Shameless Plug for Neil

Looking back just a week ago I don't think I could have foreseen that I would soon become someone who would actually look forward to the daily ravaging of my sinuses with torrents of saltwater. But, sadly, that’s where I am now…all thanks to my recent sinus infection. The NeilMed Sinus Rinse combines two of my favorite things: Jet Propulsion and Breathing.

Once I started confessing my new addiction/sinus-health-aid to friends and co-workers it turns out everybody is doing it. Is there anyone who isn’t already hooked on Neilmed’s Sinus Rinse? Why was I the last to hear about it?

Before I was even going to consider hooking that black little nozzle up to my face I read the instructions and owner’s manual. The first thing I became sure of is that THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO SELL THIS BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT! THERE IS NO WAY THE INSIDE OF MY HEAD EVEN REMOTELY RESEMBLES THIS:

The second thing I became sure of, shortly after confirming it with every diagram of the human sinus ever posted on the internet, is that apparently the inside of my head actually does indeed look a lot like that (only without all the words and arrows). I guess I always assumed my head was more brain and less tentacle.

Anyway, once you launch a high-powered jet of Neil's secret solution (water, salt and baking powder) into one nostril, all kinds of junk from your youth will be flushed out with the water--OUT OF THE OTHER NOSTRIL! As uncomfortable as it is to newcomers, the feeling of cleanliness is extraordinary and, although disgusting, it would be selfish not to pass on my new hobby to the rest of you. You'll thank me later.

To Jen: Just because I've shown my willingness to clean out the gunk living in the hollow spaces of my head, it doesn't mean I'm ready to try Dr. Natura.

You know, that's what I said too! I am just going to sit back and wait. One day there will be nothing left in your head to clean out and will need to move on to your colon. You know it's true! Feeling this clean i just your sinus' why stop there? HUM?, your thinking about it aren't you?

So is this something I should try even if I don't have a sinus infection? I don't really want nasty stuff sitting in my head. That being said, I am fine with nasty stuff sitting in my colon.

In my opinion-----Absolutely. Even after the infection cleared up I've been rinsing almost every day--and it still (a)de-gunks, (b)feels remarkably invigorating, and (c)helps my allergies by washing out whatever pollens (etc..) have been making me sneeze lately. It's the deal of a lifetime at $10, which includes the bottle and 50 pre-measured pakcets of solution mix.
