Maybe you need an added approach to the sinus infection problem. For almost 60 years I had a candida problem and could not solve it. Now I have cancer, the result of osteoporosis and a defunct immune system. Therefore, I am trying to beef up the immune system, or at least, establish a "passive" immune system until my own can get up and running again.

Strangely enough, I seem to have accomplished this much.

I am not having any infections at all, in spite of the fact that my oncologist predicted that I would.
And for the first time in 60 years my body is able to overcome a candida invasion. For me, that is really news.

To build up this immune system, I have used many things.
One is oil of oregano and Colloidal Silver together; I've used that when I had to go out where I might pick up an infection.
As an overall thing, I have taken colostrum (full of anitobidies, etc.), T-cells, B-cells, probiotics, glutamine (to feed the immune system), and literally everything I could learn about. However, it is helping. With cancer and a defunct immune system, I've had no infections even though my husband has had a couple and I'm in the house with him 24 hours a day. So now I am feeding him all the things I've been taking for my immune system.
I am currently trying a product from Rain Forest Nutrition of Austin, Texas. One of its ingredients is cat's claw,supposed to raise the immunity activity by 50%. My next text at the oncologist may tell whether it has done so or not.

I to have a staph infection on the nose. it sucks, what can I say.

I went to the doctor tried 5 different Antibiotics - suffice to say, the doctors suck too =P

So far what I have been doing is battling it with New Zealand manuka honey, 'umf 16' or something like that -it works well, but it is a TREATMENT - unfortunately, not a cure... It works wonders while you have it on, but there needs to be some way to keep it applied, as the honey drips (any insight, btw, would be appreciated). Barberry extract (berberine) also inhibits the growth of staphylacoccus aureus (forgive spelling), I have yet to order some but I will do so soon and tell you about my results if you are interested.

Berberine + New Zealand Honey with a 'umf factor (manuka honey with specific antiobitic quality - university of waikato, New Zealand, documents this).

-GOOD LUCK TO YOU, DONT GIVE UP , PEACE BE WITH YOU!

I have suffered my whole life with sinus and asthma conditions and it always took 3-5 Antibiotics to take care of the problem that many times went to pneumonia. Then I learned about glyconutrients. I am now drug free and asthma free and if ever I get a problem that is now very rare but should I need an antibiotic, my body response immediately and starts to repair and recover within days. You can learn more by going to http://www.healthsugars.com It's changed my health for the better and I almost died in 1995 from this problem that never would get better. I have already had 4 surgeries on my sinuses. Yuck!!!!! I'm done with that.

I feel your wife's pain! I too have had chronic sinus infections. Never completely getting over one and it flares up again. I have had two major sinus surgeries. They seem to work for a while, then am back to the same problems. I recently had my sinus drainage tested in a lab by my ENT and it came back as a staph infection! I was experiencing constant fatigue, lots of pain in my head, nose and glands. I am on my second day of a Sulfa based Antibiotic and a steroid pack. I am praying that this can give me some relief and last! I have never felt so lousy. Tell her to hang in there and if she has not, get her drainage cultured. In my 30 years of sinus problems, not one specialist has recommended this. Take care!

Just found your message so I'm a little late with advice. Maybe now the problem has been resolved, but, just in case it hasn't, here are a couple of simple things that might help. One is using 3% hydrogen peroxide (like you get at walmart) and using it as a nose drop, 5 drops in each nostril (this will burn at first and if it burns too much, dilute 50/50 with distilled water) If diluted, use 10 drops. Also with sinus the ears can be part of the problem. Using 3 drops in each ear in turn, keeping it in until it stops fizzing. It (h2o2) can be used in a nebulizer and breathed in. The h2o2 will kill the bacteria, has no side effects and can be used as needed. It is NOT to be taken internally. Also Colloidal Silver (prior to l938) was used by doctors as the thing to use for a myriad of infections, including staph. Then the drug companies started making Antibiotics and the CS fell out of use. Not because it didn't work, but with pennicillen, who needs CS. Colloidal Silver can be taken internally, used as eye drops, ear drops,and sprays to disinfect. A caveat is to be sure you are getting a good grade, color should be slightly yellow. Darker colors would be from impurities in the medium used to make the CS. Just passing along what I'm learning. Omie
