Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / December 2004To stop sinus infections, I flood my sinuses with peroxide and baking soda
After suffering with multiple sinus infections, year after year, for decades, I experimented with flooding my nasal passages with a mixture of diluted 3% hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and kosher salt. In order to flood my nasal passages and keep them flooded, I keep my forehead pointed downward. I keep my forehead down for quite a while, hoping that the anti-infective mixture can get to the infected area(s) within my sinuses and nasal passages. . It works! I have been sinus infection free for about 3 years. I think that I had chronic infection problems with my turbinates, so flooding my nasal passages with the anti-infective mixture worked very well, for me, since the infected areas were fairly easy to reach. . I have fully documented my experience and how I did it at Healthboards.com. There are posts there by people who have tried my "upside down sinus flooding" and have received either partial relief or total relief. There are also posts there from those who it hasn't helped, and by those who don't think that it is a good idea. I have no connection at all with Healthboards. I use it because I consider it to be the best facility for discussing health problems on the Internet. . To find out more, select one of the following links: .

I am concerned about what long-term effects this treatment might have. I don't know what constantly flooding your upper respiratory tract with hydrogen peroxide is going to do to the mucous membranes and the other delicate structures. Have you asked an ENT to scope you out and be sure everything is OK in there?  SignatureSteven D.

I have to give credit to my ENTs for decades of suppying me with steriod nasal sprays and antibiotics and for sinus surgery. They did the best that they could, I guess. I wonder why ENTs are not suggesting some type of peroxide/baking soda irrigation or flooding for recurring sinus infections within the nasal passage area. Is it because they just don't know, or is there a financial reason for keeping their patients in sinus misery all the time? Is there more money to be made in carving up someone's sinuses, or more money in curing sinus disease? I have now gone over three years since I started flooding my sinuses with diluted 3% hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and kosher salt. I have done about 50 sinus floodings, or an average of less than TWO FLOODINGS PER MONTH, most of them in the first year. My sinuses feel great. They are wide open and comfortable. I am totally off steroid nasal sprays, or any other sinus meds. Once in a while I need to use a tissue to wipe my nose, but I only have to blow my nose perhaps once a week. My sense of smell is better. Do you feel that I need to see an ENT so that I can ask him if I am OK? What do I tell his receptionist? Do I ask for an appointment because my sinuses are feeling great and I want to be placed back on steroid nasal sprays? Perhaps I can ask for an antibiotic so it can be like the old times? Actually, I understand your concern, and thanks for your question, but if there is something wrong with my sinuses, then I hope that it continues to be wrong FOREVER! .

I'm concerned because you can snort NeoSynephrine or Afrin for years and feel great too. Until the day comes that you end up with an ulcerated nasopharynx. SignatureSteven D.

I agree completely.If it works for you,thats great.Lets not lead anyone to believe it is some sort of medical secret or miracle. > -- > Steven D.

It's now been over three years since I started the sinus floodings. How many more years of doing an average of one flooding per month do you think it might take to ulcerate my nasopharynx? I would think that chronic, uncontrolled sinus infections would present more of a risk to the patient's health. I've had feedback from people, who have been to ENTs for many years, and have been living with sinus pain and misery for years, and who have had sinus surgery; who say that the sinus flooding with peroxide has made a huge difference in their lives and has taken away either part, or all of their pain and sinus misery. Regardless of that, I am concerned about someone abusing the sinus floodings. I hope that anyone who tries the sinus flooding, does it under a doctor's supervision, and does not abuse the procedure by using too strong a dose of peroxide, or by doing it too frequently, or when they don't have a sinus infection. I've been posting about my experience with sinus flooding for a little over a year. I don't get paid for it. I don't make a cent. But, every once in a while, I get feedback from someone out there, in this world, who thanks me for saving them from a life of pain and misery. I think to myself, "If I hadn't of gotten off my lazy arse, and took the many hours to post about the sinus flooding, those people would still be in misery. It would have been very selfish on my part." Have you ever used hydrogen peroxide to treat a patient's sinus infection?
