In our ongoing efforts to chronicle
sinusitis treatment success stories, the input below is from
Bruce Langdon of Monument, Colorado. Bruce had success, as did
I, using a natural sinus remedy, pulsating nasal irrigation with
a saline solution. You can read more about this procedure at
this link: Sinus Irrigation.
You can obtain the products necessary to perform this procedure,
including either the Hydro Pulse or Water Pik device here:
Natural
Sinus Remedy. The easiest way to start is to invest about
90 bucks and get the Hydro Pulse system as it has everything you
need to get going.
Here is Bruce’s story: |
“My sinus issues (minor deviated septum) became
worse after moving from Manhattan Beach CA to Monument CO. The elevation
and dryness of Colorado air along with my increased air travel for
business made me dread the first few days back in CO after a trip. I
have tried a few things like humidifiers to moisten the air, saline
spray, various meds like Flonase to reduce nasal swelling and
decongestants. One ENT suggested surgery, but second and third opinions
said no. A few years went by and in frustration I went to National
Jewish in Denver for their opinion, which again ruled out surgery. They
suggested the Neil Med nasal washes 2 x days. This was an improvement
over saline spray, but the water pik system (he calls it hydro pulse)
from Dr Murray Grossan that Walter Ballenberger referred me to has made
the most difference. You can get information on the hydro pulse and
sinus disease from Dr Grossan
here. Good
Luck!- Bruce Langdon.”
I happen to be acquainted with Bruce’s wife Naomi,
as we both attend exercise classes at our local fitness center. She
told me that prior to trying this system, Bruce was even talking about
moving from Colorado to a different location. To think that one’s sinus
problems could be so miserable as to make a person uproot their homes is
pretty drastic. I appreciate Bruce’s comments and the fact that the
natural sinus remedy irrigation system has helped him, and I hope others
can benefit from the advice on this site as well.
It should be pointed out that the Neil Med nasal
system that was recommended to Bruce by the doctors at National Jewish
in Denver is a squeeze bottle system. In subsequent emails to Bruce I
explained that I had tried this system as well, as it is easy to do when
on travel. Although this is another type of natural sinus remedy, I
found that it didn’t work anywhere nearly as well as the pulsating
system. Bruce agreed with me on this.
There is no silver bullet that works for
everyone’s sinus problems. If you, like me, have had treatment for
years by specialists, or even operations (I’ve had two of them, both
very painful), and continue to come down with sinus infections, it is
certainly worth the small investment to try a natural sinus remedy,
pulsating nasal irrigation. MedicineNet Allergies General
