My mom, who would have turned 99 this year, would not take me to the doctor when we had cold symptoms. She said all they want to do is give you an antibiotic and if you take antibiotics for something like a cold then when you really need it for something serious, it won’t work! She also said we needed get over things on our own to build immunity.

There's a 3-5% chance that you're wrong.

Israeli doctors in the 1980s discovered that the rhinovirus dies when heated to 102°. To eliminate a viral sinus infection break out your hair dryer put it under your nose and breathe the warm air for like 5 to 10 minutes as long as you feel it's necessary and do this a couple of times during the day. I have told friends about this and use it on myself and within a few hours maybe 10 hours or less you will notice that your nose clears up, it's not running anymore, that's because the hot air from the hair dryer has killed the virus that's in your nose. The nose is running because the body is trying to flush the virus out. This is real, it always works and that's the truth. Dr Berry is the best but I wanted him to know about this.

I’m sorry, but either you have not experienced it, or prefer not to bring it up for some other reason, but you’ve not mentioned the one thing that has helped life-long (and in 73 years, I’ve had a lot of head colds and sinus infections) and even today. This time-honored method is the Steam Tent. Find your biggest mixing bowl and a large (but not thick or cumbersome) towel. It must be almost bath sized to cover head and neck. Then you need an old fashioned kettle full of water. Boil the water. If you have no kettle, use a large pot. Pour enough to fill your mixing bowl about 2” short of the rim. Carry the bowl to your kitchen table; the towel should be already spread out on the back of the chair. A second towel set under the bowl would not come amiss. Make sure any pets or small children are out of the way for 15-20 minutes-scalding water is potentially risky! By “out of the way”, I mean baby in crib, toddler in play pen, dogs or other pets in another room, ideally another adult to supervise. Pull the towel over your head. Center your face over the water. Tuck towel under chin so neck skin won’t get too hot. Now this is important: hold the towel open a little at first, to let in some cooler air, until you get used to breathing steam. It will be hot, maybe even painful to breathe at first. Breathe in through your nose, and back out also through your nose. Alternate with breathing in through open mouth, deep into chest. As air cools down, close the towel and breathe the steamy air slowly and deeply in and out. It’s peaceful-like a meditation. After 15 minutes you will have the most benefit and can stop. Push your damp hair away from your face, dry your face with the towel. Your eyelids will probably be a little red and tender. This will pass. Carefully get up, steady yourself, and dump the still-very-hot water in the sink. Phew! The steam shrinks swollen nasal passages. You might need to blow your nose a lot afterwards, or even during. It should help a lot with clearing your head. If one side is stopped up, breathe through the side that works. Very good to do in the morning if your sinuses are aching. Also very good before bed. It can stimulate a real cleanout, so have plenty of tissues handy. My great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother used it on me at a VERY young age. It was frightening. But once a child is old and self-controlled enough to cooperate, it can be used on children, but only under strict supervision, and only for 5-10 minutes. One of the most soothing and comforting things to do in case of sickness. NOT FOR CHAOTIC HOUSEHOLDS. In must be done very controlled. Set a timer for 15-20 minutes. Sit down and pull your chair close

Amen … my go to as well. Unfortunately, I am very prone to bacterial sinus infections but the oil of oregano drops as well as nasal spray plus olive leaf are all antiviral/antibiotic/ as well as anti fungal. Sometimes they fully take care of my frequent sinus infections by themselves. If I still develop a full blown bacterial infection, they continue helping and I continue taking them along with antibiotic. But having taken SO many antibiotics, my gut microbiome has been severely compromised. I always try my very best to avoid the antibiotics because of my severe reactions to the antibiotics if at all possible!

Love the brutal honesty here! I wish a lot more doctors would be like this.

Who recognizes this: After a few days of eating some off-plan food during the holidays I suddenly had a drippy nose. It's not hard to figure out the cause and effect, often times. It only lasted an hour or so, luckily, but still. In my earlier years this was bound to develop into a serious sinus infection or worse, which I haven't had since the start of following a low carb diet.

Began using Afrin and sinus irrigation with warm salt water using a big syringe. Stopped having sinus infections but I became dependent on the Afrin for years.

Thanks for covering this, Dr. Berry!

Thanks for the advice!! My daughter is dealing with a sinus infection & I so needed to hear this!💕

I literary just got done with a major sinus and lung infection and you're exactly right. The three things that I needed most were rest, water, and electrolytes. You need the rest! Don't over exert yourself and you will lose a lot of water to mucus and whatever else your body does and my heart was working harder too so absolutely get some electrolytes; this helped a lot. Some sunlight and nice music or anything you can do to be as stress free as possible makes it more bearable and mind your posture because you'll notice it get harder to breathe with bad posture. Took me 4 days to get rid of it before a fever put the final nail in the coffin and spent a whole day spitting and blowing out mucus after it went away so I can suggest to continue to stay hydrated for a couple days after as well. Great video Dr. Ken Berry.

One other thing to do when you have a sinus problem is to stay away from dairy! Or minimize it! I'm surprised you didn't mention this.

You read my mind Ken! I have been struggling with a sinus infection since the beginning of November. I was doing my sinus rinses and just trying to wait it out. I gave in and took an old Rx I had for previous sinus infections because my face and teeth were killing me. I am 7 days into my antibiotic and its helped worlds for the face/teeth pain, but the side effects aren't pleasant at all. I haven't had to take an antibiotic in 8 years, hate them!

Funny you put this out when I'm dealing with sinus or what I thought was an infection. I've had bad ones over the years but not for a while now. I've hardly suffered from anything since going keto. But a week ago woke to intense pain in my sinus on the right side. Just as it has always been. Thing was there wasn't the swelling or nasal blockage as usual. What I found was a muscle or nerve starting at the base of my neck and running up to the base of my skull on the right side very tight and very sore. It continued around the side above my ear to my temple where is was intensely sore there as well. A hot shower and plenty of massaging finally eased the pain. Continued care given to my neck in the form of taking it easy and taking care how I have slept on it has almost gotten it straightened out. Pretty crazy. Absolutely the exact symptoms and pain of an infection but wasn't at all. Thank you Lord for helping me figure that one out!

My doctor tried to get me to take Cymbalta, claiming it's not addictive. I thought of a sentence in your book ... "let the eye-rolling and walking-out begin". Keep up the great work, Dr. Berry!

I used to get chronic sinus infections. I have been eating a ketovore diet for 8 months and have not had any sinus infections.

Love the idea of the hair drier. Wish i knew about it a couple of weeks ago when i had covid.. sounds very soothing.

Dr Berry’s advice is excellent as always. I caught a cold with sinus infection last month; rest, warm fluids esp. bone broth, nothing from the pharmacy, long gaps between (carnivore) meals - all symptoms gone in 10 days. One additional thing that helped me was a warm wheat bag to hold against my aching face - definitely soothing.

We live in a world that has been groomed with a lack of patience and are oblivious to the fact the body defending itself has to run it's course. Thanks for all of your common sense videos. Keep up the great work!

I have chronic nasal congestion, when I was off milk in coffee for a while I noticed an improvement and had some milk after a break and my congestion returned. I used to buy a certain spray which they removed from the shelves, I agree probably not helping long term.

When I stopped drinking milk, I noticed a dramatic reduction in congestion. Can still cream and cheese, but no more milk for me.

Fresh ginger juice diluted with water. Excellent anti viral. I make a tea with it.

Thanks Dr.Berry!! Hope you and your family have a wonderful New Year!!!

I used a neti pot once at the suggestion of a NP. It cleared my sinuses only to create the worst sore throat and tonsillar hypertrophy of my life. My husband and I are RN's (me BSN and him MSN) We want to thank you for the download on the proper human diet. I've been watching / listening to you and Neisha for years. I've lost 35 lbs since May this year. We've slacked over the holiday. However, we've put together a plan to get back on track now. I won't get into detail here but, you do know how hard it is keeping to a schedule when you're constantly flying by the seat of your health care professional pants. So, we are concentrating on the food itself; grass-fed and finished beef and pasture raised bacon from a very local E TN farm. We'll deal with the time issues as we go. A tide-us-over anytime of day cup of homemade broth from said meat will be added to our daily intake for those critical care getting our butts kicked events.

I typically take zicam as soon as I start feeling any cold symptoms coming on. I also will use antihistamines to dry up the drip and decongestants to relieve the pressure.

Dr. Berry, as a FM doc myself I've been recommending chicken soup and fasting to most of my uri and sinus payjents for the past year, finding the wisdom in our oral traditions (eg feed a fever, starve a cold). Glad to hear other docs, especially those more knowledgeable than I also supporting it.

This guy was spot on. A few weeks ago I started to come down with what I thought was just a sinus cold turn out to be a bit of a sinus infection from start to finish it was gone in about 10 days. No need to take much more action than just sort of the basic things we all grew up with. Get plenty of fluids get plenty of rest and let it take its course

Thank God for Dr Ken Berry and the rest of the doctors in his crew!

We use a nasal rinse too

Thank you Dr. Berry. I’m going through a sinus infection currently. Agree 100% on toughing it out. I found the sinus rinse each morning in a hot shower to help ease the symptoms and provide instant relief as my body fights the good fight. Eating right since November 2018 (thanks to you!!). 👍

great content, thanks Dr Berry. WISHING YOU/YOUR FAMILY AN EXCELLENT 2024🥰

I am so thankful to you Doctor. This video is so informative for me.🙏🙏🙏.

100% My doctor says the same thing. He doesn't hand out antibiotics for this either. It's a good thing.

I used to get several sinus infections a year. I started doing nasal rinses on a daily basis and I haven’t had a sinus infection since.

Wow! Glad I saw this! Guess who has a sinus infection! Thank you Dr!

Thank you Dr.Berry for sharing with us.

Thanks this came at the perfect time!

💯 truth. I get them all the time. I use the extra strength saline sprays and the savage. This loosens the mucus and allows me to expel it. The rest just comes with patience, and letting it run its course. The key is getting as much of the mucus out as possible.

I find that sinus infections tend to be shorter and less intense if I dose them hard with Zinc, Vitamin C, and lots of water for the first 24-48 hours.

Thanks, Doc - you are the best!💕

I agree with most of you say. But fungal sinusitis is a real thing. After years of suffering my spouse was finally better after Diflucan and Nystatin tx (both anti-fungals) for a month. After years of suffering, it finally was gone for good. The fungal infection was caused by a doctor who carelessly prescribed antibiotics. Not all docs are good like Dr. Ken Berry!

I know lots of people that get fungal sinus issues. We gargle with anti fungal essential oils and make sprays they work immediately. I fully agree on the antifungals. We have used them before and they were immediately as well like by the end of the day to the next day your symptoms are cut in half

​@@treasuresabound0062 very easy, collect a fresh sample, (mucus sample) send it to a laboratory where it is examined for signs of fungi. Or if your doctor is in a hospital with a good microscope, take a look. There are also tests that take 48 hours to look for growth of the infection. With all viral and bacterial infections a simple test should be performed. Personally I don't agree 95% are viral. Many cases of strep throat (bacterial), then expand into a bacterial sinus infection. Herpes type infections (viral) of the mouth or throat lead to sinus infections which need to be treated with antiviral medications. Even an infected tooth, gums (very common), can lead to a sinus infection, which requires antibiotics.

I def think mine are fungal or bacterial in nature, I haven't had anything viral happen to me in years.

To open nasal passages when laying down, so you can sleep...take few drops of the following essential oils mixed in a carrier oil.... olive oil works too. 2 drops peppermint essential oil, 3 drops Rosemary essential oil, 1-2 drops Lavender essential oil. Apply across bridge of your nose and around nostril opening, or on pillow case . Lavender and peppermint help with reducing inflammation of nasal passages....it works for me.

My mother was quite prone to sinus infections, and I inherited that characteristic, apparently. She invariably treated herself, with good outcomes. I didn't even know people went to the doctor for sinus infections until I was grown. I have always treated myself (at least at first) just as Doc Berry outlines with great success. The only time I ever go to the doctor is when the inflammation moves to my ears and gives me vertigo.

I had a bad infection in early Nov that started on one side of my face and got much worse really fast. A couple weeks later, I got the flu. The flu wasn’t all that bad but then I developed another miserable sinus infection at the end of that. Finally had a CT done and diagnosed with chronic sinusitis and looking at scheduling surgery sometime soon. I’ve suffered with frequent infections for YEARS and hate taking antibiotics because they upset my stomach. Most of the time I never went to the doctor unless it just didn’t go away or became way worse way too fast. You’re right about those decongestants…they did NOTHING for me except make me loopy. Even pain relievers would hardly take off the edge. I’ve found nothing yet that relieves the terrible facial pressure. 😩

They can also be caused by a deviated septum which can also cause sleep apnea

@@ssssssssssssssssss50 I have both. But I remember a doc saying you have a deviated septum. That was it. I spent my entire life not being able to breathe from my nose. Gave up diary 10 years ago and today I can breathe easily from both nostrils. I get sinus infections about 2 times a year, but can manage them better with nasal washing with saline solutions I use "Flo". My infections are serious as they go to my lungs, so I'm in the 3% that need the antibiotics. I also take kefir regularly now (non lactose) which I think might help. Only started about 6 months ago, and no infection since.

I have one right now. Thanks for another great video Doc

Thanks Dr Berry. Good information.

I make a powder snuff out of cayenne, Golden seal, and Barberry and just a minute few grains in the end of a swap snorted up the nose and it is instant relief from the headache, and begins to greatly help with nasal airflow. Yes it is quite intense but it goes away quickly and gets easier to adjust the amount up a little or down so you aren't quite so surprised when you use it a second time. The cayenne is a dialator and Antihistamine, the Barberry acts as an anti-viral and the golden seal is a neutralizer of toxins. If you have a sinus headache Just a few grains in the end of a swab the size of 2 or 3 periods from an ink pen will instantly give relief. Repeat as needed to give you the relief sought for. I also use it when I feel the first symptoms of a virus colonizing on the back of my palate and and sinus. If you can catch it early you can mitigate the progression the infection to an appreciable degree.
