The New York Times On The Neti Pot
The Claim: Nasal Irrigation Can Ease Allergy Symptoms THE FACTS
ColumnsPollen forecasters are predicting a heavy season this year, so allergy sufferers may be struggling to find relief.
For some, the neti pot, a nasal irrigator that resembles a small teapot, has become an alternative remedy. While it is not nearly as convenient as popping a pill or using a spray, several recent studies have found that nasal irrigation can reduce symptoms of allergies and other nasal problems.
One benefit is that irrigation can clear nasal passages without dryness or “rebound” congestion, which occurs when overuse of decongestants leads to dependence and irritated tissue.
In one independent study in 2008, researchers examined a group of children with severe allergies. They found that regular nasal irrigation with a mild saline solution significantly eased symptoms and helped reduce the need for steroid nasal sprays. A 2007 study at the University of Michigan looked at 121 adults with chronic nasal and sinus problems. Over two months, the scientists found that those treated with nasal irrigation reported greater improvements than those treated with a spray.
Other research, including an analysis of studies in the Cochrane database in 2007, found that it can be an inexpensive adjunct to medication: most neti pots are about $10.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Studies suggest that nasal irrigation can reduce sinus and allergy symptoms.
That may be true for some H.D., but not me. I do not find the Neti pot helping me out at all in the erection department. I already average about 4 hours without a Neti pot (hey I'm old) and any more than that would be a waste at this stage anyway. And since I'm married its not like I can just call up a couple of women I know after my wife gets burned out to use up the extra time, ya know?
In the real world, I try to use mine every day but sometimes I forget. But Its going on over a year now without a serious cold. The allergies are bad this time of year and I have been very grateful for my good ole Neti pot.
About half the sports department where I work have been sick with colds the past week. But me, thanks to a good friend who sent me a neti pot, I haven't had a cold since I started using it!
Oh yeah, I tell everyone I can about them. There's nothing worse than having a cold or allergies. Well, there's plenty worse, but you have to admit it is unpleasent.
And Greg, if you come back here to read this thread, I wanted to tell you that I was in upstate New York again yesterday, passed right through Utica on my way to Loweville, and I wanted to tell you that the next time you're up that way, go to Loweville and see the new Windmill farm they have up there.
I know what you're thinking...a windmill farm? Well, they got over 200 of them up there, and they are so huge, when you stand at the bottom of them they look like skyscrapers! It take almost a half hour to climb to the top of one of those things!
They cost a million dollars apiece! They are spread out everywhere and you can see them from miles away! I stood underneath one and I'll be darned if I wasn't scared crapless! The props are so big, they must be way over 40' each, and there are three of them on every windmill that turn 14 times a minute. Just standing underneath them and looking up at their power is just so awesome. They are all used to power residential homes in New York City, over 200 miles away!
The technology is just so stunning! And whats ironic is that a whole bunch of Amish farmers have moved right next to them! You see these horse and buggies driving by these unbelievable feats of technology. The whole scene is just so surreal!

Haven't been to upstate NY in a few years but next time I go I'm sure I'll see it.
There's actually a debate going on about building something similar here (southeastern Mass) too.
I saw the windmill farm in Central California a few years ago. It was something... very impressive.
A company from Australia has plans to put one here on the down side of our mountain range in Spring Valley. The wind always whips through there and now that the coal plant idea has been abandoned (thank G-d!) most people are in favor of the wind farm. The electricity would be sold to Las Vegas.

Right now they don't seem to make economic sense as they are heavily subsidized. But it is the future, and we should be embracing these technologies with the goal of making them more affordable.
