What this book offers is knowledge about techniques to keep your cilia moving at the best rate of speed to wash away the offending bacteria. It presents a way to increase the ability of your natural defense system—including lysozyme, good white cells, and antibodies—to get to the bacteria and get them out. It also offers a way to protect your own “openings” to prevent the bacteria and viruses from entering.
For example, you will learn that the best speed of your nasal cilia is 14 pulses per second. That when the cilia move slowly, they can’t effectively move bacteria out of the nose. You will learn proven techniques to restore ciia movement, many of which date back 3,000 years.
This book also offers advice I’ve learned from listening to my patients. For years I heard my patients insist that as long as they used pulse wave irrigation every day, they never caught a cold. Instead of investigating this, I dismissed it as a “bubamycin”—that’s the Yiddish term for tales told by your Jewish grandmothers. (the correct term is bubba meintzes). Then a scientist came along and showed that in order for the common cold virus to enter the body, it must enter by a protein normally present in the nose, called ICAM-1. By washing out the ICAM-1 from the nose, patients removed the entryway so the cold virus couldn’t get in
Now, I listen to my patients.

Sinus Health Based on a 3000-Year-Old Treatment
When I met Indra Devi, a famous yoga teacher, she explained that for 3,000 years, yoga masters avoided sinus infections by rapidly and rhythmically sniffing saline in and out the nose. When she demonstrated the rhythm, I immediately realized that what she and the yogis before her were doing was stimulating the nasal cilia and using pulsation to remove stale mucus that contained bacteria, biofilm, pollen and dust.
If you can rhythmically sniff saline in and out your nose at the correct pulses/second at a low pressure—about five pounds per square inch—then you don’t need to read any further. I’ve found, however, that most of my patients don’t have months to spend on learning this technique, and so I developed the Hydro Pulse Nasal/SSinus irrigator to provide the correct wave rhythm do this for you.
How This Helps Allergy
Will this book cure your allergy? No, it will not. You can irrigate away the pollen and the IgE product your nose and body contains that makes the allergy—and you can even lower the IgE level in your blood by wave pulse irrigation. In some persons, this might be enough relief and allow them to stop taking medications. This method is ideal for those who prefer to avoid drugs for their allergy, particularly if you are pregnant. If you use pulsatile irrigation to remove the jasmine pollen, for example, that lands in your nose, you are still allergic to the pollen, but your body can handle the reduced amount of the pollen in your system with fewer symptoms.
Help for Asthma
Will this help your asthma? Most certainly! Clearing the sinus drainage lowers the inflammatory response of the chest. When you stop the pus from dripping into your chest, the asthma or other chest problem is improved. Most of the recommendations for the sinuses will also help the asthma. When you increase cilia action of the nose, you generally also do this in the chest as well (Rachelefsky). This is part of the Unified Field Theory of Respiratory Disease.
Allergy and Infection
It is important to realize that allergy doesn’t cause sinus disease. What happens is that after six weeks of sneezing, the nasal cilia are exhausted and then they slow down. Then you become infected. By restoring nasal cilia you prevent this complication. I have my patients perform measures to restore those exhausted cilia. These include:
A. Good Sleep
B. Hot tea, lemon and honey. All lemon or lime to regular water
C. Humming at a low tone “oooommmm.”
D. Pulse wave irrigation at a rhythm designed for nasal cilia.
E. Avoid getting chilled.

These recommendations and how they work will be explored further in this book.
