FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 19, 2011 --Contaminated water sources, not neti pots, are the source of fatal brain-eating amoeba deaths in Louisiana, said Dr. Marc Halpern, an American expert in clinical Ayurveda and President of the California College of Ayurveda.
“Neti pots are one hundred percent safe. A neti pot used with distilled water is the best prevention of seasonal allergies, and provides ongoing relief for suffers of sinusitis. Users should always fill the neti pot with distilled or filtered water, as manufacturers recommend,” said Dr. Halpern.
“If water is safe to drink, it should be safe for swimming pools, bathing, or neti pots,” Dr. Halpern added. “Using distilled or micro-filtered tap water eliminates the risks from municipal water systems, which are subject to contamination or technical shortfalls, as is likely the unfortunate case with the Louisiana fatalities.
“Can people use tap water in their neti pots? The answer is ‘yes but’,” said Dr. Halpern. “If there are any doubts about municipal water sources, boil a small amount of filtered water for one minute and let it cool. The micro-filtration systems sold in camping stores are also effective.”
“Neti is a nasal helper. While nasal hairs, called cilia, naturally protect and cleanse the nasal passages, modern life plays havoc with sinuses. Neti assists the nasal cilia to clean nasal passages and sinuses from environmental pathogens and pollution. Neti reduces allergies and infections that create the mucus and swelling we associate with hay fever, asthma and sinusitis.
Contaminated water, not neti pots, were the source of the Louisiana infections with the amoeba Naegleria fowleri.
The Center for Disease Control states on its web site that contaminated recreational swimming water resulted in 30 of 32 fatal infections due to naegleria fowleri reported from 2001 to 2010, and the remaining two infections were from drinking contaminated geothermal groundwater.
Dr. Marc Halpern is Founder and President of the California College of Ayurveda and co-founder of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association and the California Association of Ayurvedic Medicine. Dr. Halpern is the author of the book “Healing Your Life: Lessons on the Path of Ayurveda.” Dr. Halpern has been instrumental in bringing ayurvedic medicine to the West. An advisor to ayurvedic journals in India and the United States and a recipient of the Best Ayurvedic Physician award, Dr. Halpern is one of the few Westerners recognized as an expert in Ayurveda internationally.
