Re: Sinus problems+can I use LUGOLS?

[Guest guest]

Bonnie-- It really doesn't take much nerve. The Lugol's feels really good up in there. Definitely use distilled water. You don't want to take a chance with regular water that can have all KINDS of things that you don't want up inside your head.

You can use a plastic bottle. Try to find one that says " food safe " or " BPA free " . Generally tho, the white plastic and clear plastic PET bottles are BPA free. The nasal spray bottles are the best. Here is a Google search result for empty nasal spray bottles you can buy:

https://www.google.com/search?client=opera & rls=en & q=nasal+spray+bottle+empty+buy & sourceid=opera & ie=utf-8 & oe=utf-8 & channel=sugge

These are the best format because you don't make a mess getting the spray inside.

AMOUNT OF LUGOL'S: It's up to you. You won't be spraying that much at a time, but you want to spray frequently to get results. Experiment with a little distilled water, a few grains of unrefined salt, and a drop of Lugol's. See how that feels. The salt is to adust the pH of the water so it doesn't burn.

You can also put a pinch of xylitol in the water, which is EXCELLENT for sinus infections. Steph mentioned the product called XClear, which is a xylitol and salt mixture for sinuses.

Here is a blurb from the following source, which mentions Dr 's Tahoma Clinic:

Here is a recipe that looks really good to me. Just add Lugol's drops to it, in addition:

Use it frequently to bathe the tissues and keep the xylitol activated.

Wow , thank you so

much for all this information. Someone wrote before about a different

Iodine she was using called Iodyzyme or something similar and she suggested 5

drops in the bottle but I don’t know anything about this other one.

When I swallow

Lugol’s in water, it burns my throat a wee bit, so I was worried it would

burn my sinuses. No?

Have you tried

it?

Thanks,

Bonnie

Yes, I have tried it, but in a buffered solution with salt and xylitol similar

to the

recipe I posted previously. I strongly suggest that you explore the idea of

adding

some salt to your Lugol's water to buffer it-- or, I take my Lugol's in juice

(1/4 cup,

1/2 and 1/2 unsweeted pomegranate and unsweetened cranberry), and experience

no burning or bad taste.
