[size=4][b]Sinusitis Heartburn - Sinusitis and Biofilms - an Introduction - Part 1[/b][/size][hr]Why is it that some sinusitis sufferers do not respond to normal treatments, medications and surgical procedures and continue to come down with sinus infections regardless of the treatment they have been given? One answer to this question appears to be an atypical immune reaction to fungus, and topical anti-fungal therapies heave been developed by Mayo Clinic researchers. Another possible answer to this question has surfaced in the past couple of years: biofilms. This article is meant to be a brief introduction to biofilms and how they might be a factor in recurring sinus infections.
[size=large][b]Non-Medical Implications of Biofilms[/b][/size][hr]Biofilms are not just associated with medical conditions, however. In fact biofilms are ubiquitous and can form under the right conditions on almost any kind of surface, including metals, rock, and of course human tissue. Two common examples of biofilms are pond scum and dental plaque. Detrimental biofilms are the cause of billions of dollars in damaged products and equipment systems in such fields as food processing, water treatment and metal-working. The also cause damage by clogging household drains and water pipes. Their effects are not always harmful, however, for example when they attach to the roots of certain plants they seem to aid the transfer of nutrients from the soil to the plant. Also, they are used in sewage treatment facilities to help treat sewage water before it is released to the environment, and they are utilized sinus tachycardia: clearing up the mucus and the confusion water as well. We have also translated parts of this composition into French and Spanish to facilitate easier understanding of Chronic Sinus. In this way, more people will get to understand the composition.
[size=large][b]Definition, Description and Medical Implications of Biofilms[/b][/size][hr]What are biofilms and how to they resist normal treatments for sinusitis such as antibiotics? 'Biofilms are composed of microbal communities that are attached to an environmental surface. The microorganisms usually encase themselves in an extra-cellular polysaccharide or slime matrix'. In other words, biofilms are a collection of bacteria and other microbes that encase themselves in a sort of slime. It is apparently the slime material that protects the bacteria from being destroyed by antibiotics, for example. Biofilms have been shown to play a major part in other medical conditions involving chronic infections, such as cystic fibrosis, Legionnaire's Disease, and otitis media, the most common type of acute ear infection in children in the U.S., among others. In addition, they can also form on medical implanted products such as stents, implants, catheters, and other devices. They appear to destroy cilia when present in sinusitis patients, and the loss of cilia is detrimental to the normal drainage system of nasal passages, so this is a serious issue since destroyed cilia cannot be replaced.

Colostrum will help prevent the onset of these conditions by its boosting effect on the immune system. It will therefore help to reduce the number of attacks you may suffer in the course of a winter, reduce the severity and duration of the attack and speed your recovery.
The incidence of respiratory infections and gastric upsets was remarkably reduced in breast fed infants, according to research. Colostrum was found to contain Non Specific Inhibitors (NSI's), factors that are inhibitory for a wide range of respiratory illnesses, especially influenza viruses.
[b]Colds Symptoms include: Nasal congestion; facial pain; headache; fever; general malaise; thick green or yellow discharge; feeling of facial 'fullness' worsening on bending over; aching teeth.[/b]
By affecting both individual components of human immunity and the immune system as a whole, the factors in colostrum work together to provide support for a healthy immune system, supporting, balancing, and even rebuilding some of the immune components for a more fully functional system. In this way, colostrum strengthens all the troops, helping with the continual battle against invaders of all types.
You can also reduce your susceptibility to cold viruses by keeping your stress levels in check. Emotional stress depresses your immune system, so a virus can easily sneak in and infect you. Relieve sinus pressure, you help reinforce your body's immune defences.
Sometimes physicians prescribe antibiotics even if they cannot confirm a bacterial infection. The reasoning for this is that it is very difficult to ascertain whether bacteria are causing the sinusitis, and that it may be worth it to prevent a bacteria infection from appearing later. As with any medication, it is important to know the benefits, risks, and costs if using and if not using an antibiotic.
Welch, who sees many cases of sinusitis in her part of country, recommends bovine colostrum as an immune system booster program. 'I suggest its use to any patient who needs an immunological pick-up,' she says. We would like you to leisurely go through this article on Sinusitis to get the real impact of the article. Sinusitis is a topic that has to be read clearly to be understood.
[size=large][b]Cold Viruses Spread in Two Ways: Through the Air and by Direct Contact[/b][/size][hr]To reduce your odds of playing host to a virus floating on the breeze, increase the ventilation in your home. There is a lot of jargon connected with Sinusitis. However, we have eliminated the difficult ones, and only used the ones understood by everyone.

[size=large][b](Shortridge Et Al[/b][/size][hr]Journal of Trop Pediatrics 36( : 94-95 The immune system, like every national defense system, can always benefit from a good secret weapon. Colostrum is that weapon. One of the reasons colostrum has been used so successfully by people with immune system disorders is because it has a particularly rich source of bioactive immune factors that help fine-tune immune function. Sometimes, what we hear about Sinusitis Bronchitis can prove to be rather hilarious and illogical. This is why we have introduced this side of Sinusitis Bronchitis to you.

Consideration If nasal secretions turn clear after a week, you probably do not have an infection; if the mucus is greenish or yellowish, you probably do. If secretions are clear and you have no other symptoms of a cold, you probably have allergies. It was at the spur of the moment that we ventured to write something about Sinusitis.

Quote:As a grown-up, you're most likely to catch a cold if you have kids or grandkids under the age of 5. Young children are magnets for colds because their immune systems haven't fully matured and because they haven't been sick often enough to build their defences against the 200 known cold-causing viruses. They pass their colds to their parents and grandparents, who can't resist snuggling up to under-the-weather tots.
