sinus infection

[Guest guest]

hi, are you familar with Collidial Silver, if not maybe look it up in

a search engine.

 

I suffered from horrid sinus problems, I learned about CS, then I

learned how to make my own.

 

one thing that has stopped the allergies and my sinus pressure is to

tilt your head over a sink, and flush or drip some CS slowly into the

upper nostril.. you will feel it filling up the sinus cavity. then

it will eventually drip out the lower nostril.

 

it took me a few times to get the technique to work, but one I did it

right, and fought the " I'm drowning " reflex... I have not suffered

from sinus pressure!

 

good luck, and I hope I have explained this so you can understand.

Kathryn,

 

I'd try colloidal silver 50 ppm--one to two T. a day to take care of the infection, along with a large amount of Vit. C to build up your immune system. Also a good acidophilous product w/non-chlorinated water--like a tsp of powder every night away from food and beverage and brushing teeth before going to bed so the good bacteria multiply throughout your system overnight.

 

Watch the amount of sugars, in all forms, you eat, as this would allow the bad bacteria to multiply.

Get yourself some oregano essential oil (preferably one high in

carvacrol) and do an old fashioned steam inhalation! Put 3-5 drops

of

the essential oil in a bowl of steaming water (be careful, you don't

want it boiling, just steaming) and put a towel over your head and

head

over the bowl. Inhale steam for 10-15 minutes. As an added measure,

ingest 5-10 garlic cloves. Do this by splitting them in half length-

wise and dipping in honey...then swallow. These should do the trick!

 

By the way, NEVER take any OTC sinus meds! They not only don't work,

but they actually have " backlash " effects. You will actually have

worse symptoms after taking them for a few days...then take more to

compensate...then get worse...it's a vicious cycle. Not to mention

the

liver damage they cause or the possible heart damage or the possible

stroke! Take care. Warm regards and continue to be,

Hi all. I'm new to this group and have found

everything very

informational... looking forward to your responses.

I've been battling a sinus infection now for three

weeks and have tried

every otc medicine I can think of. I refuse to take

anything

effects that are often

I have copied a link to a treatment my husband has

done quite a few times for sinus infections. It

doesn't feel pleasant but it works like a charm. He

has gotten a lot of gunk out of his sinuses.

 

http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=16 & groupid=258015 & ck=

 

The recipe is:

 

Mixture:

3% Hydrogen peroxide: Between 2½ ml and 5 ml (or

between ¼ and ¾ teaspoon)

Baking soda: One or two pinches.

Sea salt: One pinch.

Filtered water: 50 ml (or 2½ tablespoons)

 

You put this in a saline nasal spray bottle that has

been emptied. You get into the bathtub, on your knees

with your head resting on the bottom. You then squirt

this mixture up into your sinuses and hold it as long

as you can. You will probably get foam and maybe some

blood out. It will definitely sting!

 

Good luck!

Yes I use Total tonic as of my experiance I get a

sinus headach I take my tonic and within 10-15 minutes

I can tolerate the world no pain. It takes about a

week of regular taking to heal compleatly for me. I

take 2 tablespoons 4 times a day in a glass of water,

to start with by mid week I only take it morning and

night.

Try a nettie pot with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1-2 ml goldenseal tincture in tepid water -- too cold or too hot will irritate the sinuses. Run this solution through each nostril, it will wash through the sinuses and come out the other nostril -- so do it over the sink. If you are so clogged that the water won't go through wait 1/2 hour and try again. I think it took 3 tries to get anything the whole way though the first time I use it. This is what cleared my sinus infection last Spring.

I saw a lot of good suggestions there. The one thing I can suggest is to look at the herbal snuff recipe in the files. This goes right after the problem and after a few sniffs of this stuff, you will will have some serious relief. It does burn a little so start slow....

Absolutely UNTRUE Lori, where are you getting your information on the

metabolism of Silver???

 

Silver COMPOUNDS do bioaccumulate, but silver atoms and ions, which is

what is in CS are excreted within an hour.

Silver BTW is not a heavy metal like Mercury but one of the transition

metals.

 

In fact the body has a normal level of silver, it is a trace mineral

in the body and something that is normally found in some foods, as

well as some well known herbs and plants. Aloe vera comes to mind. For

more information on the silver content of body tissues please refer to

the standard lab reference The Elements by the science writer at

Cambridge University John Emsley. It will tell you the typical tissue

content of various body tissues for any element. Also the occurence in

soil, the earth's crust, etc. Available from Amazon it is well worth

the investment of $35.

www.silverlist.org

www.silvermedicine.org

 

Are two very good sites for those who want to know more about Collidal

Silver, or more accurately called Electrically Isolated Silver since

low voltage processes produce 85% Silver ions and 15% Colloidally

suspended Silver atoms, and high voltage processes more commonly used

by commercial producers have the inverse ratios.

 

Also keep in mind Lori that ocean going ships routinely use Colloidal

Silver generators to produce drinking water so there is a very long

history of its use both in modern times and ancient when silver coins

were kept in water storage vessels to maintain purity.

 

The FDA has approved the use of topical silver in bandages and burn

treatment dressings. If it were toxic in any form these applications

would not be approved since the skin is a very absorptive organ.

 

Also a big note to those concerned about the current warnings of a new

dog flu, thought to be spreading at racetracks and kennels, silver is

your number one weapon of choice to prevent this flu. I use 5 ppm in

all my dogs' drinking water, especially a day before and the week

after attending any dog event. Also mixing it with DMSO and spraying

in eyes, ears, nose and throat for people will help prevent

contracting the flu since these are the portals of entry for viruses.

I use 1-2 parts DMSO to 8-9 parts CS. Nebulizing this same mixture

into your lungs is also a very effective way to get it into your

system and to treat any kind of lung infection or chest cold. I have

nebulized chickens, dogs and horses. I like the Omron and Mystique

handheld portable ultrasonic nebulizers, Google it, they are about $75

and can be used with a battery pack anywhere you go. Airplane travel

is a good place to take them and use in flight to prevent contracting

viral diseases from other passengers.

Medicinally speaking, there are no " absolute " truths! What is one

man's proof is one man's poison! This especially holds true

in " natural " forms of medicinal remedies. There are many different

interpretations of " natural " ingredients; I was very clear in my

original post that I was just putting forth a caution flag, not a

blanket statement of denial concerning the use of silver products! I

must say that I am perplexed by the initial slam on my credibility!

I have never put forth a post until I have PERSONALLY researched the

subject at hand!

I am getting my information on the metabolism of Silver from a

multitude of sources! Medical studies, scientific journals,

government agencies, companies PROMOTING the use of colloidal silver,

studies on the effect of enzyme inhibitors, studies on enzymes, and I

also have been on the websites that you mentioned. I am sure that

more than a few (including Doc Ian) people on this group can attest

to the fact that I am prudent in my research BEFORE I post on a

particular topic and I am very quick to question " government "

and " medical " and " corporate " research because of the blanket " stamp

of approval " given to most products introduced into our marketplace

in this day and age.

I know this fact. I don't believe I ever stated that silver was

not

found in the body! A source for retention of silver in the body is:

 

Absorption of silver resembles whole body retention. It is retained

in all body tissues (Hamilton et al., 1972a; Tripton et al.,1966).

The silver content of the miocardium, aorta and pancreas tends

to decrease with age (Bala et al., 1969) although the amount of

silver in the body increases with age (Hill and Pillsbury, 1939). The

concentration of silver in healthy human tissues from the United

Kingdom was 1-9 µg/kg ash was found. The average silver contents in

wet tissue of normal Americans was about 0.05 µg/kg (Tripton,

1963).

I agree with this. Most people do not know the difference between

colloidal silver and ionic silver. Each company that sells either

version has literature on why their version of silver is better than

the other. I leave that to the personal opinion of those who wish to

consume the products.

 

My current research project concerns the effect of enzymes on the

human body and also the effect of enzyme inhibitors on the absorption

of nutrients from food. I am seeing, firsthand, the devastating

medical conditions that are brought on by compromised digestive

systems, a direct correlation being the lack of enzymes in the

typical SAD (Standard American Diet.)In its ionic form, silver is

highly reactive with other elements which means it will readily

combine to form compounds. Ionic silver is known to be an enzyme

inhibitor. Do I have concrete proof that consuming silver products

will affect compromised digestive systems? As of this date, no, but

I am continuing my research and since I have found NO LONG TERM HUMAN

STUDIES on the safety of silver consumption I will recommend, to

people who ask, to use caution!

 

 

And also:

 

As to the action of silver in the body, while there may be some

catalytic action, silver ions will adhere to the sulphydral groups on

bacterial cell walls and thus " compromise the action of enzymes " and

so on, silver has also been found bonded to the DNA and RNA of

bacterial cells, having presumably disrupted the cell wall enough to

gain entry. Interestingly, it has also been found that if one removes

the silver bonded to the cell wall of bacteria, that the bacteria is

able to revive.

 

A great resource for information on silver is:

 

http://www.purestcolloids.com/ionic.htm For a brief but thorough

description of the difference between " colloidal " silver and

" ionic "

silver.

 

and the differing viewpoint at:

 

www.health2us.com/transport.htm For the biologic silver ion

transport.

 

I know of the historical uses of silver. Maritime use has been well

documented as well as the topical use in burn treatment. I never

denied these uses were in force!

Lynn, A sinus infection is a fungal infection. Doctor antibiotics are almost

fungus-based, so they are likely to worsen the problem. What you need are

natural antifungals, such as burdock root, pau d'arco, red clover, turmeric, red

raspberry, barberry, elecampane and gingko.

 

Fungus is attracted to heavy metals such as mercury, so you also need a heavy

metal detox - take cilantro leaf (from the coriander plant) and chlorella to get

rid of mercury. Also, take Lugol's iodine or Iodoral.

Hi, I used to get sinus infections a lot more - some preventive measures

would be to lower the candida in your body - good pro & prebiotics will help

that.

 

 

 

Also if you do not use a Neti pot or bottle, get one and flush the sinus' as

often as you think they need it - and right now they need it a lot.

 

 

 

Also Apple Cider Vinegar helps calm down mucus, thins it out which is key in

getting rid of a sinus infection - you should drink it through the day -

requires about 2 tablespoons or more - you can mix it with grape juice -

makes it taste a bit like a sour wine.....some people add honey to it - I

often to help with a sore throat mix honey and the vinegar 50/50 and just

take a spoon at a time.

 

 

 

If and when I get one I take Oil Of Oregano capsuls - do not get the stuff

with leaves and roots, unless you want a really good intestinal cleanout!!!

Lol

 

 

 

I take the OOO 4 times a day I also usually back it up with Kold Kare which

also helps build the immune system and can help dry up sinus' naturally.

 

 

 

When I get a sinus headache I take Kali Bri or Silica and within 20 min. the

headache is gone.

 

 

 

I looked up for sinus infection and Kali Led was mentioned too.

 

 

 

Hope this helps - I haven't had to take anti-biotics for years. I also

tried recently, and maybe I did not do it correctly, but had read about

using peroxide in your neti pot - well again maybe I put too much in - but

later in the day I thought I would die - my nasal passages were so

sore.....so if anyone has had success with that, would you tell me in what

ratio of water you used it - and did you add it to the saline solution???

Hi All,

 

I did oil pulling which helped a lot with the sinus', now it is just the earache. I put some olive oil

in the ear with a qtip, just a tad, barely warm, and let it drop off the qtip so i wasn't putting anything in my ear. Anyway so far that has not helped.

 

Can Anyone help with an earache. I am doing all kinds of online searches.

 

thanks,

barbara n germany

[Guest guest]

Barbara,

check out microelectricitygermkiller . With 4 D batteries, 2 small sponges, some rubber bands and tape, you can make a simple device that should give you some relief, especially in combination with the oils, etc.

Thank you Ted, Maria and everyone else who gave me advice. I have never had a sinus infection in my long life:-) You can tell I am feeling better. I don't think I have ever had an ear infection.

 

I had a cold last week and on Friday I staryted to feel bad. I came home from work and went to bed where I stayed until Sunday morning. The sinus infection escalated. I used everything I could think of: silver, clay, can't remember what else, but that helped. On Sunday I thought I was home free and planned to work today; that's how good I felt yesterday. I went to bed, slept briefly and woke up with the sinus infection having moved to the other side. (Originally, it was just one side) and my ear was also infected. I was in SO much pain and I was freaking out, alone in a country where I don't speak the language. Now we do have a health unit at the Consulate staffed with American's but on the weekend, they would havej ust told me to go to the hospital. I wasn't doing that beside I was in too much pain.

 

I posted on this site and sweet Maria caught it right away, now I realize we have some way different time zones. I went to google and typed in sinus infection, ear infection N alternative car,e

I got all kinds of info. What I ended up doing. Oh! first I did the oil pulling twice (every couple of hours) and that helped a lot, then I put peroxide in my ear ...a couple of drops. I was a little scared of putting anything in my ear, but when you are in that kind of pain, you will try anything. It worked. I did it a couple of times at intervals. I now am not in pain, though of course it is not cleared completely, and my ear sounds like a tunnel. I hope that corrects before tomorrow.

 

That was the most horrific pain, and these things always happen: in the night and hubby gone, I think he plans it that way:-)

 

thanks to all and I hope tomorrow I will be able to post that I have a full recovery.

 

Ted I am definitely checking out that website and hubby (also Ted) will be home next week and I will have him make that for me. I have suffered so much pain in my life I need one to carry with me. :-)

Barbara,

check out microelectricitygermkiller . With 4 D batteries, 2 small sponges, some rubber bands and tape, you can make a simple device that should give you some relief, especially in combination with the oils, etc.

Hi All,

 

I did oil pulling which helped a lot with the sinus', now it is just the earache. I put some olive oil

in the ear with a qtip, just a tad, barely warm, and let it drop off the qtip so i wasn't putting anything in my ear. Anyway so far that has not helped.

 

Can Anyone help with an earache. I am doing all kinds of online searches.

 

thanks,

Barbara,

I read that a couple of drops of povodone iodone (Betadine) in the ear will clear up an ear infection a lot better than antibiotics. Also, chewing raw garlic (if you can't chew it, do what I do....swallow chunks of cut garlic!). Raw garlic took care of an abscessed tooth for my husband. It got the swelling and infection down in 2 days, AND he's not had any trouble with the tooth since...this was over a year ago.

 

Bless your heart and get well soon.

Shara

Shara,

 

Thanks,

 

I don't have any kind of Iodine, but I have garlic. I can eat garlic raw anytime, love it, but I gotta tell

you the garlic I just had burned my mouth like it was going to take the skin off. I did get a couple of pieces down using avacoda. That was the hottest garlic I have ever had. LOL

But is sure opened my sinuses.

 

thanks,

Barbara,

Bless your heart! I love garlic too, but I can't seem to chew it raw. Oh, another thing, warm, homemade, vegetable soup with lots of black pepper and cayenne pepper will also open your sinuses! The garlic should help with your ear infection, as it's a wonderful, natural antibiotic. We actually eat several cloves a day, cut into swallowable chunks, just for general health. We don't chew them, because we want them to go all the way through our digestive system, hopefully spreading their wonderful healing properties all the way through, lol. If you can get your hands on the povodone iodine (you should be able to get it at your local pharmacy or WalMart if there's one near you), give it a try. Two to three drops in the problem ear and let it sit until it gets warm. One thing, though, it will stain, so don't lie on your good white sheets or your pretty cream-colored couch to apply it, lol.

Hello, regarding garlic, as we all know? It has health qualities. However common sense must be the main consideration when using any food, herb, or supplement. Always start slowly and in small quanties. Garlic needs to sit for at least 15 minutes after chopping,grading,etc. to receive the full benefits it can give. As for the iodine issue why not get some sea vegetables such as nori, wakamii or or any others.

 

Sincerely,

 

Cypriano

I have heard that you must use garlic within the first 15 minutes or it is totally useless.

Barbara,Bless your heart. If you are still having sinus problems spray the colloidal silver in your nose. Also put colloidal silver drops in your ears. Keep in mind, depending on the infection it may take a couple of days to work, but it will most definitely get rid of any infection.I hope you feel better soon.Hugs,oleander soup , barbara elenniss <bntelenniss wrote:>> > > Hi All,> > I did oil pulling which helped a lot with the sinus', now it is just the earache.
