I had a client come to me with chronic sinusitis. She has been to the doctors many times over the past 6 months and has been prescribed different antibiotics and nasal sprays (Fluticasone) with no relief.
Since she was not responding to any anti-biotic treatment made me suspect she had a fungal infection and these lame doctors are not treating the underlying problem. Plus, researchers at Mayo Clinic discovered that sinusitis, an inflammatory disease, is caused by yeast 96% of the time and cured by anti-fungals. Fungi are the major cause of a chronic sinus infection. Individuals with weak immunity are more susceptible to such infections.
According to research, chronic sinusitis (there is also acute sinusitis) is a consequence of an immune disorder triggered by fungus. Back in 1999, a research team discovered that there were fungal organisms present in the mucus of 96 percent of patients who underwent chronic sinusitis surgery. Namely, fungus and mold spores are in the air all the time and therefore, we inhale them and they stay in the sinuses' mucus lining. Since yeast are opportunistic organisms that flourish as immune function declines, it becomes obvious why these diseases are seen more. People who are more prone to chronic sinusitis will experience an immune response to the fungi, which will further cause sinusitis signs. This is why antifungals will be much more effective than antibiotics in treating the problem. Antibiotics do nothing to kill fungal infections and I believe they make things worse.
Results
She said she could see results after the 3rd spray. In less than one week, she is 90% better.

Glycerin is thick and viscous, at high concentrations it can produce irritation upon injection into the sinus membranes. Plus, it will not work in a nasal sprayer properly. You want a fine mist, not a glob dribble coming out of the sprayer. This problem is avoided with alcohol aqueous extracts.

Sure, I know people that have used baby shampoo in their nasal neti-pot. Only thing I would add is to ingest oregano capsules or start eating garlic cloves daily as and anti-microbial if aspergillus has gone systemic.

I tried lots of remedies over last year. Doing well with diet in place. I just started Bill Thompson candida protocol this week. With Lugols etc. Been on itraconazole over two months decided wasn't right for me and stopped. I'm doing better digestively but the main problem is it's in sinus blocking Eustachian tubes. You name it and it was used up there! Except your suggestion.. I'm going to try it out. So a 1.5 ml dropper worth in how much saline mix? Thanks,
