Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 I have been trying the method you speak of on and off for a year. I have been sick with an URI for 3 weeks and the 3% H2O2 has not touched it from the first sign of this damn cold. I have been trying to fight this thing with every natural remedy I have seen of this list including CS and I still have a full fledge sinus infection. I am feeling very frustrated and refuse to go on antibiotics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 It's amazing what we will do to avoid what is already known about oxygen! A half a cap full of H2O2 in each ear 15 min. and you don't need anything else! My goodness how simple and cheap can it get! If you think it will help I'll sell you a bottle of 3% H2O2 four $75.00 so you can feel like you are getting what you paid for, for goodness sake something that works that well can't be cheap!!!

Dear Klink, Many people have been finding that their sinus problems are being caused by fungus in the nasal passages. Antibiotics wouldn't help that anyway. I have no specific info on this subject, just making a suggestion that may help you recover. I've read that some Docs are starting to recognize this fungal relationship and are prescribing anti-fungal meds. However a search on the web may reveal some alternative treatments. Perhaps the " candidiasis " list on egroups will have some archives on this subject. Good luck.... Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2001 Report Share Posted January 17, 2001 It has been suggested to me that one therapy to try is tea tree oil in a nebulizer or atomizer, sprayed into the nostrils and sinus cavities. I haven't tried this myself, as I do not have a nebulizer or atomizer yet. Anyone else heard of this therapy? Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patty ===================== YES I have tried that and also h202 in the ears for 10 min each ear and also h202 in a cool mist humidifier in the bedroom going all night long and NONE of these aborted or helped clear up a cold for me!! I have not had a cold or viral illness of any sort in over a year now but I work with elementary age germ bag kids and am exposed all the time to viruses. Saline nasal cleansing helps me stay well. HOW?? Well In May of '99, I wrote to Dr. Murray Grossan, an LA ENT who invented the Grossan tip sinus irrigator attatchment for the water pik to tell him I had not had a cold in a long time and to tell him that my sinus health was very good and also to thank him for being such a genius, and this is his reply to me: --- Thanks to you Date: Mon, 31 May 1999 09:33:54 -0700 From: hydromed <hydromed@...> charlesworth@... Actually the thanks go to you and the patients who have been telling me for years that daily irrigation helps them avoid colds and allergies. Like most dummies, I nodded my head and forgot it. One day a patient insisted I investigate and lo and behold there is a chemical called ICAM 1 located on the suface of the nasal membrane through which the cold virus enters the body. No ICAM 1, no way for cold virus to enter. So irrigation does reduce colds. Next, Nasal allergy needs a substance called IgE to react to, also located on the surface of the nose. No IgE, no way for the pollen/dust to react with the body. So daily irrigation during the allergy season works. From now on, I swear, I will listen to my patients! Pleasure hearing from you. Murray Grossan, M.D. http://www.ent-consult.com tell a friend ------------------------ I think you will find that you will get many FEWER colds and viral-type illnesses doing nose washing. I work with those germ bag kids at school every day and many many of them are always sick! I did not have one single cold or virus in all of 2000! So if nosewashing does that for me, THINK what it can do for YOU! I was interested to buy the Zicam zinc nasal gel spray because I have to fly next month from Calif. to Colorado and there are always sick people coughing on the airplanes and I will be stuck for hours on the plane ----breathing all that re-circulated germ-laden air--UGH--!!!!! Of course I will cleanse my nose once I get to my destination but I thought for peace of mind, I'd try using the ZICAM nasal gel on the plane.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2001 Report Share Posted January 29, 2001 Please expand on using hydrogen peroxide in the ear to prevent colds. I had an email awhile back about it that I have been looking for and can't find...someone swearing by it. It's amazing what we will do to avoid what is already known about oxygen!

There will be some bubbling and in some cases mild stinging. Wait until the bubbling subsides (usually 5 to 10 minutes), then drain ear onto tissue and repeat with other ear. >> Repeat treatment two or more times at one or two hour intervals until there is no more bubbling. >> Don't get H2O2 in the eyes. If you do, flush them with water. Dr. reports this treatment eliminates cold and flu within 24 hours in 80% of cases. Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
