Be very cautious with Zicam. I've know a couple of people who have lost their sense of smell for extended periods of time from using it. Some permanetly. There is a huge lawsuit against the company, but it will probably come to nothing, as they say it's "homeopathic." Google it for more info...

I got instructions for saline nasal lavage from an HMO physician (at the same time as she prescribed a steroid spray, which I opted not to use) to clear up a drip. The health plan's instructions call for Pickling & Canning Salt, rather than Kosher Salt--P & C is very pure, with no additives.

It also suggested using an ear syringe to spray the solution, which works great (it does not come apart into two pieces for cleaning, but I rinse it with scalding water after every use).

The recipe (1-3 tsp salt, a tsp soda) makes a gallon of solution at a time, which I store in a covered glass pitcher in the bathroom and pour into a separate dish to use with the syringe (so the jar solution isn't contaminated). I've used it most mornings for the last three years, and it's served me well.

Great tips. I really love this site. How refreshing to see claims supported by science. Thank you!

Thanks Chris. I can't tell you how many times I've dodged the bullet with my neti pot, Zicam, sleep & hand washing. My husband & grown-up kids are converts, too.

Strange as it sounds, sometimes I can actually notice when the cold is about to take hold & it actually just leaves. I'm thinking about giving SinuCleanse & Zicam to the folks at work for Christmas--seems like someone is always getting sick where I work.

Also try using Alkalol ( http://www.alkalolcompany.com/products.html ) with your Neti pot. It's a very popular remedy in our neck of the woods here in NY!
