Hydro-Pulse(TM) Treats Causes, Not Symptoms, of

Sinusitis and Allergies

HydroMed, the sinus cure company, announced today that Murray Grossan, M.D., a board-certified ear, nose and throat specialist, cures his patients' sinusitis, allergies and related problems without drugs by cleansing and massaging the sinuses with a gentle, pulsating stream of solution. Using over thirty years of medical expertise, Dr. Grossan created the Hydro-Pulse Nasal/Sinus Irrigation System -- the only system designed specifically for pulsating nasal irrigation, a natural technique originated with ancient yoga practices and successfully used as an alternative to costly prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications.

Clinical tests show that a pulsating solution in the nasal cavity improves cilia function and increases the body's own defenses against sinus problems. The pulsing action both cleans and recharges nasal cilia, which reduces inflammation, moisturizes the sinuses, and provides rapid relief from sinus discomfort.

"Pulsatile irrigation is medically proven to help alleviate sinusitis, allergy, and other related symptoms," said Dr. Grossan. "It works by removing the causes of sinus problems, such as allergens, bacteria, and fungus, and re-energizing nasal cilia. Used as a preventative measure, many of my patients are completely cured, without surgery or expensive medications."

TREATING THE CAUSE

Nasal irrigation with the Hydro-Pulse Nasal/Sinus Irrigation System is a drug-free, medically-proven method that actually helps the body use its own defenses to remove bacteria and other irritations before they cause sinus symptoms. Other approaches, including expensive decongestants and antihistamines, treat sinus symptoms after infection or allergic reactions have already occurred -- they don't treat the root cause.

NATURAL, HEALTHY SINUSES

Healthy sinuses have a layer of cilia -- tiny, hairlike cells in the delicate membranes of the nose and sinuses that rhythmically move mucous and other foreign materials to the back of the throat where they are conveyed to the stomach and eliminated by acids. Active cilia from the nose and sinus remove disease-causing bacteria, viruses, allergens, chemicals, and fumes. However, these particulates can often overload the body's defenses and impair cilia function, leading to irritation, clogged sinuses, sinus headaches, sneezing, post nasal drip, colds, upper respiratory infections, allergic reactions, and can trigger asthma attacks.

Hydro-Pulse rhythmically sends a gentle solution into the nasal cavity, which pulses at a similar rate to that of healthy nasal cilia. This periodic pulse cleans and recharges the mucosal layer of cilia, reducing inflammation and providing relief from discomfort associated with sinusitis and allergies.

The Hydro-Pulse system is a holistic, additive- and preservative-free treatment, so it avoids the problems that drugs can cause, such as sleepiness, dry mouth, or a medicated feeling. OTC saline often contains harsh chemicals and preservatives that can irritate mucous membranes. Many popular medications can dry out delicate sinus tissue; some drug therapies can even paralyze cilia, the body's most important protection against sinus problems.

The Hydro-Pulse system includes a starter supply of Breathe-Ease XL, which consists of sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, and Xylitol, a natural sugar that aids the body's defenses against harmful bacteria. Using the Hydro-Pulse system with Breathe-Ease XL and water effectively moisturizes the sinuses and brings relief to sinusitis, allergy, and cold sufferers. Unlike plain water, Breathe-Ease XL is similar to the body's natural salinity and electrolyte composition so there is no discomfort with use; it is gentler than a plain saline rinse.

The Hydro-Pulse Nasal/Sinus Irrigation System is available for $89, which is less than a week's worth of prescription medication, and can be found online at www.hydromedonline.com, at the drugstore, or ordered through a pharmacist. Because it is an FDA-listed nasal irrigator with 37 medical reference articles that recommend its use, the system is often covered by medical insurance. It should be used with a solution such as Breathe-Ease XL, HydroMed's additive- and preservative-free solution designed specifically for nasal irrigation.
