Mike, All I have ever used is low ppm solutions (3-5 ppm) of CS and I have had great luck with it. It seems to me that if the area being treated is kept moist with the CS solution, it works it's magic. I put some on a cold sore for about 10 minutes with a q-tip and found it didn't quite knock the bugger out, so I gave it a second application and today it is scabbed over and healing. I can't speak for the higher ppm solutions, but I know that the stuff I make seems to take care of all of the external stuff (cold sores, diaper rash, viral warts, athletes foot, infections, stings, burns, and etc.) I haven't messed with the higher ppm stuff just because the manufacturer seems to think that anything above 6 ppm tends to clump together and then you lose the effectiveness of the small particle size.
I see that you are fighting a sinus infection, have you tried using an atomizer or fine spray bottle to get the CS up into the nasal passages? I found a small bottle locally and had some success breathing CS through the nose during my last sinus infection. I have to say that CS was no miracle cure for the infection, but I think it slowed the thing down enough for my body to beat it. Hope you beat the bug soon, Vern -----Original Message----- From: M.

I'm taking 3 ounces of approx. 12ppm cs twice a day to see if it will knock out a sinus infection. I'm taking about half in each mouthful and swishing it around in my mouth for a couple of minutes before swallowing. (I know some people don't even swallow it.) The first time I took this dose was Tuesday morning. With all the talk here about detox, guess what happens? Within minutes I start to come down with a *nasty* sinus headache which basically lasts all day. I continue with the planned doseage anyway. Wednesday and today I'm feeling better. So it's working and I'm taking two mouthfuls per dose instead of one. So I guess higher ppm would be more convenient. But so far it's do-able this way. I wonder if there's any difference for topical use? Does low vs higher ppm matter when used externally? Anyone? Mike D.
