Guest guest Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Xclear spray from health stores or online and also other things that works for colds Good luck Natalia Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone with Nextel Direct Connect [ ] Sinus Infection Remedies? Hello, My 2 y.o. son has a nasty sinus infection with lots of mucus in his nose and his throat. The doctor can not offer anything but antibiotics of course. Is there anything else I can do? Definitely don't want to do antibiotics. Humidifier and saline drops don't seem to help. Any natural remedies? Thank you for your advice.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Manuka honey 16+ is what most of my family is taking. Something went around in my family that looks like sinus infection or strep but antibiotics didn't help my daughter or my grandma. I have 6 family members now taking the honey and seems to keep whatever it is at bay. I know it sounds off the wall, and the other people hear probably have some tried and true remedies, but this stuff killed whatever we had going around. Of course it is honey, so be careful of allergies. ________________________________ From: natkrupnik <natkrupnik@...> Sent: Sat, March 6, 2010 9:21:07 AM Subject: [ ] Sinus Infection Remedies?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I tried Manuka honey (the real deal. Expensive.) for a month and it didn't seem to do anything. I never bought another container because of the cost/benefit. I was hoping for more. I'm glad it worked for you. The first time I tasted it, I really thought there was something there... it has an underlying taste of tea tree oil. I'm sure it works for some people, I just couldn't see any change. Boo. Maybe I'll try it again next cold/flu season. I took it in the summer without any real illnesses going around except for the dreaded, deadly, end-of-the-world H1N1. I didn't catch it.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 You can make your own xylitol-saline rinse. There is a recipe here: http://healthgazelle.com/xylitolsalinesolution.shtml Adding xylitol to a saline rinse makes it dramatically more effective at killing infection. Xylitol is a simple sugar. It has no drug side effects. Xylitol-saline rinses (and nebs) were important to me at one time to help me get off all the drugs I used to take and begin improving my baseline health. I have found that wiping out the ears and nose with q-tips that have have had distilled water poured over them is very effective and very gentle. It is not enough by itself is remarkably helpful. Try combining it with a systemic antimicrobial like vitamin A, vitamin E, OLE, and possibly OoO (OoO helps with fungus and certain infections, it is not as broad spectrum as OLE and is stronger tasting, so not as kid-friendly I would think). Buy some tonic water and pour a little into his juice. By itself, it is probably not enough. Combine with a couple of other natural remedies, it can be very helpful combatting infection. Quinine is a natural anti-infective -- an extract from the bark of a tree. HTH.

The doctor can not offer anything but antibiotics of course. I have had these myself. They were caused by yeast for me. I increased my biotin and GSE, and the problem went away. If they were caused by bad bacteria, I would use OLE and OoO. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
