Hello Brickey, Some suggestions for additions to your mix: Hydrogen peroxide (small amounts, increase to find your tolerance, too much causes pain and congestion) Tea tree oil (dissolve in the DMSO in very small amounts before adding to the CS, too much causes pain and congestion) Xylitol (good for killing bugs, and tastes nice)
I would also recommend trying a sinus flood, filling your sinuses with your mixture with your head hanging backwards off the end of your bed. Let it soak for 2-3 minutes, hold your nose, turn over and soak for another 2-3 minutes before snorting it out. Wait 40 minutes and repeat, I find this is very effective at removing encrusted gunk that simple irrigation doesn't do much for, and for getting at more of the sinus cavities. I do a final irrigation, not with a waterpik, but with an adapted enema kit, with a liter of saline and a little baking soda and peroxide. There are several essential oils that are good for sinuses - oregano, thyme, star anise, citronella, clove and cinnamon are ones I use as they are antifungal as well as antibacterial. I put a couple of drops on a tissue and inhale the vapor. I hope this helps, Paul H ----- Original Message ----- From: brick...@aol.com To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Monday, November 01, 2004 7:28 PM Subject: CS>Sinus update It has been one year of treating my sinus using a DR Grossan hydro pulse (water pick). I flush my sinus with 100 ml of CS with 5 ml DMSO and 3 t MSM in a 16 ounce bottle of CS, twice per day. I bought a $25 water pick from Walgreens and used an extra nose adapter that I keep in my RV so I can flush while traveling. Water pick for $25 seems to work fine. The DMSO seems to have really helped. My sinuses can usually be drained after flushing by tilting my head to each side. This AM they did not drain after flushing. Most flushes are nearly 95% clear of mucus now. One DR Grossan unit quit on me. They replaced the unit but said no more as they did not like me using the CS/DMSO/Xylitol mixture and I was not washing the unit with water after each use. My asthma and Barrettes Esophagus are both still here. I was hoping that clearing my sinus would also clear those problems. I believe it may take another year of flushing to note improvements in the other problems, and like my sinus DR said I need to keep flushing because of a broken nose. I am now taking 8 ounces of 20 PPM CS with 5 ml DMSO and adding 1 1/3 T of Gatorade twice per day for my Esophagus and acid reflux. Asthma I use two new inhalers, Advair and Spirax, Albuterol no longer helped me, my Walgreens personal Humidifier did not help that much. Its switch started hanging up so I leave it on and unplug the electricity. I also use my led array over my Esophagus nearly every day. Arthritis flared up in my wrist and the led was not much of a help. My pulsed magnet worked better. Brickey
