Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hi, , someone posted that they use Orithrush.There are different versions of that solution. I'd been using salt, baking soda, and sometimes I use Varcho VEda Netti Wash Plus. I was just checking to see what was so good about Orithrush to see if I wanted to use it for sinuses and fungus exposure. I'm wondering if the hydrogen peroxide would burn. My dentist told me not to use it on my gums in my mouth very often since it's hard on the delicate tissues. Sorry, next time I'll copy more of the original post. Jocelyn > > Hi Jocelyn, > > I am not sure what you mean by regular or douche solution. Could you explain the difference? I use the neti pot every day. I use a solution made of salt and baking soda. I just read a suggestion that said to add hydrogen peroxide - so I have been doing that every couple of days. It seems to really clear things out. > > take care, > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 HI again guys, Oriflush seems to be my mold/fungus docs method of choice. He's been in the biz of fungal sinuses for a long time. Not trying to talk anyone into anything. I'd never heard of if before a month ago!

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hi Jocelyn, Thank you for replying. I have been using plain salt and baking soda. I am now adding a small amount of hydrogen peroxide - it was suggested by a member of the aspergillus board. Sometimes it burns but it clears everything out! take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Re: hydrogen peroxide It is too irritating to my skin. There is some in some ear drops I bought and my ears were very irritated after using it, and I have had trouble with other applications also. I would suggest it for topical use only myself. However many people use it for mouth wash successfully but be careful first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 -is there any certain amounts of each, i may try adding bakeing soda and hp sence i have them here handy. i now just mix one dose at a time which is about 2 tablespoons distilled water and just a tiny pinch of canning salt.-- In , Madeska <madeskv@...> wrote: > > Hi Jocelyn, > > Thank you for replying.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I just use a pinch of baking soda. i'd be concerned to use canning salt in my nose.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hi- I am not sure but it probably is supposed to work as a softener and to adjust the ph somewhat- it seemed to help the pain- Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hi- I found this recipe on the web- I mix 1 cup of plain salt (non-iodized) with 1/2 cup of baking soda. I keep this in a sealed tupperware type container. I add 1/4 teaspoon of the mixture to the neti pot. I am only using warm tap water and not having a problem. I use this in the shower. I fill the pot twice and run a full amount through both nostrils. The occ/env doctor would like me to do this twice a day but that would be a bit difficult, so I use simply saline at night before my astelin spray. hope this helps- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hi , This is totally not nitpicking, just a friendly suggestion, but Sherry goes into plastic containers extensively and I would make one suggestion. To keep your neti supplies in glass. I've even gone to the extent of not using plastic bags anymore and ordered cellophane bags online. Maybe this is over the top, but I don't know what's bothering me so am eliminating as much as possible. You're recipe sounds like a good one and I think I'll give it a try. Is the baking soda an anti fungal agent? Madeska <madeskv@...> wrote: Hi- I found this recipe on the web- I mix 1 cup of plain salt (non-iodized) with 1/2 cup of baking soda.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 -yes,thanks,i'm going to add the bakeing soda in, i have asensativity to plastics myself, not only to the new smell of some plastics things but a skin sensativity that i found out about after buying a new plastic tolit seat lid,won't go into that but after i figured it out i was amased at just how sensative i am to some things. i'm not to worried about old used plastic items but don't plan on getting any more new things. i amazes me just how much new items off gas what ever they are made out of or have been dipped in. its a never ending discovery of things i never noticed before or even thought about.-- In , Edy Rayfield <edyrayfield@...> wrote: > > Hi , > > This is totally not nitpicking, just a friendly suggestion, but Sherry goes into plastic containers extensively and I would make one suggestion.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I know, and for me the list seems to be getting longer and longer. Dr. M says when I get to clearing the mold toxins out that these things will slowly reverse. I'm skeptical as lyme is my biggest issue, but this does makes sense.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hi Edy, I never even considered that the container could be a problem. Thank you for the information. As far as baking soda being an anti-fungal- I never heard that it was and I am a lab tech. I think it just buffers the water a bit. I have heard that some people add grapefruit seed extract as an anti-fungal to the neti wash. I never tried that- take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Oh I did and it burned the you know what out of my poor nostrils. It took over a week to heal! I only added 2 drops to the pot. [] Re: neti pot and sorbic orithrush D question reply Hi Edy, I never even considered that the container could be a problem. Thank you for the information.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hi Edy, After I wrote this - I googled baking soda + anti - fungal and there was quite a list. It appears that baking soda may have anti - fungal properties. I had never heard that before- it's true you can learn something new everyday. Just thought I would share- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
