Please try snorting some Apple Cider Vinegar. I used to have very bad sinus attacks. I used to use a sheet to keep on blowing my nose then it would become blocked. It finally went away on its own then about 1 year ago it hit me like gangbusters again after more then 30 years. I didn't know what to do so I put 3 drops of ACV in the palm of my hand and mixed it with water, I snorted it up my nose and after a few minutes my nose became unblocked. It burned a little but I felt great. Even the pains in my body went away. Hope this helps you. Please take care.

Would you be so kind as to share with me what you and your husband did for the churg-strauss syndrome...I have been sick with this for the last 6 years and searching everywhere. Please share with me what you have done so I can get my life back too! Thank you so much! Anita

I had a cat scan and MRI which revealed I had so much mucous and thickened skin in my sinuses that there was no room for any air. The ENT informed me that I should have sinus surgery but I put it off for another year while I tried alternate solutions.
Two days ago, I had surgery and it was a good thing I did. My septum was deviated in two places blocking both my upper and lower sinuses. I also had polyps and extra flaps of skin hanging down and blocking airways.
I desperately tried to avoid surgery thinking natural remedies were best, but unfortunately there are some problems only surgery can fix. The MRI and ct scan did not detect the deviated septum. So without this surgery, I would have continued to use essential oils, diet and nutrition without getting the full benefits. I am so looking forward to getting the stitches, packing and splints out and see what it is like to breathe comletely unobstructed again.
My recommendation for some of you would be: don't be as stubborn as I was, do your research, practice healthy sinus therapies but don't dismiss surgery. God gave us herbs, foods and other natural healing remedies but he also gave us medical wisdom to be able to fix things that couldn't be fixed without surgery.

By simply taking wheat and gluten out of the diet many people are having amazing health turnarounds and losing a tonne of weight.
Google wheat belly and see what peope are saying. It is a great book to read on the subject.

So sorry about the abbreviation. I was sending a second post, a sort of ps to an original post.
Earth Clinic staff correctly said what CS is; colloidal silver. A colloid is a suspension and in this case the suspension is that of atoms of silver in water and is proported by advocates to kill virus and fungus and even bacteria.
I contend that a lot of ailments may track back to infections and am always on the look out for good anti virals and anti fungal remedies. CS is my favorite. I'm currently reading about MMS. Oh no... another abbreviation.

By the way; because your infection is long lasting, if this were me I'd assume the infection might have gone into the rest of my body. And to kill that systemic infection (let's hope not) take a tablespoon of the CS on empty stomach for a few months. You already might be experiencing some symptoms that you had not thought were related to the sinus infection. If you are having some issues that have developed after the onset of the infection, then the two could likely be related and therefore you need to be on oral doses of the CS for many months.

You have a chronic sinus infection. Probably viral since the prescription meds, likely antibiotics didn't knock out the infection. So it is viral or fungal.
You will need a high ppm colloidal silver to kill the infection. I have had such infections many times, my sinuses being prone to infection. Any inflammatory condition will make the sinus cavities ready virus factories.
To kill a virus I use colloidal silver of a high ppm (parts per million) usually listed on the bottle. I make my own and is simple to do.
I take the solution of water with atoms of silver (colloidal silver) and there is so little silver that I cannot taste it or see anything in a clear container. (The dilution from the first two cup solution is about 32 to 1.)
I take an ear syringe and filling it, then gently squirt into the sinus cavity on both sides. You've been infected a long time so expect a real sting on both sides deep into the sinus. A bad infection with me will feel like the stinging is almost in back of my eyes; that's when I know I am deeply infected. Lean head back and let solution drain into throat. You will begin to drain. Be holding onto something because the solution in sinus can cause dizziness as you lean your head back.
Repeat fifteen minutes later. The stinging will not be nearly so bad.
Three times daily repeat until the infection is gone. Also I will irrigate my ears; same thing. Just gently squirt the CS into the ears. With both ears and sinus the CS will also get to Eustachian tubes. Again, if infection is in your ears (and likely it is given the duration) be holding onto something because water squirted into ears can cause virtigo.
With that I've just given myself an "irrigation" or a upper cleaning, if you will.
I've been on CS for about 20 years and have always had remarkable results especially in sinus congestion/infection problems. And since seeing the success have read a lot about the connection between many ailments and viral triggers. I do not believe or advance the idea that CS is a cure all, but it is sure something I'd go to when all else seems to fail... The bottom line question being; could this problem perhaps have a viral cause? If so the CS sure can't hurt trying when nothing has seemed to work. CS kills fungal infections also.
By the way, not all CS seem to be as potent as others. The CS solutions that claim they use some super special method for making their stuff is questionable and I've even found from practical usage that they don't do what my simply made 27 volt "fast" method accomplishes.
Pleas let us know if you find some results from this.

I suffered with nasal polyps for about two years. During that time my body was under a great deal of stress from thyroid and adrenal issues. My polyps were concentrated on one side of my nose, and kept me from being able to breathe through my nose at all when lying down. I tried a few of the suggestions on this site without any luck, and had given up for the most part.
But about five months ago I stopped eating dairy and gluten to help my thyroid and adrenal problems. After about two months the polyps seemed to loosen one day, and I felt them drain down my throat. It has been three months since then, and I have not felt any sign of their return. I can't be sure what it was that caused the polyps, but because I have tried cutting gluten before without result, I believe it was the dairy. I only hope that this helps someone else solve their polyp problems. I will never take the ability to breathe out of my nose for granted again.

You didn't mention if the blockage is due to infection, or due to allergy or something else. I would suggest you to try the following: cup your hands gently and use the side tips (facing you) of your index finger, with an up/down motion, rub the outside bottom of your nose where both spots connect to the face. Apply a little pressure until the base of the nose become warm to a bit hot. You should notice your nose would have opened up a bit by then. If it works, keep doing it as a habit. It will help the blood flow and strengthen the muscles inside.
This is a Chinese acupuncture procedure that cost nothing other then your own effort. Hope it would help.
Good luck!

I have had a blocked nostril for 3 days. If I put some saline drops it unblocks for sone minutes and then gets blocked again. I was disheartened to find that there is only 1 post on here about it. Perhaps it is not a common problem. I checked the google book someone suggested here and the particular page (614) is not there. I dont have access to homeopaths or osteopaths where I live. I can only go to see a doctor and I'm 100% certain I would be given some antibiotics and nothing else if I do go. Pls if anyone here knows some home remedy that may help me, kindly reply.

Go down to "An Osteopathic Approach To Diagnosis and Treatment"
Then go to page 614 of that book. It gives explicit instructions on the Technique for Drainage of The Nasal Passages
It is a simple massage of the nose that I might try first. When or if you do decide to do that, then I would only do it for 3 minutes at a time, and only 5 days. If nothing happens, then go and see an Osteopath. Please let me know if that helps!

I would suggest Finger Surgery by an Osteopath.
Here is the Osteopath Association link
http://www.osteopathic.org/Pages/default.aspx
When you call the Association, tell them you need an Osteopath from the "old school of thought" - the type that uses massage instead of medicine. Today's Osteopaths unfortunately think that it was a Quack Medicine, but I believe in them. Hope this helps your son! I hate to see anyone suffer, especially a child.

Someone suggested baking soda in his nose on the turbinate with water on a q-tip b/c it is alkaline and he is probably acidic and that the BS will shrink the turbinate. I tried to get it in his small nostrils but decided to mix with water and spray into his nose. Will that hurt him or have any negative side effects on an 8 yr. Old? If safe how much water and BS to mix for the formula? Do you know any way to shrink these naturally or am I on the right track with the BS?
Thanks, Sheree
