In an empty and clean nasal spray bottle:
Mixture:
3% Hydrogen peroxide (regular pharmacy):
Baking soda: One or two pinches. Kosher salt or sea salt: One pinch. OR I use the pre-mixed saline package you buy for the neti pot. Add about 40 parts of saline sol't to one part H2O2 (in my 3oz nasal spray bottle this is about one cap full)
I place a towel and a tissue nearby and then stand over my sink and point my forehead down into my sink. I forcefully spray the mixture into each nostril to force the antiseptic mixture around any swollen turbinates or polyps. After my Nasal Passages fill up, additional spraying may cause the mixture to come out the other nostril. I make sure that the container tip is firmly implanted in my nose so that it's difficult for the liquid to come back out of that nostril. If it stings, I wait for the stinging to subside and then repeat the forceful spraying, into each nostril, until the sprayer is empty. I keep my head down for a few minutes to let the mixture seep into all areas. A lot of the mixture can foam out of my nostrils, down my forehead, and into the sink. A little messy. I keep my eyes closed so that it doesn't drain into my eyes. I lift and tilt my head upwards, while it's over the sink, and let my nose drain. The discharge can look pretty bloody, foamy and nasty.
Since my nasal membranes have healed, there is much less foam and NO blood. I then stand up and use the tissue to clean my forehead of foam and discharge. I don't blow my nose for a few minutes. This allows the mixture a little longer to do its job with my head in an upright position. For full details I would search upside down sinus flushing. I just looked on Google and the same very helpful article shows 3 times on different websites. A few cautions can be noted for those worried about getting the solution into your tubes. Definitely worth a read if you're getting as desperate as I was.

You will be amazed at how it will knock out a sore throat. I gargle twice 30 minutes apart. That kills 90 percent of all throat problems. To get into the sinus most effectively I use an ear syrenge and gently squirt into both sinus passages. The dominately infected side will sting. But the second time you reapply (best after 20 minutes or so) there will be no stinging. Again that kills most sinus infections. Over the years I know that I might have to keep at the infection for 4 or 5 applications. Remember viruses sometimes come with a protective coating. Those kind must get doused with silver more than the non coated kind. If I use a "dropper" to drip into the sinus, that method does not really get the silver all through the sinus passages. Best to put 20 drops in palm of hand and sniff deeply to get "way back" into the sinus area. Again, the ear syrenge is best. One light squirt as I sniff deeply will pull the liquid deeply into the sinus area. I lean my head back and let the silver drain back into the throat and swallow. This has been my preferred method for 16 years in dealing with sinus infections. I used to get four really bad colds a year with one or two of them getting into the lungs. I have only had perhaps five infections in the past 10 years that were "fierce" and even then the silver has really helped keep them under some managable control. Three of them were treated for three weeks. Only two got to the respiratory.
If the infection has gotten to the upper respiratory, I use a mist producting machine and of course I put silver solution into the "pan" and I breath the warm mist deeply into the lungs. That normally takes 5 applications daily for 3 or four days.
For infections that have gone "systemic" or body wide, I would take about a quarter of a cup of silver solution on an empty stomach twice daily. Ending a system wide infection may take six months to kill throughout the body. One systemic infection I came across was very dramatic in demonstrating silver's effectiveness. Patient had a bite on his back (not sure what bit him) and within 3 days swelling and pain had migrated five inches into the shoulder and neck. Months it stayed there and patient lost all energy. He could not work. 4 expert MDs later and after five months the condition had only worsened. Appled silver solution with DMSO to affected neck. Only one treatment. He took silver internally twice a day for six months. In only one week he could tell that his energy was returning. He went back to work in about 2 weeks and no symptoms in a month.
I do not take silver daily. I take it only if I suspect an infection. If I have an eye infection I only use silver for two applications in a day and only for two days. Skip a week. Then I reapply.
Silver can kill virus, bacteria and fungus.
To get to an infection under the skin, I like to use silver solution mixed with an equal amount of DMSO, an effective solvent used universally by Vets. (We are animals too.)
No, my skin has not turned blue.
