how do you avoid the flu

What to do about the Flu – Dr’s Top 10 Tips for Flu Prevention

With the flu season fast approaching it’s important that you do what you can to avoid it – especially if you are within an at risk category based on your age or general health.  One thing alone will not be enough – for example you can’t expect a flu shot by itself to keep you immune.  We’ve compiled the top tips for flu prevention from Dr. Grossan a well known ENT at Cedars-Sinai, author of “The Sinus Cure.”

The key to preventing flu infection is to keep the immune system up. One reason we get flu in winter is the depression that comes with the dark days and cold. In fact, bright lights can actually brighten your outlook and help the immune system.  Depression is a serious flu-catching factor. Depression lowers the immune system, sometimes dramatically. You might be surprised to learn that collecting jokes to tell your friends can actually elevate your immune system. Watch humorous shows and rent comedies to boost your flu protection.

Good hand washing is also crucial, and simply using soap and water is best. Wash often to remove flu virus before you put your hands near your eyes, mouth or nose.  Sleep is paramount in keeping the immune system up. Try to keep an exact sleep schedule. To set your sleep clock, go to sleep at the same hour and practice the same habits every night – wash face, brush hair, brush teeth, etc. In addition, avoid a meal three hours before sleep.

Here’s the top tips in summary:

1.                  Before the flu season really hits, get the appropriate flu shot.

2.                  Fight off winter-time depression and boost your immune system by using bright lights, which actually brighten your mood and help protect your body.

3.                  Collect jokes to tell your friends, watch humorous shows and rent comedies to keep your mood positive and boost your flu protection.

4.                  Use a water soluble nasal gel, such as Breathe Ease XL, which coats the nasal tissue to prevent the virus from entering.

5.                  Put a pan of water in the bedroom; it will evaporate and moisten the air while you sleep.

6.                  Wash your hands with soap and water. Wash often to remove flu virus before you put your hands near your eyes, mouth or nose.

7.                  Try to keep an exact sleep schedule. Set your sleep clock by going to sleep at the same hour and practicing the same habits every night – wash face, brush hair, brush teeth, etc. In addition, avoid a meal three hours before sleep.

8.                  Drink lots of black or green tea, with lemon and honey (with or without caffeine). It contains antioxidants and a chemical called L-Theanine, which primes the immune blood cells.

9.                  If you will be travelling on planes, carry tea bags to drink on the flight and bring lots of tissues, for yourself or a sick neighbour.

10.              If your cough persists after the flu, be sure to get a bronchial inhaler from your doctor. This opens the chest and allows for mucus to exit more easily, and for air to get into the lungs.

We hope you weather the winter storms and stay healthy to learn more check out the Sinus Health Center.

hydropulse for allergies

 

What is Pulsatile Irrigation?
The hydropulse is a pulsatile sinus & nasal irrigation system that helps allergies, sinusitis, and sinus infections.

In the nose and chest there are millions of tiny hairs we call cilia. These are covered by a mucous blanket which contains all sorts of disease-fighting properties, enzymes, and good white cells. Normally bacteria and toxins are trapped in this liquid blanket. The cilia then move in one direction – a snap forward and a slow return – much like oars on a row boat – that moves this blanket. In the nose it is moved to the back of the throat and swallowed. In the chest it is moved up out of the chest.

Normally the bacteria enters the nose. It gets trapped in the mucous blanket and the cilia move that liquid to the back of the throat. It gets swallowed and the stomach acid disposes of that bacteria.

Unfortunately the cilia can slow down. When they do, the bacteria can multiply and result in an infection.

Cilia can also speed up. In acute allergy, when the pollen starts, the nose drips because the cilia are moving much faster. Many people get this when they take spicy soups. In allergy, the cilia speed up at first, but in the late stages – after sneezing for several weeks, they can be exhausted and slow down and that is when infection can take place.

When persons take an antibiotic for sinus infection, usually the antibiotic successfully kills the bacteria. But then an infection can re-occur in a few weeks if the nasal cilia have not returned to full speed.

Doctors were measuring cilia speed many years ago by putting particles of carbon paper in the nose and measuring the speed of those particles. Later, sophisticated counters measured the speed of movement of radio-active particles. A simpler, alternative method, “the saccharin test”, can be performed in any doctor’s office: Place a particle of saccharin in the nose and time how long it takes to be tasted. Normally the saccharin is tasted in 5-8 minutes. In sinus disease due to slow cilia, it is tasted in 25 minutes or longer.

Today we know that the benefits of tea ( black or green), and chicken soup are largely due to the cilia-stimulating effect that they produce. The ancient yogas used sound, “OOOOMMMMM” and the vibration of the air also stimulated cilia. There is even a device, similar to a toy kazoo, that is used to produce a vibration that helps cilia movement.

Another excellent method of the yogi is to gently and rapidly sniff salt water in and out the nose. This in-and-out movement can match the normal cilia speed and stimulate cilia movement. However, learning the exact gentle pressure, and the correct rhythm is very difficult. Instead of spending months learning to do this correctly, we use a mechanical device that produces a low pressure, and the correct frequency of pulsation – pulsatile irrigation of the nose and sinuses.

Pulsatile irrigation is the method that is easiest and has been shown to have advantages. A saline solution is prepared and the device is tested so that the pressure is set correctly at a safe level. As the pulsating solution passes in one nostril and out the other, and unwanted stale mucus is removed. The pulsation is at a rate calculated to get slow cilia moving.

As the solution flows past the sinus openings there is a Bernoulli or vacuum effect that pulls stale material out of the sinus to be replaced by the solution. This effect is enhanced by the pulsing action as well.

For the 37 million persons with sinus disease, use of these methods to improve cilia function can be a major benefit. If you have tried the tea and chicken soup and the “oooommmm”, ask your doctor about adding pulsatile irrigation to your therapeutic regime.

Oh, I almost forgot. A patient told me about another method of stimulating nasal and chest cilia: jumping jacks and jump rope! The jury’s still out on whether that produces a better clinical effect…I need to see more patients willing to do all the jumping.

The Grossan Hydro Pulse System effectively cleanses and clears your sinuses gently and pleasantly, a powerful tool for the maintenance of a clear & healthy sinus. –Without Drugs
What is it? The Grossan Hydro Pulse System produces a gentle, pulsating (not steady!) stream to cleanse & moisturize the sinuses, remove foreign matter, crusts, and other undesirable materials, and massage the cilia of the nose and sinuses to their normal, healthy state. A Hydro Pulse treatment is gentle, pleasant & soothing, and leaves you feeling clear and fresh. The system uses only saline, or better yet, it can use an enhanced nasal moisturizing solution – the Hydro Pulse is completely DRUG-FREE.

Pulsatile sinus irrigation has been shown in clinical tests to actually make the nasal and sinus cilia – the body’s first line of defense against foreign bodies entering the sinuses – move better after treatment, transporting mucous out of the sinuses faster. Does your treatment work with your body, or are you just getting some kind of temporary relief from congestion?
Pulsatile Sinus Irrigation is BETTER:

How is pulsatile different? Pulsatile sinus irrigation uses a gentle, pulsating (not steady!) stream of a saline or enhanced nasal moisturizing solution to moisturize the sinuses, remove foreign matter, and massage the cilia of the mucous membranes. The nasal and sinus cilia are the body’s first line of defense against contagions, foreign matter, particles, and allergens. These cilia, microscopic hairs, normally wave in a pulsing motion to get rid of foreign matter, sweeping them to the back of the throat, to be eventually eliminated in stomach acids. The pulsating stream causes cilia to pulsate with their natural motion, at the same time as moisturizing and cleansing, for proper maintenance of the cilia and membranes’ healthy state. Pulsatile sinus irrigation has been shown in clinical tests to actually make the body’s sinus disease fighting mechanism – the sinus cilia -move better after treatment, transporting mucous out of the sinuses faster.
Pots, bulbs, other methods of irrigation can be OK – if messy and difficult to use – but pulsatile irrigation is DIFFERENT; it actually makes the cilia move faster. The Hydro Pulse is also convenient – never messy – gentle, and pleasant.

The Hydro Pulse System is an extremely effective system for cleansing the nose and sinus, an effective tool for the maintenance of healthy nasal & sinus cilia. It’s simple & easy to use, in the privacy of your home. Never messy (like other methods), gentle and pleasant.
Drug-free Relief from Sinus and Nasal Congestion:

A pleasant, three-minute treatment is all you need to cleanse your sinuses, maintaining the healthy body’s natural disease fighting mechanisms, the cilia – not just treat symptoms.
Natural method – drug free treatment. Helps avoid overuse of antibiotics.
Over 300,000 users.

Prescribed and used by leading university medical centers.

In some cases, cleansing can prevent nasal damage caused by industrial dirt and toxins.
Written up in medical journals and books .

How the Hydro Pulse System® Works:

Saline (or much better, an enhanced nasal moisturizing formula such as Breath Ease XL is good for moisturizing the nose and sinuses. The pulsating action removes phlegm and maintains the healthy state of your body’s natural defenders, the nasal cilia. The Grossan Hydro Pulse®, used as directed, will deliver a stream of solution at a safe, comfortable pressure, which pulsates to maintain the nasal & sinus cilia in their healthy state.
Removes pus from the nose
Thins thick secretions
Washes away pollutants, toxins, allergens and dirt
Developed by a board certified Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist as a drug-free treatment to maintain good health of the sinuses, and proper motion of the nasal & sinus cilia.
Powerful 3-Way Breath Control
Studies have shown that phlegm from the nose(1), bacteria and material in the throat(2), and on the tongue(3), all contribute to breath problems. Sinus irrigation with the Hydro Pulse takes care of the phlegm from the nose. The throat irrigator tip, with special integrated tongue cleaner included in the system, takes advantage of the gentle but effective pulsatile action of the Hydro Pulse unit, for powerful and complete three way (nose, throat, and tongue) breath control.
Health Maintenance for the Throat
Because the pulsating action of the Hydro Pulse® cleans effectively at a low pressure, use of our throat tip is great for clearing thick mucous from the throat, especially thick mucous that can become stagnant in the crypts in the tonsils (such stagnant mucous is a likely site of bacteria). The swirling, pulsating stream from the throat tip also massages the tonsils, which promotes good circulation, necessary for optimum health, which includes having beneficial white blood cells in the area. The Grossan Hydro Pulse® comes with two throat irrigation tips for use by different members of the family. A drug-free method for maintenance of a healthy throat.
