and

upper respiratory infections. I am told there is a correlation I am

just looking for documentation on the subject.

Garlic -

Garlic is one of the best infection fighters available for both

bacterial and viral infections.

It is a natural antibiotic that does not appear to create resistant

bacteria strains.

In addition, fresh garlic extract has been shown to be virucidal to

many viruses.

Garlic possesses the ability to stimulate the immune system.

It can stimulate the activity of the macrophages (white blood

cells), which engulf foreign organisms, such as: viruses, bacteria,

and yeast.

Furthermore, garlic increases the activity of the T-helper cells

(immune cells which are central to the activity of the entire immune

system).

Garlic may be particularly effective in treating upper respiratory

viral infections due to its immune-enhancing properties and its

ability to clear mucous from the lungs.

It destroys and/or inhibits various bacteria and fungi, with an

antibacterial action equivalent to 1% penicillin.

Garlic is effective against strep, staph, and even anthrax bacteria.

Onion -

Everything that's been said about Garlic can be said about onion.

Onions and garlic share many of the same powerful sulfur bearing

compounds that work so effectively as anti-viral and anti-bacterial

agents.

Ginger -

Ginger has been traditionally used to treat colds and flu.

Chinese studies have shown that ginger helps kill influenza viruses

(even avian flu), and an Indian report shows that it increases the

immune system's ability to fight infection.

Olive Leaf Extract -

Olive leaf extract has a long history of being used against illnesses

in which microorganisms play a major role.

In more recent years, a drug company discovered that in vitro (in a

test tube), an extract from olive leaf (calcium elenolate) was

effective in eliminating a very broad range of organisms, including

bacteria, viruses, parasites, and yeast/mold/fungus.

Oil of Wild Mountain Oregano -

Numerous studies have shown wild mountain oregano oil (not to be

confused with the oregano found in your kitchen) to be a potent

antimicrobial.

It has been proven useful as an antiviral, antibacterial, and

antifungal agent rivaling even pharmaceutical antibiotics such as

streptomycin, penicillin, vacnomycin, nystatin, and amphotericin in

its ability to eliminate microbes.

Remarkably it accomplishes this without promoting the development of

drug resistant strains and other problems often attributed to the use

of standard antibiotics.

In addition to this already impressive list of abilities Oregano Oil

is also a powerful parasitic expellant.

Grapefruit Seed Extract -

Grapefruit seed extract was originally developed as an antiparasitic,

but studies quickly showed that it had the ability to inhibit the

growth of not only parasites, but fungi, viruses, and bacteria as

well.

The active ingredients of grapefruit seed extract are non-toxic and

are synthesized from the seed and pulp of certified organically grown

grapefruit.

The process converts the grapefruit bioflavonoids (polyphenolics)

into an extremely potent compound that is being used to kill strep,

staph, salmonella, E. Coli, candida, herpes, influenza, parasites,

fungi, and more.
