Customer Reviews

Turned around my son's chronic conditon

My son was plagued by chronic sinusitis from 2yrs through the age of 7. After constantly being prescribed antibiotics, inhalers and even steroids, I came across Sinus Survival and the link to nutrition and food sensitivities discussed in the book. The difference was immediate and significant. The culprit: chocolate and cocoa discovered through the strategies suggested in the book. I highly recommend the book for chronic sinus sufferers as well as parents of children who have frequent ear infections. They may not need those ear tubes!

Great gift for everyone I know with sinus or asthma problems

While I was reading this book 3 years ago, I started taking vitamins, stopped eating dairy and drinking sodas, and stopped taking antibiotics and nasal inhalers. I can't tell you how much this has helped me! I have bought or given my copy (then, replaced it, of course) to my mother, my grandmother, and a friend who could not SCUBA dive because of sinus problems. This book gives so many suggestions and so much information that even trying a few can really change your life - I am now living in a highly polluted area and I still SCUBA dive and breath! Thank you for a life-saving book.

This book is a lifesaver!

As a number one candidate for major sinus surgery with severe sinus disease, I was lucky enough to discover this book--and it has changed my life; and my sinuses! It took several months, as the author said it would, but through techniques such as sinus irrigation and the use of nutritional supplements I have completely healed myself of this chronic disease that consumed my life. Ivker is not only not afraid to go against the AMA grain, but approaches dis-ease through meticulous research of all forms of medicine. He is a genius and modern day healer.

The only resource you need for sinus problems!

While reading the first 3 chapters of this book, I started crying because Dr. Ivker understood and described in detail what I was going through. If you have ever felt like your sinus problems are ruining or controlling your life, and all the doctors can do is give you an antibiotic or a decongestant, then you need to read this book. If you live in an urban or agricultural area, you will be especially interested in what Dr. Ivker writes about air pollution's effects on your condition. The author has suffered with lots of sinus problems himself, in addition to the thousands he has treated, so he knows what he's talking about. The book gives very practical and specific suggestions regarding diet, vitamins and supplements, exercise, and environmental changes you can make in and around your home. This book pulls together in one place everything I've been able to find on the topics of sinusitis and allergies.

Breathing lessons for sinus sufferers.

Having suffered through the medical system for years with repeated antibiotic treatments, this book summarized my "condition" better than anything I'd read in years. After 6 weeks of faithfully following this regime, I was sleeping at night, NOT coughing up fluid like a consumption patient each morning and headaches were a memory rather than a daily reality. Highly recommend this book.
