Dr. Veronica Anderson, Founder and Host of web radio talk show, Wellness for the Real World, a weekly resource for wellness of mind, body and spirit, calms nerves about recent neti pot death scare.

NEW YORK, NY – January 12, 2012 – Dr. Veronica Anderson, social media medicine expert and Founder and Host of health and wellness web radio talk show, Wellness for the Real World, recently published an article on her website www.drveronica.com critically discussing the fact that people typically adopt the lifestyle habits of those around them. The article, titled “To Neti or Not to Neti” puts the amoeba scare into perspective and advises users not to quit.

Dr. Anderson writes, “How do you spell relief? N-E-T-I P-O-T. People either love it or hate it… this allergy, cold and sinus treatment is never in the grey area. Many a runny nose and congested sinus has been cured by the small plastic genie-in-a-bottle water spout. For those brave enough to try it, the loyalty runs strong. But recent publicity, however, has shed some negative light on the miracle cold curer. Louisiana state health officials have warned about potential dangers of using tap water for sinus irrigation after two patients died of Naegleria fowleri infection because of this little plastic pot.”

“Okay people. The truth is that there is no need for alarm. Keep using your neti pots. According to the Medical News report, ‘N. fowleri infection is rare in the U.S. — only 32 cases have been documented from 2001 to 2010, according to the CDC website.’ Generally when we see cases like this, there is more to the story than there appears to be at first. Often, there is some some type of situation or underlying pre-existing condition that made these people higher risk than the general population,” reports Dr. Anderson.

Wellness for the Real World features information on developing a healthy and fit mind, body and spirit in today’s dynamic society. Dr. Anderson adds her easily understandable, fun-infused voice to the broad-audience discussion on today’s most popular medicines, alternative treatments, health policies and opinions of wellness – so that her listeners can benefit from truly vigorous life in the real world today.
