Cold and Sinus Stuff

I have several patients who suffer from sinus problems and the occasional cold as well.
When these patients come in complaining of these problems, after reviewing everything, I often find that they can benefit from a natural supplement called Sinutrol. This is a supplement offered only through licensed healthcare professionals and is sold at our office.
Symptoms of Sinusitis:
1. Pain when the forehead is touched over the front may mean the frontal sinuses are inflamed
2. Infection in the maxillary sinuses can cause upper jaw and teeth to ache, and cheeks to be tender to the touch.
3. The ethmoid sinuses (near the tear ducts) when inflamed can cause swelling of the eyelids and tissue around the eyes. It can also cause tenderness in the sides of the nose, a loss of smell, and a stuffy nose.
4. Infection in the sphenoid sinuses can cause earaches, neck pain, and deep aching at the top of the head.

Get this:

A study performed in 1999 found that 93% of chronic Sinusitis patients studied also showed signs of a fungal infection. Antibiotics and most OTC products treat bacteria only, and do nothing to address fungal infection, leaving lots of patients without help and taking uncessary antibiotics! Frequent antibiotic use weakens the immune system and can also cause digestive upset. (always remember to use pro-biotics after a course of antibiotics to re-establish healthy bacteria levels in your body. We recommend OTC Culturelle, or OrthoBiotic sold at our office. Use for a minimum of 30 days)

The active ingriedients in Sinutrol are:

Thyme leaf: a poweful anti-fungal to address the strong possibility of fungus presence over bacteria in the sinuses.

Andrographis and Siberian Ginseng: immune inhancing to help the bodies own natural defences. Andrographis also helps to significantly reduce the severity, duration and symptoms of a common cold.

Turmeric and Bromelain: natures anti-inflammatory agents that help to address the immediate need for pain and pressure relief.

N-Acetyl Cysteine: a powerful mucolytic that helps break down the viscosity or thickness of mucous and allows sinuses to drain. This also helps make the sinuses a less optimal environment for bacteria and fungus to grow.

If you or someone you know are experiencing acute or chronic sinus problems, a cold, or sinusitis, please give me a call and you can experience quick natural relief without side effects or synthetic chemicals.
The makers of this product also offer a satisfaction guarantee, so there's nothing to lose but your sinus problems!

Blessings in health,
