Introduction
SEA WATER FOR THERAPEUTIC PURPOSES: THE TARGET CELL Quinton Laboratories markets a product that is unique and exclusive all over the world: Sea Water collected in a special place in the North Sea that undergoes cold sterilization so that none of its properties are lost. Sea Waters therapeutic qualities that are extremely beneficial for the human organism had already been discovered in Ancient times by the schools of Pythagoras and Hippocrates, and in the XIX century this scientific knowledge was taken up again by the French Biologist Ren Quinton. He proved that any living organism, whatever rank it occupies on the zoological nomenclature is still a marine aquarium, where its cells, are born and die in the same water conditions as those in which primitive cells originated, which is based on the fundamental principle: human blood has a very similar composition to Sea Water. Nowadays, thanks to current research sponsored by our laboratories carried out by different universities, there is now specific data that proves and acknowledges these properties. It is prescribed by doctors and scientists all around the world for its high salt and natural mineral content; Quintons Sea Water favours the organisms health by completely renewing and nourishing cells. The therapeutic values of Sea Water as an essential element for life development are fundamentally based on the fact that the quality of organic water is indispensable to maintain the hydro mineral equilibrium of our cells. These are nourished by the extra-cellular fluid and the ions that move around them. The bioavailability of the ions means that absorption is natural and immediate instead of being harmful which could result in metabolic disorders or poisoning. Marine Therapy is a cellular nutrition technique that is supported by more than 100 years of clinical use started by Ren Quinton and has proven to be very effective when treating illnesses related to Dermatology, Allergies, Gastroenterology, Dentistry, Paediatrics, Gynaecology, Sports Medicine, Ophthalmology, Respiratory Physiotherapy, etcetera.

SCIENCE AT MANS SERVICE
Ren Quinton included numerous areas of human knowledge in his work. His humanitarian and scientific education, meant that he was considered to be a true scholar and his usual quote in his work, even what was not published, was Science de la sensibilit, which basically means that he combined materialism and spiritualism together in complete harmony. Apart from his studies in Biology and Physiology, he was also a philosopher, a war hero, a philanthropist, an aviator, and a humanitarian of his era. Compared with the physical world that obeys stable laws, evolutionism has accustomed us to seeing living matter as a plastic substance modified by the environment, adapting itself to survive the earths changing conditions, as he explained in one of his books. Then in 1897, Quinton formulates a new principle that without rejecting evolution shows the end objective of life in all its forms. This is how he discovers that animal life originated in the sea and despite the different variations throughout time; it tends to preserve its original conditions. Instead of passively being influenced by the surroundings, life resists these changes. Anatomical forms change in order to help maintain the temperature and the saline concentration of the original marine environment. Basically, an organism, on any rank of the zoological nomenclature, is still just a marine aquarium, whose cells continue to live in the same aquatic conditions as those in which the primitive cells lived. Illness appears when this basic environment is altered. This principle, lead Quinton to base his scientific theory on one universal premise that became his basic therapy: to replenish the damaged cells using Sea Water, a fundamental resource whose mineralization is identical to our own internal ocean. His work culminates in 1904, with the publication of the book titled LEau de Mer, milieu organique (Sea Water, organic matrix) that establishes well founded scientific proof about the therapeutic values of Sea Water. For example, he stated that any change in the extra-cellular matrix altered cellular nutrition.

THE DISCOVERY
The Discovery
SEA WATER, ALL THE ELEMENTS OF THE PERIODIC TABLE.
When Ren Quinton began his studies, he discovered that Sea Water contained 15 elements that were classified in Mendeleevs periodic table. As his research continued another five more elements were added, and he suspected that all of them were present. And indeed, as clinical studies progress, more elements appear, until Rens suspicions were finally confirmed: Sea Water contains all the elements from Mendeleevs periodic table and in the same ratio as those contained in our own Internal ocean, that is made up of the different organic liquids such as: extra-cellular fluid, blood plasma, tears, cerebrospinal fluid, etc. Henry Doffin, Professor of Biology (Faculty of Science in Poitiers, France), discovered this in 1950. More recently, research at the Coral Gables University (Miami-USA) was carried out using a molar approximation through neuron diffraction spectrometry. This is the most accurate method so far to prove that the qualitative composition of natural Seawaters TOTUM iono-minerals and concentration contains 83 BIO AVAILABLE elements at biological temperature. Originally Sea Water had a lower mineral salt concentration than nowadays, which means that it has to be diluted with low mineralization spring water. Every litre of Sea Water contains an average 300 milligrams of prebiotic carbon derivatives, such as amino acids, sugars, vitamins, etc. The ions (present in the liquid-phase, do not exist in the solid phase) are natural chemical-electronic elements, that are transformed into natural chains by phytoplankton and zooplankton. They work together on a natural symbiosis with our organism, whose mineral fluid composition is identical to that of Sea Water.

The discovery
The experiment
Experiments had to be carried out to prove that when diluted into isotonic water Sea Water is identical to the human internal ocean. The first experiment was carried out in 1897, at Professor Mareys laboratory in the Collge de France: to completely drain dogs of blood. For 8 hours a 10 kg dog was given 10.4 litres of sea water through an intravenous injection, 104% its weight, without any problem. Renal elimination is perfect. >> A dog is completely drained of blood through the femoral artery. The dog is dying, losing the corneal reflex. It is injected with Sea Water for 11 minutes: the reflex comes back; the dog comes around, gets up and the next day walks around the laboratory. The dog is named Sodium, and dies 5 years later after being knocked over by a tram. Between1887 and 1904, Ren Quinton used his sea water treatment recording observations that enabled him to fine tune a method with the help of a few young keen doctors, teachers and distinguished heads of hospitals. Quinton started to use his therapy in hospitals in Paris, where he was allowed to practice on hopeless cases: a patient with typhus in a terminal coma who was expected to die that same day, someone who had been poisoned with oxalic acid, someone with syphilis, a man with cirrhosis of the liver, a young pregnant woman bleeding to death Isotonic Sea Water administered in injections, which was then called Quinton Plasma, always had unexpected effects: those at deaths door are often saved. To round off his experiments, Ren Quinton went on to study the white blood cells which, due to being so delicate, are difficult to keep alive in an artificial environment. Quinton carried out his study on all species: fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds. In all cases the white blood cells immersed in sea water continued to show all the signs of normal life. In a recent study, Dr Jos Miguel Sempere, Professor at Alicante University in the Biotechnology Department, concluded: I am convinced that white blood cells survive longer than the 96 hours counted up to now when kept in the Isotonic Quinton Solution 15

QUINTON LABORATORIES
Quinton Laboratories
WORKING FOR HEALTH SINCE 1905.
In 1904 Ren Quinton published his most important work LEau de Mer, milieu organique- Sea Water, organic matrix). This publication coincided with the establishment of Quinton Laboratories that started to market the famous Quinton Plasma in 1905. At this time Ren Quintons work was especially focused on children: those suffering from atrophy and/or from enteritis cholera actually recovered after the first few injections of Sea Water. They were seen to get their appetite back and quickly put on weight. In view of these results, Ren Quinton decided to open the Marine Dispensaries that were free. They soon became extremely popular due to the good results obtained from the Sea Water injection based therapy. The first clinic was opened in 1907 where 9,902 injections were administered a month. Clinics were then set up all over Paris, in other provinces and even in other countries (Great Britain, Belgium, Egypt, the United States, etc.). In 1921 a well founded clinical report was published Le Dispensaire Marin (which is still unquestionable today in experimental terms) on how Quinton Plasma was used in Paediatrics, under the supervision of the doctor of medicine, Jean Jarricot. In 1960, the Ren Quinton Association was set up in Paris aimed at legally defending the famous researchers report. At this time, Ren Anrep had already designed the double-ended vial and the equipment needed to pack the product. In 1970, the new Permits were established (the Registration of medicinal products) in the VIDAL dictionary (Frances equivalent to the Physicians Desk Reference): Quinton Plasma was registered under the number. NL 5735 and Quinton Duplase nasal spray under the number: NL 5736. In 1973, the Permits (generic) were converted into new registrations of medicinal products at the WMA (World Medical Assembly) to identify each pharmaceutical form. In 1979, Ren Anrep comes up with drinkable QUINTON (QUINTON hypertonic 33%). In 1982, the harmonisation of the European Pharmacopoeia and the resulting obligatory adaptation of laboratories meant that the Quinton Plasma was gradually phased out. These registrations were then abrogated by the WMA and expired 1995. In the meantime, drinkable QUINTON (QUINTON hypertonic 33%) starts to be marketed as a food supplement. In 1989, the Laboratories QUINTONOcanThrapie starts a new course of action, although still within the scope of food supplements. In 1996 it sets up the International Quinton Laboratories whose head office is in Alicante (Spain). It obtains the patent to be classified within the pharmaceutical industry and is granted the corresponding permits from the Medicine Agency on the quality of

that is organised by Antena3 TV channel and it is currently involved with the new survey on how to treat people suffering from Alzheimers through the CENTRO AFA (Alzheimers Association for Family members and Friends of Torrevieja). > For Training and Research Quinton Laboratories contributes to specialists and medical staff training by annually organising a series of seminars on The use of Sea Water in Therapy in many Spanish cities, including Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Alicante; in Europe, the United States and Latin America. These are extremely popular among medical professionals who come to find out more about the properties of Sea Water. Furthermore, in depth research has been done for over a decade now on the properties of Sea Water. Different university studies, including those carried out at Alicante University and Murcia Catholic University recommend using and consuming Sea Water, not only in terms of health to treat illnesses as it has traditionally been used, but also as a food and mineral supplement for people who are under a lot of either mental or physical strain, and for athletes to recover from physical exhaustion. > For Sport Quinton Laboratories is especially committed to sport and helping athletes. For the last few years, it has sponsored various sporting races and events, including the Marathon of Madrid, the Marathon of Santa Pola (Alicante), the International Duathlon of Vilanova and the Marathon of Valencia; and it sponsors the Maratonianos Athletics club in Guardamar (Alicante); it promotes local sport by sponsoring the Ladies indoor football team of Soto del Real (Madrid). The properties of Sea Water have obtained excellent results in professional athletes who consume it on a daily basis as a food supplement when competing and training. Numerous professional sportsmen and women are now using Sea Water: First and Second division Football and Basketball teams; Elite athletes, in Sailing, Athletics, Cycling, Marathons, etc. > For the World: International Growth Quinton Laboratories adheres to a policy of international growth which is why it has recently registered QUINTON at the US Patents and Trade Marks office. This trade mark registration means that the laboratory can now develop and grow throughout the American continent. In Asia, Quinton Hypertonic vials and Quinton Isotonic vials have been registered as food supplements by the Malaysian Ministry of Health. This recognition enables it to distribute its products throughout Southeast Asia. Quinton Laboratories operate all over Europe, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Lebanon, Taiwan, Korea, China and Japan. This international work and recognition of the high quality and good practises is a great incentive for the whole corporate development and growth project.

IONIC BIOAVAILABILITY
Ionic Bioavailability
THE TRANSFORMATION OF MINERAL ELEMENTS In terms of nutrition today, our organism cannot get all the minerals it needs from common food to work properly. However according to studies carried out in the last ten years to find out what nutrients are suitable for us, it has been proved that a mineral balance is essential to re-establish the internal biological terrain and all round good health. The break down in the food chain in the last fifty years has contributed to damaging the links that it is composed of. In agriculture, there has been a change from consuming handmade, local produce to consuming industrial, global produce where chemical pesticides and fertilizers or genetically engineered seeds and more recently genetically modified crops are used. In Livestock antibiotics are now used on mass, herbivores are fed with animal origin fodder, even the fish farms use unsuitable feed, exclusively aimed at increasing the production. This breakdown affects man through the food that is consumed and according to the majority of nutritionists this is causing new illnesses that weaken the immune system and is producing other different harmful synergies which are depleting the biological basis of the human organism. Luckily, there is a second food chain on Earth where all the mineral nutrients that todays food lacks can be found, and what is more it is natural because it exists in the oceans. Trace minerals that form on the sea beds and on the land are inorganic due to the fact that they are not digested by living micro-organisms first. Moreover the content of each trace mineral varies from one sample to another and does not reflect the same ratios as those contained in the human body. Indeed unlike land minerals, every essential trace mineral in Quinton is present in a perfect synergistic ratio.

culture medium which is an inflammatory response marker. When a culture is grown with 10% Quinton Isotonic Water, the nitrate levels are seen to drop considerably. Seeing that the basal production of nitrates is not affected (unproven data), the inhibiting effect of Quinton Water does not seem to result in cytotoxic action. Consequently, Quinton Isotonic Water seems to have an antiinflammatory effect on in-vitro tests with murine macrophages. Obviously the tests carried out show an in-vitro property that cannot be extrapolated to in-vivo conditions, although they do provide a basis for future research done on this matter.

STUDY TWO IMMUNOMODULATORY EFFECT OF THE IN-VITRO QUINTON HYPERTONIC AND ISOTONIC SOLUTION >> OBJECTIVE The cellular proliferation test is one of the most popular tests used to analyse the effect of different medicines on the immune system, and to find out if the medicine being studied has any possible immunodulatory effects. Briefly, the test consists in seeding mononuclear cells of peripheral blood (lymphocytes and monocytes) in plate cultures that contain amino acids, glucose, ions and other elements to nourish the cells in the most suitable way. Once seeded, the cells may or may not be stimulated with different standard substances. After the normal stimulation period of 3-4 days, the normal stimulated cells are activated and proliferate inside the culture plates, whilst the cells that are not stimulated (control cells) will remain inactive and will not proliferate. In this study anticoagulant blood (EDTA) was taken from ten healthy volunteers, their mononuclear cells (PBMNc) were separated and the following culture conditions were used: >> RPMI, supplemented with 1% of antibiotic, 1% of glutamine and 10% of fetal calf serum (FCS); pH = 7.3 >> Solution isotonic Quinton only (ISO-); pH = 7.3 >> Quinton hypertonic solution alone; pH = 7.3 >> Quinton Isotonic solution (ISO+) supplemented with 1% of antibiotic, 1% of glutamine And 10% of FCS; pH = 7.3 >> Quinton hypertonic solution supplemented with 1% of antibiotic, 1% of glutamine and
26
10% of FCS; pH = 7.3 >> Physiological saline solution supplemented (SS) with 1% of antibiotic, 1% of glutamine and10% of FCS; pH = 7.3 >> CONCLUSIONS 1. The mononuclear cells cultivated in-vitro with the Quinton Isotonic solution, keep their morphology and viability during the four days of the culture, especially with the ISO+ solution. 2. In terms of the cellular aggregation, proliferation and/or activation, the ISO+ solution behaves like the RPMI medium. Moreover, it seems capable of stimulating cells by itself, due to the existence of aggregated unstimulated cells in the medium. 3. The absence of practically all cellular aggregation, proliferation and/or activation in the ISO solution might be due to the lack of nutrients. 4. The PBMNCs tolerance shown in-vitro with the Quinton Isotonic Solution, as well as its possible effect on cellular activation, suggest that, when it is added in ideal conditions, it could replace the conventional culture mediums.

STUDY THREE
RESEARCH DONE ON THE PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS ON ATHLETES WHO REGULARLY CONSUME SEA WATER.
>> OBJECTIVE Experiment with 11 semi-professional indoor football players. A maximal triangular treadmill stress test was carried out, along with a rectangular treadmill stress test using continuous load equal to a speed corresponding to 70% of their maximum oxygen consumption. The test lasted 60 minutes. A blood sample was taken from each of the athletes twenty minutes before the test. The athletes then consumed 20 ml of the liquid being studied or the same quantity of
27
placebo. The blood parameters analysed from the samples taken were: pH, partial oxygen pressure, partial carbon dioxide pressure, sodium, potassium, calcium, bicarbonate, lactate and glucose. One minute before the test each athlete was weighed and another blood sample was taken using the aforementioned method. >> CONCLUSIONS According to the study the most significant increases produced are those in the sodium, chlorine, bicarbonate and glucose graphs. Sodium is essential to control hyponatraemia in athletes, as it prevents a depletion of this intracellular ion with the resulting decrease in intracellular hydration. Given its relationship with glucose, this increase in Sodium also makes the glucose more available for the cell. The increase of the blood sugar in a product that does not have it is very important. Perhaps it promotes the mobility/ supply of the glucoside reserves which are available on demand. This would explain the so-called recovery that the athletes talk about. Chlorine is seen to increase as it is present in the sodium which is contained in the drinkable Sea Water. The increase in bicarbonate suggests that the product is like a blood buffer favourably controlling the cellular acidity. The increase at minute 30 is interesting as it could be due to the fact that the product has an ionic pool available for the organism to use whenever it needs to. In the light of the results and the comments made by the athletes, Hypertonic Sea Water should be taken by professional and semi-professional athletes when training to increase their stamina throughout the whole season.

It promotes homeostasis through the intra and extra-cellular osmotic principle. It promotes rehydration (it is an electrolyte regulator). Initial Dosage: 1 Quinton Isotonic vial daily on an empty stomach for the first 7 days. Increase to 2 vials a day on an empty stomach for the next 3 weeks. Dosage for the first month: In the second month take 1 Quinton Hypertonic vial in the morning on an empty stomach and then 2 Isotonic vials in the afternoon on an empty stomach. A maximum of 4 Quinton Hypertonic and 4 Isotonic vials can be taken a day in specific cases under professional medical supervision. Maintenance dosage: After taking Quinton Sea Water for 3 consecutive months, 1 to 2 Hypertonic and Isotonic vials should be taken a week. Side effects: The patient should have regular bowl movements. If not, in very rare cases, the patient could temporarily show signs of detoxification, such as skin blemishes or constipation. No side effects have been reported.

3 DV (Drinkable vials) should be taken a day, separately if possible, repeating the dosage three times a day. If 6 doses are to be taken the best way is to take them is 2 + 2 + 2. How long the treatment lasts depends on the evolution of the patient in question, although in general, treatment of at least 1 month is recommended and then according to the results obtained the treatment is prolonged if necessary. Daily Nasal Sprays (Hygiene Nasal Diaria) should be used as a preventative measure and for minor symptoms. Nasal Hygiene Extra Action (Hygiene Nasal Accin Plus) should be used for chronic, serious symptoms. The Dermo Nature Spray solution is recommended for very sensitive skins and for other types of skin Dermo Accin 150ml should be used.

The effects of sea water and its main components on irritant contact dermatitis caused by the Lauryl Sodium Sulphate are evaluated. Transepidermal Water Loss measurements (TEWL), used as an indicator of epidermal barrier function, and capacitance, have proved that sea water significantly stops the increase in transepidermal water loss compared with when deionised water is used. The effects of sea water may attribute to preserving the skin barrier and moisturizing it. Sea Water or its components alter experimental irritant dermatitis in man.

The Quinton Laboratories has a natural product available for doctors whose functional micro-rehydration has been clinically proved to be effective in all the terrain regulating processes. The impact and effect of natural sea water on cell nutrition, its distinct rehydration capacity due to the ion effectiveness, its powerful action on the kidneys, its unquestionable micronutrient bioavailability (Ca+ + for example) means that it can be used for a series of applications related to the women during a special period of their life cycle that they often find hard to come to terms with. Hot flushes and sweating are annoying symptoms (not pathological) that can respond perfectly to a balanced amount of marine ions. In osteoporosis, the immediate bioavailable iono-mineral total (totum), transmineralized by the sea water telemediators can only be a bonus for classic treatment. Only recently has it been recommended to women whose hormonal activity is in its last stage; modern scientific knowledge about the mineral and organic composition of the oceans has proved that it has a significant effect on cell life and therefore does complement regular medicine.
RESULTS
>> They have to be noticeable in the first 15 days of the treatment. Decrease the sudden hot flushes. Improve the general state. Emotional rebalance. Notable improvement in the circulation. Improvement of the state of the skin and skin appendages. Weight loss or gain depending on the regulatory effect. Lessening or disappearance of concomitant pathologies.

-Make the neuron membranes more flexible. This is due to more Omega 3 being incorporated. Data from our study on Perilla oil shows that taking Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA) is far better for us than taking short chains such as fish oils. The ALA accumulates in the triglycerides; Perilla oil contains 66% of ALA, and also 0.1% of myristic oil, which is essential to produce long chains. A study done on elderly Japanese citizens proved how effective it is. There are two problems with fish oils. Firstly there is the risk of absorbing the heavy metals and then the effectiveness of distilled fish oils has not been proven. -Clean our internal ocean: In this case we use cold micro filtered sea water that not only washes out the extra-cellular matrix but also contains 78 minerals and measured trace elements that enable ALL THE ENZYMATIC REACTIONS TO OCCUR normally. And it enhances the performance of the two first treatments. This just a summary of what is currently known about the matter and there are of course many other alternatives

Some of the data available from doing studies on athletes includes: The most significant increases on the graphs are those of sodium, chlorine, bicarbonate and glucose. Sodium is very important to control hyponatraemia in athletes, as it prevents the depletion of the intracellular ion that then decreases the intracellular dehydration. Furthermore, the increase in sodium, given its relationship with glucose, means that the glucose is made more available for the cell. The increase in the blood sugar is very significant in a product that does not have it. Perhaps the glycoside reserves are mobilised/ supplied so that they are available on demand, which would partly explain the so-called recovery mentioned by athletes. Chlorine is seen to increase as it is present in the sodium which is contained in the drinkable Sea Water. The increase in bicarbonate suggests that the product is like a blood buffer that helps to control the cellular acidity. On the whole, after the test it does seem that Sea Water provides the organism with an ionic pool that can be used whenever it is necessary.

OPHTHALMOLOGY
As ophthalmic solutions contain active ingredients, and also preservatives, buffers and stabilisers, topical use of the solutions in the eye is often unpleasant and causes stinging, itching, watering. Eye spray is an alternative way to administer ophthalmic solutions that might not be so irritating, especially Quinton Accin Ocular that has none of these agents. The volume in one squirt is the same a drop from an eye dropper. >> The advantages are: Its quick Its not as irritating as using drops and children prefer it. As Isotonic Sea Waters is an anti-inflammatory, the Quinton Accin Ocular is ideal as an eye wash to treat inflammation related pathologies on the eyelid, the conjunctiva and the cornea; it also helps to treat allergy related pathologies, as allergic agents that are commonly found in the eye in lower concentrations than in other parts of the body can cause inflammation. .

NASAL HYGIENE
We learnt to clean our teeth every day so lets go one step further and include our nostrils in our daily hygiene routine. This is how we will keep the nasal mucosa healthy and ready to defend us. There are many healthy benefits to be obtained with good regular nasal hygiene. It strengthens the mucous respiratory defence mechanism and improves tear duct drainage. It prevents colds, flu and pharyngitis. It reduces allergies due to the desensitization of the nasal mucosa. It helps prevent otitis in children and prevents a lot of minor surgery that is so frequent among children today (tympanic drainage, tonsil and adenoid extractions). It helps to stimulate the adenoid and tonsil glands so that they work properly. It improves hearing, smell and taste. And it produces a general feeling of well being, clear headedness and increases optimism and mental concentration. Dr. Miquel Pros, in his delightful childrens book titled Mocs Fora!, explains how you should clean your nose, it gives parents a full explanation of how the respiratory tract works, why nasal hygiene is so important, and it includes the different treatment that is available in his Respiratory Spa in Barcelona.
Good nasal hygiene strengthens the mucous respiratory defence mechanism and improves tear duct drainage
The latest medical advances in physiology confirm that our health directly depends on the quality of our internal ocean (the interstitial fluid around all the organisms cells) which transfers information and sends nutrients to all parts of the organism. If it isnt fed, structured or drained properly, our vital organs wont be either. The continual physiological (functional) alteration of our internal ocean is the first step towards disease and illness. Sea Water treatments help our internal ocean to work properly again and restore our health thanks its mineral content and its supply of

prebiotic elements (the basic chemical elements needed to build all the molecules of our organism). Natural Sea Water, which is called hypertonic due to its high salt concentration (33 parts per thousand), rebalances cellular nutrition. It stimulates isotonic concentration (9 parts per thousand), because it has exactly the same salt concentration as that of our own internal ocean.
Long term trapped mucous could result in a decrease in hearing Tympanic membrane Middle ear Eustachian tube (Passage that connects the middle ear with the Nasopharynx)
A lot of otitis starts here: mucous coming from the nose, blocks the Eustachian tube and often results in the middle ear becoming infected

What do the sinuses do? The paranasal sinuses, just like a labyrinth, are made up of small cavities located inside the skull, behind and above the nose that communicate with each other and with nose by means of narrow passages. The paranasal sinuses start developing from birth right up to adolescence and they determine the definitive shape of the face. Their shape and size vary from one person to another and their volume ranges between 50 and 70 cm3. Due to their labyrinthine structure, the continuous build up of mucus in them can cause sinusitis. A persistent infection should not be left untreated as it could become a serious problem.
Its function is to prepare the air inhaled, act as a sounding box for the voice and lighten the weight of the whole skull structure.
109
Did you know that? The nose is the only organ in the body that establishes direct contact with the outside world and the brain. This is where the olfactory cells are located which specialise in perceiving smells. The sense of smell is probably the oldest of the five senses although very little is known about it apart from the fact that it enables us to analyse the surrounding smells and directly connects us to our store of emotions.

Bronchitis
REDUCE LUNG INFLAMMATION WITH ISOTONIC SEA WATER
Isotonic Sea Water considerably reduces the cytokine Interleukin (IL-8) and the RANTES gene expression of the bronchial epithelial cells in humans, by inhibiting the nuclear factor Kappa activation. The 0.9 % of sodium chloride does not reduce the IL-8 or RANTES levels. With Sea Water a concomitant decrease of I-kappa B-alpha phosphorylation associated with the significant inhibition of NF-kappaB-DNA is also observed. Using isotonic Sea Water complements the treatment for lung inflammation diseases.
