Can do...I have been very interested in your upside down flooding method and so, being the good scientist I am, have looked for some support for the anecdotal evidence and success you have experienced.  This is in no way an attack, and in fact, I have tried your method myself.

My one worry/question that someone else brought up has been does the Hydrogen Peroxide damage the cilia?  After searching Pub Med and reading some of the abstracts, I came up with the article below.  It may have nothing at all to do with your technique, but based on what the abstract says, I can't tell whether they are using hydrogen peroxide in solution.  Their results show ciliary slowing and epithelial damage.  However, CS and ED may only be temporary and worth it to kill the infection.  One nice thing is they list an email address.  I thought you might have an interest in writing them about your method to see what imput they might have.  The article title/abstract is below.  It might also be intereting to see the article in full text...their method would be fully explained and there would be background information.

We have investigated the effects of pneumolysin and H2O2, putative virulence factors of Streptococcus pneumoniae, on the ciliary beat frequency and structural integrity of human ciliated epithelium in vitro. Human ciliated epithelium was obtained by brushing the inferior nasal turbinate of healthy human volunteers. Ciliary slowing (CS) was measured using a photo-transistor technique and epithelial damage (ED) was documented using a visual scoring index. Effects of recombinant pneumolysin (100 ng/ml), a mutant pneumolysin preparation with markedly reduced haemolytic activity (100 ng/ml) and reagent H2O2 (100 microM) were measured alone and in combination, in the absence and presence of catalase (1000 units/ml). When used individually, both recombinant pneumolysin and H2O2 caused significant (P < 0.05) CS and ED. The effects of H2O2 but not those of pneumolysin were almost completely attenuated by catalase, while the mutant pneumolysin preparation did not cause significant CS or ED. When used in combination, the effects of pneumolysin and H2O2 on CS and ED were additive as opposed to synergistic. These actions of pneumolysin and H2O2 may contribute to the pathogenesis of respiratory tract infections caused by the pneumococcus.
