Re: Using vinegar on fungal infections/hydrogen peroxide

[Guest guest]

Taken from the Aspergillus UK chat board. I have not tried this as I do not

have sinus problems, but it sounds logical to me.

" Judy, I have written about this before but will again as you mentioned

your sinus infection. When I went to see my ENT Specialist on 12 March

2007 he was astounded at the positive progress in my sinuses. He said it

was the best he had seen since I got the infection with Aspergillus

Niger in 1999, along with a mycobacterium chelonae infection.

I had told him about my use of hydrogen peroxide, and he says doctors

use it a lot in operations in surgery of the ENT area. He told me

earlier in January that it was ok to proceed with my use of it. After I

visited his clinic in March he said " I think I will get you onto my

staff as I have two patients who have nasty sinus infections that I cant

seem to clear up " . He asked again the dilution I am using:

I take 1/4 cup 6% hydrogen peroxide which I get from the chemist. Then

add + 1/4 cup normal saline to dilute it to 3% hydrogen peroxide. Then I

add a another 1/2 cup of normal saline which gives me a 1.5 % hydrogen

peroxide mixture I use to irrigate my nose. After I bought two litre

bottles of normal saline, I now make my own saline solution to cut down

the costs.

I use the dental irrigation system, with a Grossen adapter for the nasal

part. This helps me get into the sides of the nostrils and towards the

forehead, as you can point the adapter into the area you want. He was so

excited when he saw how clear my sinuses were that he is now using it on

two of his patients. I am sure if you want to give it a try it would be

worth discussing it with your doctor. Print off my email to show him

what we do here in Ausralia.

I recently had a left cataract operation and went without nasal

irrigation for about 10 days. I felt the extreme need to restart

irrigations - and I couldn't believe the dark green mushy drainage plus

the lemon yellow which is staph aureus that came out. Three days later I

am back to normal - and will now need to irrigate only once a day. "

Below is info on a Grossen nasal irrigation adaptor. It attaches to a

Waterpik. My daughter has been using one of these for years. Quite amazing

(and

gross) what this little attachment helps get out of her sinuses.
