Guest guest Posted February 24, 2001 Report Share Posted February 24, 2001 Hi list, I finally found something that satisfactorily controls chronic sinus infection and mucus/congestion/post nasal drip (CONTROLS, not eliminates... only the cleanses and dental clean-ups will cure it). I bought a Grossan nasal irrigator a few weeks ago (a Water Pik attachment for sinus cleansing), and began using it with normal saline solution. After a couple of days, I could breathe almost normally, and did not need sinus spray at night. This was ok, and I was pleased with the results, but then I found some stuff called ALKALOL. It comes in a 16 oz. bottle from Wal-Mart. Only 3.50 a bottle. They don't carry it on the shelf, but if you ask the pharmacist to order some, they'll have it the next day. This stuff is amazing... The label says it is a " mucus solvent " . It literally liquifies the gunk in the sinuses so it can be expelled easily. I put it in my nasal irrigator solution, but it can also be used in a neti pot or a small squirt bottle to irrigate the sinuses. The label says to use it full strength, or dilute by half with saline, but I found this to be way too strong. I use about 1/4 cup per 1 qt. saline, and I can breathe clearly and easily every day I use it. If I skip 2 days, I have problems. Hope this helps someone else.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I had " chronic " but it's funny, though I took pills for years that chased it away it always came back. But..using the godzilla device, at least for me, removed it permanently at least 7 years ago, and not a peep from it since. I think certain germs live in sinuses and survive attacks. But electricity seemed to get all of mine, it just has never returned, though I had it for at least 20 years prior. The dc current of godzilla should not be a problem for the eyes since there is no pulsation to cause distracting flashes. There is therapy that uses flashes from electricity to stimulate the optic nerve. Used to the small amount of time needed to clean out sinuses, unless someone reports problems and nobody has, should be ok, but YMMV. bG > > Since his sinusitis is chronic he must ultimately determine what is the chronic cause of the inflammation.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 My friend asked "How long for each application of godzilla? How many days if used once per day? Exactly where should the pads be placed? I also suspect there are molds in environment that are possible to trigger the sinus infection? Any good air purify device suggest to be used? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 use the device called godzilla, just make one. use it on cheeks, up against the nose. sponges should be wet but not soaking, wet thoroughly and wring them. use for 20 minute sessions, reversing the position of the sponges left to right every 5 minutes. do this about twice a day. take hot shower with face in the water to help clean out sinuses, as this should create a lot of dieoffs. Expect about a week of this. You may also note that teeth are really clean and smoother since it will dive into the mouth and kill germs there, too. so you could get some or all of the plaque removed from teeth--free! dont' bother with the air filters and other stuff, it never really helped me much, nothing did till I hit it with godzilla. I can't assure that this is safe or effective since there's no FDA approval on it.. as everyone, you are responsible. bG > > > > Since his sinusitis is chronic he must ultimately determine what is the chronic cause of the inflammation.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 bG ... you mean the " godrods " right? 2 C or D batteries in series? I thought the godzilla was the 6V lattern battery. ... Just want to make sure we are all talking about the same thing. The " godrod " ... ie ... 2 C batteries in series are what I have been using with great success.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 you can use either one. I like the godzilla 6 volts, as shown in the group's main page. The time to use the godrods is when the 6 volts is too harsh, or if someone is afraid of the 6 volts, or can't get that type of battery. Either one should work, but if you use godrods, use them with opposite polarities on the area, eg: one positive on the skin the other negative on the skin. godrods need to touch the palms and they pass current through the hands to make contact complete. For sinus, I think the 6 volt is going to work faster but that's just my experience with it. bG > > > > > > > > Since his sinusitis is chronic he must ultimately determine what is the > > chronic cause of the inflammation.
