(Food-Beverage-News.Com, July 02, 2012 ) Los Angeles, CA – Today, a new website was launched, aimed at the 31 million individuals in the United States diagnosed every year with sinusitis.
The website’s objective is to become a leading online resource for the dissemination of information pertaining to the symptoms, causes, precautions, treatment and diagnosis of the disease, which is estimated to indirectly cost the US 73 million days of restricted activity each year.
Founder of the website, Jennifer Aniston, emphasizes the importance of awareness. “The early symptoms of acute sinusitis and sinusitis infection, according to the medical community, are almost impossible to recognize due to their similarity with common colds or mild flu. The general symptoms of malaise or fatigue that come with sinusitis could easily be attributed to a raft of illnesses including hormonal or psychological imbalances. It’s critical that the public be aware and alert of their symptoms, whichever form of sinusitis they have, to catch the problem early.”
The sinuses house the mucous membrane, which acts as a human air filter and is the body’s first line of defense when guarding against infections. When the lining of the sinuses swells, due to a sinus infection for example, the pressure that builds as the mucus builds up causes intense pain, sometimes up to 12 weeks.
Whilst the country’s annual healthcare bill is estimated at $5.8bn, much of this money stems from ambulatory and emergency services costs, but over 20% of all antibiotics prescribed are related to sinusitis. This makes it the fifth most prevalent illness for which antibiotics are prescribed.
“Many people may be aware that smoking or common allergies adversely affect the fragile lining of the nose and can exacerbate sinusitis,” continues Jennifer Aniston, “but few may know that chlorine in swimming pools, or dry air can also bring on problems. That’s why an all-encompassing site is required; to encourage the sharing of information and potentially assist in the early recognition of symptoms of the different types of sinusitis.”
Whilst the site contains many traditional medicinal references, it also embraces herbal remedies and suggests organic extracts that could alleviate symptoms.
“Our goal is to educate the public and increase awareness of illness, hopefully reducing the need for surgical intervention,” concludes Jennifer Aniston. “We hope that readers find this site informative and that it offers practical advice to anyone suffering from sinusitis.”
