Some people are allergic to it, but the fish oil helps. The baby section has it in purple tubes. Go look for diaper rash ointment with the contents. Get a q tip ans put it deep into each nostril and sleep on your back without a pillow. Cures it. |

Every time you sneeze you feel the snot descend from your sinus into your nasal cavity. Then blow your nose vigorously. Keep your head low so that the snot sinks faster into your nasal cavity and you can retrieve it . repeat this 20x. it always works! Good luck! Boes |

Quoting: Secretizer Maybe there is something you are allergic too in your house? Fungal infections in your sinuses can be combatted, but never eradicated. Being toothless, I can add some lemon juice to my mouth-wash and that seems to have gotten rid of a cough that has flem coming out of my throat. A dripping nose is not always a sinus thing, if your brain shrinks and expands more than normal that will push fluid out when it expands, that can be as tears or snot. Work in progress, . . . |

And mix in a pinch of salt without iodine. Clean your nose out with this, every few hours. I also personally found this helpful: [link to www.amazon.com (secure)] Rub a little bit of this peppermint oil at the bottom of your nose. Regularly drink hot water, with lemon, honey, and cayenne. I had a really bad congestion that's finally gone, and doing everything above helped out a lot. Last Edited by Rizing on 10/04/2021 02:03 AM |

Quoting: Only Me The only thing you're missing is a mix of turmeric/curcumin (w/ black pepper). Its an anti inflammatory and has helped with sinus issue's in the past. You can also try spicy foods for temp relief as capsicum helps loosen fibrin and mucus. I'll play the game for the games own sake. |

User ID: 77288913 United States 10/04/2021 02:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had this problem for years and went through all sorts of testing. Someone suggested allergy testing. I kind of thought that sounded silly, but I did it out of desperation. It turned out that I was allergic to 4 foods, and I was eating 3 of them almost every day. After I stopped eating those particular foods, and then got rid of the last of the sinus infection, things calmed down tremendously. It took some time, but the relief was amazing. If you decide to do this, don't do the blood testing. It should be the skin-prick testing where they poke your skin with all sort of different things that will cause irritation if your are allergic. And Neti Pots, when used properly, provide a lot of relief without the use of medication. |

Others than raw veggies, what else do you eat? Do a parasite cleanse. Raw veggies have parasites, which is why it's recommended we cook our foods, even if grown in the backyard. Also, if you want try it, try tobacco snuff, or Rapè/Hapè. It'll clear those sinuses right out. And tobacco is Grandfather medicine (when unadulterated with poisons). Eat as much alkaline foods as possible. Good luck! I never enjoyed the sinus infections. I still have some in my ears and have been doing vinegar and rubbing alcohol drops 1:1. You can do that too to hit it all. |

Quoting: Fat Freddy's Cat These were my first two thoughts. Lots of info out there. (Look up Povidone iodine. I tried to mix my own but it looks a little too concentrated to me. Do some reasearch, there are commercially made Povidone Iodine solutions out there. I'm just a cheap bastard and was looking to make more product for less money) As a side note. You mentioned Rheumatoid arthritis... That is an Auto-Immune disease at the core. Antibiotics aren't going to help as much as you think. I'm sorry I can't be of more help but, anything further would constitute "giving medical advice." That being said, Look into Colloidal Silver, Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide and Povidone Iodine Nasal sprays. If you need links, just ask. (I'll point you in the direction of some other "actual" doctor's info.) I wish wellness upon you. LOL... After posting I saw Rick's post about Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide. 3% Hydrogen peroxide in a nebulizer. Dilute with water as needed for tolerance.

I do have chiari malformation, which means my brain is too big for my skull. I get csf leaks but not nearly as often since I had surgery to make more room. They chipped out some of my skull, took a part of my spine, and made the dura (membrane around the brain) bigger by putting in a patch. That could be part of the problem, but I definitely have a chronic sinus infection that I can't get rid of as well. Last Edited by Only Me on 10/04/2021 03:11 AM Goodbye, halcyon days...
