Sinusitis is a tough and frustrating disease of the sinus cavities which causes trouble breathing, pain, severe headaches, difficulty sleeping, and a sore throat and cough. However, there may be help on the way in the form of special enzymes that can get to the root of the problem.
Sinusitis is typically caused by an infection, and as inflammation increases, the airways narrow and mucous forms. The heavier the mucous, the more difficult breathing becomes; it also becomes a place for irritants (such as pollen, pathogens, and pollutants) to get stuck. In the case of the pathogens, they may multiply - increasing infection possibilities.
Some doctors use antibiotics to treat sinusitis, although these will only treat a bacterial infection, not a viral infection which may have been the initial cause. The overuse of antibiotics has lead to severe, immune-resistant bacterial strains, that now kill people world-wide. Ergo, antibiotics may not be the best choice, and they do not address the inflammation or mucous problem.
There are several clinical trials on patients with sinusitis who used a special proteolytic enzyme...specifically, Serrapeptase by Enerex Botanicals of Canada, with the enzyme being serratia peptidase. In my opinion, and that of many users of Serrapeptase, a much safer approach is to try to address the troubling conditions caused by the sinusitis, and then let the body heal itself (assuming your immune system is working properly).
The enzyme in Serrapeptase does several very beneficial things in the body. It digests and breaks down non-living tissue (fibrin), reduces swelling, and thins the mucous. Those three areas help improve the body's ability to attack any pathogens, rapidly improving conditions for the person with sinusitis. Bromelain and papain are also natural anti-swelling enzymes; however, they are not as strong as Serrapeptase.
There is one, very important key to keep in mind about the enzyme Serrapeptase. It needs to be taken on an empty stomach (no food). This allows it to get past the stomach's acid, and into the small intestines, where the alkalinity will break it down. Only Serrapeptase by Enerex is using Delayed Release caps. These caps have been clinically tested to withstand stomach acid for up to an hour; they then break down in the small intestines in 17 minutes. Most other manufacturers use a coating which is not nearly as effective. With Serrapeptase by Enerex, you don't have such a concern.
