Re: Sinus Problems and Mold

[Guest guest]

I'm doing a lot of cleaning in the attic and find my sinuses get

clogged with dust. At the same time I have found hydrogen peroxide to

dislodge dirt and spores around the kitchen sink more easily than any

other cleaning product.

So-- then-- why can't I make a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water

and do a nasal wash. It might just work to dislodge the dust or

spores that become stuck in the passages.

Some people like myself have very narrow passages (I was told) and

it's easy for dust to get stuck in there.

More good info. The group is throwing out some great info recently as always.

The Benefits of Nasal CleansingCleansing the nose and sinuses with saltwater has

been recommended for centuries as a method of improving nasal breathing and

promoting health. Recent medical studies have affirmed the efficacy of this

common home remedy. New York Sinus Center physicians have found that daily nasal

cleansing with a buffered hypertonic saline solution is a crucial component in

efforts to maintain sinus health and decrease episodes of infection. Daily nasal

hygiene helps clear the nasal passages of mucus, shrinks nasal membranes and

improves breathing. It also promotes mucociliary flow, the body's natural

cleansing and filtering system and removes inhaled material including pollen,

dust, mold and other pollutants. In light of the recent findings by Mayo Clinic

(http://www.mayo.edu/) investigators implicating inhaled mold as the main cause

of sinusitis, the argument for daily nasal cleansing becomes even more

compelling.

We advocate:

accurate diagnosis, especially identification of acid reflux, allergy and

environmental problems, such as indoor mold exposure;

My single caution would be on the label of the bottle that says for external use

only, and goes as far to say only small areas of skin also. Some of this is for

a liability issue but due to the bubbeling of the peroxide that is of concern

also. A friend of mine used it in an ear infection once. I have never seen

anyone screem like that before.

I will try to copy and post the information I have on peroxide soon. Course I

need to read it again as well.

Carefull of what you are breathing in in that attic...

Hi llaci,

I think that the peroxide that is diluted with water, and used as a mouth

rinse, is a different version than the one that is swabbed on the skin, as a

disinfectant. So, I think that you should speak with your pharmacist before

using it in your nose. Go to www.neilmed.com to see the standard nasal rinse

which is available in many chain drug stores, and online also. It is a mixture

of Sodium Chloride (salt) and sodium bicarbonate(pH Balanced). The web site

shows which chain drug stores carry it. I don't know if it works, but its

inexpensive, comes in individual dose packets, and can't possibly hurt you. If

you squirt it up your nose, with their squirt bottle, you will experience a

little gagging as you are supposed to put it into your nose and spit it out of

your mouth. I never tried it personally. Good Luck.

Drug stores sell dust/pollen masks which are good to wear when

cleaning. A kerchief over your hair and ears also helps. The best cure

for sinus problems provoked by dusty areas is prevention.

People should not put peroxide up their nose. It " rots " the nasal

hairs out and is not good for the sinuses at all. Sometimes I think

most of the problems people have are by picking up such methods over

the internet and not following directions on the label or using a

product for what it was not intended for...all I have to say, it is

not my nose...but I did try it once...bad bad idea I picked up from a

poster here.

The only product which is good for a sinus wash is salt without

iodine mixed with distill water.

I have done h2o2, saline, nasal wash and they are helpful. But be careful about

the amount of h202 you put in there. Too much will burn alot. Try using a

diluted mix of 35% food grade peroxide. The recipe for diluting 35% to the

pharamcy levels of the store bought type is 1oz. of the food grade peroxide to

11oz of pure water. Then add a 2-3 drops in a saline solution to start. It's

better to use food grade as it is pure. The store bought peroxide usally has

some impurities like heavey metals. As far as I know store bought peroxide

doesn't have high levels of impurities, the food grsde is just better. If you

can't find food grade then do the store bought version.

Hope this is helpful for you,

I use a saline solution and alternate 2-3 drops of

grapefruit seed extract one day and 4 drops of

colloidal silver in saline the next. I found this

pretty effective.

If you search " The role of airborne mold on chronic rhinosinusitus "

or Dr. Sherris or Dr. Jens Ponikau, you will probably find the

article you're looking for.
