Nasal Rinse Image Gallery

The thing with baby shampoo is that even though it is advertised as gentle, it contains harsh chemicals that may do you harm.
For a fungal sinus infection, I would suggest colloidal silver. Colloidal silver is effective against all types of pathogens, including fungus. You can take it internally, and use it as nosedrops.
My Best.

I've had a sinus irritation of what I suspect is of the fungal origin, for the past 9 months..Along with many other crazy symptoms. I have tried all the sinus sprays, antihistamines, and rinses out there and nothing has provided any relief. Started using GSE yesterday and I think it may have loosened things up a bit. I also have heard that the reason a fungal infection in sinuses is persistant and hard to get rid of is becuz of the biofilm that is hard to penetrate, thus nothing you use actually gets to the infection..So in my hours and hours of endless research I have found this interesting, possible remedy and wondered if anyone has tried it..Several sights claim that there is an ingredient in baby shampoo that will penetrate the biofilm of a fungal infection, it is added to the baby bath and baby shampoo to aid in the prevention of craddle cap, which is suspected to be of a fungal origin as well. Makes sense, right? So it says to add a few drops to your saline rinse and irrigate as ususally..I am trying it tonight for sure, will post results afterwards..Keeping fingers crossed as if this works it will be a huge relief both physically and finacially..
You should take a look at this thread on GSE. It is not as natural or safe as being claimed:

I have a post on dealing with sinus infections here:

If you want to deal with biofilms add a little yucca root extract to the probiotic mix. The yucca root is a surfactant so it will deal with the biofilm and it is also antifungal.
Scared to ever take an antibiotic after the clindomyacin made the inside of my mouth and throat feel like the mucus had come alive and was gonna crawl out my mouth any minute, and the skin crawling was horrifying..Couldnt sleep for two nights after one dose!!
Sounds like you were allergic to the antibiotic.
I am new to the whole "natural" healing process and honestly never ever thought I would give up my mountain dew, sugar, and little debbie cakes!
The Mountain Dew in particular would increase your allergies due to the high level of caffeine. Caffeine puts the adrenals in to overtime working causing them to get tired and weaken. This leads to allergies among other things:

I just keep telling myself that there must be a reason all this has happened..Like I am being prepared for well, who knows what..But I do no one thing..I'd rather be edjucated than medicated any day!! I read your post about acidoph...and would like to know what you think of the C.Silver some use for sinus issues??
I have never been a big fan of silver. Most of the products on the market contain very little silver and/or are not true colloids. And the machines with the three 9V batteries DO NOT form true colloids, which is why they form a gray mud on the container bottom after sitting for a while. So the only way I would use silver is if I made my own colloidal silver. And even with that the last time I did this was about 14 years ago when I cut the about half of my last digit of my thumb off with a table saw. A doctor friend had told me about silver impregnated nylon being used to heal amputated parts. The silver is driven in to the tissues with electrical currents. He only had a small sample though so I improvised. First I made a really strong colloidal silver solution that I soaked the stub in first. Then based on some research I heard from some other friends using high voltage and argon to regenerate tissue I used a 15KV transformer hooked up to a neon photospectrometer tube. After soaking the stub in the colloidal silver solution I would turn the transformer and put the stub up to the neon tube with the high voltage running through it, which killed the pain and helped drive the silver in to the tissues. It took 6 months, but I was able to grow the whole end of the thumb back. That was the last time I used the silver though. I prefer herbs and ozone to silver.
Oh and Lugol's iodine?? any thoughts thanks
Again not a big fan of Lugol's. I know a lot of people on CZ love it, but it does come with risks. Especially for people that also have Hashimoto's thyroidosis, since excess iodine can aggravate this condition.
In addition both silver and iodine will kill off the good bacteria that inhabit the sinus cavity that help to control pathogens.

Hydrogen peroxide will burn and damage your sinuses at any percentage and is not worth the agony. I know, I've done it.
The very best method of sinus clearing is to use a Neti pot (they are very cheap) and add from 1/2 to a full teaspoon of sea salt along with a drop of tea tree oil. That will produce the most gentle and longest lasting sinus cleanse you can get. Many formulas suggest a full teaspoon of salt but I've found that to be too abrasive and I've found that sea salt is the most natural feeling that you can use. You can also use more tee tree oil if you feel that one drop isn't enough but the main point is, start out cautiously until you find your own level of comfort. Water without the salt will be very uncomfortable so it's a requirement.
I've used the above method for bad colds and just plain sinus problems and it was recommended to me by my own medical doctor.
I am Sinus infection free and have not had a Sinus infection since about 2002.
I have still not had another sinus infection. I used to get sinus infections, one after another, for many years, until I discovered how to use hydrogen peroxide to permanently cure me of nasty, painful, miserable sinus infections!
Basically, I use peroxide to protect the infection-damaged areas, within my sinuses/nasal passages, from reinfecting until those infection-damaged areas are totally healed and resistant to infection.
Just wanted to provide an update.

You need to have a culture taken and have it analyzed/raised in a lab. If your ophthalmologist won't do it, find someone who will, perhaps an internist. That should give a definitive cause. Until you get it diagnosed you're chasing unknown territory. Since I've practiced urine therapy for many years almost all of my eye problems have disappeared and even my glaucoma pressure has subsided. I've also used a clean eye wash cup and rinsed my eyes with my own fresh urine. There's a bit of a sting at first, but then a refreshing cleanse. "Murine" is urine/urea with an M added. Don't knock it. Fresh urine is an antiseptic. It has cured my athlete's foot of many years standing and other skin problems as well.
Hi, I've been taking 37.5mg of Iodoral along with magnesium, selenium, vitamin C, opti-Zinc, NAC, vitamin E and B complex for over three years. About 10 months ago I developed a nasal polyp only on the right side of my nose. ENT wants me to have surgery to remove, but the chances of polyp regrowth are high. He believes it is benign, but would need to have surgery and biopsy to be certain. I'm more worried about surgery since its general anesthesia. Has anyone else experienced nasal polyp growth while on Iodoral? Any suggestions for shrinking it? Should I increase Iodoral? I've successfully shrunk my thyroid nodules using 37.5mg of Iodoral. I've was feeling great until the nasal polyp. Bummed and don't want surgery.
You didn't mention what the nasal flush contained.
Neti pots have been reported to have a problem with bacteria. I suppose you could take care of that. Just saying
If you use the right ingredients, you can flush more than once. Actually it is recommended if you have a nasal passage that is getting infected regularly.
Thankyou everyone for your replies. There's a lot to answer and I have been very fatigued so only just getting back on here now. I am sorry for the delay in doing so. I will try to answer all the replies in this one reply in sections.
Teeth:
My gum health is very good, some of the best the dentist has seen apparently. My teeth have about 13 fillings that prior to 2008 were Mercury-Silver-Amalgam but have been changed to composite. I have a root canal on the bottom right molar but it does not give any really noticable problems. The major problems for me are as aforementioned, between the two right back molars with that nerve pain for which there is nothing noticable by dentist visual inspection or xray and behind the top front teeth for which it gets inflamed tissue there.
I already use a homemade DIY colloidal silver for my mouth of >30ppm and brush with bicarbonate soda and use a water pic several times daily.
Diet:
My diet is a ketogenic diet with good quality foods and lots of coconut oil. I have Orthostatic Intolerance so take a lot of celtic sea salt and bicarbonate soda. I also supp a number of supplements and a lot of Magnesium Chloride. I have also been using colostrum to increase my immunity for the past several months. I have about 500ml of Kefir from processed cows milk daily. I find this helps overall.
For about 18 months I was raw vegan and vegetarian prior to that. I think in hindsight that although this made me feel much better initially it weakened by body substantially and for that reason I have changed to a ketogenic diet including animal foods.
Water Fasting:
I belive that periods of fasting over the last 12 months has kickstarted immune processes which has resulted in my current problems.
Initially, fasting resulted in greatly increased inflammation in mouth and increased nerve pain, increased ear blockage to the point where the canals were completely closed with inflammation. In addition fasting seemed to be a catalyst for shingles in my ears. Over time with subsequent fasts this has seemed to push the sores further along the canal towards the ear, then the ear itself, then the parotid and then the submandibular lymph and neck. As such I have consistently ended up having to terminate these fasts particularly due to the ear problems and intense pain which resulted in requiring voltaren suppositories and steriods. (Although of course I was using many natural products to try and accomplish the same).
The symptoms became worse for several fasts and then gradually subsequent fasts have resulted in slightly less problems.
I am really pleased to be able to say that I am into day 5 of a fast at the moment though and I have none of the inflammation and sores in my head that were occurring. I have some sores on upper torso, shoulders and arms though, so it still seems like something is being progressively pushed out and/or healed.
Parasite Cleanse:
While water fasting I have also been performing a parasite cleanse with daily essential oils, horse anti parasite medications (dosed to my body weight of course), diatomaceous earth and coffee colonics. At day 4 I took 2 tbs castor oil. Today on day 5 I was able to have a small bowel movement. Upon inspection it looks like heaps of worm like things wrapped in balls that are difficult to separate but when I do they look like much longer (up to 100mm) versions of what was coming out my nose.
I have sieved the contents and taken photos that I have uploaded to here for anyone thats interested: https://flic.kr/s/aHsk4FUkhd
Also as far as sinus/nose parasites for someone elses experiences, I found this thread that is interesting: http://www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=1905257 - It shows something that I think looks like a bigger and less degraded version of the things from my nose.
Ears:
I have had to do daily ear treatments to heal them with all manner of things including, oils, iodine, dmso.
Tinnitus was terrible after the canal closes. In the last month it has been gradually reducing though. The canals have been open now for about 4 weeks.
CVID:
That is really interesting information. I was diagnosed with ME when I was 6 about 35 years ago and have had low immunity my entire life with allergies. My liver function tests have been mostly in the very low end of the range except for neutrophils which are generally below or well below the low end. However, since the last test some months ago have been clearly improving. I think this goes along with the increase in symptoms and an increasing immune system. I have always been extremely sensitive to fungus and moulds. I have had Immunoglobulin tests in 2010. They were IgA 2.6g/L (RR 0.7-4); IgG 11.1g/L (RR 7-16); IgM 0.7g/L (RR 0.4-2.3). Also in 2012 I had tTG IgA of 1U/mL (RR 0-7); Gliadin IgG Abs of 1 U/mL (RR 0-7) and IgA again of 2.6. IgE was also testing in 2010 and was 438kU/L (RR 0-87), but I have always suffered from allergies.
Viruses:
I strongly suspect viruses (likely a number from vaccinations of myself and my mother before I was born) are a large part of the underlying causes of my conditions and as such I have been trying to target increasing the immune systems and various things to target the viruses in the last 12 months. Again I think this is where a lot of the symptoms are coming from.
Thanks again for all of your comments.
