Madison, Wis., January 27, 2003?There?s good news for the reported 37 million Americans who suffer from sinusitis, today the nation?s most chronic disease. Add to that number the people who deal with post-nasal drip, allergies, common cold, coughs and congestion, and you?re talking about virtually 100 percent of the population. SinuCleanse, a product developed by a Madison-based physician, is an innovative, yet simple solution for breathing easier.

The prevalence of chronic sinus problems and the trend to more drug-free treatments are prompting some sinus sufferers to seek fast, effective treatments like SinuCleanse nasal irrigation system.

SinuCleanse was developed by Wisconsin-based ear, nose and throat specialist, Dr. Diane Heatley, who supports the drug-free treatment. SinuCleanse uses an unbreakable plastic pot and gravity?a centuries-old yoga method of nasal irrigation?to put a pre-packaged saline solution through nasal passages. The product has proven to be effective, economical, easy to use and works instantly.

According to Dr. Heatley, her patients are so improved after using the SinuCleanse System that ?many are able to discontinue antibiotics and other medications, while the number of patients requiring surgery for constant nasal symptoms has dramatically decreased.?

The efficacy of SinuCleanse is supported by the results of a recent study conducted at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and published in the December issue of the Journal of Family Practice. The study found that nasal irrigation may be most effective at treating sinus infections. The study also proved that that the drug-free daily saline nasal irrigation method improves sinus-related quality of life, decreases symptoms, and decreases medication use in patients with frequent sinusitis.

Dr. David Rabago, the study?s primary researcher and fellow in the Department of Family Medicine at the UW Medical School, said the saline solution treatment should be encouraged by physicians. Patients who used nasal irrigation, said Rabago, experienced significant improvement and reported fewer headaches, less congestion, less use of antibiotics and fewer side effects.

?In this era of increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics worldwide,? said Dr. Heatley, ?alternative treatments for common ailments like sino-nasal disease can make a dramatic impact. The nasal wash shows us that ancient wisdom can translate to scientifically proven Western medicine and work to improve our health overall.?

The SinuCleanse system is available at Walgreens and other fine pharmacies in the Madison, Wisconsin area, by calling toll-free 1-888-547-5492, or on the SinuCleanse website at www.sinucleanse.com.
