A letter to my patients and any patient that suffers from acute and chronic nasal, sinus, and upper respiratory problems and those who need to protect themselves from airborne germs.

My family practice is in a county in south Florida with one of the highest percentages of elderly in the country so my daily patient load consists of people with myriad symptoms and diseases. Patient nasal and sinus complaints often overshadow their concerns of heart failure, cancers, arthritis, and even family issues!

In the past I would listen to their primary upper respiratory complaint during visits and choose something they hadn’t tried, to try to help their symptoms. Many prescription products give partial relief but nothing really got them well and their other more threatening conditions really needed my attention, but many still insisted on my dealing with their upper respiratory complaints. Then along came SinoFresh!

My husband, an ENT physician, was asked to evaluate this new nasal spray that killed germs on contact that actually caused all the misery. He gave it to 20 consecutive patients that would have gotten the typical product shuffle and 2 weeks later 19 of the 20 patients felt better than ever. That was all I needed to hear but it was almost too good to be true! A product available over the counter, inexpensive, well tolerated, and real relief in a few days! Well, that was over 6 years ago and the SinoFresh product has never faltered. Patients who are seasonal residents here in Florida actually stockpiled it to make sure they had it up north. Word spread quickly from patient to patient, “try that SinoFresh!" Today, the SinoFresh Homeopathic Nasal Spray is better than ever and it actually kills MRSA and other increasingly important germs virtually on contact with just a few minty sprays per day. I tell my patients, "You brush your teeth everyday to keep your mouth clean and healthy, why not clean your nose if it helps you breath or makes your sinus problems feel better?"

Now, my husband and I with all the new contagious germs out there don't ever get on a plane or go to a crowded event without it. I could go on for hours with stories of patients who never found relief from anything else until they tried SinoFresh.

Another way I was able to see how it was working in my practice was when the distribution of the product was interrupted and patients couldn't find it. Most of those people returned to their prior miserable condition because other adjuncts to their treatment were for one symptom or another but nothing they tried made them forget what their nose and sinuses were like when they were using SinoFresh.

Now, SinoFresh is back thanks to our good friends at SinoFresh Healthcare Products, Inc., and when I hear "Doc, you've got to give me something for my nose and sinus”, I think SinoFresh first. The drainage, pressure, and blockage interfere with sleep and keep them miserable and they typically want an antibiotic. Most of these patients do not meet the criteria to get a prescription antibiotic. SinoFresh works fast! I love not having to worry about drug interaction with all the other medications they may be on because SinoFresh works topically on the membranes where the germs hide and grow. Other than occasional concerns about using a nasal spray or some rare momentary sensations related to the mild mints, I've seen no serious side effects in my patients in those 6 years. Believe me, I have some pretty fussy patients so I'm sure I'd hear about it!

Now, take this Doctor’s advice! Don't go to the nose and sinus aisle and try to pick one of 50 or 60 different products, just try SinoFresh first. Use it daily to clean your nasal and sinus passages and provide daily protection from airborne germs and pathogens. That's what I've told my patients for all these years, and believe me, I love a happy patient!

Wishing you good health,
