Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / September 2004Hydrogen Peroxide -- again.
.Hello... I'm curious... How come any threads that mention hydrogen peroxide whip through this group like diarrhea? ....Just a guess here, but I bet the future will see this chemical being touted as a front-line treatment for sinusitis, as opposed to snorting some antibiotic concoction. ....Jon The salt, baking soda and peroxide recipe has been around a long time. Check this site http://www.aasj.com/tip_salt.htm Doctor's have downplayed the use of peroxide in sinus irrigation feeling that it may damage the sinus cavities over a period of time. Can-Do took this recipe from someplace on the web and passed it off as his brainchild. For the most part, I for one, have seen the various threads that were started/responded to by Can-Do and felt it was not worthwhile to make any additional comments on the subject. I've heard that doctors are afraid that the peroxide will damage the tiny sinus hairs. After three years of doing about 50 sinus floodings with peroxide, my sinuses are the BEST they have ever been! I can't believe that I suffered from so much misery for so many years, when there was a simple solution. If my little, tiny, itsy hairs are damaged, so be it. You said: "Can-Do took this recipe from someplace on the web and passed it off as his brainchild." The chicken or the egg? I did read about irrigating the sinuses, with a diluted mixture of peroxide, before I experimented with my first flooding. But, I never read about the technique of lowering the head and flooding the sinuses. Now I see that others are recommending this technique, and including baking soda and kosher salt. I hope that it spreads all over the Internet and that a thousand people take credit for the idea. I was excited about the sinus flooding technique, but I still waited two years before posting my experiences. I wanted to make sure that it worked, and that it was safe. My motivation for spending so much time spreading the news?

Also...... ENTs might not want to push the sinus flooding, with peroxide, as a treatment for sinus infection, due to the low payback. ENTs make a lot more money if their patients keep coming back. "whip through this group like diarrhea"??? I couldn't of said it better myself! <g> ...All I know is I've used it maybe 1/2 dozen times, especially when I feel a flare-up coming on. ...I don't know what it does inside, but I do know it ended the pain around and below my eyeball (caused by infection), where 3 years of 3X per day, straight salt water irrigation (and a multitude of levaquin pills) had no effect. Personally ...I think the antibiotic up the nose regimen is a waste of time. Had no effect at all on my sinusitis. ....Now the H2O2. .....Well after the first use (where it stung like hell), I was blowing out blood and mucus into my bath tub. ...I would suggest you keep right on spreading the word about H2O2, CanDo. I would sure like to read if anyone else has tried it -- and if they noticed any improvement.. ....Jon Thanks for the feedback, Jon. I especially liked the fact that the flooding is really working for you and that you have not overused the procedure. It worries me when I get feedback from people who do daily peroxide sinus floodings. You said that it relieved your pain around your eyeball. Does that mean that the infection was in or around your ethmoidal sinuses? Or..... the pain under your eye....... that's the upper part of the Maxillary sinuses. Could it have somehow gotten in there? I wish I knew why it works in places that are difficult to reach. Jon, there has been feedback from peroxide sinus flooders, in many forums around the internet, like the yahoo sinus forums, the curezone sinus forum, and the onlineinstitute forum, but the most feedback has been in www.healthboards.com . PreciousJames, who lives in Taiwan, has just had significant results using the peroxide sinus floodings. To read more about his successful treatment, follow this link: http://www.healthboards.com/boards/showthread.php?p=1172514#post1172514 . Thanks for the encouragement! I will keep spreading the word, and thanks to you for also spreading the word! > ...All I know is I've used it maybe 1/2 dozen times, especially when I > feel a flare-up coming on. ...I don't know what it does inside, but I do [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > word about H2O2, CanDo. I would sure like to read if anyone else has > tried it -- and if they noticed any improvement.. ....Jon Hi CanDo.... My sinusitis is mainly restricted to my ethmoids and lower frontals. Some days (even without noticable symptoms), if I put some pressure on my right eyeball, I would feel some pain. This is one symptom that I couldn't get rid of with my normal irrigation regimen. ..I'm not normally bothered by the maxillary, but I have had periodic pain when putting pressure on the bone directly below my eye. Don't know if this is somehow related to the ethmoid infection. ...Jon I tried it a few times......probalbly 10-15 times both upside down and rightside up. It foamed and it ran like crazy. All it ever did for me was agrivate my sypmtoms. It also made it hard for me to sleep the following evening. My sinuses were so inflamed I guess. My symptoms have always been runniness and not congestion so that may be where the problem lies. DBall63 The first time I tried the H2O2, my nose was sore and stuffed up for a few days. I thought it had made matters worse. ....But when the "smoke" had cleared, I noticed that the pain around my eye was significantly reduced. I wasn't sure whether the improvement was due to the work of the H202, or simply from the burning irritation (which caused the sinuses to automatically purge themselves). ...After subsequent uses, however, I've come to the conclusion that it actually is working towards fighting the infection, itself. ...Now, If I feel a flare up coming on, I'll usually give my sinuses a good shot of the H202 (while everything is still relatively clear.) ...Jon |
