skipuppy Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I had to do that when I was in the hospital in fourth grade for a week. They made me rinse my nose with salt water and do yoga Difference between German health care and US health care: privatization In germany in addition to the horrible nose salt water experience that I absolutely dreaded everyday they keep you there for a week, prick your skin and do allergy testing, etc, v the US they put you on a breathing machine for an hour and send you home. Source: Asthma attack. I think if I had a choice I would choose the hour quick fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utahcarver Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 It took me a few minutes to stop laughing at the picture of this woman emptying a gravy boat into her nose! Seriously though, Johns Hopkins University did two separate medical studies, the latest one in 2001, in which they found that over 90% of chronic sinus infections were found to be caused by fungus. These fungal infections were untouched by antibiotic therapy (duh) but were diminished by saline solution therapy. So, why do most US doctors keep prescribing antibiotics for sinus infections? Some folks add anti-fungals like pau d'arco, olive leaf extract, and grapefruit seed extract to the saline solution, too. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gecko Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I've been using a Neti pot fairly regularly for at least a decade. However I don't do the callisthenics's afterwards I just blow my nose. Using one was recommended by a Japanese ENT I went to for a for a couple of bad sinus infections one year. It's worked wonders for me. BTW Neti pots are Indian and have been around for centuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gecko Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 BTW the truely scary thing is the stuff that comes out of your nose when you use a Neti pot. Venturi effect pulls stuff out that you will not believe could be in your face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 lots of benefits to the practice of netipots. however its a pain in the ass. they now make an interesting little gadget, whose name escapes me at the moment, to take its place. ITs basically a 300mm syringe with a soft silicone ball on the end of it. you suck up the solution and then press the ball against one nostril. you then slowly inject the solution into your nose while leaning over the sink. the solution and all the gook comes out the other nostril and you are clear. I also recomend using colloidal silver as a flush for nasal infection. You can find this gadget at your local health food store they work great and you don't have to stand on your head and use a gravy boat:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Fromdahl Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 @ walgreen's they have a product called, amazingly enough, sinus rinse. 15 bucks or so gets an 8 oz injector bottle and 50 packets of salt/soda mixture. there are refills too, but i don't know the price. i work in a tissue mill, and breathing paper dust for 12 hrs/ day makes this product almost a requirement. really gross stuff gets flushed out fast.

willywhit Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Deviated septum ya know. :rolleyes: Like that chick in "the heartbreak kid" who evolves into a nightmarish freak with a free-flowing deviated septum. :lol: Surfing big waves is always good for a random glug glug glug from the sinus cavity, sea water just flowing out an hour after getting out of the water. the stuff that cakes up in yer schnozz after a day of breathing dust on the dirtbike trail IS just nasty.

Gecko Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 nah I've had sinus infections all my life....especially when I smoked but even since then because I spend so much time in places with lots of gunk (submarines). I picked that one up in Tokyo, much to the customs officials irritation when I returned to the USA, back it 2000. It replaced a cute little blue pot that I gave to my wife. is that Ehukai?

bobdea Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 heh, that video reminded me of a guy I used to work with, he had two things he really liked to say, randonee is french for can't tele and when talking about surfing he'd say Bodyboarding is hawaiian for can't surf.

eaglez Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I was just getting into the Tool show with 46 & 2 just starting and then BAM, DONE!!! Gotta go find it and watch it. I have seen Tool 11 times since 1996. Makes me want to get on a plane right now and hit their next show. I'd like to do the Pearl in Vegas show in the new year. D.

Gecko Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 when talking about surfing he'd say Bodyboarding is hawaiian for can't surf. there are waves I've surfed, sunset; waves I've body boarded, ehukai (pipe); and waves I've bodysurfed, pinballs (waimea beach break) each was at the limit of my skills but I was there with other like minded individuals. BTW there are breaks in hawaii that are only body boardable....sandy's is one edit: and to keep this on topic only at sunset did I avoid a complete sinus flush :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 yeah, I was not taking that posistion at all, whenever I see bodyboarding I think of the guy because he had allot against it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
