On the home page of earthclinic, someone posted a sinus remedy. She indicates to cut onions in quarters and pour honey over it and eat it sparingly through out the day!

Lar, some people have relief by eliminating wheat and dairy from their diets. Maybe you can try that for a week.

Hi Lar...I recently had a head cold that just would not go away. I had this problem for weeks. Nose blocked and drippy, tight chest, coughing, difficult to breath at night etc. I was taking all the usual remedies -- humic acid, lugol's iodine, minerals etc. Then one evening I decided to try turpentine -- distilled gum sap of pine. I dabbed 2 to 4 drops of turpentine on my tongue via my finger and kept it in my mouth for as long as possible. I would then breath in through my mouth and breath out through my nose for as long as I could. I did this three or four times during the evening so the turpentine vapour would locally help to kill whatever pathogens were causing my problems in the nose, chest and throat. The next morning my sinuses were clear, my lung issues were gone and everything was back to normal and I could brearth easily again. Turpentine is anti-parasitic, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-mycoplasma. In the older medicine, turpentine was used topically and also regularly supplemented and inhaled as a vapour to cure problems like these.

I also have to say that your problem may well be due to a more deep-seated fungal issue -- because you have had it for over five years with itchy scalp, sore eyes etc. If you also have symptoms like brain fog, lethargy, low energy, allergies etc then this would also help to confirm a fungal problem. If this is the case then your problem or infection may already be in the blood, organs and tissues, and therefore just using topical or local remedies may not work and so you must take other specific remedies to get rid of your ongoing internal fungal infection in the blood.

Hello Lar from Ireland;

Your description clearly shows what the problem is. You have a progressing viral infection of the sinus. It is migrating into the throat (the white spots) and will soon be in your lungs. Likely it is system wide now. The great concern is that the virus will spread past the blood brain barrier.

No doubt it is in both eustachian tubes and ear canals.

Solution is to begin complete sinus and ear irrigations with colloidal silver. Buy a few different brands to test which is best.

Here's how to do it; there really is a proper way to successfully do this...I use an ear syringe to squirt the CS into the sinus on both sides. EXPECT a great STINGING when you squirt. Lean head back and let drain. Repeat 20 minutes later. It will sting but not so much the second time. (The infection is being killed.) Repeat five times daily for a full week. Then can cut back to three times daily for a month. Then twice daily for a YEAR.

Continue the irrigation with syringe squirting CS into ear canals. Repeat daily for a week. (Anything squirting in ear can cause dizziness, so hold onto something, or be leaning into the sink so you don't fall.)

Also gargle with the CS and spit out after first gargle but thereafter gargle and let drain as slowly as possible to coat the throat as much as possible. If there is any indication of lung problems get an inhaler, I mean a small mist maker that makes steam of the CS that can be breathed into the lungs. This is done every day ... up to a month until one is sure the infection is killed in the lungs. Next: Two tablespoons by mouth every day for a year. Year. Why? Because with a five year infection the way you describe the progression I can assure you that the infection is systemic. Also, until the infection is completely killed in the sinus/ears/ throat, once a week, take a tablespoon of CS and hold in mouth letting it soak the teeth and gums. The gums/teeth is where infections of the face often originate...Bells Palsey for instance.

Lar, I've laid out a program that I know from experience has worked many time. Virus infections of the kind you are experiencing are not just a bother. Over time they can be deadly. The infection can deplete and compromise the immune system and can itself kill organs of the body. A close friend developed serious heart problems and the surgeons cut out a dead portion of her heart and after culture found a viral infection had done the damage. Viruses send out colonies to find new homes. They act like ants. Microscopic version if you want to think of it that way. They have the capacity to colonize. At least many do. There are thousand of species.

If the duration of being on the CS for a year as I outline is of concern, then just try the program for a month. If one with the conditions you describe does not see a huge change in thirty days, then either the CS is not potent, or the cause is something unrelated to infection. But I am quite certain your issue is virus. (Maybe fungal too. Fungus can get going when the sinus is stopped up. The stopped up moist sinus is a breading ground for more viruses and fungi.)

One more observation in story form: A friend had been suffering all summer with a sinus infection and I suggested that "if this were me"... and told him about my success with CS; the same explanation as above outlined. He later told me that the first time he "sniffed" the CS as an irrigation, it really stung, just as I'd warned. Then he did it again fifteen minutes later. Well, he explained, it seemed to help but the next day the sinus stuffiness was back. "Ah and did you use the CS again?" No, he explained. Just twice. And he was telling me that the CS didn't work because the next day the infection was still there...even though the protocol is continuous until the infection is gone.

Lar, do you have a saying in Ireland like we have in America, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink"?

Trust me...you have a serious viral infection.
